Birbala!
Birbala!
Birbala!
Birbala! Birbala, where are you hiding!?
Look the sun is about to set!
Then how could I search
you in the moonlight!?
Birbala!
Didn't I ask you not to go on that side?
I'm tired of explaining this to
Birbal. But he doesn't listen.
You wicked, you've
started talking a lot.
It's not safe to go there. Come.. come.
Birbal, you are here!
Birbal, do you just
have to wander here..
.. and there or learn
something in life as well?
Whatever I say you hear with this ear..
.. and let go with the other.
In this way you won't even
get admission in any school.
Grandpa, look what Birbal has found
Grandpa, is it dead;
won't it ever fly again?
Perhaps it's journey ended here.
- Journey means?
Means it's purpose must have got solved.
What is purpose, grandpa?
- Purpose?
Whatever we have to do in
life; consider it your purpose.
Without a purpose life has no identity.
Grandpa, what is my purpose?
One has to decide one's
own purpose, Tahaan.
Eating everything!
- Hey Tahaan, come here!
Do you teach this to your Birbal?
Look he nibbled my clothes.
Take these sheep to the mountains.
Then you'll come to know, Zoya!
- Come to know what?
That how difficult is the job of us men.
- You and man?
Do one thing; go and call mother.
Shouldn't I take Birbal?
- Leave him at least sometime!
Go; say grandpa has come, go!
Come, Birbal come.
All the time Birbal..
all the time Birbal!
You want to become
Birbal when you grow up!?
You could never catch me, Zoya!
Son of Birbal!
You know Birbal, mother
was crying even today.
Look mother has come;
now you'll get scolded.
Mother, you know I went
to look for Birbal..
from the mountain side.
And then Birbal spotted a dead bird.
I didn't bring him; he
came after me himself.
And then I went home and
grandpa went to police station.
Tahaan, Zoya, look carefully and say..
.. what all do you see here?
Nothing.
- You shut up; you don't know anything. I'll say.
I see colourful threads.
That depends on the
style of the onlooker.
Father weaved this with his hands, grandpa?
- Yes.
Let father come then I'll tell him to..
.. make a picture of
Birbal also in this.
Donkey in carpet; have
you gone mad or what?
Grandpa, Birbal is absolutely
ready to go to work.
We both.. -Tahaan, you are
just a kid; immature by brain.
Grandpa, don't pay
attention to her words.
This matter is between us men.
Birbal, I've convinced grandpa.
Now you don't make any mess.
So what if I fell asleep;
Is this donkey yours? He is very cute.
His name is Birbal.
When my father brought him from Sirhom..
.. he was this small.
You aren't coming to
school; going to work?
Tahaan walks like a donkey.
- come on, move!
Tahaan walks like a donkey..
Tahaan walks like a donkey.
Come on, move!
Tahaan walks like a donkey.
Tahaan, look your
donkey is running away.
Birbal.
Hello? What? 1 0 rupees per kilo?
Sir, even if apples rot; they
won't sell at the price of potatoes.
Okay discount for you. Fifty..
fifty; but only this time
Uncle Yakub, only interest
is getting deposited in your..
.. account; have you thought
something about the capital?
I have kept the accounts
clear, sir; nothing to worry.
And your son Yusuf;
who'll repay his loan?
Well, we pay the interest on time, sir.
I'm worried about the capital.
It's 5 years since
your son went missing.
What are you saying, sir; it's not..
.. even 3 years that Yusuf went away.
But.. but your money won't go anywhere.
I am the head of the family. I promise.
Grandpa, Birbal and I have come.
Come on, don't we've to go to work?
Who advised you to come
here? Go home immediately.
But last night..?
Hello?
- Go.. go.
What's the matter,
young man; you look lost?
Come on, let's hear a
Very innocent; exactly like Zoya.
Her parents used to toil
in the sun whole day.
And only then they could
On the other hand whole
day that small girl..
.. used to move here
and there in the house.
Absolutely upset.
One day.. it rained heavily!
And the roof of that
old tattered house..
.. was leaking from many places.
Water kept dropping inside from there.
For long she kept watching
this with petrified eyes.
Then for sometime.. she fell asleep.
Then, her house got drowned in water?
All the clouds disappeared somewhere.
Bright sun came out.
Through that hole light was coming in.
And fell on a dead
butterfly on her shirt.
Slowly that butterfly became alive.
- Became alive!
And then it came out of her
shirt and started flying..
.. here and there.. here
The girl's happiness knew no bounds.
- Then?
face of that small girl.
That's it! Since then
her life got changed.
She understood that life
is not for being upset.
It is like a pleasant dream.
It has to be lived to the full!
Say what?
- Could such light touch me also?
Yes, my child yes.
Birbal.. -Tahaan, why don't
you teach him properly?
I wonder who is teaching whom?
You're teaching the donkey
or the donkey is teaching you.
'It's not the question
of only your husband. '
'8 thousand men are missing here. '
'Now even no hope is left any more '
'We don't even know
if he's alive or not. '
'Shall I consider myself a widow?
'Oh Allah, to die is better than this. '
Mother, where are you taking all this?
Why are you taking of this carpet?
Birbala? Birbala?
'Everyone is gone; even
Birbal is not here!'
Mother, wait! Mother, wait!
Mother, where is Birbal!?
Mother, wait!
Wait!
Tahaan, wait! Where are you running!?
Hey wait. Don't run!
I'm getting late!
Why.. why you beat him!? Why!?
Why you beat him!? Why!?
Leave.. Leave Leave.. Leave him!
Leave.. Leave!
- This donkey is not yours any more
This belongs to Lalaji. Go from here!
If you listen to me then your
problems will end forever.
If you listen to me then your
problems will end forever.
This is your solution. If
you sell this house to us..
.. then this loan will get
repaid. And then you just relax.
That is all right. But I
can't ruin my business..
.. waiting for some missing person.
Look, I kept this proposal
considering your feelings.
The rest is up to you.
But, mother Biral..?
Hello!? Hello!?
Hello, I am Moli speaking.
I've sent a money order
There is no letter for
you. If it comes I'll send.
Well, policemen were looking for you.
You didn't get informed? Then go.
Mother, but what about Birbal?
Your husband is missing?
Boy, go home.
'Curfew is imposed
in the whole region. '
to trespass near Karnal sector. '
'BSF restricted them. '
the firing and 3 wounded. '
Anyone among them?
Hey boy, come here.
