Take it out.
No, sir. I won't take it out.
I'll go to hell if I touched it.
You take it.
We're extremely sorry, sir.
It's not our bank's fault, sir.
We've sent many reminders...
...but nobody came to collect it.
- Second round. -They are going to lose again.
Hurry up.
Come, come. Come on.
Hurry up. What are you doing?
Buck up, Doctor. Otherwise I'll have to bear your expenses as well.
- I'm coming. - Don't just walk. Run.
Yes, I'm coming.
What is this? We lose every time because of this physician.
Look at him!
Come, come.
Physician, do try your remedies on yourself too.
- You've lost again. - We beat you.
Sit. Sit.
Now there's no hurry.
Quick, empty your pockets. Hurry up.
Hold on. What's the hurry?
- Hurry up. - Come on.
- Here. Give this to him. - Here.
This is just for breakfast. What about tea?
Here. I'll pay for the tea.
Hashmat, from tomorrow onwards I'll be in your team.
These people walk too slowly.
- Fine. Next time, come on my team and defeat them. - Thanks.
Keep him with you. We don't want such a weak player.
What? I'm weak?
As if you all are very strong.
Today don't say anything. Eat this apple.
It'll restore your lost youth, so that next time we will win.
Your habit of eating an apple everyday, instilled by Dr. Banerjee...
...is what makes you win everyday.
Hats off to Doctor Sahab.
They gave a lot of good advice. It's me who can't follow it.
You are lucky, Hashmat.
You have Dr. Banerjee with you.
We have this doctor.
What happened?
Who asked you to catch the ball?
It was my third boundary in a row. You've broken my hat-trick record.
Sorry.
Dear, he thought it's an apple and not a ball.
What good is a record of hat-trick boundaries?
Break Shaheed Afridi's record for the fastest century if you want to.
Go and play.
Well said.
Nobody can beat the Pakistani team in making and breaking records.
Remember?
The last ball's six was hit by Javed Miandad in Sharjah.
Yes. If the Pakistani team's two to four players join your team...
...then you'll surely defeat us.
The Pakistani team is truly the best team.
But Sachin is a cut above the rest.
Hello, Mr. Rizvi.
Tell me.
In Lucknow?
Why?
Okay.
I've always finished your work on time.
A big order?
Fine.
Send it. I'll finish it.
Yes. Thanks.
Bye.
Leaving early?
Yes, Father. I have some urgent work.
At least wash your bike. It's so dirty.
You should look after your vehicle the way you look after your children.
Only then will both of them be healthy.
The vehicle, as well as you.
- May I leave, Father? - Yes.
Don't turn the accelerator too hard.
Bye, Father.
Shut up. Just shut up!
It might be happening at your place.
Our servants are not like that.
Better be careful from next time before entering my room.
Okay, don't shout. He won't do it again.
Now what are you looking at? Get out.
Mevalal, please leave.
Rafat.
No, its not your fault, we are responsible for everything.
Coming, Father. Yes, Father.
Go and load Mr. Kuswala's stuff in the machine. Okay?
- I'll go. - Okay.
Aara.
- Aara. - I'm not yet dead. I'm coming. Aara, Aara...
What's God punishing us for?
Even now when we are hale and hearty, our plight is like this.
These people might throw us out when we grow old.
Then they should have thrown us out a long time ago.
I don't like this unnecessary bickering.
It's all your doing.
I told you repeatedly not to marry her into a family based in Lucknow.
Now we suffer.
Hear her English nonsense the whole day.
We won't understand it even if she abuses us.
What are you searching for?
I wore your specs by mistake. Both look similar.
What do I do with this bunch of postcards?
I have to take it to the shop.
Hasmat, again, the same postcards?
You should have written on plain paper...
...and then get it photocopied from Khayali's shop.
"There is commotion everywhere."
- "Find out what's the matter." - Is that so?
"Find out why the fire's still burning."
"The person who was sharing the destination's whereabouts."
"The person who was sharing..."
"...the destination's whereabouts."
Nobody knows where he is. Find out.
Well said. Well said, Hashmat.
That's the reality of today's times.
Small, beautiful and cheap.
It says a lot in a few words.
Nothing to hide.
- Very good. - Here.
Keep it in the box.
And please check thoroughly.
Otherwise Mr. Kasuri will get a chance to point out flaws.
You've prefixed his name with "Nawab", haven't you?
There won't be any problem.
Chaudha Peer... Yearly...
Read it properly.
In the yearly celebrations of Chaudha Peer..
...enjoy a performance of Sufi renditions...
Chairman, Nawab... Mohammed Ali Kasuri.
Maulana (Priest of the mosque) Abdul Qayyum...
...Querishi... General secretary, Hashmat, Allah.
Read it properly.
Why are you so scared of Kasuri?
You are the General Secretary.
Hashmat, this time you should contest the election for the chairman's post.
You'll surely win.
We're there with you. We'll ensure that you win.
No way. Did you forget?
A long time ago my elder brother had defeated him in the elections.
We're not on talking terms till date.
It's all in his head.
They were thick friends.
Yet, he didn't even attend my brother's funeral.
I don't want to repeat all that.
You people have honoured me...
...by electing me as secretary.
Anyway, I don't have any desires.
You should stay at bay from rich people.
I've heard that there was a dog who didn't eat the butter offered by his master.
He shot him.
Your brother used to work there.
How can these people tolerate their servant defeating them?
- Mr. Kasuri has come. - Where?
Got scared?
Are you joking?
Hindustan Engineering Works?
Yes. Tell me.
Mr. Rizvi has sent us.
Yes. Have you brought the engine?
Yes.
Bring it. Bring it here.
There.
The power is back.
Now move on, he will be busy now in his work.
Okay, okay. We're leaving. Even we have loads of work to do.
Salim. Write the name on the engine.
Okay, Mr. Hashmat.
It's in very bad condition.
Can it be repaired?
Why not?
I think this is a Ford V8 engine. What do you say, Zulfi?
I too think so. Double head engine.
Either Mr. Belwarial or Mr. Rizvi would know.
Is there a steel guard in front of the car?
Yes.
I'm sure this is a 60 to 70-year-old engine of a lorry.
Yes. It's a museum car.
Sir, sir...
Are you the owner or an employee?
I don't understand.
I wanted to know what work you do.
In English, I'm a matriculation failed mechanical engineer.
In Hindi, I'm a skilled labourer.
He is Hashmat.
Oh.
Sorry. Mr. Sinha is very strict about work-related matters.
And this is a very important job. It has to be finished soon. So...
Don't worry. It will be done. I've spoken to Mr. Rizvi.
Then there's nothing to worry about. Still, please finish it soon.
- Surely. - Bye.
Take it inside.
"He left in the morning."
"If he didn't return by evening..."
"It didn't occur to me to call him forgotten."
"Why couldn't I comprehend the one whom I worship?"
"I've been praying to Him since a lifetime."
"Why can't I still see the result?"
"Show us astray people the way to our home."
"Show us lost souls the way home."
"Almighty God, teach us how to live."
"What merriment have you acquired?"
"Which you have acquired."
"On us. A shred."
"A shred. A shred."
"Shower a shred of Your grace on us too."
"Show us astray people..."
Hello, Mr. Ali.
Hello.
Mr. Inayat Ali, you all didn't wait for me?
Are you were in hurry to go home?
They were about to leave. So... Hasmat asked them to start.
What better can I expect from him?
- Come, Maulana. - Come.
Have a seat.
Sit.
Yes... Start it
"Hard-earned living no longer exists."
"Straight forward hearts have ceased to exist."
"All the elders have left their families."
"Old trees are not to be seen outside."
"Who will narrate fairytales?"
"There are no grandparents, nor grand children."
"Everybody swears to God by these times."
"Darkness has replaced light."
"Everybody swears to God, what times are these?"
"Darkness has replaced light."
- "Religion is at risk. We're out to save it." - "We're out."
"Religious people are out..."
- "...to assert their religion." - "They are out."
- "Their blood shot eyes are ready to see bloodshed." -"They are ready."
- "Immature people are ready to burn their houses." - "They are out."
"Insensible people want to burn their houses."
"Oh, God. Oh, Lord."
- "Do shower..." - "Oh, God."
- "...your mercy on us." - "Oh, God."
"Now do shower Your mercy on us."
"Do hear our prayers too."
"Asking for forgiveness and then again committing a crime."
"Everything is haywire."
"Please put things right."
"Oh, God. Oh, Lord."
Next year on Id (Muslim festival), we'll invite Ghulam Ali.
- Good. - Yes.
"Oh, God. Oh, Lord."
Why does the Maulana follow Kasuri wherever he goes?
You need money for everything in the world.
How long can he survive alone?
"Hatred, evil, sin, immorality."
"How did You win this war? Tell us."
- "Shower a shred." - "Shower a shred."
"Shower a shred of Your grace on us too."
"Show us astray people the way to our home."
"Almighty God, teach us how to live."
"Shower a shred of Your grace on us too."
"Oh, God."
Harder. It's an American machine.
It needs more of the Indian toil to open up.
I don't think all the parts are intact.
It'll take a week just to open it.
No. I think it's difficult to repair it.
It's difficult, not impossible.
I was saying it, because you'll try to repair it...
...and ruin your health.
Hello, Mr. Rizvi.
I'm doing your work.
I think this time there is too much pressure on you.
We've just opened it.
It's difficult, but it'll be done.
Where in Chennai are you going?
For the tyre. Fine. Fine.
You're embarrassing me.
No. Okay.
Okay, bye. Fine.
What did he say?
He said that I'm his last hope.
Salim, don't take any more work.
Finish it off as soon as possible. Mr. Rizvi is in a hurry.
Oh, no.
This is the place, where today in the morning...
...the police and the STF made two major arrests.
Altaf and Ansari.
We've found out that they both have been living...
...in UP for the past three months.
A man called Fahim from Chandauli district helped them.
He made arrangements for their food and lodging.
The police say that a large network of the sleeper cell...
...is spread all over UP.
It consists of people with no criminal records.
So the police and the government...
...have initiated new methods of investigation in UP.
Some minority groups say that under the pretext...
...of investigating for bombs and explosives, the police...
...and the government are again targeting their community.
The police say that Abid Khan, a member of our mosque committee...
...and all the residents of Saray Gadimeer are terrorists.
They suspect that all these people are partners in this crime...
...and that they help the Jihadis (rebels) from Pakistan's Hizb-ul-Mujahideen.
Based on this baseless suspicion, they were all arrested.
These arrests have occurred, not just in Allahabad, but also in...
...Lucknow, Benaras, Kanpur, Faizabad, Azamgarh.
In all, 83 innocent people were arrested.
We just want to know that whenever any incident occurs...
...anywhere in this country, why does it directly affect our community?
If the government of this country has failed to curb terrorists...
...should they vent out their anger on us?
And in this way?
By raiding our shops, our homes, our schools?
What sort of justice is this?
Mr. Tahir Anwar is present among us.
He and his wife were taken...
...for interrogation at 2 o'clock in the midnight.
All I want to say is that...
...if the innocent are harassed like this...
...if atrocities are carried out on innocent people...
...what would it breed, if not terror?
On behalf of all the members of this committee...
...and on behalf of Mr. Kasuri, I strongly condemn this.
It's a shameful thing that our colleagues are in police custody...
...and there's nothing we can do.
But we won't sit quietly.
We've conferred with the religious leaders in Aligarh, Delhi, Mumbai...
...and we've decided the next course of action.
We'll gather in hordes in the courts...
...of the cities where arrests were made.
And we'll raise our voice against them.
Tomorrow, when Abid is presented in the court...
...we all will be present there.
About what task has been allotted to whom...
...our General Secretary will brief you.
Islam says that enduring any injustice is equal to supporting it.
We all will have to retaliate together.
- Hail Allah! - Allah is great!
- Innocent. - Release them.
- Tyranny. - Won't be tolerated.
- UP Police. - Shame on you.
- Innocent. - Release them.
- Tyranny. - Won't be tolerated.
- UP Police. - Shame on you.
- Hail Allah! - Allah is great!
Taking into consideration the prosecution's strong appeal...
...I cancel the pleader's appeal for bail...
...and sentence him to police remand for 14 days.
Call next.
- Hail Allah! - Allah is great!
- Innocent. - Release them.
- Tyranny. - Won't be tolerated.
- UP Police. - Shame on you.
- Innocent. - Release them.
- Tyranny. - Won't be tolerated.
- Innocent. - Release them.
Won't be tolerated. Won't be tolerated.
- Innocent. - Release them.
Won't be tolerated.
Release them.
- Tyranny. - Won't be tolerated.
Abid Khan...
Long live...
Come on, Mr. Ali.
You people have businesses. Do your work.
Look, maintain peace and order.
Next time you do this, I'll put you behind bars.
You may leave now. Release them.
Come on. Please. Move.
- Come. - Listen.
One of the people who were charging with sticks dropped this.
Return it.
- Hashmat, there's bad news. - Rafat?
Farhan is no more.
Mr. Kasuri's nephew?
Farhan, who had come from Kanpur for studies?
Yes.
- May God grant heaven to Farhan's soul. - Amen.
All the members of the committee and all our fellow Muslims...
...sympathise with Mr. Kasuri and his family.
We pray to God so that he may grant them the strength to endure this sorrow.
Amen.
Obeying commands blindly is like...
...giving the heartless government the upper hand.
Staying under the shelter of such a government...
...and supporting them is like obeying the orders of Satan.
Any devotee of Islam and Allah will oppose such a government.
This boy's martyrdom won't go in vain.
He gave his life for the community.
The government and the police...
...will have to take the full responsibility.
And we want an answer.
I appeal and request you all.
All Muslim brothers lend your full support to me in this task.
The heavens won't fall apart if you didn't go for work for a day.
Over?
You don't have any hair.
Naughty boy. Go and call your father.
Aara.
Are you going?
My brother, Barquat, used to pray on the days of Ramzan (Muslim festival).
He never compromised with his work.
I've wasted two days already.
It'll be foolish to stall work for a trivial matter.
At least visit the physician.
- Ready? - Yes, Father.
- Start greasing the Ford's engine. - Okay.
I'm going to Dr. Banerjee.
Shall I drop you?
Don't take the trouble. Don't delay your work.
I'll take a taxi.
So you got the chance to meet your friend.
You can't rest in peace without meeting him.
Won't the physician give you medicine too?
Oh God. Don't remind me of his bitter medicines.
You've had the pill? There are four more pills.
You have to take it in the morning and in the evening for two days.
Take it with water.
Hello, doctor.
- Wait for moment. Come when I call you. - Okay.
Fine? With water. Not with liquor.
Go.
Sorry. I broke the queue in haste.
- No problem, come tomorrow. - Okay.
Oh! Come on sit.
- Is your blood pressure fine? - Yes, Doctor.
So tell me what brought you here?
What happened?
You hit me where I've hurt myself.
It's swollen.
Looks like the police have taken good care of you.
- Is it hurting? - Of course it is.
It is bound to be painful.
I'm tickle you, then that you'll laugh.
At this age, if you break your bones, they'll never heal.
I'm prescribing you medicine.
Apply the ointment and take the pills.
- And don't do any heavy work with your right hand. - Okay.
- Okay? - Yes.
- No heavy work. - Okay.
I can eat an apple, can I?
Yes. You can.
But a small one.
Tell me. How is the situation in your locality?
I've heard there was a ruckus at the police station.
Yes. But now the situation is under control.
I was sad to hear about Kasuri's nephew.
I felt that there would be more riots.
Again a curfew will be put up. There'll be unrest.
Even I was afraid, Doctor.
Nothing can be predicted.
This afternoon we'll find out what the Maulana says.
Kasuri spoke to Lucknow's police commissioner.
It shames and hurts me to say that...
...he behaved very rudely.
He says that the remand order has been issued by the court.
We'll have to obey it.
If anyone has died, then the police...
...and the government are not responsible for it.
In fact, we're responsible for it.
It clearly shows that he is not taking us seriously.
Maybe he is not aware of our strength.
He doesn't know that for one death...
Now nobody will discuss anything.
Seven of our people are in the remand for 14 days.
Until they are not released and until...
...the government doesn't take the responsibility of my nephew's death...
...all the markets which come under the mosque will remain shut.
No shops will be opened.
I appeal to all Muslim brothers...
...who work in government offices.
Be it teachers, officers, drivers, doctors, engineers or servants.
Don't go to work.
We have to show them what our position in this country is.
We've chosen what we had to choose after independence.
God knows when this country will choose us.
If they still didn't heed us...
...then we won't be responsible for whatever happens.
Kasuri Sahab, we all are with you.
And God is with us.
- Hail God! - God is great!
Inayat.
Yes.
I wanted to talk to Kasuri.
Great. Where did the sun rise from today?
I've been craving to see the sight of you both talking.
Come. Why delay a good deed?
- Maulana. - Yes.
Make arrangements to deliver the decree to the people as soon as possible.
As you wish, sir.
I gave my word for a government task.
In reference to that, I wanted to talk to you people.
- What? - Inayat.
Meet the shopkeepers personally.
If one market is kept shut...
...then Muslims of other markets too will come forward to support us.
Okay.
Do you have any problem?
No. It's okay.
Nothing will happen. It's just a matter of a few days.
Kasuri's anger will subside. Shops will reopen.
Oh, God. No work for fourteen days?
How will poor workers feed themselves?
It's good that only the shops have been shut down.
Otherwise they would have resorted to vandalism.
Vandalism would have been the right thing to do.
But still, the police harasses us unnecessarily.
Once we retaliate, they'll learn a lesson.
I've heard they are thrashing our men badly in the remand.
You people are not doing anything?
Of course, we are.
That's why we'd shut down the market.
Will people working in private companies go for work?
Who can stop those who want to go?
And how many people would they keep a tab on?
How is that possible?
It's a decree. It's applicable to everybody.
Just watch. Nobody will go for work.
What do you say, brother?
- Hello. - Hello.
I am Anant Zanani from NDTV India.
- I had called you up. - Yes. Sit.
I didn't understand on the phone.
You were saying something about an interview.
Actually, we're doing a story on the museum car.
You know Mr. Belwari, don't you? From the transport department?
Very well.
He told me that you're repairing the engine of that car.
I found out that you stay in the vicinity.
So I thought I'd interview you.
Why do you want to interview me?
I'm an ill-reputed man.
Shall we begin?
What do I have to do?
Look into the camera and answer my questions. That's all.
Manavendra, go.
A 60-year-old historic Ford car.
A car whose engine has got damaged.
A historic car on which a great soul's ashes were kept...
...and it was taken to Sangam.
A capable mechanic has been handed the responsibility of repairing it.
Let's meet him.
Mr. Hashmatullah, you're repairing the engine of...
...the car which is a memorial to Gandhi. How do you feel?
Which car are you talking about?
The museum car whose engine you are repairing.
Yes.
Pardon me. I'm repairing the engine.
But I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Ford V8 American car's engine... - I know.
But I don't know whether it has any connection to Gandhiji.
You don't know?
It's not surprising.
I get many damaged engines from the transport department.
I repair the engine.
I don't have anything to do with where the car came from.
I never asked and he never told me. This engine...
You don't know why you are repairing this car's engine.
No.
That's strange. You'll watch it on NDTV India anyway.
Since you're linked to it, I'd like to tell you.
At the time of India and Pakistan's division...
...there were rumours that Mahatma Gandhi is supporting Muslims...
...and he is bowing down to them.
He gave them Rs.55 crore.
That's why he was murdered.
His last wish was...
...that his ashes should be immersed in all the Indian rivers.
That's why after his cremation his ashes were put in 20 separate urns...
...and they were sent to every corner of this country.
One urn was brought to Allahabad.
It was kept in the car whose engine you are repairing...
...and it was immersed at Sangam.
At the same time one urn was sent to Orrisa's capital Cuttack.
It was kept in a bank's locker.
Then God knows what happened.
Maybe people forgot all about it.
The reason is unknown.
For so many years the urn remained in the locker.
What are you saying?
We keep the ashes of such a great man and then we forget all about it.
Great.
Now his great-grandson,Tushar Gandhi, has collected the urn from there.
And the amazing thing is that he had to submit an application...
...to the Orrisa High Court.
Saying, "This is my belonging. Give it back to me."
Now he has got this urn back.
His wish is to carry out everything...
...the way it was performed in 1948.
The Government has agreed to it.
The urn will be kept in the circuit house for a few days for public view.
He wants it to be taken to Sangam in the car...
...which you are repairing.
And then to be immersed there.
Now I understand why they were in a hurry.
What you're doing is no less a great deed either.
Let's shoot it.
Okay.
When is Tushar Gandhi coming to Allahabad?
- Mahatma Gandhi. - Is immortal.
How can one commit such a grave mistake?
Was everybody asleep?
I'm shocked to hear about it.
Did you call Rizvi?
He said he received orders from his superiors...
...not to tell anybody.
Is he aware that the shops are closed?
Yes. But I told him that his work is going on.
Tell me. What should I do?
It's such a big responsibility. My mind has stopped working.
Look, if you have to finish the work soon...
...then do it at home.
The decree was to stop all your work.
...not to take your work home.
I'm the general secretary.
If people found out, then a decree will be issued against me.
I'm really scared.
Do it furtively. So that nobody finds out.
But I'll have to take the lathe machine and the generator home.
Give the work to some other mechanic.
There is Mohafdarganz.
There must be some mechanic in Gaala Bazaar.
Or else Lucknow.
It's a very old engine.
I'm the only one in the entire Allahabad who can repair it.
That's why I was assigned the job.
There's no time to take it anywhere else.
See now there are only two options.
Either ask the committee for a permission to let you work...
...or to return the engine.
Refusing honestly is much better than...
...agreeing just to please somebody.
Okay.
I don't feel like doing it, but I'll return it.
I'll say that I couldn't repair it.
If I return it today, the worst that'll happen is that I'll be defamed.
If I didn't return it on time, then it would be very humiliating.
You just ask the committee members and see.
It is no use asking now.
See, it's not an ordinary thing.
They might give you permission.
I want to meet Mr. Belwariar.
Yes. He went out with Mr. Sharma and Mr. Verma a few minutes ago.
When will they return?
I can't tell you that.
Nowadays some important work is going on.
So they keep coming and going.
What should we do now? Should we call them?
I think we'd better talk personally.
Do you have any idea what time they will return?
Why are you so worried? They'll come.
Till then, you can do something else. Go and take a look at the museum.
Look, they've opened a new gallery on Gandhiji over there.
Go and take a look.
There are no tickets on it. It's for free. Go and take a look.
When sir comes, I'll tell him you're here.
Go. Go and take a look. Go.
Thank you.
Listen. Mahatma Gandhi's car that's being repaired...
Do you wish to see it?
Come with me. I'll show you. Come.
Come. See this.
Isn't it beautiful?
It's all the result of the hard work of our division.
Do you know? Six new tyres are coming from Chennai.
When will this car get ready?
In just four to five days.
But the main work is to be done by a man from our community.
Hashmatullah Mistry.
He's from Allahabad.
He's the one repairing the engine.
The moment the engine is done, we'll be ready to go.
Won't you meet him?
Let it be. We will call him.
Just two days of the strike, and the entire city is berserk.
Mr. Kasuri and I are getting calls...
...from all over the country to encourage us.
And the committee members from all the mosques here say...
...that if in two days our demands are not fulfilled...
...then all of them will also shut down their shops.
We will also help them financially.
And in the meantime, if any of our fellow Muslims is in need of money...
...then without any hesitation, he can meet Mr. Gaffar.
Stand up.
Come, come, Mr. Hashmat.
- We all were missing you. - Greetings.
People like you are needed to keep our community together.
By God's grace, you set an example to all the Muslim brothers.
I'd like to tell all of you..
...that our Mr. Hashmat has taken up a great task of the government museum...
...that is connected with Gandhiji.
And as soon as the order was given that no one would work...
...our Mr. Hashmat immediately implemented it...
...and he immediately stopped the work.
Great.
Maulana, I wish to speak to you all.
Yes, yes, definitely. Tell.
Tell them what you wish to say.
Initially, I was quite scared to come here.
But after coming here, amongst our own people...
...I felt very secure.
Maulana, Mr. Kasuri, I have come to request you...
...to please give me permission to open my shop and start my work.
What are you saying?
Yes, I feel that I should keep my word of completing the task.
I'd like to do all of this with your consent.
If you wish, then I can keep my shop closed and work inside.
It would be very kind of you to allow me to work.
Mr. Hashmat, do you know what you're saying?
You're seeking permission from the one whose house you want to destroy.
No, no, that is not the case.
You are the committee's General Secretary.
You should be aware of your responsibilities.
Yes, I am. That's why I am asking for your permission.
If you say so, I'll take the engine home.
I'll sit at home and do my work.
Then the betel nut vendor will go door to door...
...to sell his betel nuts and leaves.
The barber will go door to door to do his work.
What's the need of closing down the shops?
All of them can open the back doors to their shops.
Forgive me, Mr. Kasuri.
That day I wanted to talk to you about this...
...but there was mourning everywhere so...
It's not your fault. Treachery runs in your family.
Your brother too had betrayed us.
It'd be better to keep our personal issues away from community matters.
You don't talk about the community.
If you were worried about the community...
...you wouldn't be saying such indecent things.
With these intentions you dream of becoming the chairman?
I'm not at all interested in becoming the chairman. No.
Mr. Hashmat, fear God.
You are a true Muslim.
If you go against the community and open your shop...
...then your religion and your God will never forgive you.
As it is you who have already committed a crime...
...by getting featured on television.
Maulana, this is my personal matter.
Where does religion come in here?
By the way, my work is also my religion.
And it tells me that if you've given a word to someone...
...you must keep it.
Mr. Hashmat, please sit.
We will sit and talk it over.
What will you say to him?
Is he going to understand?
Has anyone from his house been sent to prison?
Has a young boy died in his family?
Why would he be concerned for his community?
He is only worried about his name and status.
He wishes to be famous. He wants to come on television.
I'll speak to him. Please Kasuri Sahab.
Mr. Hashmat, why are you being so obstinate?
In two to four days the shops will open up.
You can do your work then.
Why are you saying this?
Why are we fighting amongst ourselves?
What is this, Mr. Hashmat?
Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?
If you do not do this work someone else will do it.
Have all the mechanics of Allahabad perished?
Why shouldn't I do it?
Just a minute. Something is wrong.
Look here, these people are not stopping you...
...because you are repairing Gandhiji's car.
If that's what you think, then you are wrong.
Look here, it may be anyone's work.
But once the order comes from the mosque...
...then you must accept that as the order from Allah...
...and follow it.
Definitely.
Maulana, that man laid his life down for us.
His own people killed him because he was favouring us.
And today, if I'm doing something for him...
...what's wrong with it?
Gaffar.
Inayat, Zulfi? Sallau?
Why are you all quiet? At least say something.
What will they say? They know what you are saying is unfair.
No. They are scared of you.
But you're not scared?
I'm not scared of doing the right thing.
Then why are you arguing?
You've come here not to take permission...
...but to announce your decision.
Okay, do as you wish.
We will do what we want to do.
Goodbye.
- Long live Gandhiji. - Long live Gandhiji.
How long have you been pulling this rickshaw?
Since the past 10 to 15 years.
Now, if your Muslim brothers ask you to stop the rickshaw...
...what will you do then?
Will you ask me to get down here in the middle of the road?
No sir, how can I drop you here?
Won't you listen to your community? Will you rebel against them?
This is not about rebellion, sir.
This rickshaw is my livelihood.
And you're my customer.
How does it concern the community?
They won't provide me my bread and butter.
What if they pressurise you?
How can they force me?
This is India and not Pakistan or the Taliban.
Your blood pressure has increased.
Please don't tell Aara about this.
Brother.
What kind of stupidity is this?
Why did you go and create commotion there?
Do you know what those people are saying?
Calm down, he's not well. Talk later.
He is responsible to ruin his own health.
Just see how they will make our life miserable in the market.
You go. Go.
Go.
Now I can't even say anything.
Doctor, did you see? I just said that I'll open my shop...
...and all of them went against me.
All those who were with me for so many years.
All of them.
Even my own brother.
Hashmat, just forget it.
Take a rest.
Hashmat, you can wake up those who are sleeping.
But it's useless to try waking the ones who feign sleep.
Don't regret it. I'm going.
Husband... Where are you? Husband, where are you?
What happened?
Are you okay?
Why have you come here?
You're crying?
What's the matter?
Tell me.
I just don't understand.
When I listened to them and I closed my shop and sat at home...
...I was a true Muslim.
The moment I told them my intentions...
...I immediately became a traitor.
God knows what's wrong with us. We associate everything with religion.
Why do you take this to heart?
This is a useless fight.
Will we starve if you don't finish this government task?
Do it when the shops open.
They are our people.
Where will we go by fighting and going against their wishes.
This is the problem.
You too are talking like them.
Am I not a Muslim?
Do I not respect Islam?
Even I pray five times a day.
I've read the Quraan Sharif, Holy book of Islam.
I know that helping the poor is worship.
To give water to the thirsty is worship.
In very same way, my livelihood is also worship.
These are God's own words.
The Islam that I know of tells me that you should be loyal...
...to the country where you stay and where you earn your bread and butter.
And their religion compels them to stop me from working...
...is the reason and I don't agree.
Then go and explain it to them.
What do I do to explain them?
If only they realised that the person whose job I'm doing...
...is their kin as well.
He was from this country where we reside.
But these people obstruct my work under the name of religion.
More than this, I am hurt...
...because not a single friend of mine is backing me.
They didn't even call me once.
Today, I saw the photo of Gandhiji's final moments.
I tell you...
...as if he has not attained peace even after his death.
That was clearly showing on his face.
Look here...
I do not know too much...
...but I know this much that you will never harm anyone.
If you feel what you're doing is right, go ahead.
God is with you.
Mr. Hashmat.
- Hasmat, what are you doing? - Why are you being so obstinate?
Don't open the shop.
It's not right.
You are the General Secretary of the committee.
If you open the shop, it'll be a bad influence on the others.
Think about the people who are in jail.
How will you face Abid up there?
Why are you betraying your own people?
Zulfi, can you don't say like this? That I'm betraying my people?
Even I have suffered beatings for Abid's sake.
If you say you are supporting us, then why do you wish...
...to be separated from us by opening this shop?
My brother, I am not getting separated from anyone.
I am opening my shop only because I want to work.
Why are you complicating the issue?
It's you who's complicating the matter.
What'll happen if I open my shop?
Today you'll open your shop.
Tomorrow someone else will open his shop.
Day after, someone else will open his shop.
Wouldn't it affect our unity?
Remember.
If you wish to stay in the community, then you have to stay together.
Otherwise it will be difficult for us to do business.
No one will allow us to stay peacefully in Allahabad.
Brother Hashmat, listen to me.
You are aware of how much we all love you.
As a Shopkeeper Association Leader...
...I apologise on behalf of Mr. Kasuri and the Maulana.
Come.
Please give me the keys.
Inayat, I have to complete this task.
Look here, you are all my friends.
I am even aware that I will make all of you unhappy...
...by not listening to you.
There is a voice within me which tells me...
...that I should complete this task.
How can I ignore it?
Rafat, explain it to your father.
This is not right.
What important work is this that he is fighting with everyone?
I'm not doing anything great.
I'm doing this task for a great soul.
Inayat, please give me the keys.
Don't give him the keys.
How much money will you earn from this?
We all will pitch in and pay you that amount.
- Hey, you. - Hey.
Both of you keep quiet.
You go.
We're talking, aren't we?
Look here, my dear. I'm not doing this for money.
Why don't you listen to Mr. Kasuri and the priest's orders?
Brother Inayat, do not hand him the keys.
Let's see how he opens his shop.
Give me the keys.
Brother Inayat, give me the keys.
Inayat, give me the keys... Give it, Inayat... Please give it...
I am sorry Hashmatbhai I am helpless...
...this is the Masjid's committee order and we must obey it.
- Are you giving us the keys or not? - Keep quiet.
Now, go home. Go home.
And don't come till I ask you to. Go.
Brother Inayat, just remember...
...that I had not given you the keys.
You took it from me.
I'm not going to enter by breaking this lock...
...and neither will I make another set of keys.
I'm sitting here at this doorstep.
And I will not move from here.
I will not open this shop...
...till you hand the keys to me.
It doesn't matter, if you give me the keys today, tomorrow...
...or even after a year.
But you will give them to me.
And all of you, don't feel bad, please.
But I would like to know, if that vehicle didn't belong to Gandhi...
...but to someone from your own religion or to Jinnah...
...then would you have stopped me?
If he's hungry for the past two days, let him be hungry.
At least you have your food.
What is there to think about?
He isn't doing anything right?
How many times have I told you to pray before you eat.
The thing I'm doing is more important than prayers.
Stop talking.
I know how important it is.
Brother Hasmat. Brother Hashmat.
Here are the keys. Open the shop.
Are you giving it to me of your own volition...
...or has someone forced you?
I am willingly giving it to you.
But please do me a favour and don't tell anyone about it.
If anyone asks me, I'll say that I don't know.
You're scared?
I'm not scared of anyone except Allah.
But what can I do?
I am under immerse pressure from the rest of community
You must have not eaten anything.
Come, we'll eat together. Come.
No, I will leave now.
Won't you go home?
I have a lot of work to do... Lots of work.
"He is the eternal truth."
"Only His will rules."
"Whoever follows His wish is a true devotee."
"He is the eternal truth."
"Only His will rules."
"Whoever follows His wish is a true devotee."
"The Lord is great..."
"The Lord is great. We all are His devotees."
"He has created all people."
"Some are good and some are bad."
"The Lord is great. We are all His devotees."
"He has created all people."
"Some are good and some are bad."
"The Lord is great.."
We really have to do something to stop him.
Otherwise, the orders issued by the mosque will not have any value.
Don't worry. Nothing like that will happen.
You know many religious leaders.
Can't you tell them to issue some decree?
That will not be necessary.
Please do not forget to tell him. Goodbye.
What happened?
It was his father.
He was saying that he has gone to Farukabad, to his aunt's place.
Father, there are so many things to be done.
Tell me, how will we manage without Salim?
This work will be done only if we get some help.
I think he is at home. He's deliberately not picking up the phone.
He has not even taken this month's salary?
- Salim. - Mr. Hasmat.
Please come.
Father, Mr. Hashmat's here.
When did you come from Farukabad?
Today. I just came. Please come in.
- Hello, Brother Hasmat. - Hello.
How come you're here?
I heard that he has gone out and it was the salary day.
- So, I came to give his salary. - Yes.
Come on. There is a lot of work in the shop, come on.
Brother Hashmat, you go ahead. He'll come as soon as the shop opens.
He works in my shop and it's open.
Brother Hasmat, why do you want to involve my son in your problems?
Listen, if we have to stay within the community and religion...
...then we have to observe certain norms and adhere to the regulations...
...of religion as well as of the community.
Brother, it does not suit you to talk of religion and community.
Everyone at Roshanganj is aware...
...that you spend all your son's salary in liquor.
And you have a wife who is younger than your son.
Come, I am waiting for you outside.
- Hello, Mr. Rizvi. - Hello.
What is the status of my work?
Look there. Your work is underway.
Please do it fast. I'm under a lot of stress.
Mr. Rizvi, rest assured.
These are few parts that are needed...
...please tell someone to bring them.
And I will fix the original parts just like you told me to...
...after repairing them.
Okay. Oh, yes.
He is Mr. Mishra.
He is an A-grade mechanic of our Transport Section.
He considers you as his Guru.
He wishes to work with you on this project.
Why not? You have come as a saviour.
- When would you like to start? - Now?
Lovely. Salim.
He is our A-grade mechanic. Mr. Mishra. Assist him.
I heard that there was a lot of commotion here.
People closed down everything.
I hope our work will not be hampered.
It'll be ready on time? Please do not put me into a fix.
Sir, you have handed over the job to your friend.
You have not given it to a Muslim engineer.
Let the entire world come to a halt, but this machine will be kept working.
They are deliberately not coming,
...so that they will not have to face me.
Has the mosque's committee put restrictions on morning walks?
Ha... Ha... Good joke!
Both of you have a vast difference in thoughts.
And differences don't mean fights.
Inayat realised it, so he gave you the keys.
When the others realise, they will start talking to you too.
If they fail to understand?
Hashmat, what are you saying?
You are an engineer.
All the parts of the engine will start working...
...if a small motor starts rotating.
- The parts are rusted. - So oil them.
Come. Come.
"The Lord is great. We are all His devotees."
"He has created all people."
"Some are good and some are bad."
"The Lord is great..."
"The Lord is great. We are all His devotees."
"He has created all people."
"Some are good and some are bad."
"The Lord is great..."
Greetings, Hashmat...
How are you Zuber?
You tell us... What is the progress of engine work?
By the grace of God, it will be done on time.
Listen!
No, my dear, I am in a little hurry.
You can leave at your will.
We are not inviting you for a party. Are we Zuber?
Mr. Hashmat, what is this? Is this a part of that engine?
Mr. Kasuri and the Maulana are doing so much for this market.
Why are you doing this?
Zuber, you sit here all day and preach.
There on the stand you extract money from the people.
Have I ever asked you to give me a reason for your hooliganism?
Am I a goon? I am a goon, isn't it?
Here.
Here. See, I have snatched this from you.
What will you do?
My dear, Zuber, please give this to me.
What will you do if I don't give it to you?
What are you doing? Give it to me.
What will you do if I don't give it to you?
Zuber, do not be obstinate. Give it to me.
What will you do if I don't give it to you?
- I say, give it to me. -Then take this.
Come on. Give it to me.
Please do not force me, for God's sake.
It doesn't look like you got this wound from having fallen down.
Tell me the truth.
Doctor, may God save me from you.
Do you know Zuber?
The one who stands at the bus stand?
- Yes. - He beat you?
We had a tussle.
You are out of your mind.
- Come on. - Where?
Police station.
Doctor, leave it. Your blood pressure will rise unnecessarily.
What are you saying?
Against whom will you complain?
All of them are our kin.
Leave it. It'll only aggravate the matter.
I just cannot understand anything you say.
At times you talk on their behalf and at times against them.
What if something drastic happens?
Doctor, what is the most they can do?
They will threaten me, beat me and at the very most kill me.
Okay. But they will not be able to curtail my passion. No...
Great. Today you're talking like some bravado.
Doctor, it is all His grace. Really.
I don't know what happened today.
I was not at all scared in front of Zuber.
I felt as if He's with me and is telling me to face the truth. That's it.
Doctor, do you know, I did not even raise my hand.
They ran away in fear.
- What are you saying? - Yes. Really.
But why had you gone there?
Doctor, now allow me to leave.
I still have to visit Zulfi's house.
- Shall I come with you? - No.
The bravados fight their battle by themselves.
Great. But be careful.
Now they are not speaking, but are using their power.
Take care of yourself.
Doctor, do not worry.
After today's incident, I realised how much strength a man has.
I have learnt the skill of influencing people.
Great.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
No, no. This is absolutely wrong.
Tomorrow I will go and complain to Mr. Kasuri about this.
No, no, do not go and complain to anyone. Leave it.
Why shouldn't I complain? Why shouldn't I?
A responsible person from our committee is attacked...
...and we should all remain quiet?
Zulfi, I liked...
...seeing that you're troubled by my pain.
How will I not be troubled? How will I not be?
Are you a stranger to me?
That day because you were hell bent on opening your shop that is why...
Tell me one thing.
What were you doing over there so late at night?
I was coming to meet you. I want you to groove bangles out of this.
See this. 0.3mm.
It is a very delicate job. I cannot do it.
Hashmat, why are you joking?
I am serious. I feel as if I have cataract.
I cannot see properly, so...
Hashmat, please forgive me.
I will not be able to do this.
If someone sees, there will be trouble.
What happened? Are you angry?
No, I am going.
No, no sit. At least have a cup of tea.
- Someone please get tea... - No, please leave it.
If someone comes to know that you offered me a cup of tea..
...then there will be trouble.
Hashmat, you felt bad.
At least try and understand the problem.
Just now you were saying that I am not a stranger.
We both have helped each other many times.
Have you ever asked me whose this is or what is this...
Please, lower your voice.
There is no need to shout.
There is no need to tell the whole world that you are here.
I am coming with you.
You start the scooter. I'll wear my shirt and come.
Zulfi, you will sit at the back of the scooter, isn't it?
Why? Won't you be able to ride it?
No, I was thinking that after many years someone...
...will finally ride with me on my scooter.
I was feeling good as well as ashamed too...
- That a proposal was brought for me. - Then?
What did I know?
I realised only when they started discussing dowry...
...that he was not bringing a wife for me, but a wife for himself.
My dear, Salim, now you will have to make a habit of this.
What are you all doing here?
Just that... Here...
- What are you doing here? - I was just...
What happened?
Nothing. I fell down in the dark.
Why are you standing with a sour face? Come on.
He had warned me not to tell anyone.
And I too had promised him that I will not tell anyone.
So I will not tell anyone, okay?
Okay, now do not try and act sweet. Give it to me.
- How many bangles do you want to make from this? - Six.
- 0.3 mm. - Yes.
0.3 mm means 0.3 mm. Great.
- Why are we grooving it twice? - Keep quiet.
He just keeps talking nonsense.
Hashmat, you have already made it, isn't it?
See, now do not lie to me.
Has he made them?
0.2 mm great
Hashmat, I know very well that there is no other person in UP...
...who can groove better than you.
Then why are you making me do this?
I wanted to know whether you are in my team...
...or with the people of the sect.
Now you can leave. At this hour of the night.
...children do not roam about. Go. Come on.
- Hashmat. - What?
- Do not laugh. - Okay, do not laugh.
Yes.
I went to drop him home and all the way he was requesting me.
"Please do not tell anyone. You have the oath of our friendship."
At least it cheered you up.
And the rest, Allah will teach a lesson to those rascals.
Brother, what is this?
Are we all dead?
- What happened? - What do you mean by what happened?
Someone raised his hand on you and you did not even tell us?
And we are standing here and arguing.
We should go and break bones of those rascals.
Hey, wait.
Are you out of your senses? No one will do anything.
You'll be repeating the same thing he did last night.
What is the difference then?
Why are you talking like a child?
Brother, does my voice sound like a child's voice?
Just think. I've profited from his beatings.
Till yesterday all of you were angry with me...
...because I opened my shop.
But today all of you have come together and are ready to fight for me.
Is this anything less?
Uncle, he should be punished for his deeds.
My dear, only He has the right to punish.
The day you become God, you punish him.
All of you go.
You have to do like this, understood?
- Greetings, Brother. - Oh, my God.
You really scared.. What happened to you?
Nothing, I just fell in the dark.
- So I thought I should get it checked from you. - Go.
How are you, kid? Go, go, go, very good.
What is it? Has Dr. Banerjee gone out somewhere?
No. The doctor is himself very sick.
And your treatments are much better than his modern medicines.
Now stop praising me unnecessarily like this.
Now tell me what did you come here for?
I am really here to get treated.
The pain is unbearable.
That I cannot do. I am not as broad minded as you.
We are God fearing people.
Go, my shop is closed.
You're a doctor. These rules are not applicable to you.
And till now I have never realised...
...whether your clinic is in your house or is it the other way around.
In my house... No, my house is in my shop.
Do you have any problem?
Doctor, you are great.
Will you not treat a lady who is going to deliver a child...
...or a person who is going to die?
Look here. I told you, my shop is closed.
Now, please go.
If your son or your grandchild is sick, then...
Don't you think that some people's feelings awaken...
...only for their own kin?
How can you say that?
Prove me wrong.
When was the last time people celebrated Indian cricket team's win...
...by bursting firecrackers in our colony?
And I can show you portraits of Shoaib Akhtar, Inzamam...
...even snaps of Pervez Musharraf, Osama...
...and Saddam Hussein, in shops, horse carts and saloons here.
What is wrong in that?
Even I do not say that this is wrong.
It is only in this country that everyone has a right...
...to express their feelings.
So when I got an opportunity to serve my country through my skill
My country was my first preference.
After that my own and the feelings of my kin.
That is why my shop is open.
And yours is closed.
- I am going. Goodbye. - Listen.
This is bitter.
Mix it with honey and have it in the morning and the evening.
The pain will subside.
And please for God's sake, do not tell anyone...
...that I have given you this medicine.
You be rest assured. Okay.
What's the matter?
God knows.
Maybe, the court has issued everybody's release orders.
Thank God.
Don't you know?
The Home Minister himself apologised to Mr. Kasuri.
The police were given a good dressing down.
He even dismissed two police officers.
They're releasing Abid.
All the members of the committee are going to jail...
...to bring him back.
Strange?
Why didn't they call me?
Okay.
Tell me. Is this the right thing?
But he doesn't want to listen to anybody.
Abid, how are you?
Take a look. He's still alive.
- Priest. - Inayat, let him talk.
The people whom you favoured and betrayed us.
This is what their dreadful officials have done in remand. Look at him.
- I regret... - You're lying.
You don't regret it at all.
You don't regret his condition, or Farhan's death.
You're still angry with me?
You didn't even call me?
I'm ready to apologise if I've wronged you.
If you feel, by apologising for your sins...
...you can avert punishment, you are wrong.
You will be punished, because He's watching everything.
You are equally responsible for his condition...
...as much as the government and the police.
Priest, this is not the right place to argue.
Hasmat, please come later.
May Allah help you get well soon.
- Mewalal. - Stop.
Take your apples back.
No one requires your sympathy here.
I can understand everyone's anger.
But Kasuri, we cannot hold the government and the police responsible...
...and turn our backs on our responsibilities.
Think about it. Who are the terrorists?
And what will you call the ones that give them refuge?
Stop it.
That's all that was left.
Muslims like you slander Islam.
A true Muslim is the one that never hurts anyone in any way.
When will we understand that when people who intend harm do their job...
...and here, our entire race comes under scrutiny?
We're responsible for...
...Abid's condition as much as the police and the government.
Take care.
I'm leaving. Take care. I'll come again.
Keep it.
- The date is 12th, isn't it? - Yes.
It's quite near.
- Boss. - Yes.
Dr. Verma says.
On the 12th of February, 1948.
The day, the urn was immersed.
That day, all the righteousness and honesty was immersed with the urn.
That's absolutely right.
Tell me, what was its average before? Five or six?
- Six. - Six.
I was thinking...
...now since it's back to its original condition...
...so let's give it an average of six as well.
That will be wonderful.
- Hello. - Gaffar, hello. How nice of you to be here.
These days I don't see you in the morning.
You're afraid of losing, right?
Thinking of Dr. Banerjee's apples will make you win.
Meet me tomorrow morning, we will see.
Hashmat, you have to come tomorrow.
The committee has summoned you.
Will you come?
I'll have to. After all, the committee has summoned me.
Please consider your decision. Take my advice, don't come.
I will leave.
The law of the mosque is same for everyone.
Hasmatullah, went against the order...
...and opened his shop.
Hence, the committee members have decided...
...that you have to resign from the post of General Secretary.
- I don't agree to this decision. - He is also fined Rs.10,000.
He should deposit this amount in the mosque's fund.
I haven't done anything wrong. And I won't pay the fine either.
And give a written apology to all members and shop owners...
...assuring that he won't make the same mistake in the future.
Otherwise, he'll be boycotted.
I refuse to do that either.
Hashmatullah...
...I gave you a chance because Mr. Kasuri insisted me to.
To mend your mistake...
...so that you can face Allah on doomsday.
But unfortunately, you refused to take that chance.
Priest, whenever I would want to please Allah...
...I won't need a third person.
I will pray for all of you.
"My desires comes on my lips in the form of prayers."
"My Life should be like the shimmering light."
"My desires comes on my lips in the form of prayers."
"If I can alleviate the darkness in the world..."
"...I wish to spread my light everywhere."
"Let my every breath make my land wondrous."
Listen, you couldn't find a dynamo, right?
A patient of mine from Hathganva...
...has sent a V8 dynamo in return for my treatment.
Will it help you in anyway?
Doctor, why are you taking such trouble for me?
Keep quiet. You're trying to kick-start a stalled car.
I might be one of the many to touch the urn that'd be kept on it...
...asking for forgiveness.
"May I always tread the path of knowledge."
"My duty should always favour the poor."
"Always love the poor and the deprived."
"Allah, save me from being a sinner."
"Always help me tread the honest path."
Boss, it is working.
It's almost finished.
It's almost done.
- Rafat. - Yes.
Call Salim. Where is he?
Yes, I am, Father.
You have been dialling for the past one hour.
- Father. - Yes. - Wait.
Wait.
Farhan's father has arrived from Dubai.
They have gone to the graveyard to say the prayers.
He'll be here soon.
Why didn't you tell me before?
- I thought you're busy with work and so... - What work?
If you can't share anyone's happiness...
...you must share their sorrows.
And Mr. Kasuri is not our enemy.
But if you go there uninvited, they might sully you.
Have they arranged for a Koran recitation?
What?
- You mean to say you will go to their house. - Yes, why not?
Keep your own house clean, and not the neighbours? That's not right.
Come on.
Yes.
He has thanked you for coming here.
He's the chairman and so he's compelled.
He can't give you the permission to sit with the sect.
- Where are you going? - Inside.
I told you, meet him some other day.
He's not feeling well.
- I want to meet him. - What is this misbehaviour?
- I want to meet him right now. - Hashmat
Noorez. Noorez. Noorez.
Yes.
Please show him the way out. Go.
Come.
- Hurry up. - Wait.
Mr. Maulana, please go inside. I will talk to him.
Ashfaqae.
Why do you want to get embarrassed?
Why have you come here uninvited?
You didn't come here for years, but you had the audacity to come here today.
Are you enjoying doing all this?
What was the need to break the promise?
Why have you come here?
Why don't you say something?
I don't have any grievances.
Instead, I am enjoying this. Really. I mean it.
- Are you crazy? - I haven't seen my soul or God.
But whenever I will wish to have true friends...
...I will surely see the three of you.
I am leaving. Really. I won't tell anyone anything.
There was very little work left, and...
So, what's the problem? We are here to help you.
You're a jinx. Your arrival brought this power outage.
What are you grieving about Hashmat?
I'll make electricity appear from nowhere.
"The one who is a Vaishnav (Follower of Lord Vishnu)..."
"...knows the pain of others."
- What are you looking at? Tighten it. - Yes, do it.
"He tolerates and praises the entire world."
"He sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice."
"Considers women as his mother."
"He never hesitates to speak the truth."
"Does not eye others property."
"The one who is a Vaishnav."
"Knows the pain of others."
"The one who is a Vaishnav."
Hello, Doctor.
I saw a wonderful dream.
And I am dying to tell you about it.
Really? It's 3 o'clock in the morning.
I'll be there in the morning for your last rites. Fine?
Okay. Okay.
But, Mr. Hashmat, why do you want the vehicle to pass your area?
I don't know. But my heart says...
...that every Muslim from my area will walk to the confluence...
...and will pay homage to this great soul.
- That's a good thought, but... - Please don't refuse.
I want to prove, that we are as patriotic as the others.
If we can close down our shops to protest against the government...
...then we can close down our shops...
...to be a part of this last journey.
That's fine. We have very little time left.
But the thing is... Okay, if you are requesting us, then we will try.
But it's your duty to inform your people.
And I will try to get the permission from higher authorities.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
You don't have to thank us for it.
We have undertaken this task...
...so that people should know about Gandhi's thoughts.
Doctor, let's go.
What's up in your mind?
I think this is impossible.
Love can make everything possible, Doctor.
But how will you give them the news?
They are not on talking terms with you.
Just watch. They will call me themselves.
How?
Doctor, you said it yourself...
...any big machine need small nuts and bolts to fasten them.
I feel you have gone crazy.
Make sure you don't miss any nook, corner, roof, alleys, anything, okay?
We don't want kites, we want a cricket kit.
Yes, we want a cricket kit.
Why do you want to burn holes in my pockets?
Cricket is such a silly game.
Hit the ball to a distance and it's a boundary. That's it.
But this has no boundary. It can go anywhere.
And you can't get out either. Go.
Take this message to every household. Go.
Yes, sir.
"A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments."
"He does not succumb to worldly attachments."
"Has staunchly detached himself from all worldly pleasure."
"Is addicted to the elixir coming by the name of Ram."
"For whom all the religious sites are in the mind."
"The one who is a Vaishnav."
"Knows the pain of others."
"The one who is a Vaishnav..."
"...has no greed and deceit."
"Has no greed and deceit."
- "He has renounced desire and anger in all it's form.' - The planet earth...
...basically, all the ecosystems are obtained...
...in which plants produce life.
Plants are the producers.
The plants are an important part of our ecosystem.
It's..the main part.
- 5...6...7...8... - "The one who is a Vaishnav."
- 1...2...3... - "The one who is a Vaishnav."
"Knows the pain of others."
"Does good to others, to the ones who are in misery in particular."
"Does not let pride enter his mind."
"One who is a Vaishnav."
What is this? You are forgetting.
You are no more the General Secretary of the mosque...
...and you're no more part of this sect.
Who gave you the permission to...
...make such an appeal to the people?
I did this for a good cause.
But the people will think that the committee has made this appeal.
- So what's bad about it? - It's not about good or bad.
How can you exercise rights that you no longer have?
I did it with good intentions, but the people...
Fine, we heard your appeal.
So please, you can leave now. Go.
- Let him say what he wants to. - Please keep quiet.
- No, I want to say something. - Listen, this is wrong.
You weren't called here to address the people.
- Please leave. - I request everyone to be a part of this journey.
These are testing times.
And if we hold back now.
We will have to ask ourselves a question.
What are we doing in this country?
If we can't honour the leader who got us freedom...
...then, what are we here for?
Are we just guests here?
We are all Indians. And this is our country.
Tomorrow, that personality will pass through our area...
...riding on the vehicle that I repaired.
And each one of you here...
...has encouraged me to build that vehicle.
Allah will never forgive you on doomsday.
Go from here.
Allah can never be so selfish. He does not discriminate.
Goodbye.
Okay. We'll see about that.
Goodbye.
- No, let it be. - Please, take it.
It's very sour. Later.
Greetings, Kasuri.
- How are you, Shehnaz? - Come, take a seat.
I couldn't stop myself when I heard.
How are you now?
You must be surprised.
I haven't visited you for a long time...
...but nowadays I am coming here frequently.
Why should I be surprised?
I've never stopped anyone from coming here.
You didn't call me either.
Why did you come here today?
I am sure you know that we have finished building the engine.
And tomorrow we will place Gandhi's urn on it...
What do you want from me?
Mr. Kasuri, I want you to walk till the confluence with the urn.
If you come, the others will take part, too.
Fine.
I'll discuss it with the committee members.
Will you have tea?
No, thank you.
Mr. Kasuri, have you ever thought what would've happened..
...if the Muslims from Allahabad, or from all over India...
...hadn't departed to Pakistan?
A few days ago, I was at the university.
I learnt that if this country wouldn't have been divided..
...it would have been the most powerful country in the world.
This country would have had a bigger Muslim population...
...compared to any other Islamic country. 500 million.
And if this country was still undivided...
...the military expenses...
...that is more than a billion rupees could've been saved.
Just think, all this money could have been used...
...for education, medicines, hospitals.
It could have been used for such important amenities.
Why are you telling me all this?
I know...
...your family wealth was plundered in Loknath...
...at the time of partition.
You still regret the fact that Hindus live there.
- Don't try to dig up old wounds. - No.
Mr. Kasuri... I'm here to heal them.
I feel, not this country, but the Muslims were divided.
Really.
Ask Mr. Jinnah...
...why he created Pakistan without...
...taking the advice of 80% of the Muslim population?
Why did he do this for only 20% muslims.
And, more than 2 million people were killed at the time of partition.
Just because those poor Muslims couldn't go to Pakistan.
And how could they?
That means, 20% of affluent Muslims involved in political...
...are responsible for the deaths of these 2 million people.
And who wanted Pakistan?
Liaqat Ali Khan? The Muslim League or Mr. Jinnah?
No.
None of them had anything to do with Pakistan.
- Seems like you have done a thorough research. - Yes.
I found out, that Jinnah was fighting with the British...
...so that Wajiristan doesn't become a part of Pakistan.
And then, he even filed an affidavit in court...
...saying that he's not a true Muslim.
So that his property can be passed on to his daughter and son...
...and it's not seized.
That was his love for Pakistan and Islam.
He plotted a political ruse under the pretext of religion...
...and we are still bearing the brunt of it.
We believed that Islam is in danger...
...and were ready to do or die for our cause.
But why didn't we use our brains?
And look what these slogans have done to Pakistan.
It's a dreadful situation there. You know everything.
At least, we Indians are not dependent on anyone.
The extremists who hampered progress in Pakistan..
...are trying to do the same in India...
...under the pretext of Jihad they carry out terrorist activities...
And what about the political powers here...
...who have made our life hell?
Aren't they at fault?
I am not denying that, Mr. Kasuri.
We are ready to talk to them as well...
...the hostility between the two religious sects is not favourable.
It's detrimental for us.
The one's benefiting are Pakistan, America, China.
We know. But we have to start the process of persuading from our own home.
- It sounds nice, but... - No, it's possible.
5000 people were killed within 42 hours in the Naokhali riots.
The police and the military turned their backs.
If one man can stop the riots in 73 hours...
...without picking up any arms...
...then anything is possible in the world.
That was a different time altogether, Mr. Hashmat.
Today, nobody needs Gandhi.
No, Mr. Kasuri, we do.
That's why I have come to you.
Allah doesn't always bless us by sending his messengers.
It's not a coincidence. It's his gesture.
Tomorrow, he will pass through our area.
We have to honour him.
He has come to unite us again.
And I am proud of it.
You're getting emotional.
These days the condition is very bad.
I don't have faith.
I can't forget anything, even if I want to.
Every time, it's the same scenario. Corpses covered in blood.
They didn't even spare the women and children.
We have taken our revenge as well, Mr. Kasuri.
We slaughtered them dreadfully.
It's written in the Hadish Sharif.
"Those who kill innocent will rot in hell."
We have to decide...
...should we forget the dark past, and start afresh...
...or let whatever is happening continue.
Einstein had said about Gandhi.
The future generation will never believe...
...that such a living man ever walked on Earth.
We might not have understood fully.
That's why we forgot about him so soon.
We forgot about his principles, his values and his morals.
But he hasn't forgotten us.
He has returned. Destiny has brought him back...
...among us, for a journey...
...that will start from a church and will pass through temples, mosques...
...and gurdwaras (Sikh temple) and culminate at the holy confluence.
He will teach us lessons of unity and diversity...
...for which he sacrificed.
From Allahabad, Manvendra Pratap Singh for NDTV India.
Please don't be sad
So many people are here to join us.
Hashmat, here they are.
Hashmat. You were right.
Love makes everything possible.
Mr. Hashmat, hello. Come join us, the truck has arrived
After you... After you... No, after you... Please, after you.

What are you looking at?
Serve the tea.
I am not going to work today.
- Is the vehicle arriving? - Yes, it is.
Dilshad, take the things inside.
Excuse me, sir. Please come out.
- Please come out. - "Let there be smiles on every face."

- As long as there will be sun and moon... - Mahatma Gandhi will be worshipped.
"Sanskri Chants!"
Who says Gandhi's philosophies have become outdated?
As long as humanity survives...
...his philosophies too will remain alive.
Gandhi is like a sun whose rays keep...
...enlightening every dark corner.
The philosophies of a lonely man...
...have united the people of different religions.
Yes, we have seen unison in two aspects.
One is of the rivers Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati.
And the other is the unison of all these religions.
The question that arises is, who is trying to divide us?
We will have to find the answers to these on our own.
What could it be? Separatism, extremism, terrorism or dirty politics?
