This WAS your battle...

Now it's OURS!

Pack your stuff.

Where are you taking me?

- To the safe house.

Where Wazir can't reach you...

nor you Qureshi!

I don't even know who I'm

protecting here.

Ruhana, I'm dreading

the food at that safe house.

Won't you treat me

to a meal before I go?

Of course.

It'll be good karma.

And yes, I won't come alone.

I'll have company.

Ruhana, the food

is absolutely delicious!

You're such a charmer!

It's your effect!

What say, Daanish?

You know...

whenever I look at you two...

it reminds me

of the olden times.

That was the era of love.

Today, even the spelling

of Love has changed to LUV.

In these frugal times,

your love remains so generous.

Don't lose it.

Treasure it, like these pictures

Whenever dust settles on them...

Make sure to wipe it off

I'm but a fraction,

You make me whole

In the game of love

A lone heart can't win

I too shall meet defeat

My love, if you give in

Whether you say it or you don't

My heart can hear...

You're with me, my dear

You're right here

You're with me, my dear

You're right here

Storms of disasters

fail to make me cry

But a moment of your

absence will flood my eye

Panditji?

Hello.

Daanish Ali,

you took your buddy home...

but forgot to cancel his ticket.

What?

The old man has

left for the airport.

He'll fly all right,

but not in a plane.

Daanish!

Pick it up!

Sartaj, alert all check

posts on the way to the airport.

What's the matter?

Panditji is heading to Kashmir.

We must stop him!

Just do it, Sartaj!

Come ahead.

Blue Winger spotted near India Gate.

Daanish.

- Yeah, Sartaj.

Car located.

- Where?

Near India Gate.

Yeah, Sartaj.

Are you okay?

Yeah, Sartaj.

- Rajpath Road, near India Gate.

Game over, Daanish Ali.

Panditji!

This endless cheering

means only one thing...

Yazaad Qureshi is about to speak.

As you can see, this enthusiasm...

is a proof that...

it'll be a

record-breaking election.

For the first time in ages...

the people of Kashmir

are hopeful about elections.

Experts believe this

will start a healthy debate...

on many issues

important to Kashmir.

When is the next flight to Kashmir?

- 9:
30, sir.

One way or return?

One way.

Dear Ruhana, the news

of my death might reach you...

before this letter.

I'm really sorry.

I failed to be a good

father and husband...

But I wish to be a worthy friend

I can't spare the

one who killed Panditji.

If I don't return...

then think

that I am with Noorie.

I failed in this world...

but in the next,

I'll take good care of our child.

Forever yours, Daanish.

Welcome. SP is expecting you.

Local police,

army and his personal security.

It's a suicide mission.

If you can't help, just say it.

I didn't say that.

I'm just giving you the facts.

You saved my life once...

I owe you.

But why all this?

I want Wazir.

And only Qureshi knows where he is.

Yazaad Qureshi is being

honoured with the Peace Award.

Qureshi has emerged

as the poster boy for peace

He has swept the polls in Kashmir.

Long live Yazaad Qureshi!

Not I, but...

my daughter

deserves this Peace Award.

My daughter Ruhi.

Pure and innocent...

like our Kashmir.

It's after ages...

Cameras on, Daanish.

Be ready.

I want the valleys

of Kashmir to bloom again.

Long live Yazaad Qureshi!

Daanish, are you ready?

And I promise...

"No harm will come to you"

"I promise"

I'll bring peace back in Kashmir.

Good to go.

On my count.

Three

Two

One

Daanish, move now!

Move!

Left. Left.

He's going up from the East Wing.

He's heading to his room.

The commandos are here.

I can't hold them up for long.

No more than 4 minutes.

Hurry up, Daanish.

Call Wazir.

Call him.

Daanish, you're mistaken.

I don't know any Wazir.

Wait.

Let's sit and talk.

Where's Wazir?

You shouldn't have killed Panditji.

You have only 30 seconds.

Let's go.

Where's Wazir?

Ruhi, go out.

Come darling...

come to dad.

Ruhi, go out.

Come here. Come to dad.

You're not my dad.

This man killed my dad.

He killed everyone.

Killed whom?

Everyone.

My mom... dad...

my entire village.

When the army arrived...

he got wounded.

His friends ran away.

He said to the army

that he's my father.

He could never be my father.

My father was a good man.

I live each day in fear.

He threatened... if I told anyone...

he'd push me

down the stairs as well.

Like he pushed Nina?

Nina Ma'am promised me...

that she wouldn't

reveal his secret.

And yet he killed her.

I'm very scared of him.

Those terrorists

still come to meet him.

According to our intel...

Rameez came to Delhi

to meet some politician.

Rameez came to meet you?

Rameez came to Delhi to meet you!

"Papa, please help me..."

Breaking news.

Yazaad Qureshi was attacked.

The Welfare Minister was shot dead.

The shocking truth is that...

Yazaad Qureshi was just a persona...

a mask donned

by a ferocious terrorist.

He wasn't my father.

I wanted to tell everyone...

but I was scared.

This play is dedicated

to Omkar Nath Dhar.

Panditji once said to me...

There's a riddle in this play.

A good chess

player can solve it.

Well, I don't play chess.

If you find the solution,

do tell me.

Presenting "The Pawn and The King"

A game is a game is a game

To play to win is a sin

Play to learn and you'll win

Your mind is your only tool

Moves that fool are the rule

A game is a game is a game

Far far away, in Chess Land...

there lived a tiny pawn.

All the chess pieces loved him.

But one day,

the evil king made him cry.

Teary-eyed,

the pawn went to his Creator

O Lord... show me the way.

How do I slay the evil king?

The Lord said, "Little pawn,

you're the heart of chess."

Make the right moves,

and you'll become...

the Wazir.

Make the right moves...

and you'll become the Wazir.

You'll become the Wazir.

Mr. Wazir!

Wazir!

Wazir!

On Lord's advice, the

pawn befriended an honest rook.

You brought my daughter home

You've become a friend.

To our friendship

The rook was a calm fellow...

but if his friend got hurt,

he'd go crazy.

When the pawn

in front of him dies...

this rook goes on a rampage.

To unleash the rook,

the pawn played his last move.

If anything happens to me,

my friend won't spare the King.

The pawn sacrificed himself...

so that the rook

would checkmate the evil King.

Now you know

the Omkar Nath Special.

In this game, you win by losing.

When Panditji was attacked...

what were you doing there?

Wait a sec.

I can't hear a thing.

Come with me.

Did you see Wazir yourself?

Yes or no?

- Yes!

He ran out that window.

I saw him myself.

What was he wearing?

Whatever Panditji said.

- What did you see?

I came home,

Panditji pointed at the window...

I saw the window moving, so...

So you saw nothing yourself!

Panditji said it, so I believed it.

Mr. Daanish, one moment.

Panditji once said to me...

Someday, Daanish will

come to you looking for Wazir.

Give him this Wazir.

This Wazir?

Panditji, you're too much.
