This old fakir born and wandering in Himachal Pradesh is Mandhari.
Grieving for his long lost friends...
this artist wanders the length of the country.
He has been witness to the history of Sanatanpufs traders.
“A bunch of tamarind, and the branch laden with berries“
“The tamarind is sour, but the berries are sweet“
“In these forests, you and I are the only tigers“
'Let's go home... we're getting late”
One was the son of a farmer, the other of a king.
But childhood is a form of God.
What does it know of the gap between a commoner and king?
One day Raju broke his leg pushing Veeru‘s cart.
The doctor prohibited Raju from attending school for a fortnight.
Veeru took a pledge before God..
Till Raju‘s leg gets better...
He too would walk on one leg.
Such was the friendship of Raju and Veeru.
When the village hoodlum. Baliram ogled at Raju‘s sister...
Veeru couldn't bear it.
Baliram! How dare you lay a finger on my friend!
You son of a bitch!
- I will wring your neck! - Leave him, Raju. I say leave him!
No, he eyed my sister! I will kill him!
- Brother Raju! - No, you won't kill him.
I bind you by a promise! For my sake!
You bound me by a promise and helped him flee.
Yes, I did. But you won't kill him.
“Why is the earth round, my friend?“
“Why does everything have a price-tag to it?“
“lfs mere hogwash...“
“there are ulterior motives conditions in love“
“The tamarind and the berries...“
“the tamarind is sour, but the berries are sweet“
“We are the only two tigers in these forests...“
'Let's go home, we're getting late”
Rajeshwafs sister, Kanta loved Veer Singh with her heart.
When Raju‘s wife discovered this...
Rajeshwar went to Veeru‘s elder sister with the proposal.
Brother, I'm very happy.
We're happier than you, silly girl.
After this day, their friendship will change to relation.
Sister dear, did you hear what your husband has done?
What is he doing?
On Pali's wedding he's giving 1200 acres of mountain land..
And Thakurgarh to Veer Singh.
Chuniya, if I ruled the earth...
I'd give it all away to Veeru.
- Did you find where he is? - Yes, he'd spoken to me.
He's gone for Ram ShastrFs daughter's wedding.
No sir. Don't take back the wedding procession.
I'll pay you every penny of the dowry
But please"
The groom will turn back!
Let's go, my son.
No. Once the groom leaves the wedding scene"
- Who will marry my daughter? - No need to beg him.
To fall at his feet.
The daughter of our village is our honour.
Then why don't you marry her?
- Veeru! What have you done? - Nothing.
Your slap ruined my La><mi‘s life!
- Nothing will happen. I say it. - Now who will marry her.
What are you asking him? He's got 1200 acres land as dowry!
What have you done?
Thakur!
She has consumed poison!
Get a shroud for your sister not a wedding dress.
A shroud!
Your friend has proven to be a good friend.
My friend, at least ask me what happened.
What can I ask you?
Should I ask you why you did not die instead of coming here?
Should I ask why you cremated a life long friendship?
Or should I ask...
Will you cover my sister's corpse with your wife's scarf?
Raw is dead and Veeru is ﬁnished.
You betrayer! Why are you instigating matters here?
- Take this jinx...! - Shut up, you dog!
How dare you I!
Take this bastard away!
Go away.
Before I get blood on my hands...
Just go away.
Pal, you were right.
Raju is dead and Veeru is finished.
Consider that to be true.
Laxmi, come on.
Rajeshwar left Sanatanpur and went abroad.
The sun of friendship set for all times to come.
25 years went by.
Rajeshwar was expanding his business abroad.
And his sons have sworn to build their own Palinagar.
Uncle, Gajindar and Devindar promise you..
Every field of Sanatanpur will be ruled by our factories.
Every farmer here will be our slave.
Veeru alias Veer Singh had become the Village Chief.
He had two sons who were merchants of fruit and vegetables.
Right?
It is said there's no better way to apply vermilion.
You and your new fangled ideas!
Nobody heard of a father teaching his son to whistle.
The father never shot a hen and the son is a marksman!
The father did what he had to and the son is learning to whistle.
- Aunt... - What?
Have you any idea of what your brother is doing?
- What is Gagan doing? - Loading his gun with bullets.
The news is true.
It isn't just a conspiracy to wipe out our farmers.
They plan to finish Rajeshwar and Dadabir too.
- Both will be cremated there. - Now you understand politics.
You've got the brain of a dog!
- What? - Baliram is right.
But dogs are loyal to their masters.
Do you think your politics will succeed?
No. One day you will be the king of Sanatanpur?
No. You'll bury Dadaveer and Rajeshwar?
Never! You can out the branches of their love.
But not their roots. This can never happen.
And I will expose you for the rascal you are to Rajeshwar.
Me!
Wait for your destruction. Of your devastation.
No! I became a widow. I can't be the mother of no kids!
- Don't send him away! - It's not safe for him here.
Vasu‘s life is in danger in Sanatanpur.
My father desires that you raise him.
But this violence has to end somewhere.
Bonds. If love can be obliterated by hatred.
Only love can erase hatred.
The rest is destiny. What has to happen will.
Yes, collector. I've returned to Palmagar.
I'll meet you tonight in regard with VishaFs death.
Sure. Come home.
Around 9 PM.
Don't tremble. The job's been done.
Conspiracy!
Your dear friend Veer Singh spun such a web..
We cold do nothing at all!
And you got imprisoned for 14 years!
14 years is nothing.
Thakur Rajeshwar Singh will return after 114 years too!
And then he'll see Veer Singh being annihilated before his eyes!
Army officers took over the task of ending this mayhem in the hills.
They made the river Bees flowing through Palinagar and Sanatanpun.
...the border of these 2 villages.
Both appointed their own guards.
Many years went by.
Rajeshwar was burning behind the prison bars.
And Dadaveer gave guns to his farmers.
But he couldn't forget the companionship of his friend.
In this world of drunken capitalists...
There was no place for truth.
It didn't take long to digest this news from the palace.
This is Gaja‘s daughter, Rajeshwafs granddaughter, Radha.
She's finished college and come here for the first time for a break.
Dear...
Are you Gaja‘s daughter?
Yes and you...?
You are Mandhari, aren't you?
You're out of your room again! Go back to your room!
And don't you dare step out!
Are you sad? Let's dance together.
We'll get you married, my son.
But first let me get married.
Your marriage..?
This is your third mother.
- My name is Pammy. - And I'm Rummy.
And I'm Yummy.
They are her sisters. Part of her dowry.
She talks in English!
- What's wrong with my dear sis? - I'll go back to Delhi!
- I won't stay here! - Hey...why?
Everyone keeps scolding me.
Father has changed so much after mother passed away.
Everyone would know if grand daddy were here.
I too come here every year In the vaoatnons.
Nobody here loves anyone.
There's the palace, wealth and that's it.
I feel suffocated!
I go horse riding every morning. Come with me.
Really?
Amla, have you got the idol of Lord Krishna?
Yes.
But what's the matter? Celebrating Janmashtami with pomp.
Why not? His darling nephew Vasu returns after 14 years.
The prince of Sanatanpur returns.
Goodness me! You're still stuck here?
You have to go and get Vasu here.
Sister, where is Aarti?
There's so much work. Everything waits for her.
Your dear daughter-in-law is sitting in the room.
She's reading the letter Sir wrote praising Vasu.
- She's already read it. - Why not?
Her son is returning.
Her youthful son. Talented and young. Just like me.
- You? - Yes.
”The heart-throb of the milkmaids...”
“The might one, who decimated the evil demon“
“Glory to Lord Krishna“
“O Lord of Gokul. Krishna...“
“l pine to see You. Please do come“
”On the banks of the Jamuna, when the mischievous Krishna...”
“plays the flute, Radha will dance“
“Krishna will play the flute and Radha will dance“
“O Krishna, King of Gokul...
“my eyes long to see You. Please do come“
“Please do come...“
- Sir's daughter has gone to the river. - What?
Look there.
- Where's Vasu? - Don't know.
They've gone to look for Vasu.
Go home. This is Palinagar.
Madam, ifs not right to enter enemy area.
Why?
Now do you understand?
- Will you come back here? - Of course.
No..
If you come back, only come to this border.
By the way, my name is Vasudev.
I'm the son of the enemy.
Mother...
Mother..
You heard me in this noise?
The mother‘s voice is heard even in the nether world.
All these years I only heard your voice and father's whistle.
May you live long, my child. I hid and came here to meet you.
Why?
I'd prohibited you.
Where had you gone? You‘|| stay at the security post not home.
Like you these are soldiers who left home to guard Sanatanpur.
Henceforth you‘|| stay with these men! Understand?
Grandpa?
My darling..
What..is all this?
Your uncle has done the right thing.
These days the enemy has a upper hand in Sanatanpur.
For today...
For that my Vasu you have to take the form of Krishna"
..that he had in Mahabharata.
And fight.
Till the enemy gives up.
If you command it, Vasu will offer his head.
The enemy head will be chopped. Why should yours, my child?
They are our enemies!
Don't you dare step towards the river!
I'll break your legs!
- Who came to drop you to the gate? - Papa, I don‘t know.
Today we'll show Vasu the fort of the enemy..
...that we have to ruin.
Yes, Thakurgarh..
Where our lives are sold.
- ...to foreigners. - But how will we go there?
Disguised as soldiers.
- Where's Vasu? - Can't be seen.
Hey...why is this place dark?
There's no light. Go carefully. The enemy has invaded the village.
“|‘m crazy about you... I bring to you my heart“
“In love...“
“love has left me worthless“
- Did anyone come to your room? - No, nobody did.
Go and search.
“Your bangles tinkle somewhere nearby“
“There is however so much of helplessness... and this distance“
“Embrace me and do away with them all...“
“all the grouse I hold against you“
Listen...
The next time don't cross this boundary.
Why?
My name is Radha. I'm the daughter of the enemy.
Listen...
- Today Vasu did the unimaginable. - What?
He got in the enemy fort. He fought and beat them up.
Got shot, removed the bullet and returned.
My grandson.
Enemy?
Friend.
Funny. You city folk call this good luck?
- I mean something good is to happen. - ls that so?
Yes, good luck.
Your soldiers.
Who was he?
I'm for your protection.
I can protect myself.
Yes, Her Majesty Radha Singh Thakur.
A 4 feet high girl with a 4 foot long name!
Yes. This is how my name is written in English.
My English is better than yours.
- What do you mean? - What does this mean?
Yes, just T.
- I said just T. - Just T?
- What? - T means Tea?
- Tea? - Yes, tea.
- Tea. - Now, what is this?
No, C means look.
To look.
It's high class English.
What does these 3 letters together make?
- What does that mean? - It has no meaning.
- It has. - No.
It means something. Think.
- Kunal is here. I must leave. - Think about it.
Think about the meaning all night.
Give me a clue. A hint near about.
When a flower blooms in the garden..
The moth said...
When the dark clouds crown the mountains...
The wind said, ILU.
Yes, quickly tell me the meaning. I've wagered a bet.
Silly girl. ILU means...
“l love you“
“Whafs ILU ILU?“
“Whenever a flower blossomed in the gardens, the bee said..“
“ILU, ILU“
“When dark clouds hovered in the skies. the breeze said...“
“When you begin to like someone and begin to fall in love...“
“this heart says, ILU ILU“
”ILU means I.L.U”
“ILU stands for I Love You“
“Whafs ILU ILU?“
“Whenever a flower blossomed in the gardens. the bee said...“
“When dark clouds hovered in the skies. the breeze said...“
“When you begin to like someone and begin to fall in love...“
“the heart goes...“
”ILU is I.L.U”
“Whafs ILU ILU?“
“When someone says sweet words to you...“
“words sweeter than sugar...“
“when Spring comes to the villages...“
“when the soil comes alive with fragrance...“
“the heart goes... ILU ILU“
“l love you“
“The stars probably go crazy in the monsoons...“
“when the pea-hen. the nightingale and the robin...“
“kick up a storm in your dreams...“
”and there's just one voice you can hear...”
“the heart goes... ILU ILU“
“Whafs ILU ILU?“
“In love, they say...“
“two hearts come together“
“lfs a bird that flies the coop“
“When love casts its spell...“
“the heart goes, ILU ILU“
“In this world of falsehoods, my friends...“
“when someone speaks the truth...“
“when birds awaken at dawn...“
“when the conch is sounded at the Shiva temple...“
“when they sing in praise of Allah in the mosques...“
“this heart goes ILU ILU“
He has come.
Rajeshwar Singh has returned home after serving a 14 year sentence.
Grandpa!
I'm so glad you're back!
|‘ve been waiting for you. Where had you gone?
I didn't know you were coming today.
Even the Maker doesn't know when I come and when I leave.
Lightning strikes the sky and doesn't illuminate the earth.
That's not possible.
Every child of the village knows Thakur Rajeshwar Singh is back.
Welcome.
I counted every day to your return.
I wish you'd called out to me.
I'd have given death the slip to come to you.
The world knows when Rajeshwar makes a friend..
Paeans are written about it.
And when he becomes a foe, history is made.
Look, I got you a small present.
It might bring back some memories.
The tamarind tree, the berry creeper.
The decision now lies in your hands.
Either kiss this picture or...
I will announce my decision.
Provided you convey it to Veer Singh accurately.
Your condition is my promise.
There can be only one deal between Veer Singh and me.
Of death!
Whom did you ask before going there?
Who advised you to go there?
What was the need for you to go there?
I went there with the last hope.
I thought he'd have cooled down in the past 14 years.
14 years.
He says 14 years.
Even after 114 years, his anger won't abate!
He'll remain the beast that he is!
He uses his sword on a painting supported by 4 wooden bars!
You shouldve told him, Step out of your home if you're so brave!
Come to the arena!
You'll find Dada Veer standing up front!
Then use your sword if you have the guts.
I swear by Lord Shiv, if Dada Veer lifts a finger..
If Dada Veer lifts one finger..
Every atom of Sanatanpur...
...will explode on Palinagar like a bomb!
We'll match stone for stone. it will be flattened out.
Forget it. You shamed me.
Just wait and watch. His feet won't touch the ground.
He'll be soaring in the sky.
Sir, something wrong in the engine.
- So turn back to Palinagar. - No, we'll have to land here.
- Why? - We might have an accident.
- All right, land here. - But we have enemies here.
It's better to face the enemy than to die in an accident.
But they are very dangerous.
Land here.
Brother...
I'm not astonished at seeing you.
Even I am not quite worried at seeing you.
The same style, the same temperament.
The same arrogance.
That was always there, and will remain forever.
Whether that remains or not there is one difference.
You used to soar in the skies.
Today your feet are on the ground.
Rajeshwar soars in the skies in spite of being on the ground.
I understand.
Now show me your flight.
There you stand and here I am. And the gun lies between us.
Pick up the gun and shoot me.
Satisfy the dreams in your heart. I stand before you.
I don't accept aims.
I will kill you. Sure.
But the gun will be mine.
The bullet too will be mine. So will the time.
The gun will be yours. Also the bullet.
Time will be yours. Morn|ng or evenmg, as you w|sh.
Just call out.
You'll find Veer Singh there.
Time will bring you.
Today time is with you.
The army is yours.
I just want to see who fires the first shot on Rajeshwafs chest.
You won't die by a snake bite.
Grain is cultivated on the land you stand on.
Crop is harvested.
We won't let this earth be defiled by attacking an unarmed man.
I'm glad you've come, Colonel.
Tell Veer Singh snakes and scorpions don't sting lions.
They crawl away from far.
And the deal was not about saving life.
It was about destroying life. And this devastation will happen.
Time is flying past. You should talk to your family.
Grandfather has increased the patrol around the house.
Give me some more time.
Hope I don't die..
Papa has prohibited me from leaving the palace.
Now I might not be able to meet you.
Dynamite can rip open the earth.
But the flower that blooms in the lake will still bloom.
- You utter great dialogues. - |‘m good at action too.
But now how will we meet?
- |‘ve found a solution. - Solution?
- These are three coloured balloons - Yes.
If you let the red one fly, I'll thinkOit means, stop.
There's danger.
And if I set the yellow free?
The yellow means I miss you.
The green balloon signifies, come over.
Like a bird, I'll immediately fly over to your palace.
Wonderful my love bird! 50 guns are waiting for you.
Call me and see whether the guns work or the magic of the lover.
What will you give me if I win this deal?
No, I don't want to accept any challenges.
Specially if it puts your life at risk.
I went to Rajeshwafs house to meet him.
I found out all of them have gone to Samistipur for a hunt.
Yes, he loved hunting right from childhood.
You are their childhood pal. Show them some light.
Colonel Sir, the house that's been in the dark for years“
A light from outside has no meaning for them.
Only a lamp in the house can vanquish that darkness.
ls there no such lamp in that house?
The day there is, I swear I will dance on one foot!
On one foot!
- What have you done? - It was a balloon so I set it free.
But it was my balloon!
Red balloon?
Don't you know you're not to oome out of your room?
“What traveller are you? What wares are you peddling?
”L sell nothing else, I'm a merchant of dreams”
"0 merchant, let's make a deal”
“Accept my heart in exchange for yours“
"0 merchant... let's make a deal”
“Accept my heart in exchange for yours“
“How can I crack a deal of love with you?
“Make me a promise I can trust“
“If you wish, you can make me sign a blank paper“
“l do have a heart, but where will I find the desires?“
“Where will find the bridal fineries and the palanquin for you?“
“Just bring a pinch of bridal vermillion to annoint me as your wife“
”Think it over. Don't regret what you have said later...”
“O merchant...“
“accept my heart in exchange for yours“
That's my grandpa.
>From the abode of God, the home of Allah, this was bound to happen.
My children, Mandhari could sacrifice 10 lives for your love.
Terrific! Terrific!
- We don't understand. - That's what you don't know.
The men whose children you are today hate each other.
There was a time when they were the best of friends.
Pardon?
Want to hear their story?
Then hear this.
Understood the story?
This enmity is lethal.
And you quietly go to meet a girl from Sanatanpur.
If brother-in-law finds out...
What is that?
Nothing, brother-in-law. I was explaining to him.
I was telling him that being pals with a labourer from Sanatanpun.
...is akin to making friends with a scorpion.
I can make friends with a scorpion. I can consume |ts‘ venom.
But I can't tolerate even the water of Sanatanpur.
This is the story of those friends who today have turned into enemies.
If your love is chaste...
Then these two are the two banks of that river.
They can never meet. Never.
If these banks try to block the river of our love“.
This river will come in spate and break its' banks.
There will be a flood.
No. My grandpa is very nice.
For my happiness, he can forget all his sorrows.
We'll make them friends once again.
- Isn't that so? - Yes, uncle.
Lord, did you hear that?
Now you are being tested, not me.
I just want to see whether you turn their love to a river of love“.
Or a river of blood!
Kunal, our child has taken birth.
Father has taken the child to Dada Veer. Come soon.
Waiting for you, Amla.
These men...will kill me.
What is it?
When Radha returns, tell her I've gone back to the city.
I might return in a day or two or I might just call.
All right.
This baby is Rajeshwafs grandson Kuna|‘s.
He trapped Amla in his web of love. And made her a target of his lust.
He ruined our name.
We must answer this. Yes!
First of all, bring Amla to me.
Soon after delivering the child she went to Palinagar to find Kunal.
Yes"?
I want to meet Kunal.
You want to meet Kunal?
- Yes. Something urgent... - I understand your story.
Don't worry. I'm the uncle.
Kuna|‘s uncle. Come in.
Come in. Drive on.
No! Let me go!
No!!!
Thakur Rajeshwar Singh is returning from the hunt.
This is a lie! Absolute lie!
It's a new strategy to defame our family!
How can one defame the infamous?
Today the entire village knows...
Your son married this poor man's daughter on the sly.
And gave her this memento.
And then murdered her when his secret was exposed!
Don‘t you dare accuse my innocent son of murder!
If you wish, we can show you murder now.
Not one or ten. Hundreds and thousands!
We'll annihilate the entire village!
Such arrogance on your strength! So fire away!
And see how your entire family is destroyed!
Fire away! Shoot!
These pups of yours"
Either they are blind or they are deaf
They are blind because.
That poor man stands there with the body of the girl.
But they don't see the corpse.
The child is weeping bitterly.
But the sound doesn't reach their ears.
My sons aren't blind.
Nor are they deaf.
They aren't blind because they can see the truth behind your drama.
And they are not deaf because...
They hear the enemy through the cries of the child.
Mr. Rajeshwar, this isn't about our enmity.
We're talking about human relationship.
Emotions from within.
One begs for emotions with head lowered not raised.
Sir, these are the emotions of an innocent poor child.
He comes to ask you for the right of his relation.
And one asks for one's rights with head held high not bent.
You will see one day this child will come to you with uplifted head.
He will come because his mother got a raw deal.
His mother has been cheated.
At least today you understand the meaning of deceiving.
Before you became Chief of this village.
You were the Chief of Deceit.
Even today my sister Fall's soul wanders in these hills.
It screams at the mention of your deceit.
Not you alone, the history of Sanatanpur knows this.
History is not made by the twist of fate.
If you dig old wounds.
Blood will spurt out.
Swear by Shiv, swords will be unsheathed.
You and your sons who trample the chests of the poor..
Seizing the land of the destitute farmers.
..you make your property!
You talk of history?
The court sentenced you to 14 years of prison for murder.
That was little.
You should have been hung! Hanged by the noose!
Who committed the murder and who was the murderer..
You know it better than me.
As for history...
Thakur Rajeshwar Singh doesn't recount history.
He writes history. He creates history!
Now hear the decision of this Thakur.
I neither accept this child.
Nor will I ever accept it.
All right.
It that be your decision, then hear my decision too.
After this day, this innocent chi|d..
He will grow up in Sanatanpur, with me.
With me.
But till the day. you...
Till you and your progeny do not accept the right ofthis chi|d..
We won't let there be any wedding in your family.
We won't let any child grow in Palinagar!
I swear by my children and myself"
I swear by every child, youth and the old of Sanatanpun.
- I swear! - We swear!
If this every happens"
Whenever it happens"
That will be the last day of Sanatanpur.
We swear“!
I give the last warning to inhabitants of both villages.
After this day, if either side fires a shot.
I will appeal to the government to cancel your hcenses.
Do you follow?
What is going on?
You are elders. You must say something.
They have taken the pledge.
We just have to give them an answer.
Talk to them because they swore to finish our kids!
Only the devil can take such an oath!
Colonel, these guys are the devil!
Even today their sins are smeared on our forehead!
Stop it, guys! I called you here for peace!
Then call the father of the child. His son.
And ask him for the truth!
Call him here? Why?
To sacrifice my children to these blood thirsty men!
- But where is your son? - I'm sending both my kids to Delhi.
- Can't they come here? - They're probably at the station.
What are you saying?
That's the truth. I can't live without Vasu.
I turned out to be a coward. But I won't let you be one.
You must do what's right.
- Dear... - You go on. I'll manage everything.
I said I can't help you!
Go“.!
But you are the messiah of love. That's why we've come to you.
Should I advise you to elope and get married?
So that they get fuming mad and kill both of you?
Or should I suggest that you commit suicide?
So that gunshots are heard in both villages and people killed?
And thousands are killed? Should I advise this?
Then what do we do?
I can only advise you to return to your homes.
And forget your love.
We've left our homes for love.
- Then where will you go? - To the abode of God.
Let's go. The apostle of love may concede defeat.
Not those who love.
SWP-
You'll go to God. Commit suicide.
Cowards!
I know a solution.
But it is filled with risk.
Will you take it?
Grandpa? Kunal here.
How is Radha?
She's gone to Simla on a college scout camp.
- She'll be back in 2 months. - Take care, son.
Yes, grandpa.
But the weddings of our kids"?
They will get married. Sure.
Son, don't forget if we have enemies like Veer Singh..
We also have friends like Mahendra Singh.
I've chosen a groom for Radha.
No, this is impossible! It is fraught with dangers!
You've come this far lure by a web of risk.
This is the only option I have. The only option. The last hope.
Last hope?
But we could get killed.
Uncle is right.
Dying would be better than suicide.
And the world will know the truth of our love.
But this is like extracting water from the mountains!
If Farhad could dig a river of milk through the mountains for Shireen..
We too can get a river of love through these hills.
I abide by your test.
Come on!
Do just as I say.
With whose permission did you throw arms and run away?
Because I don't want to touch these arms!
- What? - Yes.
After all what have these guns given us?
Blood? Corpses?
Orphans"?
Widows?
This is what the inhabitants of Palinagar gave to us!
Hence this war!
I want no part of this war which burns with vengeance for centuries!
This revenge is for my brother! Your father!
My father never wanted this.
He wanted to destroy hatred not the enemy.
So I understand you refuse to fight.
Even the Mahabharata was fought. Who won it?
You are right, son.
Whether we lose or win, we can‘t live as cowards.
- But grandpa... - I heard all you said.
At your age, I too loved talking like this.
But my ideals prohibit me from taking to arms today.
When his soul isn't for it..
He can't lift his arms. And how can he shoot?
Send him back! To his teacher!
Send him back!
That's a great decision.
I was to suggest this to you long ago.
Why didn't you say so? You should have.
Better late than never.
|‘m going to the Red Mountain to the teacher tomorrow.
- If you wish, loan drop him off. - That's very nice.
Go to the teacheL.
And tell him...
When we finish fighting to our death"
And everything ends"
Then send this Kishen back to us.
To play his flute.
He'll wander in these hills.
Whistle"
Mother, I'm going for a few days.
You never came back to me.
I just saw you grow up in pictures.
Grandpa, forgive me.
Silly boy..
You wou|dn‘t know you are a piece of my heart. Yes.
Come..come on in. This too is my home.
I was born here and I will die here.
Yes. Can't say about your birth but you will die right here.
Good day to you.
I take away one child and give you one in return.
Child“?
- Fate plays such tricks. - What are you talking about?
I had a sister in Kanpur.
- SaraswatL? - The priestess"
Oh her...
That poor woman died years ago.
She died but she had a widowed daughter"
Sumitra. She was alive.
- What happened to her? - She too died last night.
- She died? - Yes and killed me too.
- Ask me, how. - How?
By making this child an orphan.
When the neighbours brought her to me. I thought...
You are going to the mountain. What will you do about her?
Then I thought what home cold be better than this?
Does this home look like an orphanage?
Sister“.
It's a matter of a few months.
She'll help with the chores and look after you.
If you wish, she'll stay her like a servant.
You don‘t worry. This child will live in this house.
Look, dear. Don't worry.
Consider this your own house.
- Ready? - Yes.
- I'll escort you to the border. - Yes, it's going to be evening.
Look, don‘t cry.
I can understand that you came here after becoming homeless.
But I assure you.
There's love in every pore of this home.
And everyone will love you.
- Isn't that, mother? - Yes.
When something auspicious is to happen..
We wish each other good luck.
- Girl, what is your name? - I'm Radha.
Vasu is our last hope.
Do look after him. - Vasu is my last hope too.
God will take care of him.
Let's go, son.
Do you get it, Vasu? In this test of love...
you must make flowers blossom In stones.
You must restore Rajeshwar his friendship and his innocence.
Go on.
Karen! Come over here!
Karen! My son!
Here's your gun. - Thank you, son.
Come.
Mahendra Singh, that's not how you say thank you to someone.
This is how you say it.
Here you are, son. You've been very brave. May you llve long.
Uncle, you gave that boy your precious ring for something so trivial?
It wasn't trivial, son. He has saved your life.
And you mean the life to me and to Mahendra Singh.
You must think about a date for Radha‘s marriage, Rajeshwar.
I'm already doing that... You?
Yes. - What brings you here?
I came to return your ring to you.
What for? - I want a job, not the ring.
Of course you will have it. Sit down.
What is your name? - Krishna.
Are you educated? - Not much... but I'm sensible.
You are sensible? So answer a few questions of mine.
Very well.
What does work give you? - Money.
And hard work? - Bears fruit.
What does the employer's order mean? - It's the servant's life itself.
What is the greatest relationship? - Friendship.
Friendship? How come?
Because friendship comes from the heart, not from one‘s relations.
Who is the most dangerous enemy?
An old friend.
I liked your last answer the most.
You have passed the test. - Thank you, sir. Thank you!
Calm down, stop crying.
Why should he be quiet? He's a gift from the palace.
Sister, you be quiet.
Why did you get this nuisance home?
Someday those devils will bomb this place.
Should I have thrown him in the gutter?
- Give the baby to me. - Yes, dear. You placate him.
Come to me..
No baby..no crying..
He stopped crying the moment you held him. That's a miracle.
Must be related to her.
The child only knows love.
Absolutely right.
Look, this baby is your responsibility now.
A burden off my head.
The baby is quiet. So is my elder sister.
Both of them are quiet.
Have mercy on me. I'll be destroyed.
- I'm expecting your child. - What nonsense!
Please save me. I beseech you.
Don't you dare say this to anyone!
- I won't leave. - Go! - No..
I'll thrash you! You...!
You mustn't hit a woman, my friend.
- Are you her husband? - No, you are.
It's your duty to protect not hit her.
You're teaching me!
- You hit my friend? - He...
This rascal was showing me his punch!
I see. Let me too see it.
- You... - Show me your punch.
No sir, you're my master. It's not right to hit you.
What did you say?
Listen to me..
Show the bugger!
Rascal! Now I'll show you!
Sirl!
He teases girls. I stopped him so he hit me!
No, sir! I didn't do anything! lam innocent.
No, you are not innocent.
Leave him.
- Answer this. - Yes sir.
Who is the person committing atrocities?
Sinner.
And the one tolerating injustice?
- A bigger sinner. - So you‘re a greater sinner.
I will punish you. Take this pistol and shoot him.
- Me...? - Yes.
The rein of manners over power ls essenhal.
But not so much that it turns to cowardice.
Why did you miss?
I obeyed your command. You ordered to shoot him.
Not to kill him.
2 lives would be lost if I'd killed him.
That woman and her unborn child.
Did you guys hear that?
I dug the mountain and discovered this gem.
And you were dragging him over stones.
I gave you power and you committed injustice.
I gave him power and he did justice.
That's the difference between you and him.
He gave you life so that you marry this girl.
And his reward will be...
He will always remain with me.
Come with me.
- What's wrong with Papa? - God knows.
- From where have you come? - From Khatagpur.
- Or Sanatanpur? - From Khatagpur.
- Whose son are you? - I'm an orphan.
- Where did you learn marksmanship? - Father was in the army.
- Why are you here? - For 2 square meals.
Stick to that. If you try to intrude
Keep in mind, I'm better with guns.
- I know, sir. - Let him go.
Kunal was in Delhi when Amla was killed.
- He wasn't here. - This has been proved.
This child is Kuna|‘s.
And he will go there.
If he legally agrees to it, fine.
If he doesn't agree, we'll make him agree with bullets.
Be patient. The matter is lying with the court.
We can‘t shed the blood of thousands for one child.
The Palinagar residents initiated the shedding of blood.
- What were you eavesdropping? - Nothing, uncle.
Hear this carefully.
If you want to stay in this house, shut your eyes and ears.
Yes.
Keep an eye on her.
Finished cleaning the house?
Yes sir. But the room downstairs is locked.
- The key is probably with you. - That room is Radhefs.
The key is always with me.
What are you doing?
I found two pieces of a painting. I'm putting it together.
- What painting? - This one.
I found it when I was cleaning downstairs.
I was sure it was you and a very dear friend.
I thought of sticking it and hanging it on a wall.
Isn't it beautiful?
I'm sorry sir. I hurt you.
Yes and you hurt me quite a bit.
This was my best friend but new“ he's my greatest enemy.
- Sir, who is he? - He is known as Veer Singh.
- That Veer Singh? - How do you know him?
There are lots of stories about you and Veer Singh.
What kind of?
That you're very nice but Veer Singh is not really..
Get some soda.
Get me soda.
Everyone says liquor burns the heart.
Liquor is consumed only when the heart burns.
Meaning, f?
You're still a child. You won't understand.
Sir, after seeing your justice, now I like you even more.
What justice?
You forced Shyam into accepting his child.
It was his child. He should accept it.
- May I ask something? - Yes.
Then shouldn't Kunal accept his child?
- Go. - Did I say something wrong..?
Just go away.
Listen"
That wasn't only about the child.
It was about Veer Singh.
That man had come to publicly humiliate me!
He had come to belittle my family!
Did Kunal tell me that child was his?
Would you accept it if Kunal said so?
No. No way.
These are such deep wounds of life that you can't comprehend.
- You may go. - Sorry, sir.
I hurt you.
You're a funny boy.
First you break my heart, then you apologise.
My grandpa too would say the same.
Grandpa? I'm sure he's very intelligent.
Forgive me, sir.
This is the key to Radhefs room.
Henceforth you‘|| look after it.
The master's command ls the servant's llfe.
Remember one thing.
Henceforth never take the name of my enemy.
Settle my family now. I like Radha a lot.
Have you asked her whether she likes you?
As if she‘s a princess! Where can she find such a groom?
3 acres of land. Single.
- Go. It's fixed. - Betel leaf..
- Let this month go by. - Aunt...
What? This girl's life is made.
She's fortunate to come here or she'd be wandering around.
Shut the windows. darling... the enemy will cast an eye on you.
“Till the mountains of sorrow have moved...“
“and we have united...“
“make no prayer. Miss me not“
”I can't help it. I have a prayer on my lips...”
“l can‘t stop myself... I miss you very much“
“Till the Eden of our desires has blossomed...“
“until we have united...“
“do not lose your sleep. Do not m|ss me“
”I can't help a prayer coming to my lips...”
“l can‘t stop myself... I miss you very much“

“The world is an enemy of love“
“Until our feet bleed. walking on thorn-strewn paths...“
“and we have met...“
“do not appeal for anything, do not miss me ever“
”I can't help the prayer that comes to my lips”
”I can't stop myself from missing you”
- These are for you. - No! I don't want them!
- You're my future bride. - Get out of my way!
With such love...
All of you hear this clear.
Where she will get married. Where she will go.
Where she‘|| sit or stand" I will decide that.
Me alone.
Me? What spell has she cast on you?
All this time, this girl has been lying to us.
Lie..?
She's not Sumitrefs daughter. She's my cousin Amitefs child.
Her mother was my best friend.
- She's from a wealthy family. - What?
Now on, she'll live here llke a prmoess not servant.
- Mother.. - Come, my dear.
- Mother"? - Wipe your tears and come along.
Great!
I too thought that.
Radha is from a good family.
Do you know how respected her father was in our village?
- ls that so? - Yes. And Amita was so giving.
Do you hear how she's praising her childhood friend?
Of course. She was a dear friend.
As if we were enemies.
But now he is my foe. Sworn foe!
Won't even spare my kids!
Grandpa, you too are the enemy of his kids.
- Yes? - Serve dinner.
What did she say?
What would she know of our story?
As if she'd know our story.
There's a party in the hall. Why didn't you go?
You sit with me.
What will I do with those illiterates?
What do I say? To whom do I explain?
It's good that my craziness was put to some use.
Craziness is another name for madness.
Meaning?
It means...
This Rajeshwar was mad right from childhood.
But mother said you were great friends in childhood.
- Weren't you? - That was as kids.
We were fools. Had no sense.
Do you know any songs?
- I know one. - Which one?
The tamarind tree.. the raspberry fruit.
- Sir, shall I sing it? - Pour me some soda.
Serve me dinner. Don't talk of the enemy while serving dinner.
The picture that you were putting together"
He and I would sing this song.
- This song. - I heard he used to teach you.
Veer Singh..taught Rajeshwar Singh!
That illiterate?
He still can't speak his mother tongue.
Krishna, he never went to school.
Not inside, dear. I'd stand outside the school.
I'd be waiting for him.
I'd give him hot milk to drink every night.
So that his mind would be cool.
So he'd study well. And progress in life.
He did become a big man.
He's a big trader but his heart is this small.
I loved him so much!
I used to push his bullock cart.
I once broke my leg pushing his cart.
When his leg broke, I tied my leg up.
I had pledged.
I'd stand on one foot for 7 days!
- Really? - He won't understand friendship!
I didn't forget him abroad either.
>From Raw he came Rayeshwar Singh.
He changed so much.
He cheated me terribly.
My sister Pali Kanta committed suicide because of him.
In return what a wound he gave me.
He had my young son Vishal murdered.
I went to pay condolence to VishaFs grief.
And he had me jailed under the false allegation of murder.
Did I get him jailed? Who laid out that trap?
He's got snakes and scorpions as pets.
I won't give him a drop of water if he asks for it!
I won't give it! Betrayer!
- Arrogant! - illiterate!
- Stubborn! - Unschooled!
Cheat! Number one!
L s83”-
Why am I narrating this to you?
Look, dear...you are family.
Emotions bubble over.
But all that I said to you must remain between us.
- All right. - Don't tell anyone.
Not to anyone. Because ..
I won't spare him.
Does that mean you can never be united?
No, never.
Uncle, you've trapped us in a drama!
Life is a drama.
Today we must teach a lesson to the champion of this drama.
He's coming. Have you understood? Go.
“A bunch of tamarind and berries“
“The tamarind is sour, but sweet are the berries“
“We are the only two tigers in these forests...“
'Let's go home, we're getting late”
Wasn't that a nice song?
- Who taught you this song? - First tell me that it was good.
- I asked who taught you this song. - It's an old song.
Maybe old but after today these ears mustn't hear it.
- The world sings it. - Maybe but you won't.
I will sing.
- You'll sing it? - Yes.
- You'll sing it? - Yes. I will.
Then you won't stay in my house.
What? Does this mean you'll throw me out?
No, I'll throw you out of the village!
That's nice.
I took your grandson to heaven.
And this is how you treat my child.
- Great. - It's not about treatment.
It's not that. She..was singing that song.
Do you own it? You've turned into Hitler!
If you had your way, you'd abolish the prayers!
We're not talking about it.
It's about that song.
It hurts my heart.
Stones don't get hurt.
Come, my dear. No need to stay with this stone. Stay with me.
- What is it? - Where are you taking her?
- Is she related to you? - Related? You're asking me that?
You're asking me.. when she's a pieoe of my heart!
Piece..? That is why you broke her heart.
- What do you mean? - I mean...
When you want to join those pieces, come to me.
Then I'll send her. Come, dear.
Radha, my dear!
“A bunch of tamarind and berries...“
“the tamarind is sour, but sweet are the berries“
“You and I are the only tigers in this forest...“
”let's go home, we're getting late”
“l could do anything...“
“l could even die for you“
“Do just this much for me...“
“sing that song of my childhood“
Mandhari, whose picture have you put up?
A picture of that arrogant man!
- He's your friend. - He was! Vvasl!
Now I have no friend.
I see a flicker of love in your anger.
Love..?
Can you see love on my face?
You‘ve got cataract in your eyes!
You've grown old. You can't see!
But you were singing his song!
- See... - Does that song belong to his Pop?
Where are you hiding?
In the palaces! Come out!
Come out and see who stands before you!
This is Dada Veer!
He's earned some money..
And thinks he's great guns!
Great guns!
You've grown so big on this very earth!
Now you've forgotten your poor brethren!
You studied in the school near the ditch. Have you forgotten?
You didn't know how to tie the drawstrings!
I taught you! Didn't I?
And now watch the fun. He challenges me!
Me. Challenges me!
He sits in bars and has English parties!
Drinks English liquor!
Drinks English!
Comedown here to mother earth.
And drink the local brew!
Then talk to me.
He's got his gun!
And shooting the sky!
If you must shoot, fire at my chest!
The tamarind tree, the raspberry fruit..
The tamarind is sour the berries are sweet.
There's just one tiger in this forest.
Just one tiger.
Michael Thapa deposited 2 crores in your name in a Hong Kong bank.
But I still haven't got the papers of this property.
What are you saying sir?
My son Monty is soon going to be the son-in-law of this family.
After that all of Palinagar is yours.
So you don't approve of the match of Radha and Karan.
Of course I approve.
But keeping the risk of Sanatanpur in mind..
I feel ifs better that Radha marry in the family.
- That's the best. - Do you have a boy in mind?
I meant Monty. Your son, Monty.
Yes.
You are elder. You can slap me.
Yes.
We hear you got a resounding slap.
Yes.
I won't stay in this house!
What?
I see great fury in Michael Thapa‘s dark glasses.
Arrange for the papers.
With Rajeshwafs signature.
Uncle...
lam ashamed at what I did. That is my child.
I accept it. Only you can save me from grandpa.
I beg you!
Cut the telephone.
And wait for me.
Save me uncle. Please.
Baby...
Do as I say.
- You shou|dn‘t have come here! - Try to understand. This is my child.
I've come to take him. Uncle sent me.
Unc|e..? He wants to destroy us!
I will not let you take this child!
You're refusing your brother?
Yes because I can't forget Vasu's struggle!
For the past 3 months like a servant he's slogging in our house!
- He's in Palinagar? - Yes.
He's grandpefs servant. And I'm a servant here.
Listen to me, come home. There's only danger here!
No!!!
- Mother! - Catch her!
Quick, run away!
Sister-in-law!
Unc|e..
What are you doing?
- Isn't your name Vasu? - No!
- The rascal is lying! - No!
I'll show you!
Tell us the truth or...!
Tell us, aren't you Veer Singh's child?
No!
Son, own it yourself.
Your life will be saved. Else"
Yes, I now confess that I'm Dada Veer Singh's grandson!
lam VishaFs son!
But I haven't come here to kill anyone.
I came here with a message of love.
A message of love.
Keep this in mind.
This man is the Shakuni of the Mahabharat between you and grandpa.
Beware of this snake in the grass!
Leave him and answer my questions.
At this moment, I can't answer anything.
- Why? - Because I made a promise.
He's calling me!
- Catch him! - Yes!
No!
- You will stay here. - Why?
We send soldiers not foxes on hunt.
Gaja, you go after him.
What problem are you creating?
Tomorrow is Holi and all guests have come for this party.
I had no option but to seek refuge here.
Don't you know I've invited Dada Veer and Rajeshwar?
- It'll be a disaster if they come - Disaster has already struck.
No...no.
Look, one error on your part can kill many innocents.
Catch them.
We hear for centuries people who love are killed in your world.
But today there won't be murder but suicide here.
If anyone tries to touch us..
We will plunge into this fire and kill ourselves.
This is a promise to us. For our love.
“Yes, we have... - Yes, we have...“
“yes. we have loved...“
“we have rebelled against the world...“
“no matter what the world does to us now“
“Yes, we have fallen in love“
“we have rebelled against the world...“
“no matter what the world does to us now“
“With my heart as a temple...“
“l have worshipped my beloved“
Be patient.
- We want your signature. - Why?
Papa sold your old fort to Michael Thapa.
Am I the dealer of Palinagar of your Pop?
You were but no more. Times have changed.
Yes, I see the changing time.
So you want my signature.
Yes, right now. Right here.
I'll give your father many not one signature.
Right here.
Sir, you need all the fingers to sign.
Swear by God, I'd have shot a bullet in your chest.
You son of Baliram!
Rajeshwafs dead fingers too can stop your bullet.
- Shoot. - You'll be the loser.
Chuniya makes and he also destroys.
The man is a real rascal!
He had you imprisoned for a murder he made me commit.
He sold every inch of Palinagar to Michael Thapa.
You are now nude.
There's one advantage to signing.
Your daughter's honour will be safe.
Else I'll make your Radha dance in the whore house.
Scoundrel!
How dare you utter Radha's name! I'll tear your mouth apart!
- Leave him. - You move out.
Move away. Let me be.
No, Raw! Leave him!
- He'll die anyway. - He took Radha's name!
- He dishonoured me! - He's just a stray dog! Leave him!
I won't leave him! I will kill him!
He took Radhefs name! Brought me dishonour!
He's the same guy who got thrashed by me as a kid.
- He was a rascal and still is. - He‘s not a rascal!
You're supporting him!
He‘|| lick your shoes all his life. Leave him!
I won't leave him. I'll kill him today!
- Leave me. - No!
- You let that stupid dog escape. - Yes, I did.
Have you gone mad?
If you were arrested, his job would be done.
But have you thought what will happen to you? Did you think?
You will stand in the court as a murderer!
Once again the same jail. With its‘ bars.
Rigorous Imprisonment for 15 years.
These impotent beasts!
Raising walls between hearts.
The poison which runs through your heart like a fester..
It runs up and down..
They sowed that seed. They sowed that hatred!
Forget what happened. And drink some liquor.
Here comes the group.
Happy Holi, sir.
I'll play Holi with you first.
It's been years since Dada Veer played Holi.
- Why? - Just didn't feel like it.
Did something happen?
You may consider it so.
Somebody close had died. He had died.
Spit out the anger. Holi is a festival of love.
I said do anything but don't throw colour on me.
We're soldiers. We can use force.
For 35 years nobody dared.
To colour me by force.
Yes Colonel. Only one man can throw colour on this man.
No, this can never happen!
This will never happen!
Rajeshwar must be brought here!
And he will have to pay for my son's blood!
“A bunch of tamarind and berries“
“The tamarind is sour, but sweet are the berries“
“You and I are the only two tigers in this forest“
'Let's go home, we're getting late”
“Ever since you have been angry with me...“
“l swear it on you, I have been heart-broken“
“l never knew when it was dusk, or when dawn broke“
“lfs love that brings cheer to my life...“
“else, what good is all this wealth?“
“Without you, even diamonds and pearls are of no consequence“
No, I won't let you go.
Kunal ran away with the child. The entire village is chasing him.
There's going to be a great storm.
One day your father left like this and never returned.
That is why I must go.
I have to see whether the flute of love wins or the sword of hatred.
Scoundrel! You're back?
Come Radha. Let's show them what rebellion is.
Stop, Radha!
Scoundrel!
Lord Rama has sent me to protect love.
Radha, come to me.
Children...
Don't be soared, my children.
Rajeshwar fired me after serving him for 40 years.
You've only been here 4 months.
Rajeshwar is the enemy of love and trust.
Anyway I'll get both of you married.
Right now. And I'll see who dares lifts a finger!
We'll cool Devar with love and send him away
You can become the king of Palinagar and Sanatanpur...
..by spreading the fire of hatred among kids and the aged!
But he forgets that the fire consumes him in the end.
Dada Veer and Rajeshwar, now I want to see...
How you will stop the killings? How will you put out this fire?
These wires have been electrocuted.
And an explosive has been planted on that gate.
It'll blow up any oar.
Proceed.
Scoundrel!
I won't spare you alive!
You won't kill Gagan!
I will kill their whole family!
No, Gagan and Vasu are the kids of my friend! My own kids!
The chords of our friendship are joined, my son.
You've become friends, not us!
I won't let these beggars rule my throne!
- No, Gaja.. - Your Vasu...
Hold my hand!
Listen to me. Forget the animosity.
Accept my hand of friendship.
Let's be one, my brother!
It's now too late, my kids.
No!
- Your groom. - No!
Before they come, you'll be married to me not Vasu.
Catch him!
The race to marry Radha. Vasu or Monty.
Look. - Poison?
There is no other way.
ILU ILU...? - What's that?
Let Vasu go!
Leave him!
No! I won't live! I won't lwe!
- Rajeshwar and I.. - ...are the biggest enemies!
You are merchants of hate!
All right, today I'll show you..
The friendship of us enemies. Come with me.
- I won't come! - Come with me.
See the friendship of us enemies.
- He has come. - Let him.
Grandpa“!
Are you all right?
- Where is Veeru? - Look there.
Where are you?
I'm sitting here.
On top of this tree. Near you.
We'll annihilate the enemy!
You snake in the grass!
Come out! You kept my pal away from me for years!
You killed my Vishal!
Today if you as much as touch our children.
Only your skeleton will be seen here.
You're bleeding, you fool!
My pal ifs blood. It has to bleed.
The tamarind tree the raspberry fruit...
The tamarind is sour, the berries sweet.
Grandpa!
Grandpa! No!
This can't be true! No!
My pal, what have you done?
- Those bullets were for me.. - Nothing, my pal.
Don't do anything. I bind you by our friendship.
I'm absolutely fine.
I've waited a lifetime for you.
- I too lived only for you. - Don't leave each other.
- Eaoh other's hand. - I'll never leave your hand.
I'll get Vasu and put him in your lap.
While you watch |‘|| get Chuniya and throw him at your feet.
I'll thrash him in front of you. Don't you worry.
- I'll be back soon. - I'll be here.
My men didn't shoot you because we want your signature.
I'm ready to sign your dream.
But I have two conditions.
Let us know. And sign here.
Let him go.
You gave us the fort. We give Chuniya to you.
Brother-in-law.
Sir Rajeshwan.
You murdered my friendship.
Today I want your blood.
Your blood.
I wont' spare you! You touched my kids!
No, I won't spare you!
I'm not dying like this.
I'm going to make you pay for my friend's death.
I'll take you to Veeru's feet!
I've brought this dog to your feet! I won't let you off easily.
Get up and crush him afoot. Get up.
This can't be happening. This isn't true.
I told you to wait.
This is not fair to me.
Father!

If violence is the end of love...
Only love can end violence.
And then the light of love spreads all around.
