Have you called for the
ambulance?

Yes. I have telephoned.
It should be coming.

Sir, I will phone once again
for the ambulance.

Place him in the verandah.

The ambulance should be coming
soon.

Halt here!

SK. It was very important for
this terrorist to stay alive.

I had told you so.

Yes, sir. But I am not
responsible for this.

He committed suicide. No one
killed him.

SK, he was in your charge.

Listen, to a prisoner death is
an option in face of extreme

Then, for that person there is
no fear of death.

And a prisoner should not be
pushed to that crossroad.

I am sorry sir, I was woken up
at midnight.

At what time did he commit
suicide?

In the evening, when the
prisoners come out.

When did you come to know?

At 8 P.M. When the cell was
found empty.

Was the cell open?

How did it remain open?

There will be a full enquiry,
sir.

What nonsense! What enquiry!

He has been with you for more
than 6 months

and you could not find out as
to which group he belonged to.

Veera, open the door.
Kripal has come.

Hi? - Hold this.

- What's this? - What happened?

Open your mouth.

Come on!

I will fix you.

What are you doing, boys? Is
this a place to play?

Salutations Biji.
- May you live long.

Don't play with this hard ball.
You may get hurt.

Biji, since my age of IO...

...you've been objecting to
Jaswant playing.

But he has not obeyed as yet.

As if you have obeyed
- I will readily obey.

Here, take this hockey stick
and straighten him out.

Oh! You traitor. - Shut up.

I will beat him, but the scars
will be on your back.

Do I not know the two of you?

Our love is eternal, like that
of Laila Majnu.

We will live and die together.

They neither lived nor died
together.

Then, I will cite another
example. What do you say?

Jaswant, son, please get Veera
married next Spring.

You were scolding them, why are
you picking on me?

If Pali settles down, your
brother may also follow suit.

They are one of a kind, after
all.

We will get married together.

Arrange a girl for him. We will
take the vows together

If he doesn't get married,
should Veera remain unmarried?

So what, after all she's in her
own home.

Even after marriage, where will
she go?

She will be staying here.

Will you turn him into a
live-in-brother-in-law?

Then let him make me the
live-in-brother-in-law.

Why are you coming here?

We will tell you.
You come with him.

What is the matter?
Why are you here?

What has happened?

You go to the back.
- What do you want?

What is the matter Khurana
sahib?

Is your name J.S. Randhawa?
- Yes. Jaswant Singh Randhawa.

I have to search your house.

But why?

We have heard you are
sheltering a terrorist.

Terrorist? What terrorist are
you talking about?

Your name?

What is he to you?

He is my sister's fiance.

How many persons are there in
the house?

I mean, how many members in
this family?

Are these all the people or is
there anyone inside?

There should be some servants?

Are there any visitors in this
house?

Vohra, why ask them? Talk to me.

Veera you go inside. Take Biji
with you.

He has run away from Delhi...

...after killing the Member of
Parliament Mr. Kedarnath.

What is the name you just
mentioned?

Is Jimmy here or have you
driven him away?

He is here. Come, I will get
him to meet you.

Be alert. - Yes sir.

This is Jimmy.

He does not recognize any M.P.

We begged him to contest the
elections. But he refused!

Oh Ram Singh. We dug a mountain
to catch a dog.

Next time, you must give him a
ticket for your party.

Come, let's go. Come.

Good. The introductions have
been made.

Come with me to the Police
Station.

- But why?
- Do not ask questions.

Just sit in the van.

- Make him sit inside.
- Now wait...

Why should he go to the Police
Station?

Nothing particular. He will be
back in half an hour.

We will let him go after asking
him a few questions.

Or else, we may have to search
your house.

And that might cost you dearly.

I will come with you.

He'll be back, I say... Don't
be a nuisance.

Forget it Pali.

Stay with Veera and Biji.
I will be back soon.

- But, my friend...
- Come, sit inside.

Sir, you go ahead.

- What happened? - Nothing?

- Why've they taken Jassi away?
- I'll explain, come inside.

But what has your friend done?

Nothing. Let's go inside.
I will tell you.

They said half an hour...

...and now it's three hours.

What is it, mister? Whom do you
want to meet?

Who is it? Let him come in.

Go on.

- What is it? - I have come
from Bhamandi.

The police have taken my friend
away.

They said they would free him
in half an hour.

It is more than three hours now
and there is no news.

- What has he done? - Nothing
sir.

Police were looking out for a
terrorist named Jimmy.

In the process, they landed at
our place.

- Was he hiding at your place?
- We do not know any Jimmy.

- Then who is Jimmy? - Our dog.

I couldn't get what you wanted.
But I've brought some meat.

Alright. Keep it inside.

What name did you say you
called your dog?

Why is the Police after your
dog?

Look sir, they were two officers

Inspectors - Khurana and Vohra.

Are they here or not?

There are no Inspectors by that
name here.

They may be at the Headquarters.

Hey! Do you want to file a
report?

He is perhaps in the vigilance
cell.

A senior officer!

He must either be in Chandigarh
or in Delhi.

Khurana said he'd be freed in
half an hour.

How can they let him just walk
away like that?

An M.P. Has been assassinated;
the PM will look into it.

An M.P. Is no ordinary citizen.

These terrorists are the limit,
you know.

Why must they mess with the
influential?

What did you say was his name?

- Kirpal Singh? - Yes, sir.

- Of Bhamandi? - Yes.

All right.

Is Jassi back?

Have courage...

God will set everything right.

Quiet... calm down.

The Law has been there, son,
from the beginning.

But today those keys do not
open any locks.

So people have risen up to
break them open.

So, what should we do?

I will file an appeal on your
behalf in court tomorrow...

But...

Sir, this is my right... Why do
you call it an appeal?

Without any reason, the Law has
picked up my friend, and you...

Not the Law, the Police.

He has not done any wrong.

His dog's name is Jimmy. That
is his only fault.

And the Police is after someone
called Jimmy...

They just carried him off.

It's 15 days... and there's
just no news or trace of him.

His mother has fallen
unconscious 1 O times.

His sister Veera has gone mad
crying her heart out...

Would you call this justice?

Is this not an abuse of the law?

By the Police? They are
supposed to uphold the law.

They can do so if there is law
and order.

There is no law on either side.

We're in the midst of a
guerrilla war...

...and the one who gets the
chance, makes a strike.

You... you can do nothing,
Professor sahib.

What are you doing, son?

Packing some clothes, grandpa.

Those two women are all alone
in their home.

- Any news about Jaswant?
- Not yet.

Does this gun still work?

It used to, when I went hunting
earlier.

When there is game to be
hunted, it will fire again.

Shall I wash some radish for
you?

No thank you, grandpa.

Live long son. Take care of
yourself.

And listen. Don't get impatient.

You lose your temper very
easily.

This is no hockey match. Do you
understand?

Live long son.

May I leave now, grandpa?

Hey! You rascal...!

What is it?

Why is Jimmy barking?

It's nothing.

Some animal must have strayed
into the field.

Don't worry... I am here... You
go to sleep.

Pali!

Good Lord! What they have done
to you?!

- They have beaten you up a
lot? - Yes, my friend.

Jassi! What have they done to
you...?

Brother...

Please do not tell mother.

Please don't tell my mother
about this.

Conditions are getting worse
than they were during the

What can anyone say?

The one who suffers knows how
it hurts.

If somebody breaks the law...
then he could be punished.

But who will take punishment
for one's innocence? The

Do terrorists grow in fields?

You saw him, didn't you?

This is how terrorists are born.

This bloody country does not
seem like ours anymore.

This government is not ours.

They come, they roam, they are
on tours...

...Iike those foreigners who
ruled us!

Do these people really belong
to this country?

They come like landlords with
guards and guns.

Hacking every head that is
raised at them!

That is how they behave!

- Does it burn? - Yes.

Did they beat you badly?

Yes.

With their hands?

Yes.

And kick with their boots?

Yes.

And did they hit you with rods?

Stop it now!

The more you hear, the more you
will weep.

At times I wished they had shot
me dead, for the better.

I know Pali cannot bear to see
me in this condition.

Once, you know, Veera, we...

I know.

I know, you two have risked
your lives for each other.

Yes. Pali is feeling utterly
helpless.

If he had his way, he would...

- Yes? - What are you doing?

Nothing... Hey, what are you
doing? Leave it alone!

- Let go, I say - What are you
up to?

I'm doing nothing... just leave
it alone!

Whom will you kill?

- Let go, I say! - Let me go...

Veera! What the hell are you
doing?!

Wait, Veera! Don't be crazy!

Mother, has Pali come?

These days I do not know when
Pali comes or goes.

He doesn't even meet me.

I know he cannot bear to see my
wounds.

But he could have at least met
me.

He rubbed balm on my wounds and
left.

He has not come after that.
It is eight days now.

Is it? Then who has been
driving the tractor?

These days, Veera is looking
after the work in the fields.

Has she learnt to drive the
tractor? When did she learn?

- There's some more outside.
- Yes, madam.

Give it to me dear, give it to
me.

Come here, come little Veera.

When did you learn to drive the
tractor?

Kripal taught you? Where is he?

It is now eight days, he has
not turned up here.

I do not know. Even grandpa had
no news.

May I go to enquire from
grandpa?

No. Let it be.

How can you go alone to that
village?

I do not know where he has gone.

While going, he said he was
going to Anandpur Gurudwara.

Or he would go to the Golden
Temple at Amritsar to pray.

He wanted to know Jeeta's
whereabouts before he left.

Who is this Jeeta?

Here, take some jaggery and
flour.

When he returns home, I will
get you two married. Even then

- Who is Jeeta? - Surjit Singh,
his uncle's son.

But one does not hear good
things about him.

Why? What does he do?

He does not do anything. That
is the problem.

He's educated, but he could not
get a job.

He wandered about aimlessly.

We heard that he had got
himself involved with those

I do not know where he is
now... in Amritsar or in Canada?

This house will be ready by the
time you two get married.

Come, I will escort you home.

These are bad times.

I do not know who has cast an
evil eye on my Punjab.

You must not come here alone.

See, how the village is
deserted once the sun sets.

And all the doors are bolted
from inside.

Earlier, we could hear drums
beating joyously every evening.

Boys wrestled in all kinds of
games everywhere.

I wonder what games with Fate
they are playing now.

Sir... sir. Did you forget your
camera in the bus?

The camera that was strapped
around your neck?

May be you have left it in the
bus?

Look, Pali. It has begun to
rain again.

The weather is as unpredictable
as your mood.

This place is a paradise,
Nanu uncle.

If I had my way, I would settle
down here.

What would you do here? Graze
cattle?

What is wrong with that? If a
Prince could graze cattle,

...so can we.

Wow! What nice words.

Then you can also bring your
Princess here.

- I mean, Veera
- I don't know, uncle.

How long has it been
- one year?

It is one year since we came
here.

I had seen her 4 or 5 months
before that.

You still miss her a lot.
Don't you?

Yes.

Bear with it. God will find a
way.

Okay, uncle, but how can God
help?

How can God set things right,
uncle?

Is it possible that the lost
year is regained?

That we can return to our homes.

- Sanathan does not agree.
- Where did you meet Sanathan?

Where did he meet me? I
approached him myself.

Where?

I could have returned home
already.

I had met him in a cafe on the
highway.

Earlier, I had seen him on a
bus, but the last time...

- Sir, what is your name?
- What is the matter?

I have seen you before.

You may have. My photographs
often appear in the newspapers.

You...

Why are you bothering me? Go
mind your own business.

May I say something?

I wanted to ask you something.
Just listen, please.

Look, sir... I mean no harm,
nor am I armed.

You may frisk me.

Perhaps, you can help me.

I have set out to look out for
someone. Can we talk alone?

- Come on. - May I go get my
bag?

- Who else is with you? - I
swear on God, I am alone.

Saran is pretty far away...
isn't it?

We'll make it somehow.

Nobody gives you a ride these
days.

They just don't trust anyone
anymore.

Hop aboard... Iet's go, sir.

Get in, Sanatan... Bless the
Lord.

Halt!

Check it out.

- What's in there? - Nothing...
just our boys.

We aren't carrying any goods.

- Take a look, if you wish.
- Let them go.

So long, sir... thank you.

Go on!

Did Sanatan know... you're in
the truck?

Yes.

- Who does the truck belong to?
- Our chief.

- Who's that? - The one driving
it.

He always drives it on his own.

What's... in those gunny bags?

Pomegranates.

Oh no. They're apples.

They're hand grenades.

Country made. We make them.

Sanatan is quite an expert.

Come on, boys.

Carry these fruits carefully.

What place is this?

Come, you will soon find out.

How are you related to Jeeta?

He is my cousin. My uncle's son.

He used to be... not "'is"'.

You have come in search of
Jeeta or his killers?

I killed Jeeta.

Having infiltrated the Police
security...

...he became a bloody Police
informer.

He turned a traitor. Bastard!

He got five of my boys killed.

Look, I will also kill twenty
five of his family members.

You are one of them. Aren't you?

What have you come here for?

I do not know why.

Actually, I... the Police took
my friend away.

The Inspector's name was
Khurana.

When Jassi returned after
fifteen days...

...he had wounds inflicted by
Police were all over him.

I could not bear to see his
condition.

That's why I came out... hoping
Jeeta would help me.

When I recall Khurana's face...

...my blood boils.

And when I see Veera's face,
I...

She is your fiancee -
Randhawa's sister. Jaswant

I told the Commander
everything... after we met last

There were two of them, right?
Khurana and Vohra?

What will you do, now that
Jeeta is no more?

Will you go and lick your
friend's wounds?

Or will you be impotent and
grovel before the police?

Or will you become the target
of their bullets?

What else can he do?

Why have you come to us?

If you want to kill Khurana...
kill him yourself.

We can protect you.

But remember: If you double
cross us...

Randhawa, Veera, Biji your
grandpa...

...they'll all be on our hit
list.

We destroy the poisonous weed
from its very roots...

...so there is no trace
remaining.

Go, think this over at leisure.

What is it? Why do you always
pull at my bag?

- I'm not carrying gold!
- Why don't you show me? I won't!

Hot-blooded chap, really.

Why did you thrust the gun in
his hand?

Don't you know how to use it?

Come on... you'll learn.

Well? Cricketer, indeed!

Give it to him properly; that
is no cricket-ball.

That's Kuldip... he loves
risking his life.

The son-of-a-gun.

That's Jaimal.

This is Vazira.

You have already met him.

Don't ever challenge me.

Come on.

Yasin...

He's from the other side of the
fence... my teacher.

He's the one who has trained me
in these explosives.

Here you are... pick up
whatever you like.

- Pick up. - Go on.

Touch it... it keeps your hands
warm.

Come along.

While in school, in a
classroom, the teacher asked

...how did we win our
Independence?

With bloodshed, I responded.

I was a kid then.

But I remember the Partition,
the division, very well.

The teacher punished me.
And again asked the class:

Who gave us our freedom?

Now tell me; does anyone have a
simple answer to that?

Was there a single person who
wielded the stick...

...and secured us our freedom?

And came to us and said,

"Here, I have brought to you
your freedom, now share it."

It's our forefathers who were
killed; our blood that was shed.

It's our homes that were
destroyed.

And they give credit for our
Independence to someone else!

Give this to me.

What is the name of your
political party?

I do not have any party.

I am not fighting for any faith
or any country.

I'm fighting against my
helplessness, and against being

This system wants to take away
our manhood. But I am not a

Our parents arrived here,
battered and homeless...

...from across the border, to
be trampled upon here too.

We had returned to our homes,
to our own country, isn't it?

And what were we branded?
- Refugees.

They said we sought refuge...
The mother...

It is we who brought them
freedom...

...by sacrificing all our land
and property.

And what did they do...? Except
sign documents?

Inspector Khurana has been
transferred.

- Where to? - Khanna.

Appears to be a temporary
posting. Maybe for a year.

Is one year too long? Don't
worry.

Your hands will steady in a
year.

And we will record his
movements till then.

There is always tight security
around him.

We will see.

Whom has security
protected so far?

There are the unguarded moments.

He too must have them.
Come.

The country is not
self-sufficient

though some persons have
certainly become

Electricity, water, housing,
medicine, justice, education...

which of these things can the
common man afford?

6O percent of our people still
live below the poverty line.

They are not only poor, but
unfortunate, too.

It is now more than 4O years
since Independence.

How much longer do they
want us to wait?

Is there anyone above the
Chief...

...controlling this movement?

What movement?

Well... of the country,
religion, how would you

Listen, lad, when a man is
denied justice for too long...

...and there is no respite...
he can't fight it alone.

He then brings together
like-minded, persecuted

...sometimes under the banner
of his village or town or...

...in the name of caste or
religion, or country.

But the fight is against
injustice. And it can be

throughout history. This has
been always happened and will

Then what is the law for?

Has any problem ever been
resolved by the law?

You've heard of those enquiry
commissions, haven't you?

They go on endlessly for years
together.

Are you saying this battle will
never end?

It is not over yet.

I am not fighting for the
future generations.

I want my rights.

While I am alive, right now, at
this moment.

Excuse me.

Yes madam, what else do you
want?

- Do you have all the lentils?
- They're all ready.

Whole Bean?

- Dharam Singh. - Yes, boss.

- Measure two kilograms of
beans. - Right away, sir.

And fetch me a basket, also.

Your husband hasn't come
today... He comes on most

He has come with me. He's
buying the vegetables.

He must be buying meat
and fish also.

- Salutations, sir.
- Greetings.

Let me carry the stuff, sir.

No, thank you. I serve our
masters everyday.

Allow me to serve my wife today.

Hey! Keep quiet.

- Well? Have you got
everything? - Yes.

- Greetings, sir. - How are you?

All is well by your grace, sir.

What is all this you have
bought?

Vegetables... chicken that eats
vegetarian lentils and rice.

- Can chicken ever be
vegetarian? - Don't you know?

Like you and me, they are
vegetarian and non vegetarian.

Don't eat it, if you don't want
to... hey, relax.

- But you'll cook it, won't
you? - All right.

- Give me your wallet. - Here
it is... take it.

And what are you doing?
Set it down.

- How much is it?
- Rupees 27 O.

Let's go.

Here is your money...

Khurana... have you found Jimmy?

Biji! What are you up to? Where
is your walking stick?

It's lying there, behind your
bed.

You are the limit. You could
have called out to me.

So what?

I used Pali's hockey stick...

It feels as if he is here,
holding my hand.

Take this and give me that.

God knows where he has gone.

He will return, mother.

Where are you going at this
time of the night?

I am going to the temple to
pray.

My mind is restless.

I am missing Pali very much
today.

He will come back Biji, Pali
will come back.

Why are the Police patrolling
here?

I've been noticing them for the
last four to five days.

They seem to be around in the
whole village.

I went to see Pali's
grandfather yesterday...

...and found the police even
there.

God protect us. Veera is alone.
Go inside.

Brother! Pali...

- Pali? - Yes.

Is Pali here?!

Pali! My friend...!

Where have you been?

Where were you? What have you
been doing?

We have been in agony,
...worrying about you.

We went crazy thinking about
you.

The horrid things that crossed
our minds!

We imagined the worst! Where
were you, my friend?

How will I tell you...?

I have gone away too far out,
Jassi.

I have...

I have killed Khurana.

He took you away from here,
didn't he?

He had kicked you,
hadn't you?

I could not bear that.

It made my blood boil with rage.

Has it Cooled down then?

Veera, go and get Pali
something to eat.

My friend has reduced to half
his size.

I will not go... I want to stay
here.

I have crossed the limits. I
cannot return now.

I'll never be able to.

Get Veera married to someone
else.

Into a good family.

I will be grateful to you.

People in the temple were
whispering...

...that Pali has joined the
terrorists.

They have all gone mad.

They say this Police patrol is
looking out for Pali.

I do not believe a word. When
Pali returns to see you...

...I will question him.

Mom has returned from the
temple.

I should be running along.

Or else there will be trouble
for all of you.

What have you done, my friend?

With whom can I ever leave Biji
and Veera?

You will do nothing of the kind.

Promise me that you have to go
no further.

I've my grandfather, too. You
must look after him also.

Where have you to go? I will
drop you there.

You must not leave this place.

Jassi... you will make Veera
see reason, won't you?

She's very strong-willed girl.

Won't you even meet her?

What are you doing here?! Where
are you going?

Why? Can't I go with you?

We can get married anywhere.

It's okay even if we can't.

If you accept me as your
wife... that is sufficient for

It's you I will take the vows
with.

Don't be foolish, Veera. Do you
know what lies in store for me?

I know.

I'm moving about... with my
death stalking me.

Are you afraid of death?

Yes. I am scared... Without
you... all on my own.

It's very difficult to die all
alone.

Then let me join you, too.

Take me along, Pali... Please!

Please don't refuse.

I want to die with you... I
swear.

Don't make it difficult for me
to leave, Veera.

Or else I will die somewhere
here.

Keep it.

Sat Sri Akaal (Truth is
Timeless)

Praise be to all Gurus.

Go, get in.

We had to abandon the farm
house...

...for fear of the Police
discovering our hideout.

Did you know where I was all
these days?

Yes. But I did not know how far
the police had got.

They know you were at the
Gurudwara.

You have them hot on your heels.

If it wasn't for this disguise,
you'd have been caught by now.

But why are the Police looking
for me?

For Khurana.

How do they know that I have
done that?

Do not go back to your village
again.

The police is keeping a strict
vigil.

Remember Inspector Vohra?

I do.

Your village come under his
jurisdiction.

And Jaswant?

Vohra has detained him again.

I must return... Biji and Veera
will be alone.

You do not worry about them.
They are under my care.

Your grandfather is also with
them.

And Jaswant? The Police will
beat him to pulp on my account.

And what about you? Do you
think they will spare you?

What can they do? Just kill me,
isn't it?

The Police won't kill you.

The police did not kill
Jeeta... Remember?

Leave the Punjab and go away to
Himachal Pradesh.

Where is Sanathan?

Never ask about where people
are, son.

Nor must you ever memorize them.

We do not write love letters to
each other.

Go away to Himachal.

There is work to be done there.
There is a mission for you.

You will come across someone at
Manikaran.

Nanu! Nanu uncle...

Yes, it's time for my flock...
I must go.

It has stopped snowing. I
suggest you get moving.

- Have Jaimal and the others
left? - Vazira is still here.

Nanu uncle... where is my gun?

Jaimal Singh must have taken it.

You fell asleep outside with
the gun beside you.

It could still be there.

Sanathan will take me to task
if you tell him.

Sanathan has left for the
garage long ago.

I must be off.

- Sat Sri Akaal, sir.
- Sat Sri Akaal.

Offerings from the temple.

Are you coming from the
Gurudwara?

Put it in my mouth.

Where were you guys last night?

We went to see Nanu uncle.

We thought you would come
there, too.

I was working till late in the
night.

Any word from the Chief?

- About what? - Some mission.

What mission have all of us
been summoned here for?

I myself know nothing at the
moment.

Except that someone is going to
join us.

- He's a missile-shooter. - And
where are the missiles?

They'll arrive soon.

Sir, I am being offered a job
in the local school.

Shall I take it?

Are you mad?

Every newspaper has published
your photographs.

You are now a dreaded terrorist.

The promotion of a lot of
Police Officers depends on

The officers are getting quick
promotions nowadays.

How?

They kill anyone... and call it
an encounter.

They have a thick dossier ready.

No one sees it or identifies
the dead...

...but they get their
promotions.

Sir, if people have no say...

...of what use is this
democracy?

Can't people do anything about
it?

No revolution was ever ignited
with damp sticks!

Sticks?

Sticks... Match sticks; which
light a lamp...

...and even funeral pyres.

When you find them damp...

...we must strike them again
and again, till they ignite.

- What are you carrying in
that? - Milk.

- Whose milk? - Buffalo milk.

That's not what he means... Who
does it belong to?

- It's yours? - Yes.

Then give me a glass of milk.

We were waiting for tea, but
the milk got curdled.

It's someone else's...

What difference will one glass
make?

You can always add some water
from the Beas river here.

Why have you soldered this?

That's because...

Open it. Come on!

Something's wrong! Make a call!
Quick!

- What's the license number?
- It is Punjab... PUF 621.

It appears to be some missile
material.

He was coming from Leh...

and was going towards the
Punjab.

Yes, the vehicle surely had a
Punjab license.

We have extracted the
motorcycle from the Beas

We are not sure about the
rider. He must have died or

But we are still searching.

Instead of heading here, I went
towards the hills.

You could have abandoned the
motorcycle and just disappeared.

Actually, I...

...I was scared, you know.

The moment they opened fire...
I thought it was the end for me.

They blew off a piece of flesh
with the bullet.

I'm glad it didn't rip through
the leg.

Make sure you sleep outside...
far away from one another.

If they get hold of a clue,
they could raid the house.

Shall we move the stuff we have
inside to Nanu's place?

It's not safe to take it there.

Keep a watch, Kirpal. I'll go
and take a look around.

- Brother... - What is it?

- Please send me back.
- Where?

I'll return to my village and
go away to Canada thereafter.

Idiot. Is this the time to run
away?

I swear, I'm scared!

All this appeared so thrilling
from a distance.

I had never encountered death
at close quarters.

Please send me back!

Do you realize, you could be
the cause of our deaths?

Not at all. My passport and
visa were all ready when I...

Then why didn't you go?

They had made me remove my
turban to search me at the

That made me livid.

Look, have you read this?

14 Hindus were picked up and
removed from a bus.

They were riddled with bullets
and left to rot by the roadside.

I'm not going to be taken in by
these acts of the politicians.

All this doesn't happen on its
own; it is orchestrated.

And those who provoke this,
have no connection with any

They are only worried about
their votes.

They have always divided us...
and we keep getting divided.

They once imposed a Division on
us on the grounds of Hindus and

Will they divide us again in
the name of Hindus and Sikhs?

How many little pieces will
they divide us into?

I am their flesh and blood... a
part of their body!

If they think they can just cut
me and discard me...

...won't it hurt them, too?

For generations, our marriages
were solemnized in the

My elder brother, the first in
the line, was a Sikh.

Then who am I?

Where is that... brother of
yours?

Where are your folks?

The partition swallowed half of
them...

And the operation of '84
devoured the other half.

- Salutations, brother. - May
you live long.

These wounds have healed. Only
the scars remain.

May I leave?

I will drop you at Sunder Nagar
tomorrow.

You can take a bicycle from
Lakhbir's shop.

Take the inner roads to your
village.

"It's days since he is
returning to his home"

Well? Who's returning? Whom are
you singing for?

It's Kuldip, of course.

He bothered me when he was
around; and he bothers me, now

I'm missing him a lot.

He must have reached home by
now.

Yes. He got onto the bicycle
and turned towards his village.

The open air of the fields and
the gentle scent of the

...and those little yellow
flowers appearing like

- What time is it? - It is well
past the time.

Kedarnath is arriving on the
l3th of March.

- Which Kedarnath? - That
Kedarnath of 1984 riots.

He was an M.P. Then. He is a
minister now.

The same Kedarnath who was
attacked by Jimmy in Delhi

...but escaped?

He's coming to the Gurudwara to
offer his thanks on becoming a

All damn hypocrites! They are
acting all the time!

He has to cross the bridge to
go to Manikaran.

It is an ideal location to
knock him out.

His car may be bullet proof.

That is why we have arranged
for missiles and a shooter.

When is the missile shooter
arriving?

He's already here; in the back
of the truck.

I will drop you both at the
marketplace.

You can take charge from there.

Oh Jaimal! What are you doing
here?

I have been watching you.

What are you thinking of?

My mother loved snow and she
often said so.

I am reminded of her
continuously since this morning.

Why don't you go to visit her?

I'll have to run away again and
that will cause her pain.

She will have to bear another
parting.

Why don't you tell me... whom
did you kill and run away?

During the 1984 riots, they
tied my father with his own

...put a burning tire around
his neck...

...and burnt him to ashes.

My mother had locked me up in
the house.

I wanted to go out and save him.

She has still preserved his
remains.

She has not immersed them in
the river. A few days after

I was in the first year.

My mother forcibly clipped off
my long hair.

My Hindu friends in college
felt terribly guilty about it.

They stopped cracking jokes
about the Sikhs.

My Mom would sit beside me
every night...

...and run her fingers through
my hair.

She used to weep.

All through the night she would
recite holy verses.

But whom did you kill? Who was
murdered?

There was this M.P. Who lived
in our housing society.

I had seen him running away
from the crowd earlier.

My father had cried to him for
help.

But he had gone and hid in his
house.

Had only he helped...

I began to quietly carry my
dad's knife hidden in my books.

And one day, I pierced it into
his stomach!

I threw my books and fled.

Are you talking about the M.P.,
Kedarnath?

Yes.

But he was...

Are you the one called Jimmy?

Yes. Jimmy is the name they
called me there.

What is it, Pali?

Nothing.

No one knows what God has
decreed for us.

- It has started snowing again.
- Yes. The weather changes

- Salutations, sir.
- Salutations.

- My respects, sir.
- May you live long.

Have you dropped Kuldeep?

He has already reached.

Could you meet anyone else?

I met the Commander.

When is our 6th companion
arriving?

We are five now. Kuldeep is not
here.

When is the missile shooter
arriving?

- He has already arrived.
- What?

He is here.

- Where is he?
- Outside.

Yes...?

Virendar... Veera!

Are you Kripal's Veera, then?

- Where's Pali? - He's outside.
He'll eat later.

- Why doesn't he eat with us?
- Shut up.

Sister-in-law...

Have your food, too.

Please go ahead, brother...
I'll eat with him.

That's enough.

- Veera... - Yes?

May I call you that?...Veera?

That's what they called me at
home.

The young and the old alike.

You never told me on the way
that you are Veera.

Kirpal's Veera.

I didn't know he's here, too.

I wasn't told.

I was sent here straight from
the training camp.

Treat this as your home now.

Although such a place was never
meant for you.

Now that it is... how can we
help it?

They're like your
brothers-in-law.

I'm the eldest in the family.

Take care of Kirpal.

He's been depressed since this
evening.

Very well.

- Have some food. - Have you
eaten?

I'll eat later.

Sit down with me and eat.

Here you are... Eat this.

You eat.

How is Biji?

- She's no more.
- What happened?

They arrested Jassi a second
time.

You know that, don't you?

Yes. I had heard that, but...

She could not take it anymore.

What harm had we done to
anyone...

...that we have been pushed
into this hell?

Our homes have been destroyed.

How is Jassi?

I can imagine what his
condition must be.

But any news about him?

- Eat your dinner first.
- Did someone go to see him?

Did you go to see him?

What's happened to him?

Why don't speak? What has
happened to him?

Tell me! What has happened to
Jassi?

I went once to see him.

The Police had tortured him
very badly.

From his appearance, one could
not tell.

But when he tried to get up,
...he wobbled.

He could barely stand.

One heard that the police had
beaten him up mercilessly.

He could not bear that
anymore... His will to live had

He jumped into a well in the
jail, and committed suicide.

What could I have done all
alone?

You know what happens to women
...who are all alone.

That Inspector, Vohra, began to
visit the house every day...

...inquiring about you.

One day, I sent grandfather to
his home, and I escaped...

...and following your
footsteps, have arrived here.

What happened?

Will you fasten this somewhere.
I want to dry these clothes.

Where should I fasten it? Let's
tie it there.

Be careful.

Pull it tight, okay?...here
you are.

- Veera. - Yes?

What is that black thread
around your neck?

This? Consider it as my sacred
wedding thread.

Go to sleep, Vazira. I'll keep
the watch.

Why did you come here?

You felt awkward, sleeping with
those men around, right?

It was awkward sleeping like
that in your presence.

Is that why you came out? To
freeze in this chill?

Wrap this around.

You've caught a cold.

So have you.

I got it from you.

- It's terribly cold, isn't it?
- Yes.

Look at the smoke from the
mouth when one speaks.

Let me see your Wedding Thread.

Is this what you are married
do? To cyanide?

Naughty!

And what did you think? That
I'd go and get married?

This is something even I am
married to. Look at this.

What's up? Are you jealous?

- My enemy be jealous!
- Enemy or Death?

It was easy dying without you
around.

Your arrival has made it
difficult for me.

I want to live now.

- Let me see... - What's that?

What are you up to?

Did that hurt?

Did that hurt?

I've warmed some water for
drinking.

Say, sis-in-law... what's for
breakfast today?

Pancakes!

Have fun, buddie! You're out of
the kitchen.

And we're even getting
home-cooked food.

- Where do I keep this plate...
- Keep it there. I'll wash it.

Ever since you've come, I've
begun to worry about security.

Earlier there were only boys
around. So there was no worry.

Please don't worry about me.

I can manage this house...

...and even carry out the
assignment given to me.

Do you want to subject me to
any test?

The test will be on...

...that not far off day...

...when our lives will be at
stake.

I wonder who amongst us will
survive, who will go!

I will say my good-byes in the
name of Allah before leaving.

He speaks the language of those
from across the border.

He was trained by them and got
trapped there by Nafeesa.

Sir, what do you mean trapped?

Sorry, mate. He was totally
smitten by her.

It is a matter of heart, after
all.

It beats with the same rhythm
everywhere.

In her memory, therefore, he
pens...

...and sings romantic couplets
all the time.

You keep pulling my leg. What
about you?

You have not forgotten your
Gurnaam either!

- Where is Kripal? - He has
gone to see Nanu.

Veera is all alone. Stay with
her.

Dear brother, don't get angry.
He was just joking.

But who is this Nafeesa?

You too have started the same...

Could there be secrets between
a brother and a sister-in-law?

Tell me. I will arrange for you
to meet her.

She is on the other side of the
border.

She was beautiful.

She recited the Koran divinely.
Everytime I heard her recite...

...I wanted to convert to Islam.

Then why did you come back?

You should have stayed there.

Why worry about religion?

And which faith can be greater
than love?

Some people there thrashed me
very badly on this account...

...they would have killed me.

But Nafeesa helped me escape.

See this. It belonged to her.

Give it to me. - No. I...

Well, Pali? What are you doing
here?

I came to meet you, of course!

Come on.

Your sheep's seem to be experts.

One cry, and they're all on the
bridge.

They're from Arabia; I take
them out twice a day.

Now tell me... How is Veera?

She's fine.

We're so close to death... but
we're together.

- That feels nice. - Didn't I
tell you?

God will set everything right.

- You can even marry her now.
- I certainly will, uncle.

- If not to her, then... - Then?

Well... I meant, of course.
When will we, if not now?

I get it.

What are you searching for?

I used to have a fiancee... a
nagging one. I wonder where

It is now around my neck.

Veera! What have you done?

Why will I let my rival be with
you, when I am around?

Sorry. This spilled...

Veera... Iet's get married.

We may not have music, of
course.

But we can have plenty of
fireworks.

We can explode a few bombs.

Shall I talk to the priest?

All right. I was told that
spinsters land only in hell!

- What was that? - She goes to
hell.

I can't hear you.

She goes to hell if she remains
unmarried!

Let us go behind those
mountains. Okay? Far away!

What route do we take?

The road there will lead to
behind the mountains.

Come, let's go there.

That place? That's Kulu there.

Let's go from there.

That car is waiting there.

Tell Ramsingh to keep the car
ready.

Let's go, Ramsingh.

We'll be home, soon.

The car will be there. Your
luggage is packed, too.

Why must I bore you?

Go ahead... go to Dharmshala
and see the Dalai Lama's ashram.

Who knows if you will get to
come here again.

Since you are here now, you
might as well make the trip.

You must join us, too.

Give Aditya to me.

Come, my dear, come to me.

Sir, there is a phone for you
from the boss.

I am the boss here. Whose call
is it?

It's from the Senior in
Chandigarh.

It is perfectly safe, sir. I
have checked everything myself.

The minister can come anytime
he wishes to.

I have sent Simi and the child
to Dharamshala...

...to visit the Dalai Lama
commune.

If he is there, they may even
get his blessings.

Let them experience that
ambience and atmosphere too.

They deserve it after what the
work they see us at.

Yes... they're always playing
with guns and pistols.

Even their toys are the same.

You are right, sir, they are
not to be blamed.

What else would they find in a
Police Officer's home?

If I did not have to wield the
gun...

...I may have taken up the pen.

Yes sir, I loved poetry while
in the college.

Who wants to be a trigger-happy
man?

We kill the man's good deeds,
as we wipe out the sinner.

Yes sir, I will reach there.
I will report tomorrow.

Give my regards to wife, sir.

Vohra! You bastard!

Take him.

Come along!

Is that all? - There is more,
sir.

- Bring it up.
- Yes sir.

There's a lady among them.

The bastard divulged everything
in one night.

He will never open his mouth.
I can swear by that.

He will never speak.
He knows I am here.

- How could he talk? - You are
are involved in this.

Vazira saw him going to the
Guest House...

...where the Police Officer is
staying.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Seal it up.

Jeeta did the same thing.
Exactly the same thing.

Or why did he not bite the
cyanide?

Why did he not kill himself
before being captured?

I suspect both of you.

Remember, he will never be able
to reach the jail.

Throw her up on the terrace.

I'll tell you what to do with
her, later.

Come up...

The Commander has been
informed. He will deal with

If you don't receive word from
him till 9 in the morning...

...then get rid of her.

Reach the bridge at IO A.M.
Kedarnath will be there.

- Kedarnath?!
- Yes. "Your" M.P.

He is a minister now.

Is he alive?

He escaped then... Let's go.
You come with me.

Drive them out of our way!

Get this chap to go away!

Who is it?

Where are you?

This girl is his fiancee.

That much, I am certain about.

She wants to meet Kripal.

We may discover something
through her.

Something about their group.

- Where? In the visitors' room?
- No. Not the visitors' room.

It wouldn't be right to bring
him there in his present state.

Search her thoroughly.

Make sure that she does not
carry any weapon inside.

Let them meet in the cell
itself.

Take her to Barrack No.2

Find out only where she stays
and with whom.

But keep a distance. Don't get
close.

I've brought your pill.

Take it in your mouth.

I cannot bear this anymore.

All right! The time is up!
