Head for the goal!

Referee! That's a foul!

And they call us barbaric!

I've asked my Political Party to allocate..

maximum compensation for the victim's families.

And, what about all the people that you killed over the years?

What have you done for their families?

Look Colonel..

I don't have a gun in my hands.

Now, peace is my only weapon..

You've been here just for a few days..

and already you are an "Apostle of Peace"?

Mr. Politician, you better find out who is behind this,

or..

Or what Colonel?

Or.. it'll be an eye for an eye..

and a head for a head!

You're new here. Aren't you?

Yes.

What's your name?

Nasreen.

I'm Sikandar.

Where've you come from?

Kupwara.

I'm from Kupwara too.

Really! When did you come here?

About ten years back.. after my parents were killed.

Was it the Army?

No, Jihadis.

But..

Let's get away fast.

Hold on! I want to check it out.

Its dangerous.

You go on, if you like!

Nasreen!

Let's go. - What happened?

Nothing. You were right. Its dangerous.

Let's go.

We are safe now.

Ejaz. He's here. Look!

Come.

Will you play against us now?

Sissy!

Stay at home!

Sikandar!

You've got tell the Principal about those three.

I don't want to complain.

Then I'll go tell the Principal alone.

I don't want girls carrying tales for me. But..

Look. I'll handle it! This is between men.

How is the Tea?

Very nice Sir!

What have I done?

You made a foul move with a Soccer ball.

Captain Singh, give him a "Red Card".

With pleasure, sir!

Sir, please. I'm innocent.

It's not me. It's Zahgeer.

It's Zahgeer's act.

Salaam, Zahgeer!

Salaam.

Makhdoom Pasha had said that you were in these parts too.

He sends his regards.

Tell mercenary bastard that times have changed.

Times haven't changed. You've changed!

Yes. I have..

the paths are different now..

Zahgeer..

its now time for peaceful dialogue..

we won't achieve anything with weapons now.

Your Kashmir Peace Front, just wants to win the elections..

what will that achieve?

Peace. - Peace..

In the guise of peace you'll become a lap dog to the higher powers.

Don't forget.. every dog has his day.

I know what you are planning here..

you have to stop. Or else..

Or else what?

Or else.. its an eye for an eye.

Its always been an eye for an eye.

This time, I'll have my eye on you.

I'll need some time to think.

May Allah be with you!

With you too.

Hai Allah?

How many times have I told you to sleep on the floor?

He's done it again, has he?

Don't you make fun of him!

Our Kashmiri Kaka' has a battle scar.

Hai Allah?

You men play games that are too tough on us womenfolk.

I'll get a warm towel.

Show me.

Sikandar. You have to watch those enemy feet when you have the ball.

There were three of them, Uncle Arshad.

Too many feet to watch.

They may be 3 or 30..

If you're alone, make your single brain count more.

Hit it. Here you go!

Well done! Break it.

Give it to me, I will try.

Breck it.

Let's see if you can "Head Butt" a bullet!

Noo.. brother.. Sikandar

Please, brother.. have mercy.

No.

See you at the evening game.

Ejaz.. No!

Well done, my boy! Well done!

The state team selectors should have been here today.

God bless you. - Sir.

Now that's how a "Man" handles it.

I won! I won!

And the First Prize for this Race, goes to Sikandar!

And the First Prize for Cheating, goes to Nasreen.

By the way, that goal was terrific!

It was almost as if.. those three were scared.

What's the secret?

I waved a magic wand at them.

Magic? What kind?

Black magic!

You picked it up!

I used my single brain to tackle my problems.

Sikandar, that's the cause of all our problems.

They were making my life hell!

You don't know what hell's really like.

Salaam, brothers!

Salaam!

My brothers, I know that we are few in number, but have courage.

By the grace of Allah, we will have a breakthrough soon.

Allah is merciful!

I don't know which one of you informed on our plans.

I just wanted to set an example.

Bury him.

May Allah grant you all your wishes!

May Allah grant me the power to fulfill all your wishes, Aunty!

What is it that you want now?

All I want is to fulfill my duties towards my elders.

So you think you are ready to fulfill your duties?

You just tell me what you want Aunty, and it shall be done.

Well, since you're being so generous..

I would like a Washing Machine.

A Washing Machine!

Yes. A Washing Machine!

Make that a Washer-cum-Dryer!

I'm so busy dyeing these Shawls, all day.

I hardly get time to do the laundry.

Washing Machine!

I know how you feel, son. Soon that day will come..

when I'll demand a Washing Machine from you.

For now, let's just ask for Allah's blessings for your betterment.

Sure, Aunty.

We've caught only four as yet.

Question them! - Ok, sir.

Have they spoken? - Not yet, sir.

Your name? Name?

Aslam Khan.

Aslam Khan.

Captain Singh. Search this building.

To the right!

I'll take care of him.

I have information that there's a big operation

being planned by your men.

These are not my men. They are from the KAF - Kashmir Azaad Force.

Soldier, Check on that roof too.

I'm from the Kashmir Peace Front.

We want our freedom, but through peaceful means.

Too much talk, and very little action my dear politician friend.

Tell me, where's the peace?

The seeds have been sown. Be patient.

Patient! Attacks are being planned here..

and you want me to be patient?

Just a few days more, Colonel. We'll turn a new page in the book.

Every page is coloured red in Kashmir by you politicians.

Where is Zahgeer?

Nasreen.

New CD Player?

New CD Player?

MP3

Show me.

Where did you get this?

Its a gift from my father.

What?

Its a gift from my father.

Yeah, I know.. these players are pretty cheap nowadays. Made in China.

Its "Made in Japan". Original!

Your father must love you a lot.

Yes, he does! He calls me, "Flower of Kashmir".

Sikandar

Sikandar, what happened?

If my parents were alive, they too would have a special name for me.

Don't you have your Uncle and Aunt?

Yes..

They love me a lot. But.. it's just different.

What matters more, is that they love you.

I hope to pay them back some day..

specially my Aunty!

When you become a famous Soccer player..

..you buy them whatever they want.

Listen. My father wants to buy a new Music System.

Let's go and check one out at the electronics shop in Hazira Market.

You go on. What will I do there?

Come on. It'll be fun.

Do they have Washing Machines there?

Many! You want check out some?

But, I don't have the money..

They don't charge money just to see.

Let's go.

Oh! Come on now!

Come

It's there!

Come on!

Come in.

Go on, open the lid, and look inside.

It's a little small.

So picky!

How about that one?

Is that a Washer-cum-Dryer?

Let's see

I can't figure out a thing.

Move aside!

Make it stop!

Make it stop!

I can't! Do something!

What's going on? Who are you people?

Who touched this machine?

You?

You?

Who are you?

I'm sorry! I won't do it again!

Leave her! Leave her alone!

So! We have a hero here!

Please, please, leave him, don't hurt him!

You stay away. I'll teach him a lesson.

Now?

No, no, my son! Forgive me.

Sikandar.. please! For God's sake! Let's go!

Let's go!

That gun has become a part of you.

I didn't know checking out a Washing Machine would be so dangerous.

Does it hurt?

It feels as if my head's been spun in a Washing Machine.

In a Washer - cum-Dryer!

Salaam, brother. - Salaam.

Will everything ready by next week?

They will be ready, brother.

Zahgeer it's me.

Javed, you should know better than to walk up on me suddenly.

Everybody is pulling a gun on me these days!

Who dares raise a finger towards someone under my protection?

A little boy walked into my shop..

and threatened me with a gun.

Is that what you call your "protection"?

A little boy?

Yes! A little boy!

Sikandar, We want to play with the gun too..

and, we want to join your group.

What group? Your militant group.

I don't belong to any militant group.

So, I guess, your father gave yo u the gun as a birthday gift?

You may have a gun, but do you have bullets?

Look up the barrel, you'll find out?

We'll deal with him later!

We'll get the gun for sure!

Sikandar, keep looking over your shoulder!

Welcome, Sikandar!

Do you only scare people, or shoot things too?

You won't get very far!

Please sir, its a mistake. It will never happen again.

Don't be scared, brother. I just want to see how you use your gun.

I.. I don't know how to..

Give me the gun?

Don't be afraid.

Beretta.. 92 FS. Early nineties model.

The favorite companion of the first Jihadis.

Where did you get it from?

I.. I.. It belonged to my father.

Your father is a martyr?

Empty! You really fooled Javed Bhai, didn't you.

By the way, what were you doing in his shop?

I.. I.. just wanted to check out a Washing Machine.

You're thinking of.. Washing Machines, at this age?

My Aunt.. she really needs one.

Come.

Success comes easy, to the one who fulfills his elder's desires.

He did say that nobody understands the motives of heroes.

You won't understand.

Come on Sikandar

The gun jumps in your hand when you shoot..

so always aim slightly lower than the target.

I just have to shoot the gun..once.

But, what's the target?

He'll tell me when the time comes.

Your favourite.

Soon I'll pay you back for all that you've done for me.

Really, how?

I.. I may be getting an award.. for.. for my Soccer skills.

I wish a lifetime of awards for you.

Eat.

Uncle Arshad, why don't girls understand..

that sometimes we have to fight for peace?

Its something to laugh about.

I wasn't laughing at girls.

"Fighting for Peace"!

Have you ever heard a funnier joke?

(Prayer)

Salaam.

Salaam.

Salam

Please go inside.

Salam.

Salam. Please come.

Yes!

The Colonel has guaranteed,

no fresh encounters for the next six months..

if there are no more bombings.

Our policy is not to interfere.. either with the Army..

or with the Militants.

You are men of Allah.

You have a responsibility towards the people.

It's not for us to try and..

change the paths chosen by either Zahgeer or.. by you.

A target is just a target.

Be it an apple, a bottle, or someone's head.

If the mind is focused on the reward, and the eye on the target..

the hand will never tremble.

Nasreen!

I got 10 out of 10.

10 Goals! Wow!

Not 10 goals! 10 targets!

I had my final shooting test today.

I shot all 10 targets out of 10.

And now?

And now, I get a brand new Washing Machine!

What do you have to do in return?

Tomorrow in Hazira market, I have to shoot my gun.. just once!

And the target?

You're just jealous that I too can get gifts.

Hey Sikandar!

Come here, boy.

Come here.

Why weren't you at Soccer practice today?

Sikandar.

It was too crowded, Brother Zahgeer.

Who's the girl?

Who's the girl?

What girl?

I told you not to talk about me to anyone.

Who else knows about me?

No one.

Who else have you told about me?

No one! No one!

Liar!

Brother Zahgeer!

Brother Zahgeer!

Allah! How did this happen?

Brother Zahgeer!

(Religious song)

What happened Sikandar!

I killed him.

Hai Allah!

He hit me. I couldn't bear it.

I shot him in reaction.

He didn't even know you were going to shoot him.

I'm talking about Zahgeer Quadir. I killed him.

I thought it was the man in Hazira market.

What'll happen now?

Did anybody see you?

No.

Nobody's on the short-cut path in the morning.

Go clean yourself up, and go to your classroom.

Bastard!

Got what he deserved!

Colonel Sahib, don't insult the dead.

Are you his sympathizer?

No. But, he was a human being after all.

Human Being!

Zahgeer Quadir.. Assistant Commander-KAF.

A hard-core militant, wanted for 72 killings and..

22 bombings.

Human?

Colonel, this will not help the peace process.

Mr. Politician, this is not our work.

This must because of an internal fight in the KAF.

This Bastard pissed off too many people.

I don't know whose work this is..

but, please no more such encounters.

I implore you!

The KAF boys will be looking for his killer.

If they raise even any eyebrow towards the army,

there'll be hell to pay.

I'll try my best to ensure that.

Get ready for a curfew.

(Prayer)

Don't play here. Let's go home.

May Allah have mercy on his soul!

May Allah have mercy on all of us now.

His men will surely take revenge.

You have to put the word out, not to raise arms in retaliation.

They have struck at the heart. No one will listen to us now.

Maulvi sir, This is the time for you to be firm.

Hah! Our people will be holding their peace..

while the Army will be conducting more false encounters.

I haven't lost hope. I'll go to the people right now.

It may already be out of our hands.

Got you! "Tough Man"!

He's not so tough without the gun, is he?

Hit him!

Get his legs!

Throw him in the water.

Ejaz, Its too close to the soccer field.

Spare poor guy!

For God's sake! Please throw the gun away.

Throw it away!

We have to get the gun back.

But, where are they? They weren't even in school today.

Must be fooling around somewhere!

In Saami Mohalla?

Heroes don't rob people. What should we do?

Let me think.

Got It! I know what to do!

Are we going to rob someone?

This gun will get us entry into the KAF.

I don't think I am cut out for a Jihadi's life.

Scared huh! A Jihadi is a real life hero.

Yeah! Like Zahgeer Quadir.

Zahgeer Quadir!

Brothers, I have news.

What?

"DEATH TO..

ZAHGEER QUADIR'S..

KILLERS"

Sikandar.. quick! Army!

Hey you! What are you doing?

I.. I..

Nothing Sir, they were from our school..

we were just paying our respects to the dead.

Get lost now, before I send you where they've gone.

Sergeant. - Sir.

Go to the nearest Police Station. Get two prisoners.

Hand over two prisoners.

But..

It's my Captain's order.

Tell your Captain that we don't kill innocent prisoners.

I'm just following my orders.

Let me also receive my orders.

Sir.

The Army would've been blamed for the School Kids' killing.

I wanted to make it look like a militant encounter so..

So, you decided to kill two innocent prisoners.

No one is innocent.

All these people are killers..

just waiting for their chance.

Kashmir!

I wish man had never set foot here.

Under normal circumstances.

I would've taken action against you..

but, we're all under a lot of stress.

So, from now on you'll work under my direct orders.

You are my Commanding Officer. Its my duty to follow your orders.

Of course it is, Captain Singh.

And you'd better not forget it.

Any doubts? -None, sir.

So now, school children are our new enemy?

They breed Jihadis in their schools.

Captain Singh..

Only a few rotten apples.

You know what they say about rotten apples in a basket.

Two more were hovering around. A boy and a.. girl.

Rotten apples are in everyone's basket.

We just need to find the right way to stem the rot.

The whole school is in mourning.

Do you think he'll remember me?

You go home..

I'll tell the teacher, you had a stomach ache.

But, how?

Captain Singh. - Sir. - Anything.

He's going.

They all look the same!

We'll come back.

Let us know if there's any information. - Surely, sir.

Salaam. - Salaam.

Have you heard the news?

Zahgeer Quadir was shot and killed..

Hai Allah! Zahgeer Quadir! - Yes..

and he was killed by three boys from Sikandar's school.

Where's Sikandar?

He came home early, he has a stomach ache.

Let's see..

Where is he?

Please forgive me, Colonel. I was forced.

Zahgeer threatened to kill my entire family.

Get up!

When did you last meet Zahgeer?

It was the night I told him about the boy.

What boy?

My stomach still hurts. I don't want to go for Soccer practice.

I don't want to drink milk either.

Drink it! Everything will be fine.

You know I hate milk.

You know I hate little boys who tell white lies..

Drink!

Who is it?

Open up! - Army!

Aunty.

Aunty.

I'll hang a white shawl when it's safe to come back. - What?

Go! - Where? Just go!

They're looking for you all over.

They'll throw me in prison for the rest of my life.

Only the Maulvis can save you now. You should go to them.

How? I'll get caught in a minute.

This evening, I'm going to my cousin's engagement party.

I'll come and get you before that.

But, where will I hide till then?

In the old water tank.

Okay!

Maulvi, I believe the boy is not acting alone.

I just want the truth from him.

You leave this to us.

He'll confess to us.

What we know..

we'll surely tell you.

What do you have to say to this, Mukhtar?

The Maulvis are our spiritual leaders.

No one hides anything from them.

Sikandar!

Sikandar!

Sikandar!

Put this on.

Did you get this from my home?

No silly, it's my spare Burqa.

Burqa.

They're looking for a boy, aren't they? - Ok.

Take this - What do I need this for?

Two girls returning from school will never be suspected.

Okay!

You wait here, I'll get ready.

Let's go.

Sikandar, you go on alone from here.

Wait until I go inside.

I have to go all the way to Agha Chowk.

Don't worry!

You'll be safe with the Maulvis.

Keep it on!

There are soldiers everywhere.

Go.

May Allah be with you!

Girls are not allowed in the mosque.

I am a boy. Sikandar Raza. I have to get inside, fast.

Why are you dressed like a girl? There'll be an uproar inside.

Now will you let me go?

Yes.

Where are the Maulvis?

They are in the room at the far end of the mosque.

God! What's the world coming to these days?

So he didn't sing the Azaan, and since he didn't..

the sun didn't rise..

the people were upset, and then he was ordered..

to sing the Azaan, and so he did.

Sir, I'm Sikandar Raza.

We know who you are. You're Zahgeer's killer.

Don't worry son, you're under our protection.

Allah!

Allah!

This boy had a bomb in his school bag.

You filth!

I didn't do anything. I swear!

Welcome!

Congratulations, Brother Irshad!

But, where did he get the Burqa from?

The same place where he got the school bag bomb from.

Tell me about the girl you saw with him, at Saami Mohalla.

I don't remember too much.

They all look the same.

But, her eyes had a shine..

liquid brown.

Ah.. my darling daughter. My 'Flower of Kashmir'.

Its time you thought about her marriage.

She's my only true supporter.

But, one day you'll have to bid her goodbye.

Losing her will be like losing my life.

You love your daughter a lot, Mukhtar.

I love all the children of Kashmir.

Got it?

This one!

Mr. Mukhtar, please give me a few minutes.

Come in.

Thank you!

Why are you here?

Let me serve you from now on. I.. I have news.

What's the news?

There was a bombing in the Minar Mosque.

May Allah have mercy!

The Maulvis, what about them?

They are safe.. with Allah's blessings.

Who was it?

The same boy who killed Zahgeer.

The little bastard escaped..

Thank you, Allah. You are merciful.

Mr. Mukhtar, the army thinks he had help.

A young girl was seen with..

You..

are an intelligent man, Javed.

Kashmir needs men like you.

Thank you!

Mukhtar, you have to do something?

I'll leave for the Capital tomorrow morning..

and seek the help of my Party.

Only the devil would commit such an ungodly act!

I'll leave no stoned unturned to find this devil.

(Distance chartering)

Nothing here sir!

This is empthy too.

Search. Yes Sir!

Not here. Sir he can be there.

May be some other side.

Let's search in mountains.

Let' Go to mountains.

A fearless soldier will go to any length, to fulfill his mission.

I don't want to see even a single tear in your eyes.

"Flower of Kashmir"..

the path to heaven always passes through hell.

Are you alright?

I really loved that gun..

And, I can see..

you love it too!

Why me?

You are a small price to pay for peace.

Put the gun down.

You wanted to be a hero..

I did you a favor..

I put you in Zahgeer's path.

Zahgeer's death was an accident!

I just had to push the right buttons.

Nasreen, this time I'll shoot.

My daughter is a true soldier..

she doesn't fear death.

Go get the gun, my flower.

Kill me!

before they make me.. like you.

Shoot me!

We are safe now.

Gill Goti Raod. 9 AM. White Ambassador car. Take revange.

Let's go.
