['GLORY' SONG PLAYING]
Battalion! Dismount!
18 battles signed…
I got it.
Haribabu reporting sir!
Sixteenth Battalion, Royal Indian Army! Sir!
I got 19.
Colonel Eswar Prasad!
He will be your commanding officer from now on.
[SINGING 'CADET' SONG]
It is a new camp.
That's why they are exuberant.
Shantha Rao! Listen to me and join them.
You will have a chance to escape if the Germans invade us.
Why did you come till here if you are so afraid, Das?
You should have gone back to home from Burma.
That's my fate, man!
They asked me to get in and I did.
I thought it was a food cart.
How would I know that it was a funeral van?
Will they give money to our families if something happens to us?
Forget about money.
They won't even send our belongings if we die on the battleground.
My family will be totally lost.
That's what you think.
Do you know what the reality is?
Women will never get satisfied.
Everybody listen to me…
I will tell you a story.
Once up on a time, a man like our Das got married.
Friends! He means someone like me. Tell them…
Listen up what happens during their first night.
In that case, that someone will just be me.
The bride was terrified and shy.
She should be. She may not have seen a handsome man like me.
He went close to her and saw that there were no milk and fruits.
He said, 'Hey, girl! Where is the milk?'
She said, 'The cat had everything while coming here'.
Then he asked, 'Where are the fruits, my dear?'
She said, 'Uncle had them while I came here'.
He said, 'Forget all that as I have you here'.
He said, 'Come and kiss me.'
She said, 'I gave it to your brother while coming here'.
Hey…that wasn't me…
It is Jaswinder.
He's the man who sat over there. - Leave it.
Let it be someone.
I am not that kind.
He is the one. He sat over there.
[INNER VOICE]: What is all this?
Eswar! What's wrong with you?
Why are you looking so serious?
'May 10, 1944!'
'A sweet letter to my beloved Seeta from Haribabu.'
'A letter filled with love.'
'The border of Italy is just as closer as the distance between our houses in our village.'
'It is a new camp.'
'So, trucks, tankers and all are just getting arranged.'
'Another important thing…'
'I met Eswar here.'
'He is our commanding officer.'
'All those old memories flashed in my head after seeing him.'
Indeed.
Come on, boys and girls!
Now is the time for dance!
Dear friends! Our princess is ready to cut the cake on the occasion of her birthday.
We need the matches too. - Do you need matches?
Don't you want a cigar or cigarette?
Stop kidding and cut the cake.
Light them up.
You're very fortunate.
Cake is good, right?
Our princess will blow the candles now.
You should not blow off lights on your birthday! - What?
You should light some lamps if it is possible.
Even lights have a feminine charm.
They glow when we take care.
They will burn you down if you disrespect them.
Well said, junior.
Lights have a feminine charm.
But men are like a wick.
They always burn for nothing.
Forget all that.
Blow them.
Hello!
Shakespeare!
Me?
Can I at least cut the cake?
Or is it not right to cut it on birthday?
Certainly! We cut it to share with everyone, right?
Well said…
Cut it out for sharing!
You cut it and share it with us.
Mister.
For telling us a nice thing!
Many happy returns of the day, Ms. Seeta Devi!
Thanks.
How do you know my name?
I am from Devgad.
It's a part of your Rajgad province.
Is it?
Yes.
What brought you here?
I study at this College.
It's a part time job.
We study there, too but we have never seen you before.
You will pay attention towards those who see you.
I don't see you.
Well said. Well said, my junior
Girls will pay attention towards those who see them.
Not only in 1936 but also in 2036, no one can understand these women!
Come.
By the way, what's the name of our Shakespeare?
What's there in a name?
A rose is a rose.
What is your name?
Hari, my Majesty!
Keep in touch.
Shakespeare!
Hi.
? May I express my feelings to you? ?
? You may ?
? May I let out the voice of my heart? ?
? You may ?
Seeta madam talks a lot.
? May I express my feelings to you? ?
Have you heard the good news from village?
It rained there today.
? May I let out the voice of my heart? ?
? You may ?
? I love you a lot ?
What happened? – My car doesn't start.
Can I drive?
Do you know how to drive?
? It is hard to express how I feel about you ?
You are doing well.
Look ahead.
? May I express my feelings to you? ?
? You may ?
? May I let out the voice of my heart? ?
? You may ?
Turn to your right. That's it.
Wow! Just be still like that.
? You may say whatever you want to say to me ?
? I don't want to be empty! Be filled in my heart ?
? I search everywhere to meet you ?
? My heart feels relaxed when I see you ?
? You have taught me the true meaning of love ?
? You have given me the reason to live ?
? You are locked in my eyes ?
? You are in my thoughts always ?
? I think of you in my sleep ?
? You are filled in my dreams ?
? You are my heart ?
? No words can express my feelings ?
? You may say whatever you want ?
? May I express my feelings to you? ?
? You may ?
? May I let out the voice of my heart? ?
? You may ?
Shakespeare!
Do you like me?
No madam! I love you.
What is the difference?
We pluck a rose if we like it.
We take care of it if we love it.
Make arrangements, then.
We shall get married.
? I am so thankful to God that he let me have you ?
? My fate has changed completely for you are in my life ?
? Happiness twirls around me with your love ?
? You have locked away my love with your love ?
? This is what I pray God for ?
? We shall never get departed ?
? You are my faith ?
? You are my breath ?
? All my life is with you ?
? You are the reason that I live ?
? Let your love shower upon me ?
? I have no words to express my feelings ?
? You may say whatever you want ?
? May I express my feelings to you? ?
? You may ?
? May I let out the voice of my heart? ?
? You may ?
The journey seems very new. Right, Princess?
It is the same village that we go every time.
But now it feels like heaven.
I get frightened when I think about the village.
We can't meet there like this.
Ms. Seeta Devi has fear.
Don't you fear?
Yes. I fear a lot.
I fear a lot in the prospect of getting frightened sometime.
This is for my fearless man! - For me?
It is a beautiful coat.
I am travelling in the first class for the first time because of you.
Now, I got this coat.
I am afraid thinking about the future.
You would change a lot for me.
Okay. I will get down first as soon as the train stops.
You can come later.
Be it 1936 or 2036! Lovers should meet in secret.
There she comes. Seeta.
Why happened? You have become so thin.
How are you, Granny? You became thin too.
Grandpa!
Haribabu!
Granny means grandma.
What is this, dear?
You have come down from first class coach.
I wore a coat. So, they let me sit here.
Hey! You look like a rich man
Did you complete your studies?
One book is left, Grandpa! - Which one?
It is called love.
I will be done if I finish it.
Go ahead and complete it then.
Finish it.
I am working on that, Grandpa.
Eswar!
How are you, Princess?
Fine, Officer!
When did you come?
How many days will you stay?
Look how she is calling her brother by his name.
I like to call him by his name.
Eswar is not only my elder brother but a friend, too.
What is wrong with it?
Respect the relations and call with the names.
Who is this guy?
Sir!
He is my grandson.
He studies in the city.
He doesn't know the customs of our village.
Hey! Greet your elders. - Well said.
Respect the relations and call with the names.
Listen.
Sir?
My hair is overgrown.
I will come tomorrow, sir.
I will cut it and apply oil to your body.
Eswar. – Haribabu
Right…Nice.
Come on. Take him down.
Take him down, colonel.
We got 2 cannons positioned there.
What about the parameters?
Anti-aircraft guns right there, there and right over there.
Yes, Captain!
Major!
How should we escape if Germans attack us suddenly?
What?
Shut your mouth!
I mean there are bunkers and trenches.
We can fight only if we stay alive.
Well done.
We are expecting our tanks to arrive in two days' time.
That's enough.
We still need to dig trenches over there.
The champion!
Let us hear it for Eswar!
For the seventh time in a row!
Good show!
You there!
Captain Hari!
Let's see if you can take on your commander.
Come on, man.
Very nice!
I haven't enjoyed taking lives of people.
I couldn't kill you back then.
Now, it shall be fulfilled.
We are from the same village.
Let's make an agreement.
You should take my dead body to our village if I die.
I will carry your corpse if you die.
The village will be at peace no matter who goes back with the corpse.
Go… Take your positions.
Come on.
Take care of your places. Go.
Make it fast.
Tanks…
Move… Move, fast.
Soldiers! Positions.
Soldiers! Go…
This way!
Roger that! General's here! - Give me that.
Get me the air marshal. Now!
Mr. Singh! Save me.
Go, and get away.
I will get this.
Four hours?
I don't have god damn four hours!
I need air cover now!
Come on, move!
Soldiers, move!
Looks like the whole German population is here to kill us.
Sir! We are surrounded on all sides.
We're severely outnumbered.
We can't hold them back any longer.
Point 6,4.
Use the uphill cannons.
I'll try to send a few of my men, sir.
Very good.
Captain Hari and his men! Get over here!
Get over here, now!
I need men!
Captain Hari! Uphill…
I am sorry, General!
Our men weren't able to reach it.
We are losing more and more men out there, General!
The war is over.
Surrender?
Right, Major.
Sir.
Hail Hitler!
They surrendered.
It can't be.
What? - Come on, let's go
Come on!
Move on, Captain!
We have surrendered and we are prisoners of war.
Under the Geneva Convention, you must respect my men and my officers.
Respect for surrendered soldiers?
Respect is something earned.
I will not divulge any information what so ever.
Fear made you surrender and it make you talk.
You can skin us alive, but we won't talk.
You have your loyalty! We have our ways.
You are dreaming. - Oh, really?
Something is not right here.
Why are they taking positions?
Go…to the height.
Hail Lord… - Hey!
Come. I am waiting for you.
Looks like something is wrong.
That's General Weinstein.
They call him 'The Fox'.
No!
I made a great mistake.
Take the Indian army.
We are lucky that we are safe.
Come on, buddy! Let's escape.
We have to save them.
It's too dangerous.
No, Captain. We can't go out there.
We cannot leave our officers to the Germans.
Hari! Have you gone crazy?
No way! I cannot take it anymore.
I am leaving.
Go! You will go alone.
We have to save them.
How? How are you going to do that? We are just five.
Let's first follow them and find a way.
Yeah! You're right. Let's do it.
Okay, Captain! Let's go.
What is okay, man?
It's okay for you, but not for me.
Eswar is from your native place, right?
Will he come to rescue, if somebody abducts you?
He won't, buddy.
We should save our lives.
Our Goddess lost seventeen of her forms after killing Mahishasura.
The remaining one form is of Goddess Durga.
That Goddess has incarnated in different forms in different villages.
Kalimatha! Jwalamatha!
Gowrimatha! Kushmandamatha and many more!
Now our village deity is Parvathymatha.
She got that name because of her good heart.
Do you know who her brother is?
That is Lord Sriman Narayan
Lord, by the name of Jagannadh, he goes to each part of the village.
He remained to stay with her sister later on.
Come what so or again.
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight.
What is this madness?
It has been four days since we came here.
How else will I be without meeting you?
Yes. Do you think I am happy?
Believe me. I feel restless without you.
I want to say a lot. - Is it?
Write down everything you want to say in a letter if you cannot meet me.
Is it enough to write letters?
Or some whispers in the ear.
Do you know what that means, my Highness?
It is the right time to get married.
Shall we get married after the village festival?
They are thinking the same thing at my house, too.
They want me to get married after the village festival.
Did they accept so easily?
Not with you, Shakespeare. It is with some other guy.
How is that?
My grandfather is sitting outside.
Go and ask him.
Traditions, festivals and procedures!
All are for the village's unity.
Now tell me.
What would the people from different castes give?
We moneylenders have 20 families.
We shall offer 100 banaras saree, tins of churned oil, and 100 kilos butter.
We farmers would have 100-quintal crops.
We shall offer 5-quintal of it.
We need to decorate the goddess, right?
We shall offer to do it.
We shall weave all the saris needed for the Goddess, sir.
We shall make floral garlands, sir.
We shall give slippers to the Goddess from our side, sir!
Everything is fine. But, there shouldn't be any fight like last year.
My father lost his hand because of Rajveer.
I will make sure that he loses his leg.
I remember everything.
You should not do that.
He reminded you. You fool!
It was because he said that the chariot has to first come into our area!
Forget about God!
It is human beings who have to be valued.
This time the chariot has to start from our street!
What are you talking?
The chariot has to start moving from our street.
This is the tradition of this village.
Do you want to change it?
Yes, I will change it!
I will change it and prove that I can.
Why?
Do you want the monopoly over the God, too?
Just for asking this, you slit off my father's hand.
I will not accept it.
I don't care about the festival.
But the chariot has to start moving from our street.
Don't try to create conflict in the village.
Sir, he is trying to stop the festival.
Sir, we have to listen to him too.
Will the God deny if asked to go through his street?
Our traditions change with time.
Everything is for our good, right?
Why can't we change it?
Forget about the change.
Are not we human beings or don't we have streets?
If that's the case, aren't we better equipped?
We have 100 families.
My men are much greater in number than yours.
Hey!
Don't talk about greatness.
You people are cowardly braggarts.
Why should God come to your streets?
Hey, Muniraj!
Mind your words. Otherwise…
I will cut you into pieces.
[RUCKUS]
I am afraid, Hari!
Hey, Hari!
When did you come from the city?
Aren't you Ms. Seeta Devi?
What is this?
Did you make a pact?
Tell me the truth.
Is it what I think it is?
That is it…
You have to help us, Pandit.
I cannot help you.
With your relation, you have given a lot of task to be done by the villagers.
Let it happen! Get married soon!
Get married!
We will not tolerate this.
Please be patient! Please calm down!
This fight took place last time as well.
We lost so many of our kith and kin last time.
God will take care of us if we stay united.
Don't talk like that. Stay silent.
The chariot shall come to our street first.
Why are they discussing too much?
What do we get by staying united?
They should keep on fighting like this.
They should start killing each other.
If we stand beside the dead, we will become the people's leaders.
What do you think about revenge?
Revenge is all about taking a chance.
[RUCKUS]
Stop it!
I will tell you my decision.
My grandson will take my position this time.
Everyone should obey his decision.
This marriage has to happen.
But it has to be with me.
How?
I don't know.
But I promise.
I will marry you and take you to my home.
The traditions are there to be followed but not to fight.
It will happen as it has happened so far.
I am afraid, Hari!
I will talk to Eswar.
He is the only one who can understand us.
I will talk to Eswar.
He is my would-be brother-in-law.
Unlike the last time's festival, no one will fight with the other.
This time the festivities should be extravagant!
? It is the most wonderful time ?
? It is the festive time ?
? Come on and dance ?

Mother, please give me some water.
Will you drink water from our house?
What is wrong in that?
I will stay here if you let me in.
What do you say, mother?
Mother, she is Ms Seeta.
I met her at the station.
I know her, Son.
How?
I gave you your first bath.
What do you mean?
I helped your mother in her delivery.
Later I cleaned you for the first time.
Wait a minute. I will bring you water.
What are you looking at?
I asked my mother about you as soon as I was born.
I am born. But, where is Seeta?
Remember that day.
I met you on your birthday.
I know.
Listen to me.
Your brother likes me a lot.
He wants me to enlist in the army.
Go.
You will look great in uniform.
But remember that you should be in a better position than Eswar.
I will be happy only if that happens.
Better position?
You just wait and watch.
One day, Eswar will salute me saying 'Haribabu, I salute you!'
If they drive all night, they'll reach this area.
That must be at the transfer point.
We have to reach the railway lines before the Germans.
That's only when we can plan an ambush.
What does ambush mean?
A sudden attack!
We have to get there before the Germans and hide.
That is not ambush but suicide.
To get there fast, we have to cross this mountain.
This big mountain?
Up and down?
Across this mountain there's a village named Muskita.
We may get vehicles there.
Let's go.
Listen to me, friends! I am not someone who fears death.
But, why do you want to sacrifice me?
I am talking to you.
Right, Das.
Listen! - We're losing time! Come on.
You white people will kill me.
Wait for me.
Looks like I will die single.
I was so stupid to come and join in the army.
They put before me so many temptations.
That I will get this and that!
Let's go.
I am starving to death.
Hey, cook! Give me something to eat.
There should be something to eat.
Rats are running in my stomach!
What?
How should I explain what it is?
Captain?
Rats are running in his stomach.
How is that possible?
Rats?
In your stomach?
Yes, I will fix it.
Eat this.
I am not a buffalo to eat this.
Come on…
Thank God, they didn't press the trigger otherwise I could have died!
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
Oh, Goddess Annapoorna! You are in all continents, not just in Kashi.
Listen! We thought that we'd starve to death.
We have some bread here.
No…
It's all right… It's his granddaughter.
She is his granddaughter.
Elena!
Grandfathter!
She is pretty!
Buddy! If we die without enjoyment they'll throw us out from heaven
I don't think that they'll mind.
Just ask them.
I don't think a German would kill you, Das.
I'll kill you before them.
Okay?
There are Germans outside.
Can you please help us?
[SPEAKING GERMAN]
I just wanted to eat.
Those idiots brought us here.
They might turn this bathroom into a graveyard.
[SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGES]
I thought women are different in every country.
But affection is the same all over the world.
Ma'am, forgive me for my mistake!
Yes. Once it gets dark, he can show us the way.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
A German doctor loved and married a Jew girl.
They have a daughter.
They say she has bad blood.
Hitler's army is in search of her to kill her.
Buddy, My master once said…
The history of a country is due to its pride.
Equality is their respect.
It's 20th century
In Germany, all are educated.
Still they are following Hitler's orders.
Foolishness. - Hey!
Haribabu….
Awesome!
Shall I cut your nails, sir?
Hello, Officer!
What is it? Are you watching the game or girls?
I never downgrade my position.
Lower class people cannot reach our level.
His place is always at his master's feet
Are you talking about Hari?
Just ask whatever you want to.
It's not a war to hide our motives.
It's love.
What kind of love is it?
Do you know who he is?
He's a man and I am a girl.
What else anyone needs to love?
Why is he so special?
He's educated, handsome and he makes me laugh.
He assured me that he'd take good care of me
What else do need in a man?
Blood.
Don't you mind his race?
Think about the prestige.
You can become son-in-law of such a family.
Then, we'll be even.
You are my sister.
I would have slapped you if you were my brother.
You are elder brother.
I would have slapped you if you were younger to me.
I would ask how you could think like that.
Mr. Eswar!
Come on! Let's have a match!
Hand to hand combat!
Winning or losing will be fun. Come on!
Hey, are you crazy to fight with him?
Hari!
Why are you inviting trouble?
He has to conduct my wedding.
I have to impress him.
Sir, he doesn't know our customs.
Let them play.
They are young.
It's festival too.
No matter who wins among you two, I'll be the winner.
Go.
Leave me, Mr. Eswar!
I am exhausted.
You feel like killing you.
How could you think that I'll allow you to be equal with us?
Look at my sister for the last time.
Forget her and you shall live.
Come here everyone.
Once we cross the church and go four streets across we will reach point 5716.
Oh, Lord Hanuman! Help me. I am stuck.
Hail Hitler.
There are fifteen soldiers.
Fallen from above to get stuck here.
They are monsters.
We can't find them elsewhere.
Hail Muller!
You give me a smile even when the enemies get closer.
Does it have German blood?
Blood is same for everybody.
That's a spoilt blood.
How?
She is an illegitimate kid.
She shouldn't address a German as her father.
Kill her.
Kill Her.
You are well versed with slitting, as you are a doctor.
Now slit her throat.
Take this.
You have done mistake because of love.
You have to correct it now.
Come on.
Kill her.
Please, No.
Leave us alone.
We will go away from here.
Poor little child!
I beg you.
Kill her.
This is not our problem.
Let's get out of here.
Captain Hari!
You have to kill.
Did you hear me?
Hari, what are you going to do? - It isn't our problem
Captain!
Captain, listen to me.
Damn it! What are you doing?
Muller…
We have to go.
We have to live.
We have to live with a hope that we'll not die at least for a day.
We will accompany you.
Please take us with you. - He is still saying the same thing.
He wants us to take him with us.
Tell him, we can't help him.
We have a mission to complete.
We can't help you.
Please, show some sympathy.
There are women and a small baby.
He says they have lost everyone.
They got nowhere else to go.
I understand, Eddy.
But, I am helpless. - Listen, buddy!
A guy ran away from here.
Was he Hitler?
No, he is not. He is very short.
What?
Is he that short?
But the world is terrified of him.
Everyone fears even a small animal.
We are alive because of you.
It is hard to be born as a Jew.
Please protect us.
Eddy! Tell them, 'I can't help'.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Sir, we have nowhere else to go.
Captain! We can take them with us.
Hari, we can't take them.
We are soldiers.
We are on a mission.
A soldier is the one who saves life.
They could put us in danger.
What if the baker's girl thought the same?
She was in danger, too.
We can't take them.
I can't allow this.
Please help us to survive.
Please take us with you.
Captain, let us drop them at a safe point.
All right, this is your decision, Hari.
You haven't forgotten the village practices.
Hey, are you waiting for the arrival of Goddess...
Or to see your girl Seeta Devi who is following the chariot?
Silly.
What? Me?
You are the first one to see.
She is not Seeta but Subadra. Balram is coming along with her.
He looks at you as if he will smash you.
Poor thing!
Looks like Lord Krishna should unite you both.
Pandit! You are here.
What?
Did you not notice her brother's aggressive look?
I don't have any ideas to interfere in this matter.
Let me do my venerations.
Pandit.
I am not Janardhan Sasthri
I am John Paul Shastri
John Paul, alias the caretaker of the world alias Lord Krishna.
Why don't you go and take him aside, my friend.
Friend?
You are my friend.
Seeta! Give it to them.
Bring the sarees to offer.
Ma'am, this is the blessing of marriage.
It is believed that a girl who immerses it in the temple pond will get married soon.
Go and do it, Devi.
Seeta! I'll come along with you.
No, you are in the midst of veneration.
You should remain here.
Let her go, sir.
Okay, I'll accompany her.
Let's go.
Married women shouldn't accompany her.
You might get married again.
What are you saying?
I won't accompany her.
Please go alone, dear.
Come.
You'll find good husband (Hari).
Please listen to me and go back.
I will not go.
What will they do?
They will kill you.
I am not weak if someone tries to kill me.
I am strong.
I can hit them.
I can kill.
Will you kill my brother?
My brother?
I don't want to hear anything about my brother. Get it?
It is not that. - Say no more.
I tried to convince him and he said that he would kill you.
I thought of sharing my pain with you but you want to kill him.
It was a mistake.
What I said was wrong.
Ms. Seeta! I will give up my life willingly for Eswar if needed.
Okay?
I swear.
Grandpa. - Yes?
Seeta should be married.
There's no need of an auspicious moment.
Just a holy marital thread is enough.
What happened now?
I don't mind losing my life if your brother wants to kill.
What is the use of this life given by God if I cannot make you happy?
Stop it, Shakespeare.
This kind of wedding has never happened in this village.
There might be combats. I am afraid to even think about that.
There will be no fights if the village is united.
Someone has to begin this.
How good it will be if we move forward a bit?
Our village will be good if we both marry.
Trust me.
I will marry you and bring you to my home.
Where did you get such courage?
From you!
Our country doesn't fight with British because of anger or patriotism.
That is because of jealousy.
We cannot protect ourselves.
That is why any girl will fall in love with any guy.
But, we have to stop them Eswar.
This is not called love.
It is more like questioning our authority.
'Seeta will leave us if we kill that fellow.'
'Our reputation will be gone in this village.'
'Eswar! There will be an invisible aura between people.'
'We have to simply follow that.'
'We should kill anyone who crosses the limit.'
'Everyone is not alike.'
He loved a girl of some other caste. So, he was killed.
'The matter will spread over from village to village.'
'Nothing will happen with just a word.'
'There is inequity among people's values.'
'You just have wake up that revengeful demon inside humans.'
'The entire place will turn into ashes.'
'Our servant's grandson will be burnt to ashes in a similar way.'
'All we have to do is to throw the first stone that creates ruckus.'
'Whoever remains shall be the king.'
? This is time, the lights turn up ?
? This is time, there is no peace ?
? This is the time to arise a conflict ?
? This is the time to fight with the enemies ?
? Stop enduring this atrocity ?
? Stop enduring this injustice ?
? Keep fighting till your last breath ?
? Elite yourself and turn down your enemies ?
? Stop enduring the horrifying acts and take revenge ?
? Raise your voice against your enemies ?
? You have to protect yourself ?
? Impede your enemies and fight with all ?
? Crime and torture became a common thing ?
? Show your darkest side to all the sinners ?
Seeta!
An auspicious time has been fixed for your wedding.
Get ready.
I want to see you smoking.
What?
I want to see you smoking.
I don't like smoking.
You don't even smoke if you don't like it.
But, you want me to get married.
Am I unworthy than a cigarette to you?
Seeta!
Your grandfather has made your holy marital thread by remodeling your mother's jewelry.
You can wear it now.
Go.
It's not a mere chain but our mother's blessings.
I will let the person who loves me wears it on me, grandma.
Mother doesn't mean gold or silver.
It's love.
After all, you are a girl.
Keep your mouth shut and do what I say.
What is the meaning of after all, Grandson?
It means low class.
Okay. Low class!
Please make her understand.
After all, I am a woman.
How can I tell her, dear?
I need to keep my mouth shut.
Is your name Haribabu? - Yes
Attack!
Who are you?
Where do you belong?
? Show your strength against crime ?
? You are greater than all of your enemies ?
? Fight off this unfairness with your vigor ?
? It is your responsibility to fight for injustice ?
? Never let down your faith and bravery ?
? Keep fighting till your last breath ?
? Elite yourself and turn down your enemies ?
? Stop enduring the horrifying acts and take revenge ?
? Raise your voice against your enemies ?
Don't kill me.
Who are you all?
Tell me.
Buddy, it's very nice.
Did you see?
Twenty corpses in one carrier!
I have a question.
What is our intention in taking them with us there?
You're doing well. Good!
Das! There are 500 families in our village.
I always thought that it was huge.
My grandfather carried me when I was 5 years old and took me to see drama.
I was surprised and I thought that no other place would be as big as that.
I went to Madras for higher studies after that.
That is when I realized that our country is 2000 kilometers...
from north to south and 2500 kilometers from east to west.
Oh my God!
Das!
There are many other countries besides ours.
This world measures up in Google?
It is 19 crores 70000 lakhs.
What? Is it that much?
And the sun is 13 lakh times bigger than the Earth.
The Earth and the other planets together revolve around the sun.
This is just a small solar family.
In this galaxy each star is a solar family.
Das! There are crores of living beings in this vast universe.
Who are we? What are our bonds and enmity?
Mine, yours, boundaries, wars, country, battleground…
What's all this?
We are like a tiny dewdrop on a bud.
It's the same for everyone.
It's beyond our understanding.
Right, Mr. Bhaskar uncle?
Bhaskar uncle? - Am I not right?
He used to live behind my house.
He used to keep chatting with me. - Oh.
He looks like this man.
That guy looks like Mr. Subba Rao.
She looks like Ms. Kamala.
She looks like my aunt's daughter Suryakala.
My dear sister! Come here…
Keep smiling, Suri.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
She says she is going to see her dad.
Is that why you are smiling?
What she is wondering is…do you have a dad?
Yes, I do.
There! – Wow.
He is there.
She is saying you can have her dad, too.
Hari! Why is she crying?
What happened with her?
They killed her father.
She lied to the kid.
Tears are above any language.
What's the baby's name?
Thekwa
Thekwa?
What does it mean?
I don't know
It means hope.
Hope! – Hope.
'A sweet letter to Ms. Seeta from Haribabu'
'Many a travels, many acquaintances!'
'I saw a small baby here.'
'Do you the name of the baby?'
'Thekwa'
'It means hope'
'Here everyone from a small kid to an old man have same hope.'
'It's to watch the sunrise tomorrow.'
They are enlisting people for the military from our village.
They sent me a letter. - That's good.
What's so good about it?
You want me to join the English guys to fight?
It's not that whites that you are joining.
It's for the nation and its citizens.
We have a nation. That's why, we are asking for freedom.
There won't be a nation if there were no soldiers. - You are right
'Not there! I came to know after coming here.'
'There is love even in war.'
'But, love is always like a war.'
? I feel nothing without you ?
? I can't live without you ?
? I am devoted to you ?
? I can't get anything without you ?
? I lost myself in your love ?
? I am lost in your madness ?
? I wanted you then ?
? I want you now ?
? I became affectionate to you ?
? Our relationship will remain forever ?
? I feel nothing without you ?
? In the dampness of the beach waves ?
? I am misty in your love! Come, o' my love ?
? I am devoted to your love ?
? Of love… ?
? I feel nothing without you ?
Buddy, isn't that symbol present in our nation's temples?
That's Swastik! It is ours.
It shows the four directions of the world and we are those 4 directions.
It also says that it is no one's property.
Oh my! What is the meaning of it?
Swastik means good!
Hitler doesn't know the meaning of it.
That is why he is killing everyone.
Let's go… Come on!
Calm the kids… - Eswar!
Move Fast!
[FIRING]
Eswar!
Move Fast!
Sadly we lost our Officer Jack.
He was a damn good soldier.
What exactly are you doing with all these civilians?
We had to bring them along with us, sir.
We didn't have an option.
And the German?
I trust him, sir
We will give sometime for Eswar.
And when he is well enough, we shall move. – Yes, sir.
Now go, get some rest. - Yes, sir
There is a way out.
Do you see this river?
If we just cross this river…
This is going to hurt.
It's okay.
You gave me the gun that I don't know how to use.
I was lucky to get my hands on that rock.
Otherwise, I would have been dead by now.
Didn't your Srinivas Rao say anything about it?
'Let bygones be bygones…Nothing is ours'
He doesn't care my words.
Melissa.
Hey! – Wow.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Love letter.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Seeta.
- Seeta.
My wife!
It is your family wedding.
Why are you conducting it in haste?
Sir! He is here.
It's not right on your part to arrive late for the wedding of my granddaughter.
My grandson is missing, sir.
I searched all over the place.
People are saying so many things.
I am scared, sir.
Nothing would have happened.
The clashes must have scared him.
He must have run away.
I wouldn't have been worried if he was fearful.
That's my fear, sir.
See!
Fear and responsibilities should be treated equally.
Your music has finalized countless weddings and witnessed plenty of deaths, too.
Go, start with your work.
Take to the temple, offer a coconut and then take them to temple. – Okay.
Seeta is here too.
What are you thinking?
Get ready.
They like toying with us.
We are there just to procreate and produce heirs.
We should accept it as an honor.
What can we do?
It's our fate.
I know it is difficult to do so. But you have to just get used to it.
Why shed tears on this auspicious wedding day?
You will never understand that.
I don't know what is going to happen.
Is that my grandpa?
Shakespeare! Please take me away with you.
The village will be ruined if we get separated.
But if we elope, it will be an insult to our love.
We should not let either of that to happen.
Come on.
Hey!
I have promised her that I will marry her in this house and bring her to our home, Grandpa.
? Who can face Hitler? ?
? I will not stop firing once I see them. ?
? Let me know where you are. ?
? I am coming in search of you ?
Come on, hide!
Move.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
They're getting there. Move.
Stay calm…
Captain Hari! We need to get out of there.
This is the only way.
But there is a German supply camp.
I need you to do reconnaissance and get me the details.
Be safe.
Soldiers, you should stay with them.
Let's go.
Sir, this is the base and these are the waters.
There is a tank and nearly seventy soldiers.
There are four boats here and two bunkers.
If we can take a tank and attack those bunkers, we can get away on the boats.
I used to be a tank commander.
Just get me into that tank and I will blow this crowd to smithereens.
This is not possible.
You cannot attack blindly.
We need a real plan.
Anyone who fears the future will have no life.
You should never fear to live.
We have to keep going.
Sir. - This is not our hometown.
We cannot use females as scapegoats and get away.
There are only seven of us. - We are there.
We are there.
This battle is not for me, you or for the country, Eswar.
This is for the future.
For that little baby 'Hope'.
Do you know something? That little baby is also fighting a battle.
It should be crying for milk, but is crying for dear life.
That baby is not even aware of this world.
So, will you kill her?
Shall it be killed in the name of race?
This is also similar to our hometown.
What happened there should not be repeated here.
Won't you allow the others to live in this village? Stop!
What is she doing here?
She is your daughter-in-law.
What is wrong with you?
You should've condemned him.
You have done a very big mistake.
Our thoughts are a mistake.
But, their hearts are pure.
Nothing seems wrong to me.
They love each other, my dear.
It's all over…
The village got its independence.
There are no practices or traditions.
They will marry whomever they want.
They will marry irrespective of their caste.
Anyone will do whatever he or she wants.
You will ruin your house by having such people.
But, you will also ruin the village.
I know about you.
You are a parasite living around Panchayat litigations.
How can you raise your hand on him?
Sir, people like him don't belong to anyone.
They are like wolves among people.
Hari.
How dare you elope with my sister in my absence?
I came when you were there.
You weren't present when I tied the knot.
One should be lucky to witness his sister's wedding.
A wedding cannot happen by just tying the knot.
If you bless us, will it be a marriage?
Marriage is a to vow to stay with each other.
That has already happened to us.
Now I just married her and brought her home.
I'll take off that holy thread and take away my sister.
Sir! Don't kill Haribabu.
We may have differences, but we are all united.
You can kill me if you want.
Please take your sister away.
This is my true repentance.
I will slit your head.
How dare you raise your voice!
Eswar! I will ask you a question. Will you answer?
Anyone will celebrate this occasion with presents happily.
You people carry that present yourself.
Don't you want your sister to be happy?
I am asking you my send-off present.
Brother! Please give me my love.
Please, brother.
What you are for asking is not love, but prestige!
Aren't you aware of his caste, creed and status?
No caste is lowly.
A caste is based on division of labor.
Those who work became traders.
Those who guard turned as patrol.
Those who do farming became farmers.
Potters! Shepherds! Laundry man and even a leader!
They don't live for themselves.
They live for others.
Who are you to ask?
You should never care about the caste.
You should care about their humanity.
Son! Even though he is young, he has stated something profound.
You too should accept him.
Hey, move. Come.
Hari!
Hari.
Eswar.
Leave him.
Hari!
No.
Hari.
Eswar! Leave him.
Eswar.
I beg of you.
Please leave him.
Eswar!
Hari!
Seeta!
Hari! - Seeta
Seeta…
Seeta!
Shakespeare
Why are you crying on this auspicious wedding day?
Seeta…
Victory will favor him if you cry.
Seeta.
We have finally won, right? – Seeta.
'To unite everyone…'
'There will be many enemies and cannons.'
'But, it is not a big deal.'
'You fear death only if you love your life.'
'But, if you live for your desires…there will be no death.'
'Let's see…yours beloved Haribabu.'
Buddy! I had a different opinion before.
I would've missed a lot if I escaped.
The entire army is waiting to kill a small baby.
My mother will be proud of me if I can at least kill one of them.
I like you, Das.
Until now, you were in the army.
But now you have become a true soldier.
It's getting dark.
Let's go!
Let's show them.
Yes, Captain.
We will stick to the plan.
Just kill each and every bastard out there and get to the boats. - Hari
You could have abandoned me.
But you came to save me.
Why?
For my Seeta!
She slapped me when I said that I would kill you.
? The country calls out for you ?
She likes you a lot.
? This is the work of the lessees ? This is for her.
? This is the moment of extremity ?
Take care of them.
? Let your voice tell the story ?
? You are soldier of the country ?
? You shall disappear within it ?
? You are soldier of the country ?
? You shall disappear within it ?
? Don't let your enemy finish you ?
? Like an anticipated person ?
? This is your gratitude towards motherland ?
? Fulfill your responsibility ?
? Show them your strength ?
? You will have see victory in the war ?
? With all your heart ?
? You will have to protect ?
? Never fear your enemies ?
? Your bravery is your celestial weapon ?
? Fulfill your responsibility ?
? Go ahead of all those enemies ?
? Your faith shouldn't be lesser than your enemies ?
? Enemies are spread all around the world ?
? All you got is your courage to fight ?
? You will have to protect those innocent people ?
? You shall not care about your life ?
? You shall sacrifice for that purpose ?
? Show them your strength ?
? You will have see victory in the war ?
? With all your heart ?
? You will have to protect ?
? Never fear your enemies ?
Eswar!
Move!
? You will have to protect your people ?
? You will have to attack your enemies ?
? Finish all your enemies ?
? Evacuate all those enemies ?
? You are soldier of the country ?
? You shall disappear within it ?
? You are soldier of the country ?
? You shall disappear within it ?
? Show them your strength ? Move!
? You will have see victory in the war ?
? With all your heart ?
? You will have to protect ?
? Never fear your enemies ?
Listen! Come fast.
Come fast.
Hari! Don't go!
Hari! Stop.
I'll come home after going to village. You go home. – Okay.
Sir.
I need to dig a grave. Will you help me?
Will you help me to dig a grave?
Grave?
What happened to my Hari?
Hari!
I read all these letters, uncle.
I felt like washing Hari's feet and let him marry my sister.
Hari is no more.
They couldn't live together in this world.
They are at least together in death.
My sister passed away.
I never tried to understand Hari.
But Hari saved me by sacrificing his life.
Hari was a great son.
He was a good grandson!
He was a great lover!
He was a great soldier!
Above all, He was a great friend that I could always remember.
Great Haribabu! Salute!
You just wait and watch.
One day, Eswar will salute me saying 'Haribabu, I salute you!'
Take this away.
This is the order of the village head.
I am ordering you on his behalf.
Remove it!
Our village used to be united now.
It has been smashed to smithereens.
People should live together but not with barriers.
Remove the barriers.
Remove them!
[RUCKUS]
How good it will be if we move forward a bit?
Our village will be good if we both marry.
Mister!
Do you like me?
No, I love you.
