H u rry u p . H u rry u p .

A bus had toppled
over i n the mou ntai ns .

There were no serious casualties .
Al l passengers were rescued .

And l was on my way down

Pu l l us u p.

It wasn't that l 'd never seen
a more beautifu l g i rl than her.

But l don't know why l
cou ld n't take my eyes off her.

Her eyes were lowered and
she was breath i ng heavi ly.

She was very scared .

A strand of hai r was
botheri ng her rig ht eye .

She was tryi ng to move it
but the wi nd was strong and . .

. .The hai r stayed fhere .

As l l ifted my hand from
her waist to move the hair. .

She kept stari ng at me scared .

Then she lowered her gaze, but. .

You know we risk ou r l ives
everyday fo save l ives . .

. .Of people who are
com plete strangers. .

i n any way.

Yet on ou r way home , ou r
hearts swel l with pride . .

. .That we saved someone's sisfer,
wife , brother or mother.

Gave someone a new l ife .

But today, for the fi rst
ti me i n so many years . .

For the fi rsf ti me ,
sacrifici ng my l ife . .

. .For someone else
is seem i ng worthless.

It's seem i ng wrong .

L 'm sorry, ma'am ,
but it was d isgusti ng .

Get ouf. l don't
want to see you r face .

Who asked you to
g ive Zaara you r money?

You know l can't say no to Zaara .

Even if l d id , she
wou ld've taken it forci bly.

And she's nof off to the market
to buy bang les, but fo l nd ia .

Wasn'f it i m portant
enough to fel l me?

She made me pledge ou r friendsh i p .

Pledge of friendsh i p .

Come , hold on fighf.

How many ti mes are you

As many ti mes you

Actual ly, there's a

The festival of Eid is com i ng u p .

At fh is ti me, a lot of
people go across the border.

But don't worry, l 'l l fi nd a way.

'The passengers are req uested to. .'

Than k God you're al l right. l

You r father has retu rned .
He sent me .

Let's cal l home and

'Passengers goi ng to

'We wish you a happy jou rney.

So sil ly of me . l kept

Raza . - You made a big m istake .

You made a big m istake .

Zaara l 'm a very si m ple man .

L speak fran kly and

It's the fi rsf ti me

. .D ifferently because

The enti re jou rney l kept th i n ki ng . .

And we'l l breeze th roug h

. .These past two days.

But the g uy u p there
has strange ways .

He kept bu i ld i ng my confidence
and then when we got here . .

He changed the enti re story.

You m ust be wonderi ng why l 'm

Please don't get me wrong .

L u nderstand that you
belong to someone else . .

. .And there's noth i ng

But wherever
whenever you need a friend . .

. .J ust remem ber that fhere

. .Who wil l g ive h is l ife for you .

Zaara we m ust leave.

M r. Veer.

Zaara told me how you

Now l 'm indebted to you .

So tel l me how may l repay you?
- J ust keep aara happy.

The debt wi l l be repaid .

Carefu l , M r Veer. .

What is love . .
l don't know. But yes .

L do wish from the
bottom of my heart. .

. .That Zaara never
has tears i n her eyes.

That she always keeps sm il i ng .

If thaf's what you cal l love ,
then love it is .

M r. Veer, you're tal king
about my fiancée to my face .

L don't know whether to consider
th is a compl i menf or an i nsu lf.

If you th i n k of th is as noth i ng ,
it's better. For the fruth is that. .

. . L 'm noth i ng to her and

Good bye .

Let's go .

You'l l have to leave now.

Sorry you r story is

Come on , ma'am .

And 786 . .

. . L 'm send i ng someone to

Eat q u ickly, or you'l l have fo

Have you ever wondered
why h is n u mber is 786?

What?

Have you ever wondered . . From
the thousands of prisoners here . .

. . How come this lone H i nd u prisoner
has got Al lah's holy n u m ber?

Th is is not a mere coi ncidence,
th is is God's g reat mi racle .

H is way of tel l i ng al l of

Treat h i m with respect.

Next ti me , you speak

. .G ive a serious thoug ht
to what l 've j ust said .

These are sweets .
My mother sent them for you .

Please have some . She has
sent them with her blessi ngs .

What happened? You don't l i ke it?

No . . no. . these are j ust

Th i ngs made by a mother's

May l have one more?

Yes , please . These are al l for you .

Tel l you r mother she's

Del icious .

Al l n ig ht, l was

My mofher cried a

But l stayed u p waiti ng for dawn .

L kept th i n ki ng how
and why d id you get here?

Kept wonderi ng why d id n't
th is story end at thaf station?

Th is story cou ld n'f
have ended there .

Because so far, th is was
on ly a fale of Veer's love .

Zaara's love had nof yet begu n .

And wifhout knowi ng what aara felt,
Veer's story and Veer's l ife . .

. .Wou ld both remai n i ncom plete .

Jehang i r Hayaat Khan , aara's
father and the pride of Lahore .

Si nce the i nception of Pakistan
the name of the Hayaat Khan fami ly. .

. .Was synonymous with respect,
power and g lory.

Jehang i r Hayaat Khan was taki ng
h is fi rst step i nto pol itics . .

. .With fhe hel p of Abd u l Sh i razi .

Another rich
respectable man of Lahore.

He was Raza Sh i razi's father.

Zaara and Raza's marriage
was no ord i nary relationsh i p .

Al l these people's futu res
were dependent on th is al l iance .

L n th is situation . .

Zaara's com i ng to l nd ia al l
by herself was . .

. .A very i rresponsi ble acf.

And to forg ive such an act was
not Jehang ir Hayaat Khan's natu re .

It was a month si nce
aara had retu rned . .

. . But her father had
not yef spoken with her.

Oh , God . Ma'am , l 'l l bu rst with
happi ness what an elegant outfit. .

. .And look. l th i n k th is
jewel lery set is an antiq ue .

L th i n k it belongs to
M r. Raza's ancestors .

Ou r Zaara is very l ucky. M r Raza has
everyth i ng . Respectabi l ity, money.

There's no dou bt i n that.
He has everyth i ng by God's grace.

There cou ld not be a better
match than th is . J usf pray for them .

"There's a man across fhe border
who wi l l g ive h is l ife for you . "

Mofher, can you g ive
u p you r l ife for papa?

Of cou rse . He's my h usband .
l can do anyth i ng for h i m

And wou ld papa g ive
u p h is l ife for you?

What ki nd of a q uestion
is that. Pray to God . .

. .That such an
occasion does not arise.

But if such an occasion
were to arise?

Then can you say for su re that
papa wou ld g ive u p h is l ife for you?

Have you gone mad?

Shabbo, g ive me some l i me.
My hands have become sticky.

That means you're not su re?

Listen , baby, between
a woman's love . .

. .And a man's love,
there's a h uge d ifference .

A woman loves with
al l her heart and sou l .

Men do not have the
strength to love l i ke that.

L know why you're
aski ng me th is q uestion .

But don't expect th is from Raza .

J ust g iVe h i m you r heart and
sou l and fu lfi l you r d uties .

And l am very su re , fhat he
wil l fu lfi l h is d uties too .

But he won't g ive u p h is
l ife for me , isn't it?

You're tal ki ng nonsense .

Here, Shabbo, you put it. Th is
g i rl is goi ng fo d rive me mad .

"There's a man across fhe border
who wi l l g ive h is l ife for you . "

But l know someone who wil l
wil l i ng ly g ive u p h is l ife for me .

A person whose eyes are honest
and whose words have honou r.

A man who can forsake
everyth i ng for a woman's love.

A person to whom it
makes no d ifference that. .

. . L 'm a Pakistan i and
he's an l nd ian .

Who're you tal ki ng about?
What've you been u p to?

Tel l me the truth . Swear on me .

He hasn't even touched me Mother.

But l have lost my
heart and sou l to h i m .

Don't you know you r fafher?
Ti l l now, he's not tal ki ng to you .

If he fi nds out about th is,
he'l l ki l l you . Don't you real ise?

You're getti ng engaged today.
You're goi ng to be married soon .

Now if's wrong to th i n k
of anyfh i ng else , aara .

Oh , sfu pid g i rl , love is on ly fou nd
i n books and poetry. Not i n l ife .

That's what l thoug ht
u nti l now. . u nti l now. .

'Listen .'

Shabbo, please put
some sense i nto her.

Otherwise a storm wi l l

J ust u nderstand one th i ng ,
aara . You r futu re is with Raza .

Now neither you can
change th is, nor God .

What's al l th is Zaara?

It's love Shabbo.

It doesn'f come with reason .

"Pearl m i l let. We

"Wow! "

Si nce you're my on ly ch ild

It's you r d uty to u nderstand

To strengthen the bonds

And no matter what, safeg uard

Come to Lahore, take aara away.

She'l l never be able to

She says fhat you can

And then she asked

How m uch do you love aara?

How m uch do you love aara?

L d id n't have an answer

Neither do l have one now.

Hes conscious, but

Hes l isten i ng to everyth i ng ,

Hes festering the shock deep

Good bye .

Dont worry, Sister-i n-law.

Than k Al lah that the news

Anyway, tomorrow, after the wedd i ng ,
al l the wagg ing tong ues wil l stop .

After al l thats happened
Razas sti l l ready to get married?

Mariam maam , th is marriage is
not on ly between Raza and aara .

Theres a very deep and a serious . .

. . Pact beh i nd if. lts
on th is fou ndation . .

. .That you r h usbands and
after h i m Razas career rests .

Raza is very wel l aware of th is .
Now, aara has to u nderstand th is. .

If th is wedd i ng doesnt
take place tomorrow fhen . .

. .Jehang i r Hayaat Khans
daug hters name wi l l be . .

. . L i n ked to an l nd ian man forever.

M r. Khans years of

Hed lose the elections
for su re , and he'l l face . .

. .A l ifeti me of d isg race .

He wi l l not be able to bear. .

. .The weig ht of that shame .

He wont be able to bear it.

Prepare for the wedd i ng ,
Brother Abd u l

Tomorrow, there wil l be
a wedd i ng i n th is house .

Wherere you goi ng?

To aaras house .

Please dont go anywhere .
Let ton ig ht pass .

Raza is looki ng for you everywhere .
The house is com pletely si lent.

You cant go there and do anyth i ng .
Abba is i n deep shock.

L am the cause for the
shock and the sol ution .

L had nt come here
j ust to see aara's face .

If nobody speaks,
theres bou nd to be si lence .

Someone has to make the fi rst move .

Whether it bri ngs on
a storm or a wedd i ng .

My name is Mariam Hayaat Khan .
lm aaras mother.

But perhaps, today l have
lost the rig ht to cal l her my own .

Because my
daug hters not m i ne anymore .

Shes you rs now.

L ve come to ask you to
g ive my daug hter back to me .

Please g ive us back ou r daug hter.
Otheise her father wi l l d ie .

He wont be able to
bear the shame , he'l l d ie .

L ve heard that you save l ives .

Youre the one who
saved aaras l ife .

So now please save
her fathers l ife .

L beg of you , please save h is l ife .

Otherwise, hel l d ie .

Hel l d ie.

A mother never has to beg to
her son . She j ust has to order.

Aara has always and
wil l always belong to you .

Did you th i n k that l wou ldve taken
aara away without you r perm ission?

People say fhat love is bl i nd . .

. .So we too were
bl i nded by ou r love .

We cou ld on ly see each other.

We d id nt see if we
were harm i ng anyone .

H u rti ng anyone or. .

. . If someones l ife was at stake .

We cou ld n't see anyth i ng .

But now everyth i ngs clear.

Love cant be more
i m portant than someone's l ife.

Dont you worry.

Aara wi l l marry the
person of her parenf's choice .

Prepare for the wedd i ng .
ll l tal k to aara .

L promise you that she wi l l
wil l i ng ly ag ree to the marriage .

Is every son from
you r cou ntry l i ke you?

L dont know.

But yes, every mother i n my
cou ntry is exactly l i ke you .

If you th i n k that
lve made a wrong . .

. .Decision then j usf tel l me .

No one wi l l be able to stop
me from taki ng you to l nd ia .

You r decision is absol utely right.

Th is has happened because of
one si l ly m istake on my part.

L d made a promise to
myself that l wont break.

If on ly l d been able to stop
myself when l saw you yesferday.

That. .

One si l ly m istake of you rs wi l l hel p
get me fh roug h the rest of my l ife .

If youd taken that away from me
then what wou ld l take back with me?

Why is God doi ng th is to us?

L ve never done
anyth i ng wrong i n my l ife .

So why is he pu n ish i ng me
l i ke th is?

L m keepi ng two
moments of you r l ife with me .

And l 'm givi ng two
moments of my l ife fo you .

These two moments are
the sym bol of ou r love .

These two moments make
ou r love sfory.

Now wel l l ive ou r
l ives on these two moments .

But with a sm i le .

Neither wi l l ou r love weaken .

Nor wi l l ou r d uties
remai n u nfu lfi l led .

Youl l honou r you r
parents by bei ng a good wife .

And l 'l l fu lfi l fafher's
d reams back i n the vi l lage .

And after youve had
eig ht to ten ch i ld ren . .

. . Bri ng everyone along for a visit.

L l l take you for a ride on a
cycle and show you a new vi l lage .

But after havi ng eig ht to ten kids ,
l wont be able to sit on a cycle .

Yes , you've got a poi nt.

Then l l l arrange for a tractor.

Nobody su rvived .

My name too was on

People maybe th i n ki ng fhat
aki r Ah med has forgotten . .

. . How to fighf a case .

And anyway, l th i n k th is
case is very i nteresti ng .

What do you th i n k Saam iya?

So you both know one another?

Of cou rse . Saam iya was
worki ng for us earl ier.

But perhaps, she d id n't
approve of the way we worked . .

. .So she went over to
the H u man Rig hts cam p .

Shes a very capable lady, it'l l be
fu n to fig ht the case opposite her.

There was a special pu rpose
for cal l i ng both of you here .

It wou ld be better if
both the parties can have . .

. .An out of cou rt settlemenf.

Otherwise, the cou rt has fixed
the date for day after tomorrow.

But yes, if the case does not
start the day after tomorrow. .

. .Then the next date cou ld be after
six months or maybe even a year.

We're ready, si r. But if fhe
defence needs more ti me then . .

Defence is ready, si r.
- But Saam iya . .

Si r, you can fix it for day after
tomorrow. My cl ient has waited . .

. .For 22 years to get j usfice .
l cant make h i m waif any more .

Okay, then thats fixed .

L than k you both for com i ng here.

Good day.
- Good day, si r.

Okay, Saam iya . l l l see
you i n cou rt. Good day.

Th is was an i m possible
case rig ht from the start.

And now, wifh aki r Ah meds arrival ,
theres absol utely no chance.

But th is case is too smal l for
h is portfol io. . l dont know why.

L canf u nderstand anyth i ng .

Listen , j ust make any
excuse and d rop th is case .

Th is is you r fi rst case
and the way aki r Ah med . .

. . I nsu lts the opposition ,
hel l ru i n you r career.

Thats exactly what he wants .

What do you mean?
- Sah i l , do one thi ng .

Go back fo the office and
make a l isf of the witnesses .

L l l be there i n a wh i le.

But where're you goi ng?
- To meet aki r Ah med .

Okay. What? Saam iya .

Ms . Saam iya Sidd iq ue, youd sworn
that youd never sfep i nto my office.

Then how cou ld you
bear to come here today?

Theres noth i ng l i ke that, si r.

J ust that my
pri nci ples d iffered from you rs.

And l thoug ht fhat if l cou ld not
respect worki ng by you r pri nci ples. .

. .Then ifs better that l leave .
- l nteresti ng , very i nteresting .

Youve developed g reat
pri nci ples at a you ng age.

My pri nci ples have been passed
on to me as my fathers legacy.

Saam iya , do you know that
youre the fi rst person . .

. .Who refused to take a
case offered by aki r Ah med .

Here, people wait for years i n the
hope of gefti ng thei r fi rst case .

But l recogn ised you r capabi l ity,
l chose you .

L ig nored you r age ,
you r i nexperience. .

. .And even the fact
that youre a woman .

And what d id you do
i n spite of that?

You th rew fhe case back i n my face .

It wou ldve set
a cri m i nal free, si r.

And accord i ng to me,
that wou ldve been wrong .

Its not a lawyers job to
decide whats rig ht or wrong .

Its the cou rts job .

A lawyers d uty is to wi n the case
u nder any ci rcu mstance . Noth i ng else .

Wel l , thats the
d ifference between you and me , si r.

You r pri nci ple is to fig ht to wi n . .

. .And my pri nci ple is
to fighf for the truth .

L nteresti ng , very inferesti ng . So,
now youre g ivi ng me lessons i n law.

Th is was al l that was
left for me to experience .

Lets forget the past. Otherwise ,
wel l keep open i ng u p old wou nds .

If youve faken the trou ble
to come al l fhe way here . .

. .Then if m ust be
someth i ng i mportant. Sif.

What can aki r Ah med do for you?

Look, sir, bei ng my fi rst
case its obvious that. .

. . L wi l l make some m istakes .

And now that you're the opposition ,
the problems wi l l i ncrease .

Because of some trifle on my part. .

. . L dont want that
l nd ian prisoner's freedom . .

. .To be revoked . Because . .

Hes com pletely i n nocent.
Thafs true .

A g reat i nj ustice has
been done to h i m si r.

And he tru ly deserves h is freedom .

Fi nal ly, youve
stooped down to ou r level .

Basical ly youve come aski ng for
hel p to wi n you r fi rst case rig ht?

Defeati ng aki r Ah med takes you r
career off fo a flyi ng start. No?

Have you forgoften that aki r
Ah med has never lost a case as yet?

And now, its very
i m portant for me to wi n th is case .

Because l want to teach a lesson to. .

. . Headstrong
you ngsters l i ke you rself. .

. .The repercussions of not
fol lowi ng aki r Ah meds pri nci ples.

What's the matter,
Ms. Saam iya Sidd iq ue?

Losf faifh i n you r

. .Come begg i ng for a wi n?

Please forg ive me , si r.

For a wh i le , l thoug ht
that you were al most h u man .

L j ust came to d iscuss if
theres any possi bi l ity of. .

. .G ivi ng th is man h is freedom
without taki ng th is case to cou rt.

But you m istook my
hu man ity fo be my weakness.

Now wel l meet i n cou rt. Be
prepared to lose you r fi rst case .

Because now prisoner 786
wil l be sent to l nd ia and . .

. . Neither you nor the
State of Pakistan wi l l stop me.

L nteresti ng .

Very i nteresti ng .

Can l ask you one q uestion?

You had nt spoken to
anyone i n al l these years . .

. .Then why d id you tel l me

You cal led me by my name .

What?

Youre the fi rst person who
d id nf dou bt my i n nocence .

The fi rst person who
bel ieved that l am Veer Si ng h .

The fruth is that i n al l these years,

You rem i nded me of who l am .

You gave me respect by

Veer Pratap Si ng h .

For a prisoner who has

. .To respect al l h u man bei ngs.
But You r Honou r. .

L n a cou rt of law whaf man
cant see , the law can . .

. .And accord i ng to the law the
State is bigger than the i nd ivid ual .

And for a person who works agai nst
the i nterests of the cou ntry. .

. .Even bei ng sentenced
to death 22 ti mes is less.

Prosecution wi l l i n a
matter of j usf 30 m i n utes . .

. .And with the hel p of j usf th ree

. .That the defendant
Rajesh Rathore is not worthy. .

. .Of goi ng back to h is cou nfry or

Thats al l , You r Honou r.

Now l cal l u pon the

Ms . Sidd iq ue, best of l uck.

You r Honou r, Prosecution Cou nsel
M r. aheer Khan was very q u ick to. .

Aki r Ah med says that th is

You r Honou r, th is case is nof bei ng

But si r, fhaf was the th i ng . .

Honou r, th is person
also had a passport. .

. . I n the name of Veer Pratap Si ng h .

And how cou ld one
person have two passports?

For th is reason , ou r
suspicion changed to certai nty.

And after we q uestioned h i m , he

L , Rajesh Rathore . .

"Golden warmth that

"Where have we come to?"

"Where have we come to?"

He was always q u iet
and kept to h i mself.

He never comm u n icated with anyone .

But whenever a
prisoner was i l l or u pset. .

. . He wou ld go forth to

L dont know if he is Veer
Pratap Si ng h or Rajesh Rathore . .

Send h i m back to h is homeland .

Send h i m back.

M r. Maj id Khan , it looks l i ke . .

. .You have no great love
for you r cou ntry Pakisfan .

If it were u p to you then every

The cou rt does not have

Youl l never get such

Youl l d ie lyi ng rig ht here . .
