[MOANING]

[GASPS]

Come here.

- Firdous! - Yes.

Serve breakfast quickly.

I want to meet Patwari. I am planning to make the grocery card.

He is not available later.

Look after Zumera. I'll serve the breakfast.

Yes. I will look after her.

Zumera. Zumera Fatima.

Zumera Fatima!

Your grandpa is here.

He's here. Greetings!

Greetings to you!

Grandpa. Go to grandpa.

You didn't come to the mosque.

I prayed at home today.

I want to meet Patwari. Make the grocery card.

I thought of praying at home.

- Grocery card. - Yes.

Then add her name too.

- It must be added. - Alright.

Zumera Fatima.

- Cover your head. - Take her.

Take Fatima. Go.

Fatima!

Thank God!

Thank God!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Dad! Let's think over again. Zumera Fatima is a difficult name.

We'll keep an easy name for her.

What?

MALE: Pinky. Dolly.

The spiritual leader gave this name. A flower from heaven.

MALE: Zumera Fatima. Got it.

Quick. How long will you take?

It takes an hour for everything.

I don't know about you. Quick. Be seated.

Where are you going?

Going to the hospital for a check-up.

She's fine. What's wrong with her?

Women have some illness. How do I explain to you?

Wait. Give me the child.

Cover your head.

I need to tell her often.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

- Thank you. - If I ask...

What are you looking at?

Come along.

[HORN HONKS]

What is wrong?

What is wrong?

Firdous, what is it?

Everyone has a TV at home.

Can't we own a TV?

TV?

How did you think of a TV?

Are you mad?

Let it be.

You won't understand.

You are mad. How could you think of TV?

You are insane.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CROWING]

What is wrong?

Why can't we have a TV?

Can't you agree to this?

My dad won't like it.

Everyone has a TV here.

What is wrong in that?

Prepare tea. I'll speak to dad.

Really?

I hope dad agrees.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Dad! I want to speak to you.

Yes.

Everyone here has a TV. Except us.

Shall we purchase a TV?

Henpecked husband.

You know I am a member of the Masjid committee.

You want to bring the Devil home.

Firdous said...

...our neighbour Shabir bought a TV.

He has put up an antenna.

Shut up. He taught humans and spirits too.

Your grandma didn't look out of the window all her life.

Once a fire broke out in the village.

She looked out of the window. I bashed her face with a stone.

You want us to unmask women.

Stupid. You got a mobile phone.

Now you want to bring this disaster. Get up!

Get water for the buffaloes.

[EXHALES]

I was scolded because of you. TV all the time.

She is pestering me for TV.

Give me the bucket.

I have to get water from the well.

You work and get scolded too.

What are you doing?

I am stitching your shirt.

[EXHALES]

What happened? Are you tired?

Yes. I am tired.

You work the whole day.

Look at your state.

Apply shampoo to your hair. And some cream on your face.

What are you doing? The neighbours may see us.

What will they see? I am your wife.

Look in my eyes.

What is wrong with your eyes?

It's alright. Why did you apply kohl?

Your hair is unveiled. The Maulvi will be visiting us.

[BABY CRYING]

Get up. The baby is crying.

No. No.

Come to dad.

Dad got eggs. Do you want to eat chicken?

Do I get something for you from the market?

Where are you going so early in the morning?

You look handsome.

Move aside. I'm getting late.

The Maulvi is also not here.

Neither the neighbours.

Look at me!

We are married for 4 years now.

You are still a child. There's time for everything.

Move aside.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Where is my bag?

[COW MOO]

- Shahid. - Yes.

- Is it heavy? - No.

Hamid is out. Or I wouldn't ask you to help.

You are my disciple.

You can do it.

Come in.

Come on.

Keep it there.

[EXHALES]

Sit down.

Why don't you marry?

I will once I find a good wife.

You are of marriageable age.

If you wait for long it is a sin.

Do one thing.

Open up the buffaloes and get some water to drink.

Maulvi, I'll prepare tea for you.

I prepare good tea.

You are talking like a woman.

It is a job of a woman.

Be a man.

It is not about man or woman. I really prepare good tea.

I vow on God.

Trust me. I'll get tea in a jiffy. Is sister-in-law inside?

Check out.

Sister-in-law.

I wanted some sugar.

I want tea leaves.

Where is this boy? Did he prepare tea?

He left.

Left?

He was naughty since his childhood.

He ran away from religious school.

He's still the same.

Let him come again.

I will make him yield like a bull.

O God!

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Quick. Bring it here.

Take the child.

[BABY CRYING]

I'll do all the work. You just watch.

Clean up the child too.

Is this tea?

There's no sugar in it.

Come here.

[CROW CAWING]

Listen, I am Shahid speaking.

FIRDOUS: : Don't call me up again.

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

What is it?

Don't you understand?

Why do you call up often?

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello!

I want to speak to you.

Can we meet?

Yes.

You must be thinking why I called you here?

I called you to tell you about the activity you did...

...how bad it was.

You are my husband's friend.

Aren't you?

And my father-in-law's follower.

Firdous, is the tea ready?

FIRDOUS: I am preparing it.

- Shahid. - How are you?

Why are you looking around like a thief?

I'll call you later.

I am going for a wedding.

It's Sadik Khan's son's wedding.

I was going there. Tariq is getting married.

There's time for the wedding procession to come.

- Come over. - Alright.

[EXHALES]

Come on.

How are you?

I am good.

What else?

I was feeding the buffaloes.

What else to do?

Firdous, get two cups of tea.

Shahid from Punjab is here.

FIRDOUS: I'm getting it.

Where is your dad?

He is going to attend the wedding. The wedding can't take place without him.

[CHUCKLES]

- He's not at home. - No.

I will smoke a cigarette quickly.

You can't leave this habit.

Habits can't be overcome.

You were beaten by dad many times as a child.

[CHUCKLES]

Bring tea quickly.

Greetings sister-in-law.

The tea is well prepared.

- Good tea. - You are going to Punjab?

I am going to Punjab.

Actually I have a contract there.

I want people to work.

Come with me. I will make you the manager.

I want to come too. I want to free myself from these buffaloes.

Then come along. I'll leave you to work.

I will come to the village.

I have other work to do.

I have no time.

I won't wait at the wedding for long.

Then I'll go to Parlegaon.

I want to find some boys there.

I will come to meet you. Bye.

You will get this here.

Come on.

Give water to the animals.

This is your luck. Contract. Money.

Give water to the animals.

[COUGHS]

Have you noticed your eyes?

They are very deep.

I feel... the forest has caught fire.

It will torch until late.

Then the fire doused.

There was no rain since ages.

Your eyes are pretty.

But very dry.

Sit down.

I like to visit you.

Keep visiting me.

I fear your dad.

No one will be at the mosque if no one feared him.

Fearing him people go to the mosque.

The whole village fears him.

Praying out of fear is no praying.

Did you hear about Mullesha?

I don't know him.

He's from Pakistan. A great saint. He has a tomb there.

He said chanting name of God they became old.

We did worship a lot but God didn't find yet.

That person finds Mullesha...

...who kills his fear.

MALE: Firdous!

I am coming.

Where are you taking me?

Come on.

- Look here. - What is it?

What do you mean? It's a vehicle.

I know. But whose is it?

I purchased it. My brother, Liyakat Ali.

He will drive. I'm taking you somewhere.

- Where? - Sit down.

I'll tell you. Have a seat.

Are you free until evening?

Yes.

Then let's go.

[ENGINE REVVING]

So feel the freedom today.

Assume no one is watching you.

Do what you want to do.

I'll play a song for you.

"I can't breathe and I have no words."

"Let me live!"

"I promise my dear!"

"Let me live!"

"I ask for some life!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live these moments!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live!"

I can't breathe and I have no words.

"Let me live!"

"I promise!"

What are you doing?

"Let me live!"

Here. You will enjoy it.

Take it up.

Don't waste it.

What was it? I am feeling giddy.

Did you watch Titanic?

Titanic?

What is that?

"Forgive my soul!"

"The body will vanish!"

"If you want call it a day!"

"What can you say?"

"My request is not a crime!"

"Don't fear anything!"

Come in. What are you doing?

I won't come in.

Come in Firdous.

Firdous, you will fall.

- Whoa! - "Let me live!"

Firdous, you will fall. What are you doing?

Bus stand.

Let's go.

Firdous, come in.

I won't.

Come inside or you'll fall.

Listen, you are home. Go.

I don't want to go home, bastard.

What?

You are abusing me.

Rascal.

Bastard. Dog.

Fool.

Rascal.

Why should I go home?

I won't go.

Why should I follow others?

I won't go home.

Tippet.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Take care.

Don't do anything that will make others doubt.

Okay?

"I can't breathe and I have no words."

"Let me live!"

"I promise you, my God!"

"Let me live!"

"I ask you for life!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live this moment!"

"Let me live!"

"Let me live!"

What is wrong with you?

I am feeling giddy.

I will sleep for sometime.

"Let me live!"

"Let me live!"

"I can't breathe and I have no words."

"Let me live!"

"I promise, my God!"

"Let me live!"

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Dad, how is your knee pain?

You look very happy today.

- Stay happy. - Okay.

- Shall I massage your feet? - No.

I'll get tea for you. It must be boiling.

Here.

Good.

Firdous!

You prepared tea which I like.

Prepare such tea often.

He is complimenting you.

[COW MOO]

Yes.

Look.

What state you are in?

What are you doing? Dad is watching us.

I am not doing anything wrong. I am taking care of you.

You work the whole day. It's winter.

Your lips are dry.

Hello!

MALE: What are you doing?

- I am talking to you. - MALE: Is it?

- Yes. - MALE: Do you remember me?

Yes. A lot.

MALE: Listen. How was the push?

Nice.

[CROW CAWING]

[HUMMING]

Wait. I have ironed your shirt. Wear it.

And give this here.

Wear it.

What's the matter? You are serving me well.

You work so much. Don't you get tired?

Why will I get tired?

It's my house.

Who will work if not me?

Okay. Alright. I'm leaving. I'm getting late.

You are always late.

Listen.

Come early in the afternoon.

I will prepare chicken for lunch.

You are pampering me.

Look at your paunch.

That's what a chicken does.

These days you take good care of me.

Alright. I'm leaving.

Okay. Come soon. I'll wait for you.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

MALE: I have the courage. I will sleep with you in front of your husband.

He won't even know.

Come. If you have the courage.

Shut up.

I am dropping the call.

MALE: Why? Why so soon?

Alright.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CROWING]

Farida is asking me to visit her.

I was planning to meet her today.

I'll drop you.

No. It's close by. I'll manage on my own.

Take care of Zumera.

Alright. You can go.

Tea.

My mobile?

It was lying down.

I'll prepare sweet dish for you.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CROWING]

What do I tell you?

There's anger in me.

I can't tell anyone.

I can't explain to you either.

Dad wants to meet you.

Come home tomorrow in the afternoon.

No one is at home then. My brother is at work.

Okay.

Stay back.

[GASPS]

[CRYING]

[CRYING]

Where were you the whole day?

You didn't eat your meal.

Have your food.

Hold it.

Shall I feed you?

Eat while I get water.

The food is rubbish.

Don't you know to cook?

What do you do the whole day?

What is wrong with you? Why do you speak in this manner?

What is wrong?

You will do anything while I watch.

What have I done?

You did. What have you done?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CROWING]

Good child.

Firdous!

Get tea.

And take this child.

Enough. No.

No.

No. Stop it.

Why did you get tea?

Where is Firdous?

I am asking you where is Firdous?

Open the door.

[CRYING]

Where is Firdous?

Open the door.

[CRYING]

What is wrong?

- Aunt. Have you see Firdous? - No.

- Nope. - No.

O God! Have mercy.

[COW MOO]

- Liyakat, did you see Firdous? - No.

She didn't go from here.

Shabir, did you see Firdous?

- Istiyak. - Yes.

- Did you see Firdous? - No.

- Aunt, did you see Firdous? - No.

I really didn't see her.

I don't know where she is. I am searching for her.

I didn't see her.

Okay.

[BLEAT]

[BLEAT]

I don't like the house without you.

Come home.

Sir, move aside. Or it will fall on your head.

Do you want more?

That's enough. Come down.

The radio is not working.

The news was about Philistine.

Come and check it.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Why don't you get a TV at home?

Radio is old. You can watch news on TV.

Philistine. Israel. You can watch the whole world on TV.

Your friend Hamid said...

...buy a TV.

It's not legal.

There's nothing legal or illegal. It's just a perspective.

I am your follower. I have read some rules too.

Make someone happy that is a greater prayer.

What do you think the work I do for you...

...a contractor of Punjab. I am not short of money.

I do it to please you.

Pleasing someone is a boon.

[COW MOO]

Oh! Sit down.

Cold has increased.

Liyakat, get two cups of tea.

Didn't you wear a sweater? Aren't you feeling cold?

It's raining heavily.

What happened?

I know everything.

What is going on between you and Firdous?

I know it all.

She is smoking just like you.

I tried a lot but...

I couldn't straighten out things.

Maybe you can help me out.

Aren't you feeling cold? You didn't wear a sweater. It's cold.

Come and sit down.

I will prepare tea for you.

Firdous, enough.

We need to stop.

Every story has an ending. And maybe this is ours.

Look, we need to come out of this imaginary world.

Or you will break your family.

What if I break down?

You told me keep some happiness for yourself.

- And... - Firdous.

I have no answer to your question.

No answer.

Go from here.

I won't go.

I won't.

Alright. I'll leave.

Firdous, leave me.

Firdous! Firdous!

[CRYING]

[CRYING]

[COW MOO]

You should have taken some medicine.

I took it.

Greetings dad.

Greetings to you as well.

Is your sister fine?

Yes. She's fine.

Okay.

Dad, Latif was here.

Latif, our neighbour.

He said give me a buffalo I'll pay you Rs.5000.

No. 5000 is not enough. Ask him more.

[CROWING]

Here.

Eat it.

Hamid.

I want to speak to you.

Hamid, I... agree...

...what we did...

...is not a mistake but a crime.

Did you ever try to find out...

...why things came to this?

Actually.

After a few years of marriage...

...we kill the child inside us.

We grow up very quickly.

We want our wife to do the same.

But this is not how life is.

Did you try to find out...

...what she has in her?

How much is hidden?

Marriage is a partnership...

...between two people.

So it is called life-partner.

Why is it that a man becomes the owner?

And he thinks the woman is a slave.

The wishes of a woman...

...somehow turns into fire.

Then some wind is needed.

Did you try to read her face?

What she is thinking? What she wants?

This is where we lack.

A woman can be won by love.

There is no weapon other than this.

You told me...

...I can save your family.

You can save it yourself.

I am going to Punjab.

I promise I won't come again in your life.

You have to find out...

...what is lacking.

You need to take stock.

Firdous, is the breakfast ready?

Where is she lost? I am speaking to you.

I'll get it right away.

Get it quickly. I'm hungry.

- What is happening? - I'm washing clothes.

- Give it to me. - I'll manage.

- No. - I'll do it. - It's alright.

Leave. Let it be.

- I'll do it. - I'll take it in. Let it be.

Leave it.

Greetings!

What is this?

TV.

Stupid.

You got a TV?

Are you mad?

Don't you know it's illegal?

How dare you get a TV home?

Listening to your wife...

...you went against me.

Don't you know I am a member of the Masjid committee.

Dad!

- What will the villagers say? - Dad!

I got some happiness not just a TV.

You can't bear it.

Everyone lives but...

...it is not a sin to live happily.

And about the neighbours.

They fight the whole day.

They harass each other. Isn't that a crime?

Mixing water in milk. Isn't it a crime?

I got a TV, this is a crime.

Dad! You love God not fear him.

Shut up. Will you teach me?

I served God all my life.

Neither the TV nor you will stay in this house.

Firdous!

Firdous!

We don't want to live in this house. The house where we are not happy...

...I don't want to stay in that house. Let's go.

Wait.

You can go. Firdous won't go anywhere.

She is my daughter.

Firdous! Switch on the TV.

Pleasing someone is a prayer.

Where are you going?

Punjab.

[VEHICLE PASSING BY]

[COW MOO]

Are you back?

I prepared sweet dish for you.

What are you watching? Eat it.

I'll feed you.

It's hot. It will burn.

How is it?

If you prepared it then it will be good.

Good. You don't take care of yourself.

I need to remind you of everything.

Eat food. Apply cream. Comb your hair.

You need to take care of yourself.

You look happy.
