Better than all the world
Is our India
Better than all the world
Is our India
We are its nightingales
And this is our garden
Better than all the world
Is our India
This way.
Our present decides our future.
The decisions that we make today decide our future.
It's very easy to choose between right and wrong.
But to choose the better of two goods,
or the lesser of two evils,
these choices decide our lives.
Now, what you choose is up to you, Zooni.
Oh, leave my little girl alone.
Zooni, just listen to your heart, dear, and not your father's philosophy.
In life, sometimes you have to try to follow your heart,
and not your brain, Zulfi.
Had I used my brain, my beloved wife,
then you wouldn't have been here today.
So, Zooni?
Dad, Mom.
I really can't decide. I will do whatever you say.
So that's it. It has been decided.
Zooni will not go to Delhi.
I found my soulmate.
But when will Zooni find hers?
When will some football player hit her head with a ball?
-Any regrets? -Regrets?
I praise God every day,
that the penalty kick of the great football player,
Zulfikar Ali Beg,
missed the goal and hit me square on the head.
It was my worst kick ever.
-Any regrets? -Regrets?
That's why I tended to you in the hospital for a week.
My love, how long we will be thinking
that she may have to live her life without that special someone?
That, perhaps, she would never marry?
And when we're gone,
who will take care of our Zooni?
She has to take care of herself.
We must give her a chance to live her life.
We should be her strength, not her weakness.
Madam Mehbooba!
Whatever you command, Your Highness.
By the way, your bags weigh more than your brain.
Obviously! Haven't you heard that saying?
-Which one? -"The buffalo is bigger than the brain."
No, Bobo, it's "Is the brain bigger or the buffalo?"
-Fatty! -Not Fatty, it's Fatima.
Why do you distort perfectly good names?
Not Ruby, it's Rubina!
Come on, take the bags at least!
You were kept alone with the bags...
I have to represent my state at the Republic Day performance
at the President's Palace,
in front of the Chief Minister of Delhi, and what do I have to pull this off?
A bunch of wild cats!
If we're a bunch of wild cats, what does that make our leader?
Who said that?
Have you brought your knitting materials?
When we're upset, we say these things to distract us, right?
"Have you brought your knitting materials?"
"Keep your ticket safe." "Don't get off at a station on the way."
-God keep you safe, children. -Dad?
Dad!
When Dad's upset,
it's not just his voice, but his walking style also changes.
Yes.
And he can't even cry in front of all these girls.
But I don't have such problem.
Mom!
Dear, I knew that one day, you would get to do this.
But, I don't know why I'm afraid.
Afraid of what? Losing me to some prince?
Oh, I wish! One look at you, and he will be on his knees.
Heaven forbid! Will he be a porter? He would kneel to get my bags?
Quiet! Not a porter, not your bags.
He will take your heart away.
With some poetry, maybe.
"Every once in a while, I get this feeling in my heart
that you were made for me."
"All this while, you were living in the mountains somewhere."
Yes!
-"You have been called down to earth, -"You have been called down to earth,
-only for me." -only for me."
Okay, bye.
-God keep you safe, my child. -God keep you safe, Mom.
God keep you safe! Bye.
Be sure to say a prayer for me at the Jama Masjid.
-Yes, Mom. -And you,
remind Zooni to go for an eye checkup.
And you, Rubina, take care of my baby!
-Relax, ma'am. -Relax, ma'am.
Don't worry, I'm here, aren't I?
-That's what I'm afraid of, Fatima. -It's Fatty, ma'am.
Bye, dear. Bye, Zooni!
Mom!
-Mom! -Yes, Zooni!
If the prince recites poetry, what should I say?
"May my life's breath find refuge in your heart.
Destroyed in your love, may my life depart!"
Bye, Mom!
Why do you do this?
You can say something as well.
Rao!
Oh my, god. Coming, madam!
Rao!
Garbage everywhere. Idiot!
Lord Venkateshwa Rao at your service, madam.
We're here just for seven days. It's five days for the show,
-then we will stay for two more days. -Very good.
-I want to enjoy Delhi for five days. -Okay.
Not your bald head. Stand straight.
I'm not even a man anymore, madam.
The thing is, years of bowing to government officers made me like this.
I think, if I have children, even they will be born bent over.
I have no interest in your family planning program!
Where is that tour guide?
I am Balwaan, ma'am.
You are exactly what you look like.
Now tell me, what's the problem here?
Where do I start?
From the headlights to the exhaust, problem is everywhere.
No need to mention.
I mean, your tour guide didn't come, where is he?
"Don't look around the city, forget the wasteland, too.
Don't look around the city, forget the wasteland, too.
Behold God's greatest creation.
Just look up and see Rehan."
Rehan.
Rehan... Rehan Khan.
You, Mr. Romeo, stop this cheap poetry!
Come on, let's go, girls.
You didn't applaud me, now at least help me.
Oh, are you blind?
Yes, you didn't see that?
Are you blind, too?
Thank God, I'm not.
That's a nice thing to say to a blind person.
If I were blind,
I couldn't have seen the most beautiful thing in the world.
You.
"Your beauty made God make a mistake,
so that you don't cast an evil eye on yourself,
he took your eyes away."
-Zooni, where are you? -I'm coming, Fatty.
Fatty? Is that your name or your dog's?
Come on, Balwante. Passengers are ready. Hit the first gear.
We will get erased and die
But will do some deed
Heavenly!
"If I wish, I was a roll of wool.
How I wish, I was a roll of wool
and wrapped around her fingers."
If you were a roll of wool, then with the needles, I would...
I wish she would make a sweater out of me,
and wear me even in the summer.
What a thought!
Very nice!
Zooni, stop encouraging his nonsense.
"I am a Rose, don't mistake me as Jasmine.
I am a Rose, don't mistake me as Jasmine.
I am your lifelong admirer, don't mistake me for your friend's"
-Nice one, boss. -Hey, Mr. Guide,
your cheap poetry is going to get you nowhere.
So, who are you knitting this sweater for?
She's knitting it for a prince, not for a devil like you.
And if she were interested in you, she would speak up,
and not sit quietly.
Oh, so she does speak?
I thought she was blind and mute too.
Zooni!
Don't talk to him, you don't know these men.
Looks like you know men very well?
Stupid guide.
"Sitting there, keeping her lips silenced,
you will regret it.
So often after silence, love has awakened, stronger still."
Amazing!
Bobo!
Tommy!
"There is no limit to human desire.
There is no limit to human desire.
After two yards of burial cloth, we still want two yards of earth."
-Amazing, Zooni! That was superb! -Amazing! Heavenly! Superb!
Now you say something.
"I will suffer pain for you, I can face any risk for you.
For the sake of your friendship, my friend,
I would even love my enemy."
Oh, yeah, I love your style!
The emperor, Shah Jahan,
once walked through these lanes of the Red Fort.
And so did Mumtaz, heavenly!
His very beautiful wife.
There are stairs!
I can manage myself.
But how will I manage myself around you?
Bobo!
Shall we?
Bobo, tell me, how does he look like?
Who, Rehan?
Killer, my girl! A real killer.
He's simply obnoxious!
He looks okay, so I thought he must be a nice guy,
but he called me a stupid girl.
And forget all his sweet talk.
The way he looks at women, it's shameful!
And he told me he doesn't believe in God. Can you believe that?
Look, even the crows are cawing, "Stay away from that guide, Rehan."
"How would you go away from me?
How would your heart forget me?
I'm the fragrance of your breath.
How will you stop your breath?"
-Unbelievable! -Come on, let's go.
Heavenly
If the moon was to recommend me
This is what he'd say to you
I want to drop the veil of decency
I want to cross the line with you
I insist on destroying myself
On destroying myself in you
If the moon was to recommend me
This is what he'd say to you
I want to drop the veil of decency
I want to cross the line with you
Your charms are like a gentle breeze
Let them touch me as you pass
Your every move is a graceful branch
Let it move into my heart
Come into my arms, making any excuse
I must destroy myself in you
If the moon was to recommend me
This is what he'd say to you
I want to drop the veil of decency
I want to cross the line with you
Heavenly
If I tell you my true intentions
I'm sure they'll make you blush
If I make you hear my heartbeats
I'm sure they'll leave you flushed
But I cannot hide my true feelings
I must destroy myself in you
If the moon was to recommend me
This is what he'd say to you
I want to drop the veil of decency
I want to cross the line with you
I insist on destroying myself
On destroying myself in you
Hey Rao, stand straight.
Looking at your back, I'm getting a back pain as well.
We have to leave for rehearsal at exactly 9:00 a.m., tomorrow.
So, leave.
It's me, Rehan.
I know.
Only you can be so bold.
I want to be even more frank.
I want you to run away with me.
I want to show you Delhi, alone.
Without your gang of bodyguards.
Don't say no,
not without thinking about it at least.
And you will definitely think about me.
God forbid, the crows are cawing.
I will wait for you tomorrow after the rehearsal,
with these crows.
You have had more girls in your life than the mileage of my bus.
Now, why are you behind this blind girl?
What can I do Balwante?
Everyone desires for the moon.
There's only one headlight in the sky which shows us the way.
Now, you want that too?
They say, you always lose sleep in love.
I wish someone would love me.
I feel very sleepy.
Let's go.
Zooni, you must be tired, go to sleep.
I am awake after so many years.
I can't sleep now.
I want to be even more frank.
I want you to run away with me.
Zooni, where is your concentration?
Bobo, can I borrow your phone?
Pick up, Mom!
I think, I have to make this decision by myself.
Oh, lord, how silly of me.
Of course, there's no point in you going sightseeing when you can't see.
Okay, you can go back to the guest house after rehearsal.
At least you will be away from that guide, Rehan.
Sir, tell me one thing,
you stand here all day,
don't you wish you were inside on the President's chair?
Why should I think that?
In the police, we get regular promotions.
But once you become President, there's no scope of promotion at all!
You're a very funny man!
All thanks goes to my grandfather.
-Grandfather? -My grandfather worked for the British.
All day long they used to say, "Jolly good."
When I was born, he lost his memory.
All he remembered was, "Jolly good."
So that's what he named me, Jolly Good.
Yes, have a laugh at me.
Even the officers that pass by here,
they also say, "Jolly Good... Singh" and move on with laughing.
I think that's great.
Because of you, the country is running in good spirits!
That "Jolly Good... Singh."
Rehan!
"I felt God himself had blessed me.
When all she did was to address me with grace."
Very nice!
Rikshaw!
Hello!
Look, I sent Rana with Balwante.
No, I'm not coming today.
So what, I didn't tell you earlier, I'm telling you now.
-Let's go. -You left work without permission?
Yeah, so?
My father says that if a person can't be loyal to his work
they can't be trusted with anything.
Very good!
I've left work for you, and you're giving me a speech on loyalty?
My mother says there is nothing bigger than loyalty.
If you're done with your mother and father's sermons, can we go?
Why am I telling you all of this?
Why are you telling me this?
-So that I go back to work? -Yes.
Think about it.
If I go today, I won't come back tomorrow.
I will go back to the guest house, you will go back to work.
Tomorrow, you will take the day off, and then we will go, okay?
You've heard what your parents have said.
Now, listen to me carefully.
If I go today, I will not come back tomorrow.
You will come.
Let's go.
"I don't live the life of the selfless,
nor do I grab another's wine.
If she loves, let her come and declare it.
I do not follow anyone."
God be with you.
Heavenly
Greetings, Ms. Zooni.
-Greetings, Mr. Jolly. -Excellent!
I'm greeting you in your language and you're greeting me in mine.
You know what happened yesterday?
Yesterday, I said good morning to 20 people
and they all said good evening to me instead.
-How can so many people be wrong? -No, it was my watch that was wrong.
It stopped in the morning,
so I said "good morning" to everyone until night!
I can't see Rehan today.
I can't see him either.
I think he's like me,
completely clean from the heart and completely muddled from the brain.
"I couldn't quench my thirst with water, so, I set off for the bar.
I thought of complaining to God about you,
but he too turns out to be your admirer."
Jolly good!
I'm with you now.
So, how can you show Delhi to a blind girl?
Can you see me, Zooni?
No way.
How's my voice?
Like the thunder before the storm.
How do I smell?
Like the earth after the first rain.
How do I feel?
Like a prince in a beggar's clothing.
And just like this, you will see Delhi.
Watch out!
This is called Khooni Darwaza.
The emperor Aurangzeb had his brother, Dara Shikoh, beheaded,
-and hung his head up here. -Rehan!
Exactly where you are standing.
And the British government, shot two sons and the grandson...
-Rehan! -...of Bahadur Shah Zafar,
right there, behind you.
Rehan, that's enough.
Let's leave from here.
This is the bloody history of Delhi.
From the Mughals to the British, whoever came to India,
caused a bloodshed in Delhi.
That's why, until today, the tears of blood flow from these walls.
Scared? What did you think? I won't take revenge for yesterday?
And what did you think, I would get scared so easily?
When I have never seen any colors, how can the color of blood scare me?
Now you're scared.
I'm going to Delhi to get her back.
Four days are enough to understand life.
Zulfi!
What's happening to her without us, do you have any idea?
She's brought up on home-cooked meals, she must be starving in Delhi.
The Delhi crowd, who would care for her?
Who? I'm not there, am I?
I can't take her agony anymore, I'm going.
Are you going for her sake or for your own?
IMMORTAL SOLDIER
Let's go.
You were right, Rehan.
You did show me Delhi.
Hello, sir, here are the breads.
They say,
the feeling that one gets for the country in front of the Immortal Soldier Flame,
he gets the same in front of the Taj Mahal, for love.
Feelings, love, those are meaningless talks.
When it comes down to the basics,
then, needs are everything.
Needs of the stomach,
needs of the body.
So you believe that needs are everything
-and that feelings are nothing? -Yes.
Okay, so you're spending time with me, is this also to fulfill some need?
You shouldn't arouse a man like me.
My needs are great.
Even one chicken is not enough.
-Hey! -Even one girl is not enough.
So, Rehan darling, how are things with you?
And how are you, Zeenat?
Have you forgotten how I am?
Come once and meet me, I will remind you.
Apologies, it's my fault actually.
He's been busy with me for the last couple of days.
That's what makes the guide, Rehan, so special.
So, when do you plan on being busy with me again?
"I can't explain the ways of this market to you.
He who is sold can't ever be a buyer again."
Rehan darling, you will never improve, ever.
Good evening.
You seem to know her very well.
That's me.
I told you...
I only believe in needs,
not in feelings or love.
And I only believe in love.
Meeting that guide in secret, forget about Helen,
but I can't believe you lied to me!
This is why I lied to you.
You're less of my friend and more of a Hitler.
Hitler? I am just protecting you.
Not me, you are protecting my blindness.
Look, how do I explain it to you? He just isn't right for you, Zooni.
Perhaps, but when I'm with him, I feel happy.
I feel alive.
And this feeling is special, very special.
But I don't like that guide, not one bit.
And come what may, Zooni. I will never let you go with him, never.
Turn off your light.
Take it, my girl.
Thank you, Mr. Jolly.
Mr. Jolly, could you please allow my good luck to come in?
Don't insist, my girl. This tough Sikh has a soft heart.
I'm sorry, but rules are rules, and rules are never jolly good.
I know you're only doing your duty.
But still, I will be singing for him.
People say that after so many years of independence,
our Republic Day has lost its meaning.
That it's just another holiday, and nothing else.
But for me, it's not just a holiday.
This day marks the birth of my country.
Some people believe that the condition of our country
is like our old monuments.
The beauty of those remained in the past.
I am blind, so I don't see the faults in my country.
But the people who can see, why can't they see the beauty here?
What Emperor Shah Jahan said about Kashmir,
we, the girls from Kashmir, believe that
that should be said for the whole of India.
"If there is a heaven on earth,
it is just here, it's here, it's here."
Here, the earth changes its color At every step
Here, the languages have the best Of all the colors
Here, the earth changes its color At every step
Here, the languages have the best Of all the colors
The climes wear green on their head
The sky lays a blue sheet over its bed
Rivers are golden and oceans are green Every part is well-dressed
My country is colorful My country is full of color
Mother, I bow to thee
The sun with its rose-tinted neck
Plays around
It covers the shy ground
With the yellow scarf of flowers
Color is in the veil and also on the mound Bright color is all around
My country is colorful My country is full of color
Bright red faces are all around
Smiling and glowing in fervor
Laughter is colorful and also happiness
Relationships are full of color
Color is in promises And in memories, color is everywhere
My country is colorful My country is full of colors
Here, the color of love runs so deep
Once it's put on, it never fades away
The forever color of true love
It simply glistens and doesn't spill
Color is in charm and also in manner All the colors are full of flavors
My country is colorful My country is full of colors
Here, the earth changes its color At every step
Here, the languages have the best Of all the colors
The climes wear green on their head
The sky lays a blue sheet over our heads
Rivers are golden and oceans are green Every part is well-dressed
My country is colorful My country is full of colors
It's all colorful My country is full of colors
My country is colorful My country is full of colors
Go, Zooni, he's waiting for you outside.
He said that I'm the cutest of all the girls.
After you, of course. Go, Zooni.
Stop, you can't go anywhere.
Fatty!
Certainly not like this.
Your hair is all over the place.
You haven't even worn your shawl properly.
How can I let you go like this?
-Fatty, you're really... -Okay, that's enough.
Go, Zooni.
-Bobo! -Let's go.
"The fire is in the sun,
but it's the earth that burns.
The eyes fall in love,
but it's the heart that suffers."
You're looking exceptionally beautiful this evening.
Really?
But you're looking exactly the same to me.
Rehan,
you have brought me here? I thought you don't believe in God.
Will you just keep quiet for a bit?
Shut your eyes now.
Rehan, I hope you remember that I'm visually impaired.
Rest your eyelids for a while.
It's a common belief that this holy water does miracles.
I pray for it to be true.
No one has ever asked for such a blessing for me.
It's not for you, I'm doing this for myself.
Perhaps when your eyes open, you will keep your mouth shut.
Where are we? It's so noisy!
This is the real Delhi.
The quiet museums, Red Fort, that's not the real Delhi.
This is the sound of Delhi, the essence of Delhi.
I wish I was deaf as well.
Just a minute. Wait here.
-Hello. -Rehan.
Yes, it's me.
Rehan?
-Yes, I got it, all right. -Rehan.
Rehan, you're watching me, aren't you?
Rehan!
Zooni!
What's this madness?
I just wanted to show you.
Show what? That you're such a fool?
-No. -I will call you later.
Boys and girls, you know,
they impress each other on their first dates.
So I thought that...
Your life is very precious, Zooni.
Don't waste it on anyone, certainly not on me.
My mother says, to gain something, you have to lose something.
Oh, god!
"Mother says this, father says that."
Where is Zooni in all this? What does Zooni say?
Nobody has ever asked Zooni.
I'm asking you. Tell me.
I like you.
Let's go.
Now you're scared.
You're still scared.
I can manage from here.
Where is the gorgeous Rehan?
What's the time on your watch, Bobo?
It's 10:30 a.m.
My watch is fine. Why is he late?
It's our last day.
Maybe he's getting you a gift, that's why he's late.
He himself is a gift.
No news?
No.
No, Fatty, nothing yet.
Mom?
Zooni!
How are you, my child?
We saw your performance on TV.
It was fantastic.
When everyone stood up to clap, your father and me--
Mom.
I want to talk to you about something.
What is it? Tell me.
When you and Dad first met,
after he tended to you in the hospital,
if he had suddenly disappeared,
what would you have done?
I would have asked him why he was misbehaving so much.
And tell him to stop this nonsense immediately.
"Misbehaving"? Who is misbehaving?
So, is that what I should do?
Who is he?
Who is who?
Rehan.
-Rehan. -Rehan?
So do you love him?
"Do you love him?" What are you saying?
-Give me the phone, I will deal with this. -Just a minute, Zulfi, please.
-Yes. -So, what have you decided?
Nothing, maybe he doesn't love me.
Zooni,
just remember one thing, dear.
Give your life for the one who gives you his love.
But give your self-respect
only to the one who is willing to be destroyed for your love.
This is Humayun's Tomb.
It was constructed for him by his wife, Hamida.
Take a look at what a wife made for her husband.
And you can't even make me breakfast.
Don't worry, I will start building your grave right away.
Come.
I am blind and you are the one who can't see me?
"If by chance, I have made a mistake,
then please consider it as a mistake and forget it.
But forget just the mistake
even by mistake, don't ever forget me."
That's amazing. Great. You heard that?
Balwante, take them ahead.
-Let's go. -But our guide--
Stop it!
There is no but, only the Sikh!
Move it!
Look here, it's the Qutub Minar.
No, Zooni.
Fatty was right.
You should love a prince,
not a devil like me.
It's too late now.
Now this devil is my prince.
I can't give you anything, Zooni.
Remember what I told you?
I believe in needs, not in feelings or love.
Women are like cities for me.
I spend some time in one,
get immersed in it,
and then, move to another city.
This is what I am, and I cannot change.
Look, Rehan,
all this princely world sounds good in dreams,
not in reality.
I have found you, this is destiny.
We haven't met by chance, we've met by destiny.
If not the rest of our lives,
at least we can spend the next 12 hours together, can't we?
Perhaps all we have is today.
Just today, just now.
Don't come closer to me, Zooni.
This storm will destroy you.
"May my life's breath find refuge in your heart.
May my life's breath find refuge in your heart.
Destroyed in your love, may my life depart."
How can you love me so much?
How can one love someone so much?
It's a promise, Zooni Ali Beg.
The next 12 hours will be the most beautiful time of your life.
The raindrops have a conspiracy
They have a silent wish or a plea
The raindrops have a conspiracy
They have a silent wish or a plea
Look at this, just see
Softly and slowly this gentle breeze
Says so many things, listen, please
Why there is a distance Between you and me
Look at this, just see
The winds will never be Such shameless again
Our steps will never falter So blameless again
The winds will never be Such shameless again
Our steps will never falter So blameless again
This rain is not so straight It has a twist
Certainly, it's telling us something As it pours and mists
Just understand it
Softly and slowly this gentle breeze
Says so many things, listen, please
Why there is a distance Between you and me
Look at this, just see
The desire like a firefly That glows bright and dims
We're in such a sweet predicament What can be done?
The desire like a firefly That glows bright and dims
We're in such a sweet predicament What can be done?
Don't discard the request Of the lips like this
Don't call this wish Of the breath a remiss
Just touch it and feel this
Softly and slowly this gentle breeze
Says so many things, listen, please
Why there is a distance Between you and me
Look at this, just see
Rehan?
Rehan.
Wake up, please.
My train leaves at ten. If you don't wake up, I will miss it.
I spoke to Fatty,
and she's bringing my stuff to the station.
We don't have to go to the guest house. How much longer will you sleep?
Don't you have to go to work?
And don't you dare to miss work today.
See, I forgot, Mom had told me to get the eye checkup done.
And Dad has asked for a chess set.
Can't we stop and get it on the way? We do have time, don't we?
Rehan, are you listening?
Oh, I didn't even say goodbye to Mr. Jolly Good Singh.
Please tell him on my behalf.
And...
here's my address.
You will write to me, won't you?
Is your wife visiting home for the first time after marriage?
Zooni, I want to say that--
No, Rehan!
You made no promises, and I will not ask you for anything.
I always wanted love to be the most important thing in my life,
and now, it became true because of you.
You were wrong, Rehan.
I was not destroyed in your storm,
I was rejuvenated.
Now, your picture will always remain with me.
And now, I can't leave.
Not until you step off my shawl.
God be with you, Rehan.
Be happy.
Zooni.
Now, can I say that I was right?
No.
No!
I won't say, I will never say it.
"May my life's breath find refuge in your heart."
Rehan?
"May my life's breath find refuge in your heart.
Destroyed in your love, may my life depart."
-Zooni. -Rehan!
Hey, Fatty.
If not for me,
at least pull the chain for Zooni.
With pleasure.
What's going on? What is the guide doing here?
The brave heart is taking his bride away.
He wants to marry you?
What? Who is he? What does he do?
What does he look like? He wants to marry her!
They love each other.
So, what did you say to him?
What could I say? I said he must ask my parents.
What did she tell him?
She's our daughter!
She wouldn't give any answer without our consent.
Zooni, I have complete faith in you and your choice.
Yes, my darling, tell him yes.
And we're coming to Delhi right away to get you married.
Come quickly, Mom.
I miss you so much.
Now, where are you going?
We're going to Delhi, aren't we? We need to book tickets.
As usual, he runs away
the moment when there are tears in his eyes.
God keep you safe, Mom, God keep you safe.
God keep you safe, my child, God keep you safe.
Our daughter has found her prince.
She has found her prince.
When did you last get your eyes checked?
I don't remember.
-Many years ago in Srinagar. -That is the problem.
We doctors go on about regular checkups,
but you people don't listen.
These days, science has progressed so much,
that something which was impossible five years ago
is possible now.
What do you mean?
Retinal replacement can help you in the cases like yours.
The chances are very less, but there is still a chance.
So you're saying that Zooni will be able to see?
Yes, there is a chance.
We're ready to take that chance, doctor.
I will check the first available date.
There won't be any problem, doctor?
Don't worry, our best team is on it.
I will meet you after the operation.
Rehan, you're hugging me for the tenth time.
I'm not complaining,
but please don't worry, I will be fine.
If you're so worried, then why didn't you wait for Mom and Dad?
We could have done this after the wedding?
Let's go, it's time for the operation.
Don't forget to pick up Mom and Dad from the station.
And Jolly Good Singh, wants to come here later as well.
You're going to the President's Palace, right?
Yes.
Zooni.
I love you very much.
I know.
After the bomb blast in Peshawar,
the Independent Kashmir Front has demanded
that both India and Pakistan leave Kashmir
and comply with their demand of an independent Kashmir.
Or else, both nations would face similar attacks.
The Chief Minister has survived,
but as per the earlier reports, eight security officers have been killed.
And at least 15 others are badly wounded.
The main building has not been harmed very much,
but the left side of it has faced severe damage
and is destroyed completely.
Two terrorists have been captured
and the IKF have claimed responsibility for this bombing.
Their demand is that India and Pakistan would leave Kashmir,
and let it be an independent country.
Zooni.
Mom.
-Mom. -My child.
Mom, I can see.
Yes, my darling.
I can see, Dad
You can cry in front of me now, Dad.
I can see you cry.
But where is Rehan? He's not with you?
Didn't he pick you up from the station?
Dad, where are they taking us?
Why has your breathing changed Dad? I'm not getting anything, Mom.
Mom, where is Rehan? Why aren't we waiting for him?
Mom, why are you crying?
Mom?
Dad?
Where are we?
Dad, please let me go from here.
-Is it necessary to do this now? -Yes, ma'am.
What do we have to do?
Why can't we wait for Rehan? Dad, where are we? Dad?
I'm getting suffocated here, Dad. Please let's go.
Mom, let's go. Please.
The bomb blast at the President's Palace--
What do we have to do with that? We don't know anything.
You're still crying, Mom, please don't.
-Please, Dad, get me out. -Doctor?
Zooni, I was going to identify him,
but his state was such that I could not.
So you have to identify him, Zooni. Is this Rehan or not?
No! It can't be Rehan.
It can't!
Please...
Don't make my daughter go through this, please.
Identification is compulsory.
Zooni...
Zooni, my darling, even this is life.
If I wish, I was a roll of wool, wrapped around her fingers.
I'm the fragrance of your breath.
How will you stop your breath?
How can you love me so much?
How can one love someone so much?
Don't come closer to me, Zooni.
This storm will destroy you.
Think about it.
If I go today, I won't come back tomorrow.
At this moment, we are at the Bureau of Military Intelligence.
There is not much information about the blast,
but here is the head of the Anti-Terrorist Unit,
Mr. Susheel Rawat.
Mr. Rawat, what can you tell us about the blast?
When we know more, we will let you know.
But tell us something, who is responsible for the blast?
These media people.
They start 24-hour channels, and then, go after us to fill the time.
I will have them under control.
Sir, Tyagi has been called from Intelligence Agency, RAW.
Tyagi?
Now things will be out of control.
So, Tyagi, is the case solved yet?
So, what does your psychology mumbo jumbo say?
-This is his work. -Who?
Who are you talking about?
These two are telling the truth.
They haven't seen him.
They were simply given instructions.
The master planner is someone else.
Do you need an invitation to tell me his name?
Who is it?
This man has changed the face of the IKF.
He has taken a ragtag group and made it a professional organization.
A group on par with the most deadly in the world.
Rather than the best intelligence agencies like CIA, KGB, MUSHAR,
even not smaller than RAW.
It's because of this man that our eight ships
and a large part of the Bombay port are under the water of the Arabian Sea.
It's because of this man that Islamabad airport's new wing
was destroyed even before it could be completed.
He, alone, has changed the face of terrorism in India and Pakistan.
Those blood-shot eyes
and fanatical terrorists are a thing of the past.
This man is a thinker, a planner. No one knows his name.
No one knows his past or where he comes from.
He can be anyone or no one.
He can be the man sitting next to you in a theater or the train,
or a bank teller, or even the cigarette seller outside.
He is very intelligent and dangerous.
We have to find him.
Because if we don't, he can take terrorism
to a level beyond our imagination,
because our imagination is nothing like him.
I'm sorry, Grandfather. The mission was not entirely successful.
I had set everything,
but those fools just didn't follow the instructions.
Everyone can't be like my grandson, a perfect soldier.
But, he made a mistake, too.
And unfortunately, because of a woman.
It's very unusual that you were carried away like this.
And that too because of a woman?
She is dead now.
Now, listen to me carefully.
You don't need to worry about this soldier.
My concentration was
and will always remain on our independence.
I am a soldier and nothing else.
That's all I wanted to hear, my grandson.
Now, I will meet you after the Bangkok operation.
May God keep you safe.
You had taken me to my goal, Zooni.
I shouldn't have taken you off that train.
But I became weak, and I fell in love with you.
If it's possible, forgive me, Zooni.
I shouldn't have brought you into my life.
God be with you.
You are the Defense Secretary, you should have some power.
Do something, get that Tyagi off my back!
Last year, the AI-Qaeda's attempt to attack on Delhi airport
was foiled by Tyagi.
She got lucky once.
And now, she thinks she's a big shot Intelligence officer.
I can't do anything now.
The Defense Minister himself has asked her to be on this case.
Sir, it's nothing less than the Armageddon.
The press shouldn't even get a whiff of this.
This IKF has made our life hell.
First, the President's Palace bombing.
Back then, Karachi Oil refinery, and last year, it was the plane hijacking.
And now, we heard
that they've stolen parts of the nuclear missile from us,
Pakistan, and Russia,
and are ready with a nuclear missile.
Sir, this is their only way of forcing India out of Kashmir.
When Kashmir's ruler, Hari Singh, decided to join India in 1947,
then why all this now?
But the Kashmiris had also been promised a vote,
a referendum to decide whether they wanted to stay
a part of India or Pakistan or whether to be independent.
All these years later, they are still to get that referendum.
What referendum are you talking about?
When half of Kashmir is occupied by Pakistan,
how is that possible?
A referendum needs to include all of Kashmir.
Why should it include only half?
Mr. Rawat, this is not an India-Pakistan issue anymore.
IKF wants both India and Pakistan to leave Kashmir.
They want a separate country, an independent Kashmir.
I know the history of India, Pakistan, and Kashmir.
Tell me about this bomb, Mrs. Tyagi.
How powerful is this bomb, and how dangerous is it to us?
In the last few years,
in Mumbai, Oklahoma City, New York, Bali, Madrid, and London,
over 15,000 people have been killed in a blast.
And losses have run into billions.
But if they use this bomb,
five million people can die.
An entire city can be destroyed.
That city can also be our capital, New Delhi.
We must stop this bomb, whatever it takes.
But, sir, this bomb is useless to them.
What do you mean?
Every nuclear missile needs a special trigger.
If they don't have that, they can't use the bomb.
Only until they get the trigger, only until then.
Sir, there's nothing to worry about.
Outside Delhi, we have six triggers
at various military bases around the country.
In Rajasthan, Kutch, Darjeeling, Amritsar, Leh, and Kashmir.
They are safe there.
I want all the triggers brought to Delhi.
In the next 12 hours, they will all be here, sir.
Get me speaking to the Defense Minister of Pakistan,
I want to share the information with him.
Just as we are taking steps to secure the triggers,
IKF's mastermind would be taking steps to steal them.
Captain Ranjith!
Captain Ranjith, run!
Major Suraj, there's a radio message for you, sir!
My unit has succeeded in all of its missions, sir.
And I will bring this trigger to you myself.
Be alert. IKF will be keeping an eye on you.
If the weather favors us, the trigger will be with you
-in three hours, sir. -Goodbye.
Over and out, goodbye.
Captain Ranjeev,
this is the day every soldier lives for.
The last time you saved me from the IKF.
Today, we both must save the country together.
I am always ready to kill or get killed for the country, sir.
Good news!
The trigger will be with us soon.
May God bless Rehan!
Say everyone.
-God is great! -God is great!
Captain Ranjeev.
I am fine. How are you?
She is going to save the country.
I know you wanted custard, not rice pudding.
But Grandma has made rice pudding with so much love, so, please have it.
What have you brought? Rice pudding or custard?
We've checked the list of officers coming from Kashmir.
How can it be not? I have handpicked these officers.
The best of Indian Army's elite officers were chosen to form this unit.
Okay, so that's where he is.
Who?
The wife of Captain Ranjeev, an ace officer of Jaat Regiment,
had reported that she hasn't been in touch with her husband for last two months.
She wanted to know if he was on a secret mission or not.
After all, she's a wife.
She must be nagging him with pudding or custard.
He got annoyed and stopped calling her.
He hasn't called his wife for two months?
Just find out if his last mission had something to do with the IKF.
Major Suraj's regiment was attacked by the IKF.
At the last moment, Captain Ranjeev's regiment got there and saved them.
All the soldiers of Jaat Regiment were killed in this encounter,
but he survived.
That's him.
We have to stop him.
She's the one who stole my heart
She's the one who I long for
Looks like the base is trying to reach us, but the radio signal is too weak.
Her cinched waist attracts me towards her
Her glittery accessories call for me
-Her voice is as sweet as honey -Hey
It's amazing, isn't it? Such a small thing can take so many lives.
Our lives too, while defending it.
We aren't scared of death.
But to kill for your country thrills us more, sir.
You want to kill people? Make them eat your wife's cooking.
Santosh?
-Santosh? -Santosh!
Santosh!
Ajay!
Navjoth!
Captain Ranjeev!
You are dying as a brave soldier.
He, who dies on the battlefield, goes to heaven.
God keep you safe, my friend.
Grandfather, I am not empty-handed.
Praise be to God!
You don't have just any trigger there with you.
It is our decade-long dream we have sacrificed so much for.
You must get that trigger to us at any cost.
With utmost safety.
Kill them, or be killed.
Yes, Grandfather.
I will meet you in three hours at Shikara 1 pickup point.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
That was not an accident, Akash. I was right. He was in the helicopter.
Jam all the connectivity in that area.
Mobile phones, satellite phones, internet, everything.
I want a communication blackout.
We can't jam radio signals. We have military operations in that area.
If you can't jam them, you can at least monitor them, can't you?
Search the entire area.
How far is the road unit?
No! He's still alive.
No matter how many bodies you saw, how many commandos were there.
Rehan will reach the pickup point for sure.
I have not given him the permission to die.
He cannot die.
Rehan!
Rehan, call Grandpa quickly!
-Dad! -Grandfather!
Hand me the scissors, please.
Who is this, Mom?
Rehan, I don't know. Please go and sit over there.
Is he also dead like Grandma?
Quiet! Little monkey.
His pulse is quite weak. Try the phone. Is it working now?
No, Dad. It's still dead.
We've done the best we could. I'm no doctor.
What can we do?
You can't go and get a doctor in this weather.
Not 50 kilometers in this storm. No way.
Mom! Please leave Rehan.
-Rehan! -Mommy!
It's nothing, darling. Nothing.
Now it's up to you, young man.
We can only pray, if you have some reason to live.
It can be two days? It can be two weeks?
How can you not know when the storm will pass?
I want an update every hour, you hear?
Can't you do anything right?
Until I don't see his body,
I can't believe he's dead.
Don't do that, Rehan. What are you up to?
There is no heartbeat.
Rehan wants to hear his heartbeat, like he hears Grandpa's.
The heart is not here, it's there.
Forgive me, Zooni.
I have no choice.
Zooni...
Do you know the cricketer, Rahul Dravid?
Rahul Dravid is Rehan's father.
Because Rehan's father is dead, you see.
So, Mom said Rehan can choose anyone as his father.
So, Rehan chose Rahul Dravid.
Are you Mr. "Dependiddle" like Rahul Dravid?
Can you also be completely trusted like Rahul Dravid?
It is broken and in the outhouse.
Look, look the dead man is awake.
-The dead man is awake. -Rehan, don't talk like that.
When the weather is better, we will get it fixed.
Before you thank me, come and eat something.
Don't drink so much, you will become a "hittototomas."
Not "hittototomas," kid. It's hippopotamus.
And where did you learn this word?
From Colonel. "Hitto... hittototomas."
Hippopotamus.
Would you like something? I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.
Captain Ranjeev.
Indian Army.
I didn't know there were military operations here.
There are very few of us here. What will the militants do here?
They can hide.
Rehan!
The dead man stinks. So, I thought...
Strange, when Zooni couldn't see, she didn't bang into a thing.
And now that she can see, she's constantly walking into things.
Thank you for saving me.
You were lucky, so, you survived. What did I do?
Is it just the three of you here?
Zooni's mother, Nafisa, died a couple of years ago.
And left me all alone.
And before that, her husband died in a bomb blast in Delhi.
I don't know why, but Zooni blames herself for his death.
When will this storm end?
I must leave from here.
It's hard to say.
It might stop tomorrow or maybe after a week.
Don't think of leaving in this weather though.
Certainly not in your state.
Rest for a while. You are our guest.
Ranjeev, cheers!
-Come on, it's your turn to sing. -I can't sing.
You keep teaching me things. So boring. Tell Rehan a story.
Dispenser of India's destiny.
You're not a good mother. You never tell Rehan stories.
I don't know any stories.
Bad Mommy.
Not me. You. You're a bad boy. Go. I'm not talking to you.
Rehan loves you more than you love Rehan.
But, Mom, Rehan already knows the national anthem.
Let me hear.
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all the people
Dravid, Orissa, and Bengal
You and your Dravid fixation.
Dravid, Orissa, and Bengal
Do you know the National Anthem?
No.
See, even the dead man doesn't know the National Anthem.
Please tell, Mom, not to teach Rehan.
The phone is dead. Tell her not to teach Rehan.
What's this?
Which soldier doesn't know the National Anthem?
Why are you lying to the child?
I am not here to teach him the National Anthem,
and I'm not here to play with him.
I don't care if I lied to him.
I'm a soldier on a mission, not his father!
Rehan, come here immediately!
If you don't eat vegetables how will you slay the dragon?
Captain Ranjeev, come and join us.
Tell us about your life.
I've heard soldiers have fascinating stories to tell.
I'm not hungry thank you. I will just go to bed.
Your bed has been made upstairs, in the room on the left.
Dead man made Mom cry.
Rehan, have your meal.
What's this?
Mom has sent it for you.
So you will get better faster, so you can leave faster.
-But what is it? -Poison.
Milk with turmeric.
And don't try and throw it in the latrine, it stinks it up and Mom finds out.
Don't throw it out either, the snow gets yellow.
And in the wash basin, the color stains it, you will get caught.
And yes!
If you find some other way, please tell Rehan.
Next time, Rehan will do the same.
It really is poison.
If I wish, I was a roll of wool, wrapped around her fingers.
Thank you.
What?
Yesterday, I was very rude.
Actually, I'm not very good with children.
I am not very good with words either.
But I have a way with hammers, give it to me.
Not everything can be done alone.
Rehan doesn't have a father.
So, he sometimes...
He won't trouble you again.
He's a good kid.
So have you forgiven me then?
The thing is, I spend so much time alone,
that I don't know how to behave with company anymore.
Like this one time, I went to my friend, Mihir Wohra's house
and I asked his wife how she likes being wife number two.
Turns out she was wife number one
and had no idea there was a wife number two.
After this, I decided I would stick to safe topics.
So, I asked my Colonel how his son was doing at school?
Now that's safe, right?
Wrong.
Just that day, his son had been thrown out of school
for biting his teacher's bum.
And not just that.
When he was sent back to apologize the following day,
he ended up biting her other bum.
Close your eyes.
Rehan doesn't want to wash his hair. Rehan will not wash his hair.
You have to wash your hair or you will get very big insects in it.
Let them come.
Rehan will take the insects for a walk every day.
May I help?
Give it a try.
I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to him.
He's such a sweet kid.
Why are you bothering him?
But he has to wash his hair.
He will wash it when he feels like it.
Rehan! Look up.
You were right.
Everything can't be done alone.
Rehan!
Dead man is very funny.
Don't call him dead man, son.
Rehan likes the dead man.
Can I help you?
I'm fine. Thanks.
Everything can't be done alone.
You told us some good stories today.
Why have you stopped telling stories?
Mr. Zulfi talks a lot after a couple of drinks.
Earlier, I couldn't see.
Now, I've seen too much to believe in stories.
Your family must be worried. You've been missing for long.
I never met my parents.
They died when I was three.
I'm sorry, you're so lonely.
Not at all. Why do you say that?
Your smile doesn't reach your eyes.
A soldier's life is like that.
There must be someone else hidden behind that soldier.
Perhaps,
but, I don't think I really understand him.
Sometimes, to understand yourself,
you need to see yourself from someone else's eyes.
I could never get that close to anyone.
Why?
You couldn't trust anyone?
I don't trust myself.
And then every time, a new mission, a new city.
I couldn't be in any one place for too long.
Sometimes, you seem very familiar.

Rehan will not call him a dead man anymore.
You're my good son.
Can Rehan call him "Dad"?
Close your eyes.
So, tell me, Captain Ranjeev.
Have you ever loved in your life?
Loved someone so deeply that her smile made you breathless?
I...
I loved my Nafisa like that. She was...
heavenly!
Dad, you've started again.
I've told you not to drink in front of Mom's photo.
"Let me drink on the Mosque ground
or show me a place where god isn't."
Fantastic!
-In this life without you, I have no... -Complaint.
Complaint
No complaint
I have no complaints
Enough, Dad, let's go.
What are you doing? We're having such a nice time.
Let's go, Dad.
Let me finish this drink.
In this life without you I don't feel lively
I wish I could hide my head
Under your veil
And cry and cry
Are you sure your eyes themselves
Don't lack in tears, are dry, just dry
The letter H.
-H? -Yeah, H?
How do you do, dear one?
How do you think, dear one?
I'm just happy oh, ho, ho
So, you've slipped then aa, ha, ha
H?
What if I let my heart live in your eyes?
What if I close my eyes And punish your heart?
What can I say in praise
Of the one who made you?
These nights, this clime, this river side
This playful breeze
Time has given us such beautiful pain
Neither do you seem like yourself Nor am I like myself at all
The time does
Our hearts tremble now as they meet
Like they were never apart for even a beat
But you got lost
And so did I
In those impatient times
Now you're scared.
Who are you?
How do you know all this?
You can't know these things.
What's happening to me?
I hear him in your voice.
Every breath you take brings me close to you.
Zooni.
It's me.
Rehan.
Your Rehan.
I could never forgive myself for what I did to you.
I promised myself that I would stay away from you.
I didn't want to cause you more pain.
Perhaps, it was destiny for me to come at your doorstep in that condition.
But you kept me alive.
And now, I want to live.
I want to live for you, for our son.
Rehan?
You are Rehan?
My real name is Rehan Qadri.
Kashmiri?
Yes.
Go on.
When I met Zooni, I was on a mission.
And that's why you fell in love with my daughter?
Promised her marriage? Was that all a part of your mission?
That was my weakness.
I was not free to love.
I am deeply sorry and ashamed about my selfish love.
And you've come back to repeat that mistake?
My mission is not complete yet. After this storm, it will be.
Then, I will stay with Zooni for the rest of my life.
Mission! What is this great mission,
because of which you're playing with all of our lives?
I can't say that.
What?
I know my silence can go against me.
But I do not want to lie and I cannot tell you the truth.
All I can say in my defense is that my love is true.
I have given you a lot of pain. Still, I am asking you to fill my wounds.
I know I'm not worthy of your forgiveness.
But still, I stand before you
with the hope that you will forgive me.
I would not have left my Nafisa for anything.
God came in the way. Otherwise, I would've still been with her.
There is no reason to believe him, but there is also no reason not to.
It was your decision then, Zooni. And it's your decision now, too.
Seven years!
For seven years, I have lived with the guilt
that I was the reason for your death.
Every day, I curse myself for sending you there.
Do you know what it was like to live with that?
Look at this!
When you were off being a great soldier,
this is how I spent my life.
I was taking parts of all these faces, trying to make your face.
So that I could have something to cry in front of,
something to show my son.
To tell him, "This is your father."
And now, you say all those tears, all that pain,
was for nothing?
No!
Why should I open myself to pain again? Why should I take you back?
Give me one good reason, Rehan,
why I shouldn't believe you are still dead.
Give me one good reason.
I don't have a single good reason.
They are all bad,
each and every one.
I was taking parts of all these faces, trying to make your face.
Why are you leaving?
Because I can't play cricket like Rahul Dravid.
Don't worry. Rehan will teach you.
I am not "dependiddle" either. I can't be trusted.
No, you are dependable for Rehan.
See, Rehan has learned how to say "dependable."
Rehan will never trouble you again.
He won't call you dead man. He will have a bath himself.
He will not give you milk and turmeric, but please don't go.
Rehan loves you more than you love Rehan.
Sit properly!
Eat your food.
Why are you venting your anger on him?
The one who deserves it has left without saying a word.
He must be in his room.
Go tell him that breakfast is ready.
I'm not going to stand around in the kitchen all day for him.
He's gone. He said goodbye to Rehan. Not to you.
No.
He can't go.
Rehan!
How dare you leave me again?
Your life is mine now, do you hear?
You can never leave me and go.
Never!
Dad!
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
When you're close this world is naught
Destroyed in your love a triumph sought
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
When you're close this world is naught
Destroyed in your love a triumph sought
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
"May my life's breath find refuge in your heart.
Destroyed in your love, may my life depart."
As close as fragrances are to breath
As close as songs are to lips
As close as sleepless nights to memories
As close as arms are to embraces
As close as dreams to eyes
Be that close to me, love of mine
When you're close this world is naught
Destroyed in your love a triumph sought
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
Let my eyes swell with tears, let me cry today.
Take me in your arms, get drenched today.
The sea of pain trapped in my heart will explode.
I have so much pain, your veil will be drenched.
As close as secrets are to heartbeats
As close as raindrops are to clouds
As close as the moon is to night
As close as kohl is to eyes
As close as waves to the ocean
Be that close to me, love of mine
When you're close this world is naught
Destroyed in your love a triumph sought
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me the heavens divine
My breath was incomplete, heartbeat incomplete, incomplete were we.
But now the moon is full, complete in the sky.
And now, we are complete.
Ma'am!
Give us some good news, Aakash. Can we go any further?
We'll have to wait another two or three days.
But we have to do something, Aakash. We can't just stand around.
No, not the press.
We can't talk to the media about the bomb yet.
The order's come directly from Delhi.
We can't talk about the bomb, but we can talk about him.
Aakash, inform the press. Newspaper, Radio, TV.
The search is on for a terrorist hiding in the outskirts of Srinagar.
This terrorist is badly wounded and is wearing an Indian Army uniform.
He is also carrying an electronic part.
If you have any information on this man,
please contact your nearest police station immediately.
Come on, Rehan, drink your milk.
Rehan loves you more than you love Rehan.
No, I love Rehan much more than that,
and you have to drink this milk.
And what about this Rehan?
At this time?
Colonel? At this time? What's the matter?
I have risked my life and came here for a very important reason.
What? Come inside.
I've run out of rum!
Destiny plays weird games with us.
And if one is in the army their destiny is not in their hands anyway.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Rehan, if you like, you can come to my house and radio your unit.
You have a radio transmitter?
Meet the man who lives in the middle of nowhere
and keeps a radio to keep in touch with people.
Always wonder why he lives out here.
It's late today. It will be dark by the time you return.
It's dark already.
Okay, so it's night already. Come tomorrow.
The weather should be clearer as well. Come and radio your unit then.
There's no need for that.
Why not?
He has just returned after seven years.
I don't want him to disappear for another seven.
You are trying to guard a soldier is it?
Rehan, do you want me to radio them?
No, I will have to do it myself.
Let him give his status report
then you can keep him imprisoned here forever, right Rehan?
Fine, now no more discussion. What do they say in Punjabi?
-Let's have a whopper of a drink. -Let's have a whopper of a drink.
Where's your father?
He was supposed to take me to the Colonels' house for the radio.
Do you really have to go?
Just this last bit of work.
Dad takes a while to get ready. He will be down soon.
-Dad! -Rehan!
Once upon a time, there was a prince, and a princess who was blind.
Mom, you are telling a story?
One day the princess met an ordinary man
who followed different monuments in different cities.
But the princess saw the prince hidden in that ordinary man.
What was the prince's name?
Rehan.
The prince saved the princess from a huge, scary dragon.
The dragon had a big, red face.
Every time he opened his mouth,
gigantic balls of fire would come out of it.
What was the dragon's name?
Name...
Grandpa!
Come on, Rehan.
Let's go to the Colonel's house and radio your unit.
The search is on for a terrorist hiding in the outskirts of Srinagar.
This terrorist is wearing an Indian Army uniform.
He is also carrying an electronic part.
Grandpa!
Rehan loves you very much.
I will have to go for a couple of days to hand in my resignation.
Whether or not you're on this mission, the IKF will definitely lose.
Terrorists can never win.
These people are not terrorists. They are fighting for their independence.
And who will run this country of theirs?
-The IKF? -No.
Whoever the people of Kashmir elect in fair elections.
It seems you're not against the IKF, you're for them.
You are a traitor. You may be my daughter's husband,
but I will gladly kill you.
I was doubtful when I saw the news, but by then, it was too late.
I had my doubts.
Today, I was certain when I found this trigger in your pocket.
You can't do anything now.
I am going to radio the military and hand you over.
Colonel!
Come outside.
-Please sir, give me that trigger. -No.
All this will be over in a couple of days.
Then, I can stay with Zooni and Rehan forever.
I would rather wish they be dead. I will never give you this. Never.
No!
Don't you dare, Rehan!
No!
Shalimar 1, target is coming.
Hello! Shalimar 1, we read you. Come in. Hello...
My son, Rehan!
God be praised a million times.
You're alive!
Do you have what I want?
Yes, I have it with me.
What's the matter?
I'm tired that's all.
I just want all this to end.
Look here...
I know what I have to do.
Come here and take what it is you want.
The coordinates here are loc rep 34,74.
Mount 2,730, 500 house.
That was him.
Thank God he hasn't reached his people yet.
There is very heavy fog right now.
We will try and be there tomorrow morning. God be with you.
Sorry, ma'am, he gave his location in code.
We will need some time to break it.
Give Ranade the code to break.
-Keep the ground search going. -Yes, sir.
And continue monitoring the frequency he called from.
We only have until tomorrow morning. Contact the base camp.
Are they ready with the sketch of the imposter of Captain Ranjeev?
Dad!
Someone help us, please!
Dad!
Mom, what's happened?
Dad!
Mom, what happened?
Nothing, go watch some TV.
Rehan. Dad...
I've just left him at Colonel's. They're both drinking rum.
He said he will stay there tonight.
The search is on for a terrorist hiding in the outskirts of Srinagar.
This terrorist is badly wounded and is wearing an Indian Army uniform.
He went missing eight days ago.
He is also carrying an electronic part.
This is a sketch of him provided by the army.
If you see this man anywhere, please don't try and catch him yourself.
He is armed and dangerous.
Please contact your nearest police station immediately.
Or call this number.
Colonel!
Hello! Can someone hear me?
Ma'am, someone is sending an SOS from the same frequency.
-Hello, can someone hear me? -Hello!
Hello, yes, we can hear you.
I am Malini Tyagi from the Anti-Terrorist Special Force.
Who is this?
I am Zooni Ali Beg speaking.
My husband, I thought he was dead.
But he came back nine days ago.
I think he's the one you are looking for.
He might have killed my father and my uncle, or maybe not.
I don't know. I don't know anything.
Just please help us.
I am alone. It's just me and my son.
And listen to me carefully.
Does your husband have some sort of an electronic part?
Yes, hello!
I saw it on TV.
And now it's with me.
It's him.
Your husband is the one we are looking for.
He is the terrorist.
Listen to me carefully, Zooni.
I am going to tell you the most important thing you will ever hear.
If he leaves with that trigger, if he joins his comrades they will use
a nuclear bomb over our country.
Millions of Indians will die.
One of them can be my daughter. Another can be your son.
There will be complete destruction.
And the only one who can stop it, Zooni, is you!
But, he is my husband.
Tell me you will help us, Zooni.
Tell me you will stop him, whatever it takes.
Yes.
We have your location now, Zooni.
We know where you are, we will be there tomorrow morning.
Okay?
Zooni.
Who are you running away from?
From me?
From your Rehan?
I have only one Rehan.
My son.
Dad, what happened?
Nothing, son. Everything is fine.
Go to sleep.
What's the point? You will kill him as well.
I would rather die first.
You killed Dad quite easily.
I didn't kill him.
It was an accident.
And Colonel?
Give me the trigger, Zooni.
-No. -Zooni!
Give me that trigger.
What will you do? Kill me as well? Kill me.
I've already died once because of you. Why not once again?
Zooni, despite all my lies,
despite all the pain I have given you,
do you believe that I love you?
Then for the sake of that love,
you have to do what I say.
If I don't give them this trigger today,
then they will torture and kill Rehan right in front of us.
Then they will kill you in front of me.
Then if they have any mercy, then they will kill me, too.
And the person to do all this will be no stranger.
My own grandfather will destroy his family with his own hands.
I don't care about myself, Zooni.
But I am not willing to sacrifice Rehan or you.
This is the only way...
we will be able to live our lives in peace again.
And what about the lives of those millions that will die from the bomb?
No one will use the bomb. It's just a threat.
The governments of India and Pakistan will have no other choice, but to give in.
After all your lies, how can I believe you now?
Grandfather.
Or the Indian Army whom I called.
No.
Grandfather.
You can't leave.
Take care of Rehan and yourself.
I will be back tomorrow.
Rehan! Please, for our son's sake.
Rehan!
Why, Rehan? Why?
Rehan loves you more than you love Rehan.
Don't say that.
Please don't.
Now I'm not scared.
Rehan.
Rehan!
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me heaven's divine
When I have your hands in mine
I have with me heaven's divine
When you're close, this world is naught
Destroyed in your love, a triumph sought
It's very easy to choose between right and wrong.
But to choose the better of two goods,
or the lesser of two evils,
these choices decide our lives.
Rehan loves you a lot.
And Zooni loves Rehan a lot.
