"The waters... The land... And the sky..."
"Are proof to the history Of mankind."
"People... countries... Time... Everything changes..."
"Nothing survives forever... But true love."
In the name of true love is...
Whenever the populous 10 billion of India celebrate republic day...
...There's always something special.
This year the government and the media have their attention...
...on a special guest Lady Katherine Williams.
Ironically, she's refusing to talk to both - government and press.
She's even avoiding a photographer!
Lady Katherine is a former minister of British Parliament.
...is today the state guest of India...
...because of her interest in Rural development and education.
For this she has with her a charity fund of 500 million pounds.
All the chief ministers around the country have invited her.
But she declined till she meets the Prime Minister and President.
To welcome her, present here are ministers and known people of Delhi.
All praised her at length but she just said one word...
What? - Namaste.
Well said.
Lets' watch to whom will her charity fund go to, if at all.
She has refused the Tourism Ministry's invitations to tour India.
I'm the secretary to Minister of tourism.
Madam my names is Rajiv Prasad. Minister has sent me here.
Please explain, our government's in an awkward situation.
I'll explain.
But if madam doesn't wish to tour, You can't force her.
It's essential for madam to get to know our country.
You want madam to see India in the truest sense?
What do you mean?
We've already invited her to sightsee India.
If you really want her to see India...
... take her to Devprayag
Devprayag, a holy place in Uttaranchal where two rivers...
...Bhagirath and Alaknanda merge...
...to form the holiest river Ganges...
Above Rishikesh and Haridwar.
Now what's your decision?
This is from us.
Greeting. - Greeting
Kisna.
Thank you.
How rude is that!
Either she doesn't know India or doesn't want to know India...
It's all a charade!
I know India very well...
More than you, the real India.
It's not a charade.
India has a thousand stories to tell...
But I've just one story to share...
Now even I can't hold myself back
Do you see that bungalow...
...Now a hotel I guess...
...It was my home...
My birthplace.
Lady Katherine says...
Do you see that bungalow there, It was my home.
In 1930, I was born here.
In India.
Before 1947, during British rule...
My father and grandfather also lived in India.
My father Peter Beckett was the deputy commissioner...
...Of Pauri Garhwal.
But the villagers hated him.
Kathy baby, my sweetheart, This is for you.
Where's Kisna?
Where he usually is!
Kisna.
What's it? - Here's a gift for you.
What's it?
Go away, I don't like such jokes.
Let me work!
Now what?
Just like an officer.
Salute the officer.
Salute officer!
Do you think I'm an idiot?
It's for girls, not boys!
Sing a song that touches my heart
My grandpa's calling you for the prayer ceremony!
Can't come, I'm on duty!
Lakshmi, come with us.
Grandpa... - Yes my dear...
Kisna chases me away whenever Kathy's around.
Really.
He's my student. He'd never do that.
He does! Kathy braids her hair as if to copy me!
Just immerse yourself into the...
world of music and dance...
and pray to Lord Krishna.
He'll be yours.
Kisna doesn't care about me.
Just close your eyes.
Now turn southwards...
...Now open your eyes.
Look who is here.
Isn't that Kisna!
Now, tell me!
This is your English lesson book.
Learn it by Monday.
Madam I've completed this homework too.
May I enter the piano room to look at the piano.
Of course... why not...
I don't want any useless Indian in that room!
Every religion teaches the path of love and peace.
Says our holy book, the Gita.
If one doesn't follow this path?
It becomes our duty to fight.
Even if he's your own master?
Be it your master or brother...
...fighting for justice is righteousness.
Got that Kisna?
Shankar.
Half knowledge is dangerous!
Look mother.
My sister Shanta's moulding her children into scholars...
...whereas to fight the British we need warriors!
We've you, Bhairav, Leader of warriors!
Shankar's following your footsteps!
Yes, my shankar's not a slave like Kisna and you.
Time and again the two of you fight over the same issue.
Mother, explain him.
Beckett's routed the canal water to the wretched prince Raghuraj.
I'll skin him alive one day...
Even if he's your master!
Who'll stop you from your temperament of bloodshed!
Since Beckett's banned all your illegal trade...
...you're faking to be a radical leader of the poor villagers!
I know what is in your heart.
This is the Katau canal of Pauri Garhwal, which belongs to me.
In the name of our father Pratap Singh.
I've paid your government huge taxes and helped in your business.
I am sending these forest wood to your force through the river.
And you....can't even protect my small canal.
I need you to guard my canal from misuse by Bhairo and his miscreants.
And you...
Listen to the melody and follow me.
Mother didn't have the courage to go against father's decision.
I was packed off to London the very same day.
But my childhood was attached to scents of this village.
In England, my aunt Margaret got me admitted in a public school.
But I never forgot Devprayag, Kisna and his flute.
Time went by...
In 1947, the British government started talks of independence...
...With Gandhi and Nehru.
That very moment
On my mother's insistence, my father called me back to India.
On reaching India, my happiness knew no bounds.
Nothing had changed, neither the villages nor the mountains...
...or the rivers or the people!
I felt like I am reliving my childhood days.
We are a family now...
My sweetheart! - Did you recognize me?
How can I ever forget you? This flower reminded me of you!
My baby.
Kisna... How's he?
He's fine...
What does he do?
He's finished studies, works with his brother...
...and teaches the children too.
Did Kisna miss me?
Yes...
But...
What happened?
Since you'd left, everything has changed...
...from people to government to politics!
A rage of hatred has taken over.
Especially against your father.
All over India, people are at peace, except here.
And Kisna?
Even flowers get affected in a sandstorm.
And Lakshmi?
She's still devoted to Lord Krishna.
"My god is in me"
"Do I need to go to a temple in search of god?"
"This existence is god..."
"I find you everywhere"
"Do I need to go to a temple in search of god?"
"Within me is the Destroyer, Preserver, Creator..."
"...And Lord Krishna!"
"Do I need to go to a temple in search of god?"
"This existence is god..."
"I find you everywhere."
"Do I need to go to a temple in search of god?"
"My god is in me!"
Beckett's daughter, Katherine is back!
Apparently she's beautiful. - Want to marry her?
Crazy? Who'd want to marry a foreigner?
Kisna... Where are you going?
I'll be right back my brother.
Recognize me?
Yes...
You are Ms. Katherine Beckett.
Daughter of our master Mr. Peter Beckett.
My father has been unfair.
Your father told me everything.
Will this politics affect our friendship?
Beautiful...
Guess, whose flute is this?
It's mine...
When your father...
Sent me away from India, you and all my friends.
How did you learn our guru's tune of Aham Brahmasmi?
Just the way you learnt my mother's piano notes.
I've written a song to that tune.
You speak fluent Hindi too. - Absolutely.
Beautiful...
Truly beautiful...
Remember this?
Jaggery... you loved it as a child.
Even now you eat it like a child.
Give me this flute...
It's mine. - Now this flute belongs to me.
Fine, keep it.
Do you remember... That's Devprayag there!
Kisna, what's the song you've Written?
Want to hear it? - Certainly!
"We're here, this moment together"
"Don't know what tomorrow holds"
"We may, may not come together"
"We may, may not see forever"
"Nothing survives forever... But love"
"A love that will always echo... On this land and the sky above"
"We're here, this moment together"
"Don't know what tomorrow holds."
"We may, may not come together."
"We may, may not see forever."
"Nothing survives forever... But love."
"A love that will always echo... On this land and the sky above."
I understand your anguish and pain my child...
He spent an entire day with that British girl.
Travelled up to Devprayag!
Like they're meant for each other.
You are misjudging him.
I've a solution.
Will you marry Kisna?
Tell me.
Mother, is it true that my marriage...
Yes, we've fixed it with Luxmi.
We are very happy.
But I don't want to marry now.
I've to work a lot for the school.
Ask your elder brother to break our family promise!
No, we've to keep our promise to our guru...
You've to respect the word of elders.
Engagement's day after, marriage's next month.
Lets' go for training...
Uncle Bhairo's waiting for us.
My dear, I've bought this horse for you.
So that We'd go horse riding every evening...
Why for me?
Because I love you.
But you're like my uncle!
Like an uncle, not really one.
I'm crazy about you.
You just say yes and I'll marry you right away.
Kisna's getting engaged tomorrow...
...With Luxmi. - With Luxmi?
Yes.
It was such a surprise...
Our guru offered Luxmi's hand in marriage for Kisna.
There couldn't be a better match!
Right?
"Lets' get this girl ready on her special day."
"Lets' adorn this charming girl with jewellery."
"Let get this girl ready on her special day."
"I've been waiting for this day all my life..."
"...To be with you, my love."
"As fresh as a flower..."
This girl is soon to be a bride
Her lips look a lovely red
My girl's looking exquisite...
Like morning sunrays through clouds so blue
The moment your bridegroom will look at you...
He'll fall in love with you
The most awaited day is here
The day when your charming bride to be is entering our lives
I welcome my love...
With love
I'm crazy about him...
"Sometimes sing and sometimes dance..."
"There is a passion in the heart."
"The body craves for love..."
"Intoxication increases slowly and slowly."
"My lips desire to be caressed."
"The heart is kindled with passion."
"The breathing is faster too."
"There is restlessness."
The most awaited day is here
I've been counting days for this day...
Joyful be the would-be bride and bridegroom.
My mother was annoyed by my behaviour.
I told her that Kisna is my best friend.
Mom told me that he WAS my friend. Not anymore.
She told me that he's Luxmi's fiancé now...
...her soon-to-be husband.
This friendship won't be appreciated by anyone...
...Especially by Luxmi.
My mother explained that we are two different peoples.
The hatred against the British...
...will remain till we don't leave their country.
Well, hold properly.
Make eye contact.
Defend! Yes, now strike back.
Come on...
Can we continue tomorrow? - No excuses!
Can I practice with Gaurang?
I dare not raise my sword upon you.
Damn the poet... Grow as a warrior now!
Villagers are dying after drinking water from the dirty lake.
Five died last week.
We need a revolutionary like Bhagat Singh in our village...
...To take care of that ruthless Beckett!
I may not be Bhagat Singh...
...but I am Shankar Singh!
These are five dead bodies.
Three men, a child...
...and an old lady.
All died drinking water from that dirty lake...
...That's given to us as alms!
So, what do I do?
Nothing...
Now, we'll take care of everything.
The people who die because of that water will be...
...cremated right here on your office grounds.
Burn!
The five villagers died because you poisoned them...
...But you've made the rebels believe it as Beckett's doing.
What do you want?
50 Acres of land on my name.
Revolution is not my aim.
It's just my business.
Make Beckett understand.
Beckett's gathering evidence to imprison you.
A radio announcement was made on 4th June 1947.
Lord Mountbatten declared British government's decision...
...To give freedom to India on 15th august 1947.
The British officers have to give up their post...
...Before 14th august and return to England.
Discussions took place on the partition of India and Pakistan.
LORD Mountbatten and Mr Gandhi will participate in the discussion.
Along with them Sardar Patel, Mr Jinnah and Nehru too will participate
Gandhi appealed to all Indians to observe a prayer for peace.
"May there be peace in space, land, waters and the universe..."
"Let peace prevail in the world and negativities destroyed."
I hope no one is aware of our plan.
Got hold of Kisna? - Searched all over...
Attacked Phunkara despite being a younger brother.
Find Kisna and confine him.
The commissioner's house was on fire! All charred.
Everything will be fine.
You have the answer to the question in your eyes.
You're reading the Gita since childhood.
To protect an innocent girl is...
Not only revering god...
...But also the foremost duty of a man.
My brother?
Be it your brother or mine...
...their act is unjust!
A fight against injustice is righteousness.
And this girl deserves justice.
I'm with you.
You have my blessings.
Take this girl to a British cantonment or Delhi.
It's my order.
Mother, where are you? - Coming...
Luxmi, I saw them flee together.
He got engaged to you under the pressure of his family.
He's love and friendship with Katherine...
He's eloped with her!
Mother, he didn't even ask you before he chose this perilous path.
I don't know what's right or wrong...
...But I know that just one son will survive!
No my son!
Choose to pray for whomever you want to...
This act of Kisna will ruin all of us.
Hey Nandu, sing your song!
"Sing a song that touches my heart."
"Lets' decide whose songs are better."
"I'll sing such songs that you'll have to agree."
"That my songs are better than any song can be."
"Sing a song that touches my heart."
Kisna, the men hunting for you inquired about you to me...
I knew you'd be here any moment.
We should stay with you for a couple of days and then move ahead.
In my house.
No way!
My orthodox parent-in-laws, my wife won't welcome you.
They'll throw me out of their house.
Nandu. Listen to me.
I've a way out...
We'll stay at your house and you won't be thrown out.
How's that?
Mother, my husband is bringing guests again...
Here they are!
Guests are like gods!
She's so beautiful and fair...
Just like a British!
She is British.
My respects to you.
Touch her feet.
No problem. She's British, thus ignorant.
Don't know how to touch the feet...
Please forgive her... she'll learn.
She'll learn.
It's a love marriage.
She's the daughter of a British Officer...
...and he's an Indian officer.
As soon as they got the chance, they got married.
Her father disowned her and returned to England.
But she's adapting to Hindu ways.
Isn't it?
You had told me about that?
Yes.
And her name is Gangotri!
How long will they stay here?
Two days...
Yes.
Come, receive blessings from her father.
- My respects to you. - Bless you.
Touch his feet. - Give the trunk to me!
Bless you with a happy married life!
This is Seetaram.
Take it my son.
May god soon bless you with a son!
Traditional blessings...
They seem tired, show them your room.
I'm giving my all...
...clothes, linen, jewellery, my room!
By the way, we're used to sleeping on the terrace! Isn't it?
Gangotri and Kisna.
I thought you're fast asleep.
Mother sent some milk for you.
Milk.
Why?
Haven't you explained to her our customs.
Why don't you explain to her?
Really.
Well, Gangotri,
newly-weds drink milk so that...
Yes?
What?
So that they produce a healthy child!
With a glass of milk?
Yes... It does!
The child born is in a good health.
Make her understand, Kisna!
You too...
Nandu. Where are you?
I talk to you.
That's so absurd!
It's not absurd...
...it's our customs.
Don't bother...
Lets' drink the milk! - What?!
We'll drink it together.
Good night... just go to sleep!
Let me sleep.
Don't mull over all this.
But I want to drink! - Why?
I feel like it and not to produce a child...
Shall I speak now? -Yes, go ahead.
Boss.
The superintendent says he couldn't trace Katherine but Jennifer's been found.
Not Jennifer, I want Katherine.
She's my dream girl.
Find her in 24 hours!
Understand.
As you say. Get out now.
But you've promised to make me your princess!
Come.
I'll fulfill your dream.
Find Katherine or you won't remain alive.
Kisna. -Yes.
What's that?
That's a Hindu family immersing the ashes of a late relative...
...in the Ganges.
Why?
His soul will attain salvation.
And...
And he'll achieve his unfulfilled wishes in his next birth.
Amazing!
You've any wish?
I told you that that white girl spell- bound him since childhood.
Eloped with her having made enemies out of his own family.
Can I say something? - What.
Your love has a flaw. -flaw?
Yes.
What flaw? - I'll tell you.
Your love has no faith.
True love implies faith, patience and sacrifice. Not jealousy.
Yes.
I'm jealous and will remain so.
Jealousy is a part of love.
You always take Kisna's side.
Sometimes I feel you're not my grandpa.
Always consider me in the wrong!
So that in the worship of goddess Ganga this flower...
Hail the supreme mother, my respects to her.
- Hide your face. - What happened?
God save you from evil eyes. Turn.
I swear Kisna hasn't come.
I would've explained to him, he's totally in the wrong!
Alright, look out for him.
Let him know...
...he has offended his brother, uncle and family.
He has rebelled.
The rascal!
He has put all our lives in danger.
He has put his life in danger.
That too for a white girl!
He didn't do the right thing.
Let our informer know if he comes here. We'll get to know.
Come.
Yes.
Pray to God that I don't ever confront my brother.
I can fight with anything in life except my brother.
I understand.
Don't worry.
Stay one more day.
So that they can go far ahead.
Anyway today's Gangadashmi and also a celebration for Lord Krishna.
My dear poet, did you write a song for Lord Krishna celebration?
I've written a song to the tune that you were just humming.
Just as I thought!
Hey Rukmani,
Stop.
We've a new song.
Kisna.
What's this song about?
On Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha.
Who are they?
Radha and Krishna.
In India, all lovers are seen as Lord Krishna and Radha.
Do we get to join in this celebration?
No, Katherine!
It's not safe anywhere except by the river bank of Shivpuri.
But I'll show you the celebration from here.
Okay. - Okay.
"Kisna the Lord is all in one and one in all"
"He's vibrant, a poet, a warrior..."
"He's a lover, a musician..."
"So clever and kind..."
"A king... a commoner..."
"A philosopher..."
"He charms one and all..."
"That's Kisna for you..."
"A king... commoner..."
"A philosopher..."
"He charms one and all"
"That's Kisna for you."
"She's deeply in love..."
"She's sleepless in love"
"She's deeply in love.'"
"She's sleepless in love."
"She's unaware of the world"
"They say she's head over heels in love"
"On meeting Kisna, she forgets every other bond in life..."
"She just chants his name all the time."
"Lives every moment of her life for Kisna..."
"That's Radha for you..."
"She's beautiful in all ways... by heart, face and mind"
"Her love for Kisna is deeper than the ocean..."
"That's Radha for you..."
"A king... commoner..."
"A philosopher."
"He charms one and all."
"That's Kisna for you."
"Lives every moment of her life for Kisna..."
"That's Radha for you"
Bhairo's men have left Haridwar and reached Faizabad.
They're hunting for both of you there.
Lets' catch the 7 a.m. train to Delhi.
You take the bus...
We'll reach by horse cart.
Got scared? - Yes.
Are you alright now?
Leaving today?
Here is a sari and shawl for you.
What did you like most in Rishikesh?
The Ganges...
Kisna...
And... you!
Why me?
Your love... Your sacrifice. - What sacrifice?
Gave me your bedroom and clothes, made my stay so memorable.
No big deal!
It is a big deal. We don't do so much...
...That too for a stranger.
Well, that's India for you!
That's why I love India so much and am sad about leaving it.
I know why you're leaving. - How?
My husband Nandu can't lie and I knew it...
that Kisna and you aren't married.
Kisna's ensuring that you reach home safely...
I stayed quiet because they're on the right path.
Isn't it?
I liked it that you love our Hindu ways.
But now I feel sad...
...feels like my own sister is leaving me.
It's time to leave, not to cry.
"My life is no life without you..."
"O, Nandlal of Brij!"
"My life is no life without you."
"Oh, Nandlal of Brij!"
"My life is no life without you."
"O, Nandlal of Brij!"
Can I get two tickets for Delhi? - Yes.
What have you done?
If you had informed me earlier I would have found a way out.
A huge war like the Mahabharata will begin between the brothers.
Your ruthless brother Bhairo's sworn to get them killed!
Do you know something?
Even Luxmi has left in search of Kisna with Vasu.
She's crazy... absolutely crazy!
"Tell me something..."
"I discover something new in you... Every time"
"Either you blush or you tease..."
"Why so different all the time..."
"Tell me something... Why are you so crazy..."
"Whenever I meet you my heart misses a beat"
"Why do you play hide and seek with me?"
"Sometimes you ask me..."
"...why my scarf is falling down...."
"So tell me..."
"Why are you so crazy... crazy boy?"
"When you look out for me..."
"The strands of hair fly across your face..."
"When you look out for me."
"The strands of hair fly across your face."
"When I look into your eyes I feel special within..."
"Your eyes tease and invite at the same time..."
"These eyes are bound to make you feel restless..."
"Every time I think of you..."
"My heart swells with love"
"Why are you so crazy. Crazy boy."
"Please come back, my love!"
Is it true that Kisna and Katherine stayed at your house?
Obviously! Kisna's a childhood friend of my husband...
But... They...
I'll explain! They enjoyed their stay.
We gave them a separate room.
They stayed as a married couple, together.
Together?
Together.
Yes, just like Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha.
Kathy looked just like Radha.
And they took a sacred dip in the Ganges, right there.
Where have they gone now? - Just day before...
Oh, I'm not supposed to tell anyone...
I told you because your father is Kisna's guru.
Perhaps you don't know...
I'm Kisna's to-be-wife.
What?!
See, I have chalked out the route to Delhi
But isn't she safe with her mother?
But I worry about prince Raghuraj's intentions.
On this spot is a guest house of a prince...
You stay here... I may get back to you.
It's just a betrayal.
It's not... I just want to marry Katherine...
...want to protect her.
She's your friends' daughter!
Relationships do change.
Don't you trust me?
I don't trust any Indian now...
But my mother was British.
My father had married twice.
You're neither British nor Indian.
You're a street dog!
You look angry, but...
Who's there?
My respects to your highness!
Kisna.
I'm Kisna.
How did you get here?
I'm their servant's son.
My mother sent me to protect them.
I like your intentions and thoughts.
Welcome, loyal son of servant!
Thanks my Lord! Can I sit here?
Sit on my head...
I can't commit such a blunder.
A chair will do...
Thank you, I'm very hungry!
Eat as much as you want.
How do you intend taking my fiancée away from me!
Boss.
My mother says the rich have money, strength, army, servants.
Everything.
But the poor fight the corrupt rich with just one asset.
What's that?
A determination.
And you're determined to fight me?
Yes.
Here?
Absolutely!
Now?
Yes.
How?
Like this... Let's go ma'am!
Come on, run!
What happened your highness?
Catch them, you idiot!
Should I call a doctor?
Fire! looks like your aim has gone bad!
Get out from here!
You've the fate of a loser!
You're pointing a gun to the saving grace of your destiny?!
That too in this state!
Who did this to you?
Who are you?
We.
Have you heard of the cuckoo of India...
...The famous courtesan of Lucknow, Naima Begum.
She's the prince's...
Queen of dreams!
I'm her favourite aide. My name's Jumman Masum Kishti.
Here's a letter for the prince from Naima Begum.
What letter?
Idiot! I'll explain!
Naima Begum is performing tonight at the palace of Nawab Shaukat.
A celebration to woo the beauty Naima Begum.
Here's the letter for him.
The prince isn't keeping well.
Just mention Naima Begum and he'll feel better in no time.
But you are?
Visit any colourful lane of Lucknow and mention my name, Jumman.
They'll kiss your hand!
Is that so? - But wear your pants...
A few rogues still hang around!
Here's the letter for the prince.
Okay, I'll deliver this message... ...straight to him.
It's upto him if he wants to come!
Kisna has moved towards Faizabad.
I'll skin him alive!
On our way to Delhi, Jumman uncle!
Don't sweet talk me. Get down!
I did see you getting into my vehicle...
...Escaping from the prince.
I thought I'll sort it out later.
I appreciate... these two homeless women... And I...
...Only you can save their lives.
Me?
You're famous for your good deeds.
I've been a rascal all my life...
Where did you hear of my good deeds?
Uncle.
He's charming you! - Yes, I know!
We charm the gods too in times of crisis, right?
Charming... Tell me your tale.
Look.
If your tale is genuine, then I'll help you...
...Or else I'll leave you on the way to Faizabad.
Got it... Your story has truth and pain as well.
Please explain to them that they do exactly as I say.
Firstly, I'll take them to the servant quarters near the palace.
Then whatever Allah wishes. Make them understand!
We understood Jumman.
Eh, you didn't tell me that they speak Hindi too.
I hope I didn't blabber! Thank God, I didn't swear.
There's a celebration tonight at the Nawab's palace.
I can give you shelter but there's a problem.
The Nawab hates the British...
...and the rogue Raghuraj may arrive!
Only one person can save us... Naima Begum!
No worries, I'll take you safely to Delhi tomorrow morning.
Make sure that the guest-room is properly embellished, Ruksana.
Jumman... Where have you been? Everyone is searching for you.
I have been wandering...
This is Saira, elder wife of Nawab Akhtar of Azamgadh...
This is their daughter Nazima and their son-in-law Aslam.
Guests of Naima Begum are very important to us.
Make sure that they're taken care of.
Surely.
Excuse me. - No problem!
Please introduce us to Naima Begum!
Wait, I've to check her disposition first!
Meanwhile, be at ease.
Jumman
Why do I hear a falter in your voice today?
Well...
I'm aware of every nuance of your voice.
Very true!
You want to give them shelter under my name? Isn't it?
Yes.
You've nothing to hide, instead you should be proud of it.
Actually, they're in deep trouble.
Ali told me the entire story... I'd like to meet them.
As you wish.
There were a few guests here. - I don't know.
Welcome...
Nawab sir.
It's indeed a star studded night.
The star has arrived!
Naima Begum has been asking for you.
Here I am... Just for her.
Your eye?
Don't care for anything... if Naima's there!
You are?
She's my new wife Husna.
You're fortunate Nawab Sahib. - Please come in.
Where have they gone?
They're sitting in the women section.
And he?
He too... At a special place.
What a mess! Oh God... save me!
Problem Naima Begum!
They've been seated in separate sections.
So?
The problem is that prince Raghuraj is here too!
Jumman
Only the envious make a celebration brighter...
You take care of the lovers...
I'll look after the envious.
Go.
"Strange is thou veil..."
"Neither you hide, nor you appear..."
Listen.....listen......listen.... you listen!
Veil....my veil....this veil..... veil....veil....veil...
Will not be raised.
"Charms won't be found."
Listen.....listen......listen.... you listen!
"O my love..."
"This veil will not let you see this beauty"
"O my love..."
"This veil will not let you see this beauty"
"No veil can hide..."
"...the sparks of beauty..."
"O my love..."
"This veil Will not let you see this beauty"
Listen.....listen......listen.... you listen!
"Charms won't be found."
"Shade of tresses won't be found."
"Strange is our tale of love..."
"Silence spoke all those words"
"Strange is our tale of love..."
"I adore thou passion"
"Thank you"
"I'd like to know your intention"
"Just wish to chant your name!"
"You seem like a stranger to me."
"So far... Yet so close to me... May you be my destiny"
"You seem like a stranger to me."
"I'm not fortunate to have you..."
"Yet you seem to be my destiny"
"O my love..."
"This veil will not let you see this beauty"
"Remove the veil for a moment"
"Let me see the beauty once"
"I'll have you in my heart"
"I feel you in every breath"
"My eyes may always carry the portrait of your beauty"
"The loneliness which is coming will bring along pangs of sorrows"

"you'll feel the throb of my heart beat"
"you're behind the veil"
"Let the spark of your beauty pass through it"
"The admirers will be exhilarated in the ruptures of sparkly beauty"
Your highness...
Win the heart of a woman with love, not with a gun!
It's a personal matter, stay out Of it!
What if I don't?
Interesting! My admirer now wants my life?
Kill me, but save yourself first.
Turn.
Thank you Kisna!
He's under my custody and you're free.
My prayers to Allah for your safety.
Kisna, please leave. Jumman's waiting outside.
Thank you, Naima Begum.
There's a limit to everything in life.
Don't look at life through one eye... your highness.
None will dare to stop Naima's buggy.
Here's some food and water for the journey. Lets' leave.
Thank you.
India is a poor country.
But we Indians have a big heart!
We survive because of love and relationships.
Doesn't matter if we go hungry!
Why Kisna.
Hey, why are you crying?
I'll miss you... My childhood friend.
Don't worry.
Kisna will take care.
Don't stop, keep moving!
Search them.
We'll search for your mother in the morning...
Don't worry, I'll survive.
Don't speak, just sleep.
They're hidden somewhere in these jungles.
"We're this time here."
We don't know where we'll be next.
We might not meet... We might not live...
This saga will always be here.
The sky will hear this echo...
I feel like I'm experiencing my own death.
Please don't misunderstand.
Do you think I can't perceive?
I dedicated my entire life to you...
...And you've betrayed me!
I've not betrayed you.
This is my duty!
Holding a white girl in your arms is your duty!
That's enough!
Don't utter a word more!
You're my wife-to-be...
...I expect you to stand by me through every ordeal.
I've to ensure that Katherine reaches Delhi safely.
I'm willing to fight every battle. It's my duty...
...And my mother's command!
How dare she?!
Pushed you to a perilous path without asking me!
I'll turn a widow tomorrow, not she!
Saving one girl & making another a widow. Is that fair?
I ask you & your mother!
You've lost your mind in anger.
Yes!
Assume whatever you want...
...But right now I'm going to stand by Katherine.
Stand by her, die for each other!
We've nothing between us now.
I don't belong to you nor you belong to me!
But I leave both of you with a curse in my heart!!
Luxmi's right...
Please go back to her.
It's my choice!
Don't try to explain to me what's right or wrong!
Both of you're right.
I'm wrong!
My decision's to stand by you, come what may.
Whether I live or die... This is my decision.
At least listen to me.
A bloodstained sword in Kisna's Hands! Tables have turned!
You know very well why!
She's the enemy's daughter!
But she isn't the enemy.
She's British!
She's a girl.
Will you kill your own family for her?
I'll commit a sin.
Hand her over!
That'll be a greater sin!
Do you think that you're Arjuna of Mahabharata...
...Who fought his brothers.
No, I'm just Kisna.
The son of Shanta and Sriram, Shankar's brother and your nephew.
And you will fight us?
No, but I will protect Katherine.
Skin them alive!
British.
Look, I'm going to skin this white girl alive.
I couldn't help it... he was going to kill the girl...
Well done!
Now you're Lord Krishna in the truest sense.
Killed your uncle, now it's my turn.
Come, kill me with the same sword.
No, I'm younger to you.
I beg of you...
Please don't put me through this ordeal of a dilemma.
You've to decide.
Your brother...
...or that white girl!
Now I'm going to kill her...
...And you will kill me.
And none will interfere!
No. brother.
All of you stay wherever you are!
And watch how a younger brother kills his elder brother.
Look.
No... Please... don't do this!
For mothers' sake... Please!
Leave me!
No... I won't!
- Move aside! - Listen to me.
That's enough!
Don't compel me!
Our mother ordered me to protect this girl whom you intend to kill.
Your mother.
Mother has also commanded me to fight for justice...
...Even with my own brother!
My death is most likely...
...But you've to stay alive...
...for our mother.
She'll lose both her sons.
That's unfair on her!
Let me go! I beg of you!
For the sake of our mother...
...Or else it'll be disastrous!
Please don't fight because of me.
India is my birthplace and I'd rather die here.
Shankar, please kill me!
Heard that?
I won't hesitate even to slay you now...
I swear upon our mother!
Do you love Katherine?
Tell me, do you love her?
Yes, now I do! I love Katherine!
Katherine belongs to me!
I'm taking her away...
Amidst through all here.
I want Kisna dead!
"Seasons change..."
"Time passes by..."
"As days turn into nights..."
"Moments become memories..."
"Love survives forever..."
"We're this time here."
We don't know where we'll be next.
We might not meet... we might not live...
This saga will always be here.
The sky will hear this echo...
I'd ordered him to fight this battle...
...And to protect that helpless girl.
I'm disappointed with you.
Jealousy has made you crazy!
Yes, I'm crazy!
Actually, Kisna and that British girl were...
shut up!
You've no right to say a word against my Kisna!
Is there a hospital en route to Delhi.
There's a hospital one mile away but it's in a bloody and gory state.
Why?
Partition! Hindus and Muslims are killing each other.
Even you should turn back.
A curfew's declared till 4 o' clock in Paligunj, Ghaziabad.
People can resume to normal lives between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Mahatma Gandhi's appealed to all Hindus and Muslims...
...to stop massacre on the issue of partition.
Stop the vehicle or else we'll fire!
Are you a Hindu or Muslim?
Who's this girl?
I'm Kisna.
I'm taking my master's daughter to Delhi.
Hey boy.
Can't you see there's a curfew?
Want to die?
Come on, get out!
999, One less than 1000.
Feels like I've seen this Jeep before.
999, sir.
This jeep belongs to prince Raghuraj!
- What's your name? - Kisna.
Hit him.
Light the fire and run. Hindus are coming!
Kisna.
Stop! Riots are on and you're traveling...
Who's in this car?
- Come out. - We.
Prince Raghuraj!
Sir...
Your highness, why are you here in this mess?
Riots are on between Hindus and Muslims!
Allah! Such mayhem!
Please reverse your car!
Your jeep 999 was just here.
Yes, one less than 1000.
That is...
There was a boy and a white girl!
A boy?
What was his name?
Kisna.
Kisna
Where have they gone? - They've just turned towards Paligunj.
I want that white girl...
find her.
Stay right here!
Who are you?
What is your name?
Hindu or Muslim?
Tell.
Strip your clothes off and show!
What are you looking at? Strip your clothes off!
Strip.
He...
He's my husband...
He's Christian...
He's my husband.
His name is John Thomas!
How do we believe you?
Look.
Now tell me if he's Hindu or Muslim?
He's my husband!
Why do you fight?
It's your country now!
It's your concern.
Let us go, please!
Leave, why are you here?!
Come.
Stop here, look, it's that same British girl, take her along.
Take her along.
But we need to take you only.
Come on, take her.
Please listen to me.
Inspector. please listen to me.
Hail our motherland!
Please treat her like a lady.
She's my fiancée
Come...
Listen...
I belong only to Kisna!
How dare you slap me?!
You are Kisna's beloved, eh? Prior to that, you'll have to be mine.
Kisna.
Are you Kisna? - Yes.
We're from the British India office.
We're very proud of your victory.
Please sign on this paper.
Paper.
Katherine and Jennifer Beckett believe your life's in danger.
She's reached safely with someone called Jumman.
Thank God...
On their request you've permission to go to England.
You've to sign on these papers.
And leave for England as a family member tonight.
Who did all this?
Katherine Beckett.
May I meet Katherine?
I got the message to travel to England with you.
This means that we stay with each other forever. Isn't it?
We've happened to love each other deeply in this journey.
And now this is an inner truth of our life.
We're soul mates and will remain that way forever.
But the real truth of life is that my fiancée Luxmi is waiting for me.
And I've to return to her.
I'm committed to her.
I don't understand.
To reach you here was my duty.
Now I've to fulfill my commitment.
I have to go back to Luxmi and accept this reality of life.
This is our culture.
Sometimes even by letting go, love reaches greater heights...
In separation too we attain a greatness in love.
Love does not only mean being together.
Parting is also love.
Katherine.
Don't cry.
Sometimes in life we believe a comma to be a full stop.
A full stop is only at the end of life.
Our love hasn't ended, it's begun with this parting.
Take care of yourself.
I've to stay in my new born country.
You've to go back to your country.
Let's depart with pride...
When you smile you look very beautiful...
Just smile once...
That was my Kisna!
And our Kisna, too.
Yes, yours too?
I'm Kisna's youngest son Karan Singh.
Kisna's no more. He passed away five years ago.
He fulfilled all his duties and departed.
And Luxmi?
My mother Luxmi's still with us.
We're two brothers and a sister.
Would you like to meet her?
Laxmi.
Recognize me?
Katherine.
Laxmi.
Your son told me...
It's very nice of you to have come here...
Perhaps I'm still alive because I had to meet you.
In 1947, after Kisna left you in Delhi, he came back to marry me.
He fulfilled all my dreams.
We raised a family together. He kept me happy.
But I got a husband and not his love.
He loved you... Katherine.
And I got to know he loved you immensely...
...when he expressed his last wish before his death.
Last wish.
...That his ashes be immersed only at Shivpuri's banks of the Ganges...
...the place where the two of you took a sacred dip...
...And your souls had felt a divine unity for the first time.
He'd told me about it one day.
We fulfilled his last wish.
We immersed his ashes there...
He merged in the Ganges of your love forever.
Look.
Remember this flute given by you?
Kisna would play the same tune in solitude...
He would hum a song seated at the banks of Devprayag.
I felt jealous then...
But now I'm proud of him.
The love of two souls is far greater than any kind of love...
...That's what Kisna believed.
Having loved and lost, and still loving till the end of time...
...is the greatest love... It's true love.
That was our Kisna!
He loved you so much and I misunderstood...
Lady Katherine Williams declared to open a school here...
...in the name of the great person Kisna.
This world famous lady said that the real India lies in villages.
Having heard her story we believe it more strongly...
...that Lord Krishna comes as a Kisna time and again...
...and makes us realize the true value of India.
We discovered a secret part to lady Katherine's story.
Even now she loves him the way he did.
She too had got written in her will that on her demise...
...her ashes be brought to India...
...and be immersed in the Ganges at the banks of Shivpuri.
Our love hasn't ended, it's begun with this parting.
"We're this time here."
"We don't know where we'll be next."
"We might not meet... We might not live..."
"This saga will always be here."
"The sky will hear this echo..."
