You might need to use it on the way.

Okay.

If I survive this. I'll surely come to visit you..

And also my mansion.

- Hello, brother. - Hello. How are you?

He is from our village. Please help him out.

- What do you want? - A license.

If you want a license then give the test and you will get it.

It is not a big deal.

I am scared of the test, brother.

You are scared? Can you even drive?

I've been driving since 10 years.

10 years without a license?

Then why do you need one now?

Do you want to become a pilot now?

You are born with a license.

You should instead issue license to others.

Ask him to open Transport office for himself.

Tell me about it.

That's the way. Don't come back.

Okay.

A beautiful bird.

These are its legs and this is its beak.

Ride it like a motorcycle, son.

Ride faster than your father does, my child.

Oh my baby.

Look.. here you go.

- What's cooking, mother? - Carrot and peas.

- Sister-in-law, you? - Carrot and peas.

When both of you cook the same thing, I don't know why you cook separately.

I have made it with gravy, son.

That's great.

What's my boy up to?

I made him a bird. Go show it to him.

You have fixed a motor on the bird?

Did you go to school?

All good, father?

Ask the one who is sulking.

Whether he is "all good" or not.

You are all good..

..that's why you aren't letting us bring this mansion down.

- Let us do it. - Do it.

Here lies my dead body.

Walk over me.

Look at that!

Whenever you start talking, he goes flat either here or there.

Father, why are you being stubborn?

Let us bring it down.

Let us build a bungalow instead.

Don't you want the boys to get married?

Build a bungalow elsewhere.

There are around 5-700,000 bricks used in this mansion.

We will be able to reuse them.

They might be just bricks for you..

..but I have a lot of memories linked with them.

We will keep the memories and use the bricks.

- I'm bringing this mansion down. - And what about my dead body?

What kind of a joke is this, grandpa?

Decide once and for all.

We'll at least enjoy the sweets distributed at your funeral.

First feed me the sweets for clerk's wedding.

You can eat my funeral's sweets after 20-25 years.

Who will eat such stale sweets?

Grandpa, why do we need to eat your funeral's sweets.

We can make you eat the sweets of Kikkar's wedding.

If you want, I can go ask for my uncle's..

..daughter hand for him tomorrow itself.

Let it be.

We have had enough of yours proposals.

I rather marry my boy in Pakistan than marry him into your family.

We get plenty good proposals for my son.

Plenty good? What does it mean?

You won't get any proposal which will match up to mine.

Match? What to you mean by match?

Your sister will get only what you got.

What will we get?

What else do you want?

I am the first one to bring an Alto car in your village.

Of what good is your Alto car?

We have only been to funerals twice.

We have never been to a wedding.

If you get even a little angry..

..you take the car keys and leave for your mother's house.

She took the boy along.

Will you be going to plough the field tomorrow?

Why should I go?

You will go.

- Or your father will. - Hear her talk!

I got married to you. I didn't find you at a temple's steps.

Everyone in this family is here to ruin me.

Now what have I done?

I got you educated and made you a clerk.

You still haven't given me a rupee from your salary.

The government doesn't pay.

I still haven't got any increment. Go and talk to the government.

But the government doesn't listen.

My own father doesn't listen to me.

Grandpa!

Grandpa..

Grandpa, we don't bring down the mansion.

Is he dead?

Grandpa!

Look at that!

Who can sleep through such commotion?

You scared us.

What is this commotion compared to what we saw in our childhood.

Now don't start talking about Lahore.

- Take me there. Take me to Lahore! - Look at that!

Father, one day I will just throw you across the border.

Father..

Come on, grandpa. I'll take you inside.

If you had come from Ganganagar..

..I would have taken you there any time you wanted.

How can I take you to Lahore? Right?

We will bring the mansion down and build a grand bungalow.

We will have air conditioners in two rooms.

- Airplane shaped tank on the roof. - Okay.

The nameplate outside will say Lahoriye Niwas.

I won't let you bring it down.

Stand still.

Look at that!

You keep cursing the government all day long..

..and you steal electricity at night.

What about how the government steals from us?

This won't hurt the government.

But you will surely get electrocuted one day.

This is what you want! You want me to get electrocuted.

Then go get electrocuted.

Electricity cannot harm someone who has a wife like you.

All good, grandpa?

Ask the one..

..who got shocked whether he is all good or not.

You are all good, father.

We lost the power of the house and yet you are fine.

Who says I am fine?

I am supposed to plough the land in the morning.

She fought with her daughter-in-law and sent him to his in-laws.

If I send him, he won't return.

Son, can you go there in the morning?

Me?

I had told you not to do it.

What's the use of renting the land across the border?

I am an educated man doing a clerk's job.

What do I know about farming?

Shall I talk to him?

Son, you will have to go there.

song

- How are you, uncle? All good? - All good.

Get my son a license.

Send him to the office at 9:15 am, I'll make it.

I'll send him at 9:00am.

What movie are you watching?

The same which I have watched 20 times.

The boy and the girl never unite.

They must be shy of you.

She isn't my daughter-in-law to feel shy of me.

song

[indistinct announcement]

I am Harbans Singh's son.

We have taken this land on rent.

You have an ID card?

Show us your ID card.

Sign here.

- Can I leave? - You have some work there?

Yes, I have to plough the land. We have to sow wheat.

- Where is the plough? - In the field.

Naseem, look over there.

Looks like you need help.

Let me teach you.

Our rupees is a rupee and a half of theirs.

And they will teach us how to plough.

Don't pay attention. Do your work.

Shall we send tea, water or food?

Come over.

We will make tea over here.

We love you.

Come over.

What are you looking at?

I saw the food so I am feeling hungry now.

You should eat before you come.

You shouldn't eye other people's meals.

You must've heard how many people die because of food?

Yes.

Sir, you thought I am looking at that girl?

Why would I look at that girl?

Why do I have need to look there?

I mean even if I am looking there..

..assume that I am not looking there.

I am looking at what you are not looking at.

Go straight home.

Okay.

It was as if everything went quiet for those few minutes.

I only remember her eyes.

There was some background music as well.

I have forgotten everything else.

I'm in love.

Forget it.

I've been falling in love at first sight every day since childhood.

This just happened.

Outside the cowshed, I saw a girl in a rickshaw..

..I left like getting married to her.

I went home.

I switched on the television.

I saw the news and I forgot everything.

One should watch news during such times.

You start worrying about the country.

- Yes, that happens. - Yes.

It happened the first time.

I'll come to your office tomorrow.

In the afternoon.

We'll go watch a movie.

At lunchtime.

Big eyes.

Like almonds.

- Hello, brother. - Hello.

How are you?

I am fine, brother. Please call Kikkar.

He didn't come today.

- He didn't come? - Yes.

He had asked me to meet me for lunch.

Then he might show up for lunch.

I have to go for a wedding after this.

That's why..

If I go back home then I'll miss the function.

I am the bride's uncle. That's why.

Please come and check.

You'll check me first or the tractor?

Look at other side as well.

Our country could face danger from elsewhere as well.

Don't worry. There are other soldiers here as well.

Sorry.

'First the terrorist attacks then violating the ceasefire..'

'..and now they have asked their army and air force to be prepared.'

'Is this a war strategy of Pakistan's Prime Minister and Army Chief?'

'Is Pakistan preparing to go on war with India?'

'Or India's strict..'

Hey!

Even such serious news didn't work on you?

Tell me something..

Why did she laugh at me?

You were there, brother. You must be knowing.

I think her eyes say something to me.

I don't understand them clearly.

But sometimes I feel as if they say, "I Do, I Do, I Do".

And sometimes I feel as if they say..

"Damn you, why did you have to be born there?"

"Couldn't you be born 2 kilometers behind?"

"We would go to school together."

I just want to ask her..

Are her eyes really talking to me or is it just an illusion?

We went through this in High school too.

Dolly Ahuja.

You felt as if her eyes are telling you..

"..I was in tears after I took the first vow of marriage."

You wanted clarification on that as well.

But you couldn't because you feared the runty madam.

I feel scared, because I am not scared this time.

Be scared.

Be scared, brother.

You know what kind of people they are.

Didn't you watch the movies?

They just pretend to do farming at the border.

If they learn that you are eyeing their daughter..

..they will ask the soldier to hand you over.

Let them do it.

I want them to do it.

[prayer]

Now see if you talk!

Where did I say anything?

Then reduce the noise of your grinder.

If you could, you wouldn't even let me sneeze.

I don't know what crime I had committed..

..that I got married into your poor family.

As if you had Almond gardens there.

Be grateful atleast we are working in Kinnow gardens.

We just work there. They aren't ours.

They belong to Mr. Chaudhary, right?

And Mr. Chaudhary is not a stranger to us.

He is just like family. Now see if you talk!

Your father is making us stay at the border.

There is no electricity or water here.

I suggest we should all go back to Lyallpur.

Mother, don't say anything against grandpa.

And it's not as if Dubai's Sheikhs have built Lyallpur.

The government is same there as well.

Life is just as difficult there.

Here Mr. Chaudhary has at least given you a house to stay in.

And you say that so proudly.

When will you make one of your own?

We'll have one of our own as well, dear.

Yes, I'm hearing that since the past 27 years.

And father, he shuts up when we talk about the house.

He hasn't replied to anything since the past 3 years.

Answer her, grandpa.

Grandpa..

Speak..

Grandpa, the whole family quetches and you should too.

Speak up.

Anything?

For my sake? Listen to me..

I won't let you anywhere before Amira's wedding.

If you really want to see grandpa watch Amira's wedding..

..then I had suggested to get her married to my uncle's son.

You won't have to spend a penny.

And he is mute.

He cannot give a verbal divorce.

My daughter is a graduate.

I won't get her married to some illiterate mute.

And let anyone dare to divorce my girl!

He isn't illiterate.

My uncle was a typist.

And then he too is a graduate.

As if you got him an officer's job.

He is gathering wood here.

She too is going to do the same.

Shut up.

I don't know whether I am talking to you or a sheep.

Both of you sound the same.

Yes. You sound just like a sheep.

I suggest we should all move to Sialkot.

- No one's going anywhere. - What are you thinking?

Brother is being stubborn unnecessarily.

We should sell the land.

Anyway, it is close to the border.

A person's life is always in danger.

But your life is in danger even while crossing the road.

By the way, people from across seem fine.

They are nice people.

They have put barbwire fearing us.

Even a God's man can be dangerous.

A flower might be surrounded with thorns

It still fears an innocent child's hands.

What do you fear?

You are a graduate.

You will get married and get out of danger.

Then the one who got married to you will be in danger.

Tell me something..

Do people there get married in the same way?

I don't know. But I am sure they don't get divorced in the same way.

But why did you ask that?

Just, for general knowledge sake.

Yes, this is the general knowledge women have to gather.

They don't want to know what the yield of wheat of that country is.

It must not be much. They are sown by useless people.

Greeting.

Today I have come from a wedding, sir.

It's a wedding season.

Have a bath and wear new clothes every day.

I am just fed up. Do farming and attend weddings.

I have also got sweets for you.

Balushahi.

Get married.

Or you will be left attending other people's wedding only.

Go and get your checking done.

Checking?

I might've come to the field for the first time but still, I am a farmer.

They want to check your documents.

They don't want to check your leg injury.

"I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you."

"Sun is hot, moon is blemished and stars are just stones.."

"I was worthless. Roaming around aimlessly."

"A sandalwood stick changed every thing."

"A sandalwood stick changed every thing."

"I write, I look and I kiss it."

"Your name has made me forget everything else."

"Your name has made me forget everything else."

License?

Tomorrow at 9.

Did they unite?

No, they didn't unite. I'll have to buy a new movie.

Forget it.

"No one just meets, it's God who unites."

"To meet and to get separated, both are in the hands of fate."

"Those who get separated in this world.."

"..who knows in which world will they unite again."

"Who knows in which world will they unite again."

"I'll follow you till the end."

"Even if my path is filled with obstacles."

Amira! Give me water please.

- Amira! - Coming!

Coming!

Come, I'll oil your hair.

No mother, not today.

You haven't washed your hair since many days.

- Sit down. - No mother, not today.

- I'll apply it on my own. - Sit down. I'll do it.

Mother! Mother!

- Wash your hair. - Don't touch my hair.

I'll apply it on my own.

Sister.

What is it?

Why is everyone following me?

Our ball is here.

It must be elsewhere. It's not here.

- Go. - But it's over there.

Is this a place to hide a ball?

I won't give you the ball. Go and study.

Aunt has gone mad.

Very good.

And you threw the letter across the border?

Talk softly.

Why did you write it in Punjabi?

I wrote it in Punjabi so that no one else can read it.

- What if she gets into trouble? - Really?

And in which Khalsa Punjab School there..

..did you see that innocent girl studying?

You don't understand.

Tell me, a young boy takes a risk..

..and throws a letter across the border to a girl..

..then it is obvious that it isn't an exam cheat sheet.

It is bound to be a love letter.

And you need to understand love and not read it.

She just needs to start understanding from the left side.

And how will that help?

It won't.

I know everything is temporary.

I just want to get a letter written in Urdu from there.

And I will start understanding it from the right side.

And in that it will be written that I got caught.

They are hitting me.

Stupid, if they would hit her, won't I feel her hurt?

Listen, oh the one born across the Ravi river..

- ..I am besotted with you. - Quiet.

- Your beautiful friend Sara.. - What are you doing?

Yes. It is your letter but I am being praised.

You are bound to feel hurt.

By the way, is it necessary to read it.

No, I'll burn it.

You can get a book of translation for 200 rupees.

I have 25 with me.

Can you arrange for 175?

Here, have some tea.

Amira had gone to wash her hair long back.

She still hasn't come out.

She was telling me..

- ..that she would make you very happy today. - Really?

She would bath for 2-3 hours today..

..and use the whole pouch of shampoo.

Amira, come out. Others want to have a bath too.

Coming, mother.

Who takes so long?

Coming.

Don't look at me stealthily.

I am something to be looked at unabashedly.

Amira!

I know nothing will happen.

But I..

I wanted to know that if I was born on that side..

..then would you have agreed to marry me?

- Amira.. - Coming.

You took so long to have a bath!

Why are you shivering?

No, mother.

Oh God, your forehead is burning.

Where's forehead?

You have fever.

If you force someone to have a bath in this cold weather..

..then that person is bound to catch fever.

Give them here. - No.

What will I do if you too catch a fever while washing the clothes?

No.

Who catches fever by washing hair?

But she has caught it. You just saw it.

Never force anyone henceforth.

Oh God, what have I done!

What happened?

I don't understand.

You cannot read it or you can read it but cannot understand it.

You shouldn't walk where there is no path.

Come here.

Look, the wind here is wonderful.

Smells of fresh Kinnow.

It has been a long time since we had sown the seeds.

I am doubtful that it will crop.

You should change the crop.

You fool, I have just sown it.

It won't give you flatbread immediately.

These things take time. Right, soldier?

You need to keep visiting to help it crop.

You need to nurture it.

Till it doesn't come home, a farmers stays restless.

It will crop. It will slowly crop.

If someone watches it crop then it will get bombed.

Not bombed, soldier. I think you mean hailed.

- His crops will get bombed. - Let's go, brother.

"When I look at you, I stop breathing."

"This is a strange way in which my breath punishes me."

Don't you think she is saying come if you can?

No.

"This is a strange way in which my breath punishes me."

"This is a strange way in which my breath punishes me."

Mother has made it, brother.

Lentils.

She says that you have rigid duty schedules.

I told her that till I am in the field you guard us tirelessly.

If I could visit, I will know for sure.

Otherwise, I can get back to my job. - Yes.

No. You cannot go there.

And you have already sown the wheat.

Now you have no work here for the next 20 days.

It is a border. This isn't your daily route.

You take salary from the government.

Go and do your job.

I'll join from tomorrow morning at nine.

If you ever want to make a license then he'll help.

He has a job?

Kikkar..

You awake already?

What is this new drama of yours?

That solider said that the wheat has been sown.

Now I cannot be there for 20 days.

These are vegetable seeds.

Now we will sow vegetables in the gaps.

With our hands.

Considering your situation, you will soon become a black marketer.

- Kikkar, aunt had gone to Lahore. - Yes.

She has brought Lahore's soil back.

- Really? - Yes.

Come along. Come on.

- I want to sow vegetables. - Come along, you can sow them later.

- Come on. - Can I too see the soil?

They are not playing a movie on VCR that you are seeking permission.

- Anyone can have a look at it. - Coming.

Listen, how do you know it's from Lahore.

Now should I check the visa of the soil?

Is aunt trustworthy?

It's not like you've seen him carrying gifts at a wedding.

You cannot distinguish between two different kinds of soil.

What is the guarantee that it from Lahore?

Grandpa's eyes verify that.

Let me see the soil.

I don't know where it is now.

People must have taken a little each to their house.

But..

Shall I get the soil from Lahore for you?

You have to get it from Lahore and not Ganganagar.

Aunt too managed to get it.

It's not like she has directly connections with Nawaz Sharif.

Nowadays people keep visiting.

You just give me the address of the village you resided in?

I'll go and get it.

I'll write it down.

I don't know whether the house is still standing there or not.

That house that what build by our ancestors over a century.

And one order by the government made us homeless.

I have a memento buried under the ground there.

A playing stick and a few marbles.

Just get them back.

On your way back, also get 5-7 kites for your grandpa.

Don't get the ones with Chinese thread they tend to nick the fingers.

And also get a small tractor.

He has just come to the age when he can play.

Mother!

She is stonehearted.

I can understand your feelings, grandpa.

Grandpa, you must be wondering why are you still here..

..just take your passport and leave.

Don't ruin your passport.

Once you a visa stamp from there..

..you will never able to get American or Canadian visa.

And why do I have to go there?

I am an educated clerk.

I have a government job.

Once I go abroad, I'll keep yearning to come here.

Will I keep carrying the soil all my life?

- Mother, give me my passport. - Sure.

You are going there for sure?

You think I made a tattoo on the passport?

You mean you aren't going to come back?

Why?

People who go there never come back.

Oh, come on.

People influenced by Hindi movies that is not true.

Many people go there.

Businessmen go there.

Politicians go there.

Even onions and tomatoes go there.

But the tomatoes don't come back, do they?

But the ministers return, don't they?

They don't go there chasing girls.

Players go there.

- They don't go to play with their emotions? - Yes.

You won't understand guys.

- Give me. - No, no..

Look, we mean, aren't you scared at all?

I feel scared.

I feel scared that she'd refuse me.

I am not scared of death.

But I think if she says yes..

..then I'll feel scared of death as well.

- I'm leaving. - Hey, listen..

But there is one thing.

What if I really don't return?

Then at least have a yearly cultural show in my name.

In the memory of Late Mr. Kikkar Singh, the yes or no fair.

Whether I am there or not, there will be shows in my memory.

Gurdas Mann sometimes and Manmohan waris sometimes.

There will be dances.

I'll make people happy somehow.

Hello.

Who are you? You made me greet in Punjabi!

I have come from across the border on a tour.

Oh, then you are our guest.

Tell me sir, what would you like to eat?

What would you like to drink? How do I help you?

- Do you need slippers or something? - No, I am in a hurry.

I can get them made in a hurry as well.

- Which way is the border? - Border? It's close.

- Come, I'll take you to the border. - But your shop?

It's not mine. I am just standing here.

Come with me.

- What happened? - I'll get slippers..

- Hey, what are you doing here? - Hello.

You keep standing at other people's shop. Run away.

Useless chap.

Hello. Greetings.

Remember me, across the border..

I work on the fields. You had invited me for tea.

And here I am.

I knew you would come. But not for me.

- But to get a reply for the letter. - You are misunderstanding it, brother.

I.. My grandpa left this place in 1947.

I have come here to take some soil for him.

That soil belongs to us..

The reason why you are here. And they stay in my house.

Their honor is our honor.

Shall I get you arrested by the soldier?

Do you have a misunderstanding about me? I am here for the soil.

Really? Who will explain it to the eyes?

You should look at the border and not across it.

A person who sometimes comes to take the soil becomes one with the soil.

Go back.

I'll get going, but don't misunderstand me.

I am an educated man.

I am a clerk.

If you still think otherwise then do as you please.

Later do ask the solider whether or not my friends had a fair in my memory.

And tell them that I wasn't scared of death.

Will you tell them?

Really?

Let's go.

No. Not good enough.

- Go and get ready properly. - Why?

You know that joker from that side?

The one who greets with one eye?

He has come over for sister's henna ceremony.

Oh really! He came here and the soldier didn't shoot him!

- Let's go. - I swear on God.

He has got a visa.

He was roaming around with Naseem.

Okay, so you don't believe me.

Fine, I'll click a selfie with him and send it to you..

..that too from Naseem's phone.

I'll be right back.

Hey, you were looking good.

Now don't end up dressing like a joker.

"I don't care.."

"God blesses you with beauty."

"People follow you around."

"God blesses you with beauty."

"People follow you around."

Listen.. - Yes.

Be grateful that I saw you throwing the letter.

If anyone hears the reply of that letter then you'll soon be dust.

Then I too will have to support them.

Then I'll also beat you little.

Once she says no..

Then there is nothing to worry about.

Hello.

Did you recognize me?

I used to look at you from across the border.

A small child has peed on you.

I have never been to the border.

I perhaps wouldn't have recognized you if you had covered your eyes.

I only know your eyes well.

I know their shape.

They are well educated.

I am sure you scored 70% in the last exams.

- I failed. - What?

- I failed. - Oh, so sad.

"I look down and think.."

"I stop my soaring heart."

"I stop my soaring heart."

"Your queen, oh my king. Your queen.."

But listen to me..

"Your queen, oh my king." - Hey!

Don't worry. I leave soon.

Just answer my question.

I promise that I'll leave before the song ends.

When I was saw you first time..

Wait..

I am not a bad person.

I swear on God.

I request women a lot.

I have no bad intentions in my mind.

Please don't make any noise.

From the time I have seen you..

..I started wearing good clothes to the field.

I don't know what happened to me.

I go to office in normal clothes.

I wash my face before I go to sleep.

I sleep at night and when I wake up thinking it is morning.

But it isn't. It is still night.

I don't know why am I so eager to wake up.

All I want to know from you that has your life also become so discombobulating?

Have you felt angry over what happened in 1947?

Wait..

Have you ever burnt a flatbread while thinking about me?

Why?

I don't know why? Even my friends keep asking me.

I don't know but I feel as if when I'll grow old..

..and I'll do farming on the other side..

..I used to not think that I girl from that side used to look at me..

..and I couldn't do anything about it.

I want my old age to be good.

It is possible that like how you felt..

..that I look at you, all the boys in the locality think the same.

It is possible that my eyes are defamed.

It is possible that my father feels embarrassed because of me.

It is possible that my friend can't get married because of me..

Because she is my friend.

And then which decent girl talks to a stranger for so long?

Yes or no.

One minute sister..

Song is about to finish, I'll be leaving soon.

Just tell me, I won't even look backwards.

I will never come in front of you again.

I will never come to the border as well.

We will have nothing to do across the barbwires.

- Promise? - Yes.

Then go.

It is possible that I might have burnt the flatbread once or twice.

The song is about to end.

Amira..

Shall I ask aunt to sing a sad song?

This isn't holy tree?

You were going back.

I didn't know that there could be something worse than maybe..

A yes.. can make a person miss his bus.

Thank God my visa is valid for another two days, otherwise..

Now what?

I don't know.

I just think that..

..when I'll grow old and I'll do farming on the other side..

..I shouldn't feel that a girl from the other side liked me..

..but I couldn't do anything about it.

Your old age will get us killed one day.

We will go into grave early.

Just make sure they are next to each other.

What did you like in me?

I don't know but when I used to see you from a distance..

..you used to keep quiet but your eyes used to talk to me.

I liked your silence.

I talk a lot.

I can hear you talk 24/7.

- Say something. - What?

Anything.

What did you like in me?

Not you clothes at least.

I saw you laugh a couple of times.

I like it..

Anyway, girls like boys who laugh.

If you laugh, I can see you laugh 24/7.

Enough, who look at anyone like this?

You really aren't seeing anyone locally, are you?

No.

I too want to see you both grow old and laugh together on the other side.

Don't mention this to anyone.

That you like each other.

I'll talk to her family.

- You have a permanent job, right? - Yes.

Will it do if you cannot return home?

Means?

Solo grave?

Here son, eat this. I have cooked a domestic chicken for you.

- Eat it, son. Don't feel shy. - Come on, eat.

We are poor people, but I have a generous heart.

We will next offer you tea with cream biscuits.

Father..

We work on the fields close to the border.

When we see your men working there, we feel like eating lunch together.

You get the pickles..

..we get the onions, we'd smash them and eat them together.

We are the same.

It is the government which has caused the divide.

Uncle, what are you telling him?

He is a very nice man.

He loves us a lot.

He watches our shows. He listens to Nusrat Sahib.

He is from a good family. He has a nice job.

- What is your salary? - 45000.

- That's 55000 for us. - 55?

Yes.

- We have 5 acres of land as well. - Okay.

If you had been born here..

..I would've gotten you married to Amira for sure.

Who is Amira?

"This Punjab is also mine."

"That Punjab is also mine."

Aunt, give me some milk. The boy is going to sleep. Give it to me.

Look father, brother will once again talk about getting me married.

Hey!

Are you talking about that boy?

I was just kidding.

That won't come through.

You'll end up marrying her uncle's son.

Instead of getting her married to her uncle's son, I'll keep her home.

She will give tuitions and run the house.

Aunt, it is not good to be so greedy.

"This Punjab is also mine."

"That Punjab is also mine."

Naseem..

You are already awake?

Sit down, aunt.

What do I tell you? I couldn't sleep the whole night.

What happened?

I kept thinking that he is not bad boy.

But he is from another country.

Country is not an issue.

- My aunt's daughter who got married at Malarkot.. - Yes.

..she is leading a good life over there.

- But we cannot do it. - Yes, religion is an issue.

I'll get going.

But yes, don't get her married to her uncle's son, okay?

Amira's father..

I wanted to say something..

If we get our child married with someone..

..from a different country and religion..

Then do they kill them?

No, they don't seem so cruel to kill someone.

Yes, but they might stop providing groceries, stop talking.

Talking isn't a problem.

Father hasn't spoken since the past three years.

He too manages to survive without talking.

Why are you trying to say?

Amira is an educated girl.

She should get married only to the one she consents.

Then what is wrong with my uncle's son?

Do you understand what I mean by consent?

Never with your uncle's mute son.

Naseem has also said that it won't work out.

Yes, we know.

I was just talking.

Uncle, I'll take your leave then.

My visa will expire today.

I'll have to go back.

I feel as if my vacation time is over.

Now I know why people light candles at the border.

I too will light one after I go back.

Any complains or grudges, if I have made any mistake..

If you want me to apologize for anything..

Don't embarrass us.

If we have made any mistake.

If you didn't get warm water for a bath..

If the girl served you cold tea, then..

All of you are like angels. Why would make such a mistakes?

If you want to say anything else..

- ..I'll leave in five minutes. - Yes.

I have only five minutes left.

If you have anything to tell me..

..then you can tell me, as I am your child, you have a right.

I won't say no to you.

No?

- Let's go. - Bye.

Think of me in your prayers.

You have no effect on them, brother. It seems difficult for you.

If she were my real sister then I wouldn't need their permission.

She isn't your sister?

Will we take you to court if you push her in the well?

Never say that she isn't your sister.

Father, Amira is an educated girl.

Nothing without her consent.

Brother, I am educated..

But I am a girl, right?

Now if brother Naseem pushes me into the well..

..then I won't tell him that I don't know how to swim.

- Hello, uncle. How are you? - Hello!

Amira, I have brought sweets for you from Lahore.

- Hello, father. - Hello.

- Hello, Chaudhary. - Hello.

Dad what is the status of the ticket? Will you get it?

I'll get it, I'll have to go to Lahore a couple of more times.

A few matters didn't work out.

Yes.. that's why they don't give us much respect.

For the first two days they didn't allow us to enter the party office.

I went through the backdoor to get water..

Taufiq..

- Hello. - Who is he?

Father, he is my friend. He has come from India.

- I see. - He is a very nice man.

That's my father and that's Taufiq.

I handle all his work.

Hello.

- You have come here for the first time? - Yes.

Did you like anything about our country?

Yes, I did.

Did they take good care of you? Did they miss out on anything?

Brother took good care of me.

It felt like my own house.

- Did you buy him a slipper? - They like Pakistani slippers.

Did you saw him the canons?

- Did you show him the camp, which is 2km away.. - Taufiq..

Keep visiting if you liked our country.

He will keep visiting.

Chaudhary, Naseem suggested that we get him married to Amira.

What?

You need to be thrashed with slippers.

It is fine to get a photo clicked with a person from another country.

You don't get your daughters married to them.

I went to Lahore for a few days and you took the decision?

Father, I took this decision.

I took it thinking beyond the country and the religion.

He is a nice man.

Son, this isn't a poetry session. This is life.

Here you won't get praised, you will be beaten up..

That too by him.

- Taufiq.. - Not me, he did it, the poet.

We are raising issue about water and electricity..

..the issue you will give the opposition..

..it will cause all our issues meet dust.

Whole Pakistan can lose over this issue.

They are making decisions.

Look son, I think you are from a decent family.

Forget it thinking of it as a bad dream. It cannot result in anything.

We are different. There is a huge difference between us.

You are from a different country..

..and we are from a different country.

If you say that then we too are from here.

My grandpa is from Lahore. He went there in 1947.

He still yearns for the soil of this place.

It has been 69 years and we are still known as Lahoriyes.

What difference are you talking about?

There is a lot of difference.

There is a lot of difference.

Because we have from there.

From there?

You mean from India?

Why didn't you tell us, grandpa?

I am sure you too must have buried something..

..as a kid there like my grandpa.

I will get it back for you when I come back from India.

If you want the soil of your village from there..

I am sitting on my soil.

Our village was close to the border.

There are a lot of villages close to the border now.

There might be only a few back when you came here.

What was the name of your village?

- Burjkalan. - Burjkalan?

I too am from Burjkalan.

Our house is next to the mobile tower.

Where is your house?

Not a house..

..we had a mansion. A mansion.

But there is just one mansion in our village.

We are trying to bring it down since quite some time now.

Whenever we talk about bringing it down..

..my grandpa lies on the floor like a dead body.

He says he has a lot of memories attached to it.

We have nothing to do with it.

What is your grandpa's name?

Mr. Harjara Singh.

He is still taking care of that mansion?

That mansion belongs to you?

A few people had left Lahore and came to our village.

One of the families came to mansion to stay.

There was a child in that family, Hajara.

When coming here, I told him that..

'If I survive then I will surely return one day..'

'..to visit you and my mansion.'

He kept his promise because I told him that.

The turban he gave me saved my life at a number of places.

The mansion which I had to leave due to government order.

And if my granddaughter goes back to that mansion..

..then the governments shouldn't have any problem.

What if they claim back the mansion through the girl?

We will lose 500,000 bricks.

I wonder at what inauspicious hour..

..did I ask for a Pakistani daughter-in-law.

I should have asked for something else.

I didn't know that my words would come true.

Yes, people worship your tongue. If you would have heeded my advice..

..then you wouldn't be getting a Muslim daughter-in-law.

It's not my fault.

I am not asking that.

I looked after the mansion but what about my playing stick?

I'll tell you..

But let me finish this matter first.

Hear that, he has already started talking like them.

Finish, what does this mean?

What difference the does language make?

They too use our syllables, I mean words.

They call a house a house. They address sister-in-law as sister-in-law.

- And they call bickering, bickering. - But they address God as Allah, right?

Alam Fazal, can I complete what I am saying?

They call a government job, a government job.

Then I told them, how much the whole family loves the mansion.

Our relationship got stronger.

I also told them that we own 5 acres of land.

The whole family surrounded me.

They pressurized me. They asked for my hand in marriage.

And my alliance was fixed.

I was scared.

They aren't bad people.

- They respect you a lot. - You can refuse even now.

Who trust you Lahoriyes anyway?

Is that so? Son, I will support you.

Tell me, when should we go there for the wedding?

We won't let Lahore get a bad name.

Right. We can go there whenever we want.

Look, we all had made passports when I was preparing for IELTS..

..all of us had made passports, right?

Grandpa didn't make one because he wanted to protect the mansion.

So we will apply for the visa and go there.

We will go the say she gets angry and leaves for her maternal home.

Here's are my slippers slipping out.

I want to know which family do you think is better than ours.

You two are having a different competition.

What will I tell the villagers?

That I got my son married in Pakistan?

Then tell the villagers..

..that the one who got married here is making you very happy.

- Right, mother. - Right.

It is not so easy.

Our relatives will make our life miserable.

We would have got 2-3 million if we had gotten you married here.

They don't have the tradition of giving dowry.

I am anyway against dowry.

I had even written 3-4 poetries on dowry in college.

I wouldn't have taken any dowry even if I would have gotten married here.

I would have got it here somehow.

Son, you make preparations before she gets someone else.

- Chapter close. - How can it end?

First convince your uncle.

The one everyone listens to you.

What if uncle doesn't agree?

Kikkar, when I was standing, you were sitting.

Now that I sat down, you stood up.

Don't be so sweet with me.

Uncle, I am so worried that I have forgotten..

..when to sit and when to stand.

And what about the worry you are giving us?

I want to be a MLA here and not there.

People are already taunting that Lahore speaks through me.

If I get you married there then I will get stuck.

Everyone used to say that I used to cry as a kid..

..and no one could make me stop.

And I used to stop crying after you lifted me.

People used to say that you are my mother.

Today my mother is acting like my mother?

Then don't listen to your uncle and listen to your mother.

Let your mother become a MLA.

Can I say something, father?

What is it now?

Say something good.

Can I express my precious opinion on this topic?

Sure, go ahead.

I understand your position.

You will have to see how people will look at it.

If we go by how people will look at it..

..then the girl is from there and the boy is from here.

People would be upset if the girl was from here.

Everyone will instead feel proud..

..that we are bringing their girl here.

And the girl is going back to her mansion.

Harleen, you have a sharp brain. Even I didn't think about that.

Our family is progressing.

- You are smart. - She is not smart.

She was preparing for IELTS to go to Canada.

If she goes to Pakistan..

..forget Canada no one will even let her go to Puchomandi.

We too thought that we'd see some corner of the world with our kids.

- But no. - Don't worry about the corners, father.

I plan to show you the whole world.

Then start with the neighboring country.

Let the passport, uncle.

If I start crying now, even you won't be able to make me stop.

Brother, life is beautiful.

- How are you? - Yes. How are you doing?

I am doing fine.

- Tell me how's everything. - Well..

Wow, nice! You want to reach before the bike arrives.

- What is it? You look very happy. - Guess what? We got the visas.

- We are going there for the wedding. - At least give me enough time to guess.

We don't have the time. We have to go there for the wedding.

I hope they don't want to kill us.

You never say good things. What is the worst that can happen?

They will have a fair in our memory, right?

- Kikkar Singh and family memorial fair. - No.

There will be shows. There will be dance.

We will be spreading happiness.

- Don't do that. Please, don't do it. - Come on. No..

Come on.

Increase the volume.

- "If the partition hadn't been approved in 1947.." - Don't do that.

"I would've brought a daughter-in-law for my mother from Lahore."

"The one who walks around in jeans.."

"Why would we go after them?"

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

"Why would we ever visit Chandigarh?"

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

"Why would we ever visit Chandigarh?"

"When we would go visit the Lahore market.."

"People would watch a beautiful girl with a Sardar."

"When we would go visit the Lahore market.."

"People would watch a beautiful girl with a Sardar."

"I too would wear Patiala Shahi style turban."

"She would set the layers for me."

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

"Why would we ever visit Chandigarh?"

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

"Why would we ever visit Chandigarh?"

"Our Bullet bikes would go east from Amritsar."

"Birds would soar into the sky with joy."

"Birds would soar.."

"Birds would soar.."

"Our Bullet bikes would go east from Amritsar."

"Birds would soar into the sky with joy."

Her plaits would sway for me, and my stick would wear a memento of her love."

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

Zorawar Singh Lahoriya.

"If we could go to Lahore to get married.."

"Why would we ever visit Chandigarh?"

What is your name?

Why do you need our names, son?

Well, I need to give them to the headman.

- Mrs. Tejprakash Kaur. - Okay.

- Yours? - I'm Mrs. Gaganpreet Kaur.

- Sandeep Kaur. - Okay. And you?

Welcome. Welcome.

- Aunt, she is Mrs.. - Tejprakash Kaur.

- Yes. Yes. - I am Mrs. Jameela. Hello.

- Aunt, they are your.. - Hello.

- Lord Almighty. Lord Almighty. - Amira..

I am so happy. I am so pleased.

Amira is so beautiful.

Your name..

Son, you don't ask the names of unmarried girls.

- Naseem.. - Okay.

So all the ladies get together and start your thing.

- Welcome. Welcome. - Come with us, please.

Welcome.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Come with us.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

I had seen her only once, now people come to see me.

You have taken the land on rent but I have never seen you work.

How will I work? My wife keeps fighting.

She keeps going to her maternal home with the child.

You too have the same problem after marriage?

Right.

I have concluded is that the only thing you gain for a marriage are children.

He is my only gain as well.

Son, tell them what you have learnt.

[Alphabets in URDU]

Come on, you also tell them.

[Alphabets in PUNJABI]

I don't know all the alphabets in Punjabi, but I know ABC..

- I can recite that. - Even I remember English Alphabets.

This is what the English have done.

They divided us but made English the common factor.

Sister-in-law, you are as beautiful as the girls in your dramas.

Please say Salaam.

Salaam walekum.

Oh! Salaam!

Sister-in-law, my brother is also very handsome isn't he?

Really? Then shoul I ask him to say Satshree Akal?

My dear sister-in-law, please move towards the window.

My brother wants to have a look at you independently.

Who fell in love first?

- Brother.. -Yes.

Love is a very strange thing, isn't it?

You cannot see anything else.

You cannot.

But it can happen to anyone, right?

You don't get a choice.

No, you don't have.

You don't choose love, love chooses you.

You must have heard these things in poetries and stories.

You will release when you actually fall in love.

Shall we leave from here?

Let's go.

Brother, you need support to make love reach its destination.

Help? Assistance?

Tell me when you fall in love. I will support you?

You promise?

I promise.

Just let my love story get its happy ending.

There shouldn't be any problem in that.

I will support you with that. Be rest assured.

Brother, keep your family in control.

When they came, they had a little attitude.

They tend to have an attitude, as they are groom's family.

- It's okay. I'll manage them. - Be careful.

Isn't this place a little boring?

- Yes. - Let's go someplace else.

Yes, let's go.

- Okay. - Lock up the place now.

- It's getting late. - Give me.

You people are not financially stable.

My son is doing a good deed by getting married to your girl.

No sister, don't say that.

You are still living in the mansion built by us.

True.

But we have wanted to bring it down from quite some time.

I agreed to keep us Lahoriyes' word.

We are poor, but we Firozpuris are well respected over here.

But how does one earn respect?

- Mother, sister-in-law is.. - Yes, son.

Okay, I'll tell you later.

What happened?

You don't get along with your daughter-in-law?

Who says? We get along. She is nice. She is good.

She has come from God's abode.

But she doesn't listen many at times.

She has come from God's abode, right? She doesn't listen just like God.

Our daughter-in-law is also the same.

She has come from Allah's abode.

- She doesn't talk at all. - Okay.

She doesn't answer back.

My daughter-in-law sometimes just crosses the limit.

Sometimes I feel increasing the engine's noise and pull her plaits.

What are you saying, sister?

I too feel like doing the same.

But what can I say, we don't have engine at home.

But she does have plaits, right? Hold her plaits some day.

How is Kikkar's mother?

She is nice.

You will know better once you come over.

As I kid when I used to sit for prayers.

All the holy smoke used to get directed towards me.

I knew my mother would love me.

By the way, my mother is also very nice.

You can ask sister-in-law.

I will be right back.

Everyone is fine, but how is your dear mother-in-law.

Sister, who addresses mother-in-law such affectionately?

True.

I have watched your dramas. Mother, aunt, sister-in-law..

But I have never heard affection towards mother-in-law.

Someone smart must have taken this decision.

Who should be addressed with affection and who shouldn't be.

Do you people address with affection?

Don't we have any sense?

Okay.

- Mothers-in-law are bad there as well? - Don't ask, sister-in-law.

There is no use of getting your son married.

Father..

Kikkar Singh, no ring or anything.

Think over it, there is still some time.

Forget that. Did you watch the news? The government..

Damn them. What did they do now?

They are just.. they don't let the poor people survive.

You should have asked what the government has done.

They must have not done anything good.

They must have increased the bus fares or started toll taxes on tractors.

Whatever it is..

Their aim is to empty our pockets. What else would they want!

Does bus fair hikes in your country too?

Yes, you need to spend around Rs. 500 if you have to go 100 kilometers.

Then the poor suffer in both the countries.

People ask what is common in both the countries..

The government is common.

They are the same here as well as there.

Idiots have gotten together.

"Don't hide your face.."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Borrowing color from peacocks.."

"Borrowing shyness from angels.."

"Borrowing color from peacocks.."

"Borrowing shyness from angels.."

"Borrow the sway from flowers.."

"She refuses to acknowledge me."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Don't hide your face, my love."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Don't hide your face.."

"Don't hide your face.."

"Sometimes you look down and pass by."

"Sometimes you shy away."

"Sometimes you look down and pass by."

"Sometimes you shy away."

"You have a lot of attitude."

"You ask everything through your eyes."

"Now let the poetry flow."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Don't hide your face, my love."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"I have lost everything in love."

"I have given my heart to you."

"In my wish-list.."

"I have filled only your name."

"You know everything."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Don't hide your face, my love."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

"Let the moon keep shinning."

You don't get much by being a headman.

What is that scene with your MLAs?

What do you ask me?

Our MLAs are in worst condition that your headmen.

You are indeed in a bad state.

I have spoken to Chaudhary Ashwaq's PA.

- We have full chances of getting the ticket. - Really?

Yes, They just said that people are getting the wrong message.

We will have to stop this wedding.

Who is he to stop the wedding?

Look sir..

When an assembly member like me gets someone poor married..

..with someone who isn't from the same religion or country..

..then how could the government tolerate it?

I got a call from Lahore to call off the wedding..

..otherwise I won't be getting the ticket.

You should have told that beforehand, Mr. Chaudhary.

Now if the wedding doesn't take place, I will lose my ticket.

By the way, the deed that you are doing..

Of getting this girl married..

It is a very good deed.

You will surely get a ticket.

And you will also become an MLA.

You will become a MLA here. I'll become a MLA there.

We will do a business together.

- What if we don't get a ticket? - So what?

Our villagers are close to the border.

We will take a few things and send a few things.

We will surely do business together.

Amazing. This is what our elders did.

They have. Yes, they have.

Forget it.

Don't talk too much about mother-in-law.

I've heard that talking about them makes them live longer.

Yes, talking about them as given us a headache.

- Yes. - And what harm happened to them?

- Right. - Yes.

- Go to sleep. - Go to sleep.

Oh God. May my mother-in-law never be happy.

- Sister.. - This is how they are!

No, no. How is Amira?

She is good.

You should think that you have done yourself..

..a favor by having a second son.

- Lord Almighty. - Lord have mercy.

Go to sleep, Mr. Chaudhary.

Everyone has gone to sleep taking Waheguru or Allah's name.

The whole world is asleep.

I don't know what I should do, Taufiq.

Break the wedding, end the matter.

The whole world is asleep.

We are the only fools staying awake.

They have come here from Lyallpur.

How can I say anything. He was my father's friend.

Your room?

Yes.

That's why it's so cute.

Can we take this room as dowry?

No.

Someone has said right..

When a politician has a death wish, he talks about peace.

Does anyone know any songs?

- I know one. - Really?

- Come on, sing.. - Sing for us.

Yes, go ahead.

- "I have fallen for you, my love." - Wow!

- Wow! - She sings nice.

- "I have fallen for you, my love." - Only you can find a solution.

"I have taken out my hand out of the palanquin."

- "Your mother.." - Oh Basheer Baddar..

..what brotherly duties are you fulfilling now?

What kind of a tuition are you giving them?

Brother-in-law, come along!

If you ever look that why then..

I cannot tell you that I'll get you married.

And you?

Father is having fits and there isn't anyone who can make him smell sandals.

He is getting fits since the past three weeks..

..why don't you get him some medicine?

"I have fallen for you, my love!"

Look..

I brought you to my office.

You are sitting on my chair.

I have a request.

If we can call off this wedding then..

I won't let you call off this wedding.

Mr. Khan, I have already told you..

..that it's not a big deal if you don't become a MLA.

Our villages are close to the border.

We will take a few things and send a few things.

We will surely do business together.

Taufiq, get the car ready.

"I keep the lights on."

"I keep the lights on."

Can you switch off the light for a while I need to talk to her.

Go ahead.

She is my sister. I need to talk to her in private.

Do you have to be everywhere?

You are always there when I am talking to someone.

That day on the stairs too.

After we have spoken, I'll tell you what we spoke about.

Alright

You'll tell me, won't you?

Let's go.

How are you? Are you having fun here?

Yes, I am having a lot of fun here.

- You are having a lot of fun? - Yes.

They are just like us.

Yes, they are just like us.

You don't realise until they don't greet you with Salaam.

But now i am bored here.

You are right..

..both the Punjabs are the same.

But only to a certain extend.

They are sometimes same and sometimes different.

Like Samjhota Express..

It sometimes runs between two countries and sometimes it doesn't.

We have told uncle that..

We are going to take a girl from here.

Right?

Life is beautiful. We are taking your sister-in-law.

We had also said that you'd go to Canada.

You'd take uncle across the world.

Then you'd find a boy there, do you have something else in mind?

Look uncle has brought you up with a lot of love all this years.

It doesn't mean that when a person comes and talks to you..

..he pampers you, recites poetry..

..and you forget your father's love.

It is not right, isn't it?

Both Punjabs might be similar but we all live accordingly, right?

So how are you? We have only one day left.

We will get married tomorrow.

Why are you crying?

Hey, I will keep you very happy.

Okay?

I won't let you face any difficulties.

You will like it so much that you'll forget your country.

My father raised and played with me for 23 years.

A few moments of joy with you aren't enough for me to forget my country.

She is my younger sister.

I was just reasoning it out with her.

You cannot understand. You aren't a brother to someone, right?

If you are a brother and if you have a sister then you will know..

..that you have to keep reasoning with your younger sisters.

Why are you removing your bangles?

You wanted this room as dowry, right?

You have no right over even single brick in this room.

Don't ever come here again.

What did I do wrong?

This is the problem with you girls.

You make mountain out of molehills.

I was just..

Okay, both the Punjabs are the same.

Samjhota express runs throughout the year.

There is no problem. Both the Punjabs are the same.

Our families have got together.

We are sending across of message of peace to the world.

- You aren't concerned about the world peace. - We aren't getting married.

Fine, I'll go and make an excuse. I'll call off the wedding.

Will you be happy then?

Amen.

Amen.

Amira come to apply mehndi.

"Everything seems lost. My heart pours down through my eyes."

"Everything seems lost. My heart pours down through my eyes."

"All the colors have faded. The world seems barren."

"When you are in front of me, I feel alive."

"When you are in front of me, I feel alive."

"I always seek your eyes, I don't know whether you know that."

"This old disease will go away only with death, my love."

"This old disease, my love."

"It is not right to be so ruthless. I have surrendered my life to you."

"When you are in front of me, I feel alive."

"When you are in front of me, I feel alive."

"When you are in front of me, I feel alive."

Don't call it off.

You two are bringing a lot of things together.

We know what division results in.

You don't gain anything.

We have instead only lost a lot.

You too should follow your father's footstep, son.

Fulfill your promise.

Okay, I will become like my grandfather.

But tell her to stay strong like the mansion.

The fights will keep happening.

She should know that it'd be like two neighboring countries..

..will be staying in the same house.

Okay.

And tell him not to underestimate this country.

If there is a problem in future..

..he'll be the one lighting candles at the border.

I'll light the candles.

But tell her to stay away from needles.

She doesn't know how to use them, and I won't let her use them either.

If my shirt's button falls off, I'll have someone else fix it.

What?

I'll wear round necked t-shirts.

I have lit my first candle.

Now it's her call whether she wants to extinguish it or keep it burning.

Henna takes beautiful color in your palms.

I cannot say about mother-in-law's love.

Smile, please.

I won't get marry if you don't.

I am a brother. It happens.

You are not someone's brother.

So you won't understand.

Come on, give me a smile. Or shall I take the food away?

Eat it.

"The peacocks are dancing."

"Father cries."

"Why do you cry, oh father."

"Daughters always have to go away."

Aunt, I had just come to say that it's too late, you should go to sleep.

Come on, you too sing a little.

Come on now, I won't look good singing female songs.

"The peacocks are dancing."

"Oh the father cries."

"Oh the father cries."

Do they sing these songs there as well?

Yes, these songs are the same.

- Hello? - Yes, stop the wedding.

Mr. Chaudhary is entertaining his guests. Don't you have a family?

"Daughters have only one request."

The old ladies are singing. I'll kill a few of them.

"Don't get us married far away."

"Have only one request."

"Don't get us married far away."

"If we get married far away, we won't be able to meet."

"What mistake did we make, father do tell us."

Aunt, these songs..

"After tomorrow, oh father, we don't know when we will meet next."

There is still time.

If there is something, you want to tell me then say it.

No father, there is nothing of that sort.

You don't need to feel scared.

I am friends with her father.

I can talk to him.

No, father.

Okay then.

It's nothing of that sort.

But if you want to take your friendship further then it's up to you.

Okay then, I'll do something for my friendship.

Okay, father.

He is doing a duty of being a brother for the first time.

Villages are close to the border.

We will take a few things and send a few things.

We will do business together.

Right, Mr. Chaudhary?

But I didn't say that I'd leave a girl and take a girl.

This is not business.

And there are no relationships in business.

Doing only business is fine.

I am doing this for their happiness's sake.

We are Lahores.

We might or not understand whether a person is smart.

But we can read a clever person's eyes.

You want to become a MLA.

You want respect.

Kikkar!

Bansi! Get your things together, we are leaving.

And don't leave behind any woman's any veil or anything.

No one will be coming back here.

Nor will anyone be going there.

She will keep cursing all her life.

"I forgot my veil there. I forgot Bholu's knickers there."

What happened, uncle?

What will happen? They are asking for Harleen's hand in marriage.

We are getting Amira married as well, right?

Yes. Mr. Chaudhary has spent 1.2 million on this.

You willing spent 1.2 on this.

How are we concerned with it?

Sir, my son likes your daughter.

And our children's desire is greater than money and jobs.

It is close to God.

Father, they too like each other.

What do you mean?

Well, I forgot to tell you.

How can you forget such things?

This is the first thing people say.

I have no dear one in this house.

Go, help them catch the last bus to Lahore. These great Lahores.

Otherwise, we will have to tolerate them for another night.

Go.

The wedding has been called off. Go away. Come on.

Wait a minute, uncle.

You are absolutely right. There is something I don't understand.

From the very first day, I knew that it won't work.

But still, everything kept on falling into place.

I thought this was the turn of the century or something.

While getting ready inside, I just pinched myself.

I couldn't believe whether it is true or just a dream.

Thank you.

For turning this reality into a dream.

Thank you for all the arrangements.

If we have made any mistakes..

Why would I apologize to you?

I'll go and apologize to the one whose life I am ruining.

Sorry, Amira. You were completing your graduation.

You would find a suitable groom..

But it is not just my fault, it is my family's fault as well.

They took fields on rent across the border.

Why did they have to take fields on rent across the border?

Was it just because it was cheaper by 2,000?

So much has happened because of that 2000 you wanted to save.

And it is also my mother's fault.

She deceitfully sent me to do farming across the border.

Now they are standing together.

It is perhaps not their faults as well.

It is our elders and leaders fault too..

..they listened to the Britishers and agreed to this division.

If you had agreed to division then you should've divided everything.

You should've divided the culture, the language..

..so that we couldn't even understand each other.

You should have told us not to call flatbread as flatbread.

Not to call a stomach, a stomach. Not to call hunger as hunger.

Not to call bickering as bickering.

We have had enough of this bickering.

Let's go.

There is only one things bad happening here which I fear the most.

My old age will be difficult.

No problem.

Like my grandfather stays there and yearns for the soil of this place.

Your grandfather stays here and yearns for his mansion.

I too shall yearn for you.

You have always divided everything.

Have you ever brought Together anything?

Get your bags, everyone.

"So what if our paths separated?"

"So what if all the dreams got shattered."

"Once entangled in love, it cannot be easily detangled."

"A heart never forgets the path to another heart."

"A heart never forgets the path to another heart."

Jaggeya, I don't think they will ever meet.

They won't.

Order me, uncle.

It's not an order. It's a request.

I don't trust my life anymore.

I want to take one happy breath before I die.

Get Amira married to Kikkar Singh.

Very good.

For the sake of one happy breath..

..you want to ruin our happiness before you die?

I became an assembly member because Amira's wedding was called off.

Now you want me to go against the government?

All my life, I kept walking on the paths..

..of that mansion in my dreams.

I want to go there now.

Through Amira.

This is a limit.

Mansion! Mansion! Mansion!

What treasure is buried in that mansion..

..which Amira will go and unbury it?

Uncle, think about the path that lies ahead..

Forget the path that leads there.

I cannot forget.

If you leave me on the entrance of the village blindfolded..

..then too I can find my mansion without any fumbles.

Really?

If that happens, I will get Amira married to Kikkar Singh.

What are you saying?

What if he manages to do that?

How is that possible, Taufiq?

How many years has he been staying here for?

He still forgets the way to the bathroom.

He was last there 69 years ago.

How can he possibly reach there?

Okay uncle, shall I get the visa then?

"The maps to our village are engraved on our feet."

"The peepal tree's shadow, the festivals and fairs, broken bangles lie around."

"I'll put this soil on my forehead.."

"..and unburden myself."

"Man made of soil, cries out for his soil.."

"He has lost his home."

"Offer wheat to the birds.."

"..and fly back just once."

"Man made of soil, cries out for his soil.."

"He has lost his home."

Amira, when your mother comes from Lahore..

..ask her to get 2 Jumpers for me.

Hey come on, sister.. Why just two and not many?

No one listens to me.

Ask your mother to send something for me as well if possible.

Yes, sure. Shall she get a scheme for food?

Oh my, she has such a sharp mouth.

Everyone would have been good if you were good.

Amira, darling please.

She is our mother.

Don't behave like that with her.

You have started doing this quite often now.

I have returned from work, all tired.

No soup, no black tea, no hugs.

If you behave like this mother again..

..then I will cancel our movie plans for Sunday.

Okay, fine. I won't fight with her anymore.

You didn't leave?

You should leave, why would I leave?

This is my mansion.

My grandfather gave it as dowry that too back in 1947.

Amira, should I go and play cricket on Sunday, movie plan cancelled?

Okay, I apologize. I won't fight anymore.

I am so happy. My baby!
