Waheeda, stop

Waheeda, stop there

You will fall down, Waheeda

Brother?

Waheeda!

Hey Rasool...

you are being called inside

- Why did you go over there? - Here comes Rasool

He was asking about you

Sir is waiting for you

Come, Rasool

Today, you will cross the border

God willing, you will go to Kashmir

Kashmir? But why?

Operation Gibraltar

Aslaam Alaikum Janab!

Walaikum Aslaam!

Ashraf Salim

8AK-Infantry Battalion

8AK?

- Who are these people? - They are Mujahideens, sir

Why are they with you?

Preparing for Operation Gibraltar, sir

Operation Gibraltar?

What is that?

The Pakistan Army and Mujahideen are planning a mission to conquer Kashmir

We are preparing for the same, sir

What?

What do you mean by that?

It means, Rasool...

In Kashmir...

those reading the Qur'an and the Bhagavad Gita are living amicably

Just because of the Indian Army

Kashmiri Muslims are pinning high hopes on the Indian Army these days

We must break their hope

But how?

And who will help us?

The Indian Army themselves!

Soon we will create riots in Kashmir

- Say God is Great - God is Great

Say God is Great

God is Great

This is wrong

The army will not work with terrorists

I didn't have any information about this I need to seize that vehicle

- Hello - Good morning, sir

Major Tariq

- There's a problem - I know, Tariq

It is your duty to ensure that they reach their destination safely

- But I don't have any order - It's an order now, Tariq

- Keep it off the record - Yes sir

Aslaam Alaikum Janab!

Walaikum Aslaam!

Major Tariq!

I'm preparing the pitch to play cricket with the Indian Army

Play well and make sure you win

Kashmir

Do you know what to do once you reach Kashmir?

We should live like local Kashmiris

And...

No one should know that we are Mujahideens

- Please take care of Waheeda - Goodbye

These kids are hardly 18 years of age

They are minors

They are sparks

They will turn into a raging fire in Kashmir

The entire valley will go under that fire

A riot broke out last night between Indian and Pakistani students

leading to the desecration of the National Flag of Pakistan

further escalating the situation and enraging Pakistani students

Over to our correspondent

who has the Pakistani Youth President in London with her

Hi, I am here with Pakistani Youth President, Ms Afreen

Ms Afreen, what do you think of the present situation?

We are not at all happy with how this is being portrayed in the media

How do Indians always find the Pakistan flag to disagreed?

This is not an innocent act We know there's a foul play behind this

We will show them who we are

Will show them

We'll teach them a lesson by tomorrow

One bottle of whisky, please

Which one?

The one that burns

[English song]

Hail, Pakistan!

[English song]

Where is Afreen?

Does she have any idea who is waiting here?

Anand Mehta

The car you set ablaze yesterday was his

He sponsors countless underprivileged students

The Dean's spoken to him

Just say you are sorry

Do you know who he is?

Hello!

I am Anand Mehta

Afreen

Afreen

Why does a young lady like you...

nurture so much anger and hatred?

Simple

To find a solution

There is only one solution for your rage, Your hatred and your violence

And that is love

Oho!

So are you the man who shows the other cheek when slapped on one?

Like your man, Gandhi?

Afreen!

Behave yourself

Mr Anand! I am so sorry

Not you, Dean

I want her to apologise

That's not going to happen, Dean

Impossible

- Do we have any other option? - Enough!

You are rusticated from this campus immediately

No, Dean

I don't want to ruin a student's future

Afreen...

Saying sorry is the solution to every problem in this world

But nobody is ready to do that

Whenever one starts saying sorry...

the world will come to know what it actually means

Now coming to the option before you

One million in one month

As damages to my car

Or else...

you will stay out of college and land in jail

And I'll make sure that...

everyone who supported you ends up in jail

Well...

You will have a new car in a month's time

It's been two years since you spoke to your grandfather

Do you think he will give you 10 lakhs?

Afreen, a sorry will save you 10 lakhs

One million!

Please think again

I would rather say sorry to my grandfather

Never to an Indian

I called you over 150 times in the last one month

But you didn't even want to talk

If you had called back...

you would have known that your grandfather Brigadier Abu Tariq is no more

How did this happen?

Perhaps, worrying about you

Now don't make me the villain

I didn't want to go to London

He was sure that if you stayed here your life will be ruined

What were the odds that I would get any better if I went there?

Is it a crime to be patriotic?

Not at all

Being patriotic is not a crime

But it's wrong to hate other countries

What do you want now?

I need 10 lakhs rupees urgently

Give it to me and I'll be off

Listen, uncle

I've no time to indulge you

He was my grandfather

He must have set aside something for me

Dear Afreen...

By the time you read this letter I will be gone forever

This letter will be my last words to you

When I sent you away to London against your wishes...

you didn't even say goodbye to me

I laughed so much at you that day

And perhaps you decided that you will make me pay for it

Yes, I've suffered till date

But not because of you

My suffering is my own making

I made a promise to Lieutenant Ram 20 years ago

But I couldn't fulfill it

I want you to hand this letter over to Sita Mahalakshmi

She has been eagerly waiting for this letter for many years now

You must do this for me

My last wish

It was an enemy that ceded this battle to a soldier, Afreen

You must help Sita and Ram to win this battle

What is this?

Did he leave behind a postmaster's job for me?

Since when did two enemy soldiers become friends?

This is so stupid

Uncle, you please give me the money I asked for

I'll take this letter to its destination

Sorry

Until this letter finds its way to its recipient...

don't give her a single penny from my assets

Your grandfather told me this

You aren't doing your grandfather a favour

It's a duty that you are obliged to fulfil, Afreen

Sita... Ramam

'Sita Ramam!' [Lieutenant Ram's Love story]

This is Captain Akram reporting

Hope you are enjoying the flight so far

AI 372 has just entered into Indian air space

We will be landing soon

Taxi! Taxi!

Where to, madam?

- Noorjahan Palace - Okay

In 1966, Princess Noorjahan donated this palace to the government

for the higher education of underprivileged girls

If you want to know more about this palace...

please meet the college trustee Mr Subramanyam

He was an accountant in the palace back then

I don't know what to do

I am clueless

One of our seniors named Balaji lives in Hyderabad

He'll help you out there

Ram... Sita...

Balaji

This is all I hear these days Don't you know anyone among us?

What you need now is someone who can help you

- Try to understand that - Do whatever you want

- How much? - Two rupees

Namaste, Junior!

Balaji!

Don't you remember me?

Welcome to India

I heard you need some help

Don't worry

Balaji will take care of everything

So tell me what brings you here

This letter has to be delivered

Is that why you are here?

Just put it in a postbox and it will do its thing

Turn it over

Oh! Return stamps

Two times

So it came back just as it had left

Twenty years!

You flew on a plane in 1985 to deliver a letter written in 1965

Who wrote this antique piece?

Ram

Who is Ram?

I don't know who he is

Alright

Who is Sita?

Don't know that either

Awesome!

Do you at least know what's in this letter?

No idea

So I came to help you deliver this 20 year old letter

leaving my wedding plans midway

Can you tell me who's crazy here?

Anand Mehta is the real crazy

Now who is he?

It's a long story, Balaji

Let's talk as we go

My bad luck!

Your grandfather left you a letter when he left

Only if you give this letter to Sita...

will the lawyer give the certificate of assets to you

Wow junior!

I was sure you didn't come all this way for nothing

We are at Subramanyam's address now

Sitamahalakshmi!

There was no one by that name in the palace

Sir, please try to remember

What happened, sir?

You asked me to try and remember

Sir, she flew down from a different country to find this woman

Even she came from a different planet my answer will be the same

- Sir, I meant... - What? Just keep quiet

Look dear, I have been working in that palace for 40 years

More than 400 people worked there

More than 400?

Then you must have missed Sita Lakshmi among them

Mind your language

It's important

I managed the payroll back then

The Palace had around 30 Hindus working there

- So Sita Mahalakshmi... - You won't find her

Why?

Because there has never been anyone...

named Sita Mahalakshmi in the past, present or future

An astrologer can tell the past and future

I'll kill you, fool...

and dump you in the palace lake Get out!

Me?

- Of course, you - Beautiful language!

Hey Ganapathi

Keep quiet!

Take them to the storeroom before I kill this guy

Sitamahalakshmi

There is no one called Sita in this

Hello?

- Afreen, how are you? - Not good

It's not a palace anymore but a college

No one called Sita Mahalakshmi worked in that palace

Do you get it?

That's why the letter came back so many times

Afreen, that's not my problem

Instead of telling you the truth...

I could have dropped the letter into a bin and lied to you

You would have believed me

You have made mistakes, Afreen but you are not a bad person

You can deceive me

But remember one thing

Your grandfather's victory is in your hands

So good luck

You may find a solution to your problem if you open this letter

My grandfather could have done it too

But he chose not to because he had promised Ram

- Where can this Sita be? - We may have to ask Ram

No one knew Sita back in 1965 Then how would anyone from 1985 know her?

Your time travel has ended even before it began

No, it has just begun

How is that?

- You said it yourself - Me?

To ask Ram

If we want to know who Sita is we must find out who Ram is

We can easily find Sita if we know who Ram is

He isn't Lord Ram of Ayodhya that people recognise him instantly

He was just Lieutenant Ram

Exactly Lieutenant Ram

- Madras regiment - So?

- Service year 1965 - So what?

This is enough to trace him

But how?

Balaji will take care of everything

You can't just walk in and ask questions

You are not at a railway information desk

This is Indian Army

And why come all the way from London to learn about Ram?

I am writing a book

A small research work

Oh! There is a library downstairs

It is open to civilians on Monday

Any luck?

No, sir

Keep trying

You might find something

Balaji!! Look here!

- It's a checkmate - Excuse me, sir

- Excuse me, sir - Yes

This is Ram

No, I don't know him

But I know this guy, Vikas

He should definitely know Ram

Would you have his address?

Be careful

It's for the door frame

Vikas sir?

I'm here to talk about Lieutenant Ram

What?

I came to talk about Lieutenant Ram

Lieutenant Ram

I'll have to call you back... yeah!

- Jai Hind, sir - At ease

Tell me...

What's the situation with 312?

They ran out of provisions 4 days ago, sir

I spoke to Commanding Officer Vishnu Sharma

It has been snowing for the last 15 days, sir

All the routes are blocked

It will take 2 more days to identify an approach road

Hmm! Okay

Jai Hind, sir

Ranjith, some hot water please

Sir, I can get it today but I don't know about tomorrow

We are running out of kerosene

Sir!

Snowfall has decreased

Naveen!

Connect me to Lieutenant Ram

Tiger in... tiger in

Charlie come in... Charlie come in

Give me your exact location

Charlie reporting, sir

500 meters north east from base

Can you see any of our men coming?

No, sir Negative

Nobody is showing up

And here we are dying of hunger

Tiger come in... tiger come in...

Tiger in

Sir, there's a movement

What?

Move forward... move forward

What exactly do you see?

Five civilians... four mules

Terrorists?

There's a possibility, sir

Tiger come in... tiger come in...

We are coming

They are not Mujahideens, sir

How can you confirm that?

The mules have a fabric tied to their legs

That's a Butapathri tradition, sir

They do that after offering prayers in the shrine

What if they are carrying weapons?

No sir, trust me

They are Kashmiri Muslims

What if they start firing at us?

I can't risk my soldiers' lives

Fire!

Fire!

Run! Run!

Run faster!

Cease fire

Come out

Move

Sir!

Ram was right

These are Kashmiri Muslims

It's been snowing for the last 15 days

We thought you wouldn't have food

So we got some food for you

Sorry, sir

I couldn't aim properly

Bad weather

I need a written explanation by 9 am tomorrow, Ram

Guns down!

Our apologies, brother We misunderstood you

Misunderstandings happen, sir

Please have some food

Vishnu sir has a problem with you

Jealous

No matter what your explanation is you will face disciplinary action

That's sure

When I apologised for my mistake...

he offered me food with a smile

Such a kind-hearted man!

I can't kill innocent people

If I do, I'll regret it for the rest of my life

I'd rather accept this punishment

I don't care

But why do you think Vishnu sir has a problem with me?

Then why does he act like this?

I don't know

Sir!

There's a message from Kashmir

Our kids have been living among Kashmiris for the past 6 months

They got ration cards too, sir

They have become true Kashmiris now

Praise the lord

Akram, deliver this picture and news to Jameel

What news?

That those 4 boys are ours, not Kashmiris

Tell him to inform the Indian Army about it

We will take care of the rest from here

God's willing

God will protect us

Greetings, sir

Please tell Major Selvan sir that Jameel is here

I got some information

Jai Hind Sir!

Greetings sir

Any special news, Jameel?

It is a very important news sir

Ansari...

Why this sudden meeting, sir? Anything urgent?

Gentlemen! We have something really important to discuss

Please take your seats

What happened, sir?

Four Mujahideen terrorists have infiltrated into Kashmir

They are living in Kashmir as locals

And this is over the past six months

Sir, they are all minors

Between 18 and 21 years

Sorry for asking, but is this information correct?

Who is the informer, sir?

Jameel

He never goes wrong, Ram

We have no idea about their plans

But we know what we have to do

Vishnu, I need to get some of your best men

Spread them into four teams and clean up

- Sir! - Who are your best men?

Arjun, Veeru, Ranjit Vayu, Sharat, Gurvinder

Thank you

Alright Good luck

Sir!

Vishnu!

Fix this right

While I fix this goddamn bulb

He is named after Lord Vishnu but his actions speak otherwise

Vishnu Sharma indeed!

This is the location

Where is Abbas?

What do you want?

Hey, Iqbal!

Sir, it's him

Stop there

Hey, stop

Stop

Stop right there

'Army kills Muslim boys Indian army faces stone pelting'

'Army kills Muslim boys Indian army faces stone pelting'

Hey, stop!

'Army kills Muslim boys Indian army faces stone pelting'

These army men killed our kids!

- Kill them! - Kill them all!

This is what Ansari wanted

That's why he sent those minors across the border

Then he deliberately leaked the information to us and fooled us

But what did they gain out of it?

We have to find informer Jameel to know why

'In Kashmir, Indian army kills 4 innocent Muslim boys'

Find out about Jameel

How are you, uncle?

Two tea, please

Do you know any Jameel here?

We don't have information or tea for the Indian Army information here

- What are you saying? - Go away from here

Or you might be pelted with stones too Now leave!

What happened to these people?

All the streets are empty, sir

Not a soul here

And Jameel is nowhere to be found

It's looking like a curfew Can't see anyone on the streets

Something big is happening

How much do we suffer?

How much more do we tolerate?

Our women are being insulted

Whose Kashmir is it?

It belongs to us Muslims

It doesn't belong to those Hindus

The Indian Army worked with the infidels to shed our children's blood

They were brutally murdered

Before our very eyes!

Now is the time for Jihad

If you don't act now it will be the end of Islam

Do you want to see Islam dying?

Is that what you wish for?

Let us begin

Let us begin from Agarta today

Burn Agarta down to ashes

Do it before the sun sets

- Say God is Great - God is Great

- Say God is Great - God is Great

It will take at least 4 hours to reach Agarta from the troop's base

- Nanda! Inform the troupes - Okay, sir

Ansari's plan should not work in Agarta

There are so many people here

We don't know how many people will attack

Shall we inform the villagers?

No, that's dangerous

If they find out, there will be a riot

- That shouldn't happen - But we can't do anything

No one should know

- The village has to be evacuated - Without telling them the truth?

I don't know, can you think of something?

On hearing that a boy was kidnapped the villagers started chasing it

It was Ram's plan

He then shifted the elders and kids to a safe-house

Stay safe everyone

Ram's plan was not only to save the Hindus in Agarta

He wanted to save the Muslims who were being misled into taking up arms

The villagers must have come to know about us

There is no one here

Set everything on fire

Everyone is in here

What are you doing?

Hey, don't put out the fire

- Stop doing that - Hey, don't do that

We want to win this time

Whom?!

And who are you trying to defeat?

How can this be your success?

You can't win by taking other's lives

But Ansari can

I'm begging you

Those kids were Mujahideens

Trust me

Ansari's fight is not for you

It's for Kashmir

You have to blame Indian Army That's his plan

Take him inside

Burn him alive, Jameel

Jameel!

Hey, what are you doing?

You turned these good men into beasts

Tell them the truth

If you don't tell now...

They wouldn't know what had happened

- Speak, idiot - Please don't kill me

I'll tell the truth

These 5 boys must cross the border today

Nine, ten...

One thousand

Pass this information to the Indian Army

Extremely special news, sir

Ansari's plan to divide Hindus and Muslims...

- was consumed by the fire that night - I made a mistake

Please forgive me, sir

Seeing the Muslims dousing the fire the Hindus also joined them

Agarta became peaceful once again, just as we had wished

That's when I realised something

The one who takes up arms in a battle is a warrior

The one who wages a battle for Dharma is Ram

After the Agarta incident...

the entire country began to look up to soldiers as heroes

It was at that time that...

Vijayalakshmi ma'am from the All India Radio came to interview us

You protect and save the lives of our families

But you live far away from your own families

If you have something to say to your families, please do

I became the father of a baby girl

My family wrote to me that she looks exactly like me

I want to find a name for her

And whisper it three times into her ears

But sadly, I'm here

- You can name her now - Now?

Ram!

I need you here

- What is it, friend? - Sit down

I need a good name for my daughter

Can you suggest one?

Amrutha

That will do

Amrutha

Amrutha

Amrutha

Lieutenant Ram! Hero of the Battalion!

Don't you have anything to say to your family?

I have nobody, ma'am

Come here

I don't have anyone outside of these barracks

What?

I am alone soldier

A one-man army!

Ram

Coming

Lieutenant Ram

I met this man yesterday

Ram is fighting alone for our country in the Kashmir valley

Yesterday, I also learned that...

he has no family to talk to

and no one to love him

Ram is always there for our country

So it's our responsibility to tell him that we are there for him

Yesterday, I wrote a letter to my son Ram

Now it's your turn

Sir, one minute

- Sir, you have mail - Mail

Yes, lots of them

For me?

Consider I am your mother I am your brother

I am your uncle

Dearest Ram

I heard about you on the radio

What makes you think you are alone?

Don't ever say that again

You have a sister and a niece from now on

It was her birthday last week

I'm sending some doughnuts with this letter

When you come here on vacation...

I want to pierce her ears with your blessings

I hope you will come

Please send a reply to this letter

With love, your sister Radhika

Ram replied to every mail that night

Neither did he sleep nor did he allow us to

Sir!

I need two months leave, sir

Why do you need such a long leave?

I want to meet my family, sir

Okay

Are you waiting for postman Bahadur?

Yes

- Three hours late - Really?

We must court-martial this guy

Stop... stop

- Where are my letters? - Sir

Send these replies today itself

One minute

- My sister sent some doughnuts - Thank you

Dear Ram

I heard you have no one in life

So you are a good liar

Did you forget about your wife?

Wife?

Sita Mahalakshmi

You left me at home and went to war saying you will be back soon

My father had warned me not to trust an army man

He told me they don't stay at home

Too late since we are already married

Will you stop thinking about work and think about me for a change?

Yours Sita Mahalakshmi

Dear Ram

I'm sure you are doing well

Because I'm the one who misses you

My room turned quite cold when I was writing this letter

Maybe because I was thinking about you

It rained continuously last night

And it got me thinking

You are just like seasons

You never stay

Is that how you love, Ram?

When are you coming back?

Lost in your thoughts, Sita Mahalakshmi

There is no from address

Sita!

Who are you?

"Did the unseen distances come near?"

"Did the unspoken words become a verse?"

"Did time write my message from the skies?"

"On the pale-white clouds fluttering in joy?"

"Did you remember the words between the lines?"

"Did you wait for my replies?"

"Did the snowy land exude the scent of my land?"

"Are you the deep-blue sea?"

"That seems to get deeper the more you know it?"

"Will you gently appear before me?"

"And stop hiding from me?"

Ram

Vikas, take over

- Jai Hind, sir! - I heard you are married

- Why didn't you tell me? - I didn't know it myself, sir

Relax, officer

- What's her name? - Sita Mahalakshmi, sir

"Are you the deep-blue sea?"

"That seems to get deeper the more you know it?"

"Will you gently appear before me?"

"And stop hiding from me?"

"Your dainty hands cover me up"

"In the long ink of your writing"

"You touch my soul"

"Without ever materialising"

Hey Vikas!

My dear Ram

Do you know something?

It turns out our garden is also angry with you

Not even a single flower has bloomed since you left

So the butterflies also don't visit us

I feel so sad

Will you bring many butterflies when you come?

With love, Sita Mahalakshmi

"I imagine myself drawing you"

"Beautiful from head to toe"

"I seek a tune from this blessed life"

"To weave the rhythm of your sound"

- Read it aloud - Get lost!

"I guard the border everyday"

"And feel lonely by the day"

"O silent lover, did you enter his life"

"To be a companion to his soul?"

Dear Ram

Yesterday, our aunt next door asked me how we met

So I told her this

While Ravana was killed in Kurukshetra...

Sita uttered her marriage vows in that battlefield

Only you can understand its meaning, Ram

What?

While Ravana was killed in Kurukshetra...

Sita uttered her marriage vows in that battlefield

By the way, I had a dream last night

You were 60 years old in it

Even then you were playing around with me

And you kept calling my name

I woke up hearing that but you weren't by my side

Suddenly, I felt lonely

Yours, Sita Mahalakshmi

"Are you the deep-blue sea"

"That seems to get deeper the more you know it?"

"Will you gently appear before me?"

"And stop hiding from me?"

"Your dainty hands cover me up"

"In the long ink of your writing"

"You touch my soul"

"Without ever materialising"

Jai Hind, sir

Jai Hind

- You got mail, sir - Really?

Yes, sir

I'm going to Hyderabad on the 12th of this month

While packing my clothes I found our wedding dress

Our wedding dress!

The thought of travelling without you for 48 hours is scary

But why should I be scared?

After all, I'm a Lieutenant's wife

I can manage it, alright

Yes, you are a Lieutenant's wife

Austin's magic show is coming to Hyderabad this month

If you were here we could have gone together

With love, your wife Sita Mahalakshmi

Again, no from address

- Hey, Vikas! - Huh?

I found Sita

What?

- Where? - By Delhi train

- When? - On the 12th

- Come fast - Coming, buddy

I got only 20 days leave

There's no time for anything

Jai Hind, sir!

Jai Hind

Sir, what are you doing here? Are you on vacation?

- On a mission - Oh!

A dangerous girl is travelling in this train

What?

Is there anyone named Sita Mahalakhsmi here?

Well, you won't own it up

- Find the TC - Yes, sir

Do you have her photograph?

No

How does she look like?

That's why we are on this mission

How can we find her if you know nothing about her?

I know her name is Sita Mahalakshmi

Her name or horoscope doesn't matter

Only tickets

Don't say that

- My life, I mean... - Ah!

Our lives are in your hands

How?

You aren't just a TC but a soldier in this mission

I'm not used to such missions

Don't worry sir, we are with you

What's the plan?

The train is yours and so is the plan

In that case...

The 4 carriages behind you will be connected to Madras Mail at Bhopal

The 12 carriages behind me will go to Hyderabad with me

I'll search for her

Where is this dangerous girl headed to?

Hyderabad

Ask her

Ticket?

You look like Goddess Lakshmi Are you called Sitalakshmi?

No, Parvathi

I don't think we will succeed in this mission

We have already checked 8 carriages

- Maybe she didn't board the train - Don't say that, sir

Look around

These passengers are sleeping peacefully because of you

Come on, let's check the remaining carriages

Go back to sleep and save my honour

This is the last carriage

We can't stay here for long It's a special carriage

Yes, come in

That's the last coupe

Ticket

Who's there?

While Ravana was killed in Kurukshetra

Sita uttered her marriage vows in that battlefield

Ram!

My replies to your letters

I didn't know where to send them

So they stayed with me

Can I see you at the next station?

Sir, did you find the girl?

Mission success?

No

The real war has just begun

Sir!

Is my train safe now?

No one can save this train and me anymore

Ticket?

What's this?

You bought a ticket to Hyderabad but boarded the Madras train

- What's wrong with you, sir? - Madras?

The 4 carriages behind you will be connected to Madras Mail at Bhopal

Dearest Sita Mahalakshmi

I'll be in Bhagyanagar for a month

I mean, I'll be in this Sitanagar

To meet my secret wife

My friend Durjoy lives near Charminar

He is a great theatre artist

It's difficult to tolerate him

But that's okay

Because he has a telephone at home

The number is 37612

I'll wait for your call

Yours Ram

(singing a devotional song)

Bharatha!

Mind your pitch

Did you say I'm off pitch?

I've four degrees in music

Even a thermometer has many degrees

How are the two related?

Master, only you can speak so authoritatively about music

- Are you sure? - Of course

Stop praising me, Bharatha

Master, you are a rare mix of ignorance and arrogance

Stop snubbing your master and focus on the harmonium

I'm Lord Hanuman who is eagerly waiting to see Lord Ram

Start singing

(singing a devotional song)

- Who's that? - Ram

Lord Srirama!

Rama!

You showered mercy on this devotee who meditated on you

My life has...

been wasted

You weren't expecting me, were you?

- I wanted to surprise you - Yes, I know

Hard times and you always come unannounced

What trouble did you bring this time?

- Where's the phone? - Over there

- Hey Durjoy - Speak, mother

That phone stopped working a week ago

When do you plan to repair it?

"Is everything like magic? or is this doll expect to be waste?"

The phone stopped working six days ago

Our government stopped working six months ago

I raised a complaint already

Stop lying, you fool

As if Henry Fonda is going to call

Hey!

How could you commit such a crime?

I had no idea lying to one's mother was treason, soldier

How will I meet Sita now?

I don't even know her address

Stop acting cool You just crushed my last hope

Sita?!

(Song continuous)

I'm Ram's friend, Vikas Varma

Who's Sita?

It's a long story, Durjoy Sharma

Can't you make it short?

Out

- Is anyone there? - Coming

What happened to your telephone, master?

Are you here to fix the phone?

I didn't even raise a complaint

Please come in

There's an old woman here waiting for Lord Yama's call

- She is upstairs - Where's Ram?

- Sita? - Hmm

Once, Ram went in search of Sita

Today, Sita came looking for Ram

Modern era!

I'll call him

Ramu

What?

Sita is here

I knew you will come for me

How did you find the place?

Just because someone wrote a few letters to you

will you come from Kashmir to look for her?

When I read those letters

I felt like she was born just for me

So I had to come

Sorry

I took your photo without permission

When I found out about the phone

I was really worried I didn't know how to find you

That's when you appeared before me

Like a goddess

Can I tell you something?

I know each of your letters by heart

I've read them at least a hundred times

It's like we have been married for long...

What?

I mean...

it seems like we have known each other for a long time

Is that so?

But I wrote those letters thinking we will never meet

That's why I sent them

It's okay, just forget everything

- I wanted to tell this to you directly - That's a lie

Did you come all the way to say this?

Or did you come to see me?

Tell me the truth

I've to go

Sitamahalakshmi

Just a minute

Even the rain is asking you to stay

It's time for my dance class

Sita Mahalakshmi

I've lived alone in freezing cold

Isn't it unfair to call me this far and leave me alone in this rain?

Oh, you poor boy!

Just tell me how much the fare was

I'll send it to you

Dear Sita Mahalakshmi

Both the rain and I came searching for you

If you leave us behind my breath will stop

And this rainfall will turn into vapour

Only my Sita can save this man from the pit of misery

Yours Ram

If you give the address I'll send it to you Giving one's address and inviting danger

is not a wise thing to do, Sir Ram

Bidding farewell, yours Sita Mahalakshmi

Ram was overjoyed when he met Sita

Those letters were a great relief to Ram

It made him feel loved and wanted

And those letters

brought together Ram who lived in Kashmir

and Sita Mahalakshmi who worked in the Palace

What a great love story!

Didn't you see Ram after that?

No

There were some problems at home so I had to return soon after

I left the army

My father passed away

So I had to take care of my family

Afreen

- Are you alright? - No sir

Unless I meet Sita Mahalakshmi, my problem won't be solved

Ram had a friend here

Durjoy

Let me see if I got his address

Who is this, sir?

Vishnu Sharma

We were in the same battalion

Is there a chance he knows something about Sita?

I don't think so

But I don't have an option

I will try my luck

Do you have his contact number?

- Jai Hind, sir - Jai Hind, sir

Everyone's here?

At ease, gentlemen

Congrats for your promotion, sir

Thank you

- Hello! - Hello, I am Afreen

I would like to talk to Brigadier Vishnu Sharma sir

- What's the matter? - It's a long story, sir

I want to know about Lieutenant Ram

His colleague from 20 years ago

Sir, you got a call

- Who is it? - Someone called Afreen

She wants to know about Lieutenant Ram who worked with you in Kashmir in 1964

Ram?

I'll bring it for you, sir

Wait

Please wait, brother I'll get my friend

- The bus is leaving, come soon - Just a minute

Hello?

Arun

Contact the intelligence agency immediately

Who is she?

Where did she come from? Why did she call?

I want to know everything

As soon possible I want every single detail

Immediately

Sir

- Did you find anything? - Sir, her name is Afreen

She got your contact from retired Second Lieutenant Vikas

who is from Anantapur in Hyderabad army base

Vikas?

Yes, sir! Vikas, gave your contact

Sir, you have to catch the 7am flight to Delhi, sir

Sir, what happened? Any change in plan, sir?

I am going to Anantapur

Father...

Son Bhimasena

What's the matter?

We have visitors

Without any notice, at this midday

Let them in

Welcome, please come in

Pakistan declares ceasefire along the border

Good joke!

Sri Ramayendra Prabhu

I think my life will end in the streets wandering with you in search of Sita

So please be kind enough

to give me salvation and allow me to shave

I've been stuck with you for a while

Ages gone since I played drama

Austin's magic show is coming to Hyderabad this month

If you were here we could have gone together

It's my ill-luck

- This is sheer luck - What?

- I found it - What?

- I'll tell you, let's go - Where?

To the magic show

We have been searching for Sita for a week now

If you don't find her here

I want you to give it up

I'm sure she will come

- Then where is she? - Just wait

May I ask the beautiful lady to come on to the stage, please?

May I know your name, young lady?

Sitamahalakshmi

Ms Sita! You are quite popular here!

Come, come Let's start the show

Ram!

Come here

- Hi - Hi!

Sir, excuse me

Just one minute

How do you know my name?

You only know what's written in the letters

There are many things you don't know

I was alone and happy in my world

She invited me here How can she ask me to go back?

Isn't it unfair?

You came so unexpectedly

How can she trust you?

What if you take advantage of her?

Okay

Then tell me

About what?

The story of that moon

Miss Sita, can you please put your rose in the jar?

Sure

Thank you!

Abracadabra... abracadabra...

Can anyone from the audience come on to the stage, please?

Me

Excuse me

Can you remove the cloth, please?

Sure

You asked me to bring butterflies when I came

Here they are, take them with you

I know the truth about you

What truth?

That you are a dance teacher

Ms Sita!

Don't worry about your flower

I'll send it to your home

And your address, please?

Sitamahalakshmi

Noorjahan Palace

Afzalgunj

Hyderabad!

We'll move to the next act

Sitamahalakshmi

Just a minute

Look

Don't dare to come to the palace because you got my address

Ms Sita Mahalakshmi!

Please respect your rival

- I struggled to find you - So what?

I don't understand

Why do you want to see me?

You don't understand!

Dearest Sita Mahalakshmi

I find it very inconvenient to call you Miss or Madam

- Hey, Sita! - Huh?

I want to call you by your name

And to do that...

we should meet each other often

What if my brother comes to know about it?

What will I tell him?

Tell him the truth

Tell him that you are with me

What if he doesn't agree if I tell the truth?

Then lie to him

If you tell a lie it will become the truth

The whole world will believe in it

You are in good mood, right?

A little

"Like a darling flower"

"You blossomed in me"

"O beautiful maiden"

"Won't you tell me your name?"

"To far-away lands"

"That no one can reach"

"Will you go with me today?"

"Cheek as pretty as a faint rose"

"And smile so mischievous"

"When your face appears"

"Dreams take flight"

"You are the gentle moonlight"

"That shines abundantly"

"O moonshine that the fawn holds dear to its heart"

"As I keep looking at you"

"I wonder, why O why are you so charming?"

"Above the billow of clouds"

"Below the snow-clad ground"

"Offer you shade as you walk"

"Time has stopped"

"As we walk together"

"It seems like an illusion"

"Waves of the river become invisible jewels"

"Sarangi hums sweetly in the wind"

"The universe has opened up for you"

"O moonshine that the fawn holds dear to its heart"

"As I keep looking at you"

"I wonder, why, O why are you so charming?"

A girl and a boy walking together at midnight!

- Terrible times - Times have changed

You are right

I hope they don't hold hands

- If that happens... - The world will come to a standstill

Will you stop there please?

We are holding hands

Did the world come to a standstill?

Ask him

Ram!

Look at me

Did anything happen to this world?

He says no, so you can leave

It didn't stop, let's go

Let's go, Ram sir

"I was far away"

"You came as a messenger"

"Raining words of desire in me"

"Time passed by"

"Before I came looking for you"

"In this land of dreams today"

"These hands that wished to fight"

"Are holding roses and waiting restlessly"

Sita ma'am, what are you doing here?

"I was born in this earth only for you"

"O moonshine that the fawn holds dear to its heart"

"As I keep looking at you"

"I wonder, why, O why are you so charming?"

The rain shows no signs of stopping

Let's go in there

Come in or you will get drenched

- Is this house available for rent? - Yes

Granny, somebody is here to see the house

Who is it?

Do you want to see the house?

Are you married?

We are...

We are getting married next week

Isn't that so?

What happened?

Is he telling the truth?

Are you sure? Do you agree?

You are the witness, mother

For what?

I mean we want you to witness our marriage

- Am I right, Ms Sita Mahalakshmi? - What's the matter with you?

Why do you call your fiancee as madam?

You must lovingly call her dear or darling

Absolutely right

Stop it, granny

Granny loves to talk, you come in

Hey! Sita!

The door to your right opens to the living room

Yes I saw, it's really nice

Excuse me, sister?

- Is this a love marriage? - Yes

How did you know?

I guessed it as you are looking for a house before marriage

I've read about lovers in books

But it's the first time I'm seeing one

Where did you first meet?

On a train

No

In Kashmir

Kashmir?

Wow, such a beautiful place, sister

Surrounded by snowy mountains and huge pine trees

Apples, snow falls...

No

Surrounded by war

What's happening here, mother?

It's a tradition

We believe that whenever the first snow of the year falls

Lord Ram and Goddess Sita visit Agarta together

Really?

Where are you from?

Hyderabad

Agarta that had been waiting for Ram and Sita was engulfed in flames

Sita was caught in that fire with no means to escape

And Ram came to save her

Did you see a girl running this way?

Don't be afraid

Is anyone here?

No

- Then who is she? - She is my wife

Your wife is beautiful

- We are Muslims too - So what?

We just want to enjoy her beauty

"May follow righteousness"

"May earn wealth"

"May fulfill desires"

"May have liberation"

"O hero of the Bharata clan"

"May follow righteousness"

"May earn wealth"

"May fulfill desires"

"May have liberation"

"O hero of the Bharata clan"

Sorry

I told them you are my wife to save you

Forgive me

"Whatever exist, is exist elsewhere, whatever is not, does not exist anywhere"

While Ravan was killed in Kurukshethra

Sita uttered her marriage vows in that battlefield

Now it makes sense, Sita

Sita!

Mrs Ram

Where have you been all this while?

Why are you so late?

I'm stealing for the first time So it took a while

So this is...

Surprise

Are you feeling cold?

Stealing someone's property if you keep in this house

Police will catch me, won't they?

Why do you fear when I'm here?

That's what I'm afraid of

- We are going to the palace tomorrow - Why?

To fix a marriage

I don't want to get married

Lord Hanuman was a celibate

Not you, it's for me

That means you won't leave soon

(Song from Malayalam movie 'Pazhassi Raja')

Sita may have come to our home

But going to meet her at the palace isn't easy

Our old tuition teacher Krishnamurthy sir used to live here

What you said has nothing to do with what I said

If we try to enter they may tear us apart

We used to play football over there

Don't you remember?

Now it's a cinema hall

There's no way I can put some sense into your head

How can we get inside the palace?

I will show you

That is Subramanyam

He will get us inside safely

So you had already plotted everything?

For the courageous adventurous Sita Mahalakshmi

O Lord Hanuman, please protect Ram

Subramanyam sir

How are you?

Is everything okay with you?

Why not? I'm fine

- You are... - I'm Ram

We met at the palace yesterday

- See, you forgot - No, I didn't

Oh yes

I remembered just now

- Ram! - Yes

- Are you going to the palace? - Yes, son

I'm going there too You can come with me

Don't trouble yourself I can take this for 2 rupees

Come on sir, we can go in our car

Is that so, Mr Ram?

You finally agreed Come, sir

This is Noorjahan Palace

It looks like a ballad set

Bharatanatyam song in a Muslim palace?

If the king desires something will he find it lacking?

- Is the king lacking something? - Keep quiet and walk

I told you we shouldn't do this

Our princess loves Bharatanatyam

They are gone

So a dance teacher has been appointed in the palace

Let's go

"My handsome Radamohana"

Stop, who are you?

And where are you going?

Pardon me

This is Subramanyam sir's nephew

- Catch him - Bless me, sir

What a humble young man!

You are just like your uncle except for that complexion

I'm Sitaramayya, your uncle's friend

- Happy to see you - There you go again

Ram!

I'm talking to you

What are you doing here?

Who do you want to meet?

I came to see Sita

- Which Sita? - Not Sita

He's here to see Sitaramayya

This is his nephew He just got here today

- Get his blessings because I did - Should I?

Did you?

Please get up

He didn't tell me he has a young nephew

- Even he doesn't know it - What?

At least you should have told me, Ram

I just found out, sir

You got the point?

You came to know about it just now

Just joke, sir

He is always like this

Hey Subbu

You never told me that you have such a handsome nephew

Of course!

Ram here is...

Get lost!

Our nephew

- This Sitaramayya... - Here he is

You are just like your uncle

You are so childish even at this age

Why should we change ourselves? Why?

Oh my!

All those talks have made me...

feel a bit dizzy so I'll wait in the car

Let me put this back

Why are they laughing so much?

"It is the day of festivity"

"The day where I find my consort"

"Strike your bow on the love target"

"And adorn me the garland of love"

My Sita is over there, go to her

Why did you come here, Ram?

You will get into trouble

I just learned that there's no love without problems

You should not have come here

You should not have come

Why did you risk coming here?

I don't understand

Teaching dance to the princess is an important job

I've a less important one

Will you do it if you like the job?

What is it?

I didn't have a home or family to visit

Not until now, Sita

Whenever I got time off I used to travel around

Then return to the army base

I don't want to do that anymore

I want to come and see you during my vacation

I want to see you waiting for me and hold you closer to me

I want to turn you into the Sita of the letters you wrote

I don't know if this job is important or not

But if you come with me you will live like a princess

I promise

Tell me what your problem is, Sita

I am a soldier

How can she leave like that?

Will she ever find someone like Ram?

He risked his life to save hers

How about showing some gratitude?

Women are the same everywhere

They ditch a good guy and end up marrying a fool

Was that the case in 1964 also?

There must have been a reason why she left

Was there one?

That's what I asked Ram

What did he tell you?

Durjoy

- Just tell me, Durjoy - Come here

What can we do? After all, love is blind

Didn't Ram ever come back again?

- Come here - Be careful

I know

No one knows when he will come and when he will leave

I haven't seen him for 20 years

This is so annoying

We don't know who or where Sita is

We don't even know what she looks like

How will we find her in 10 days?

Ram had taken a photo of Sita

I think that photo is around somewhere

This was taken when Ram won the medal

This one right before we staged our play

- Here she is - Let me see

- Such a stunning woman! - Don't cast your evil eye on her

- Oh yeah! - May I have this photo, sir?

Thank you

Will you write to me about it?

Get out!

What do you plan to do with it?

Let's go to the palace and show it to Mr Subramanyam

He maybe able to recognise Sita Mahalakshmi

Go, hurry up

Sorry... sorry

- Balaji! - Huh?

Balaji!

What?

What happened?

Sita Mahalakshmi is Princess Noorjahan?

Tell me what your problem is, Sita

I am a soldier

Jai Hind, sir

Did a girl visit you 4 days ago?

- Her name was... - Afreen, sir

She came from London

She is from Pakistan

The granddaughter of Pakistan Army Major Abu Tariq

She asked me about Ram She is writing a book

I am really sorry, sir

I don't know anything about it

You don't know?

You don't know where she came from

Do you at least know where she is now?

She gave me a hotel address so I can contact her if I come to know about Ram

I'll bring it

How is it possible, dude?

A princess writes a letter to an Indian soldier in Kashmir

So he comes here looking for her

What a love story!

How did the princess fall in love with an ordinary soldier?

Noorjahan is no fool

She was London returned

That's why she left when he told her about marriage

Hello!

Not everyone is like you

No girl will snub a person like Ram

Don't glorify Ram

He was in love with a princess not an ordinary girl

Hey!

But Ram didn't know that Sita was a princess

Do you have any proof?

Didn't we search for her?

How many people knew that Sita Mahalakshmi is Princess Noorjahan?

I'm sure Ram doesn't know about it

May be!

But I didn't come here to solve Ram's problems

I'm here to solve my problems

I'll be gone the moment I deliver this letter

Can we go now?

Look Balaji, I'm not a selfish person

Okay?

I'm taking so much trouble for total strangers

There's no point talking to you

I didn't have a home or family to visit until now, Sita

Whenever I got time off I used to travel around

and return to the army base

I don't want to do that anymore

I want to come and see you during my vacation

I want to see you waiting for me and hold you close to me

I want to turn you into the Sita of the letters you wrote

I don't know if this job is important

But if you come with me you will live like a princess

- True - Good morning, Your Highness

Good morning

Today's schedule is going to be hectic, Madam Princess

Please get ready immediately

Ma'am, your meeting with the Education Minister is at one

Miss Rekha will be joining you

And you have a meeting with welfare community too, Madam Princess

Hello everyone! How are you?

Good morning, your highness!

Good morning

This is the first pass out batch from the girls' education program

- Thank you so much, ma'am - Hmm

You are welcome, my darling!

Your Highness!

You are not allowed to kneel down in front of the common people

Who's going to stop me, Fathima?

Okay!

Mr Soldier

No woman will marry a man who has no home or family

What else can she do, Ram?

She knows everything about me

You only know how to kill your enemy

You don't have the talent to understand a woman's heart

She doesn't care if your name is Ram or you work in the military

That's not what matters

Can you buy her a saree on special occasions?

How much do you earn?

In short, women will see if their future will be safe by marrying you

She won't marry you if her life with you is going to be miserable

These aren't the times of Lord Ram

Is that only?

I've 12,000 rupees in my bank account

And my salary will increase by 100 rupees from next month

So it will be 600 rupees

Earning 600 rupees is no laughing matter

Go and talk to her

She will run away with you as soon as she hears about it

I'm lucky to have a friend like you, Ravan

Thank you Same to you

Ram, convey my regards to Sita

Will you change the Ramayana altogether?

Come, they are calling you

Tell them I don't want to go

Ram proposed to me

- After marriage... - Can he look after you like a princess?

Of course, he will

Noor!

This is no small matter to discuss while riding a car

Be practical

The more you delay it the more hurt he will be

Tell him the truth

Before I tell him who I'm

I want to tell him that I love him, Rekha

Sita is just a fantasy

You are Princess Noorjahan Please, wake up

I don't want to

When I think about who I'm

I realise I don't want that to be true

So you know that's never going to happen

Is that why you ran away when he told you about marriage?

Why are you upset?

He would have come looking for you even if you hadn't wrote your address

That's his fault

I made the mistake of writing to him

He would have been happier as an orphan

Is there a problem, Your Highness?

There is a very big problem, Mr Javed

Can you solve it?

I don't think so

Let's go

Noor, you are playing with fire

You know your brother quite well

You don't have a choice

The future of this dynasty depends on your decision

Did you forget that?

Hey! Sita!

Your Highness!

It's an emergency

Everybody is waiting for you

We received information from Oman this morning

Interference by some foreign powers have made matters worse

Certain decisions made by the Sultan have shaken our business empire

Your Highness!

We have to take a decision immediately

Farzana!

Why are you crying, little one?

King of Oman has taken all of our industries away

We have lost 60 crores overnight

- What? - There is only one way to avoid a crisis

This is just my opinion

The King of Oman has to agree to it

The royal family controls the business industry in Oman

There is only one thing we can do

Build a strong relationship with them

If he had a daughter you could have send a proposal for marriage

But he has only a son

You are thinking right, sir

If your sister can send a proposal for marriage to the Prince of Oman

We can be saved

Ma'am, you should agree to this alliance

Your Highness

Only you can bring some light into this darkness

Send the proposal

Yes, your highness!

Appu! Please, wait

Stop it

- Yes? - Subramanyam sir asked us to meet you

Are you Afreen?

He told me you will come

I'm going to the college for a lecture

We can talk along the way Come with me

What is your interest in Noorjahan?

She is writing a book, that's why

I want to give this letter to Sita

Sita-Ram!

I'm hearing this name after 20 years

What a day!

How could Noorjahan fall in love with an ordinary soldier?

That too a Hindu

But, why?

Because, he is Ram

Sir! Wait! Stop!

You can't go in

I just need to meet someone

Let's keep the library here

No... no, we should shift from here to here

Sir, you aren't allowed inside

Our princess is in a meeting

Why should I meet your princess?

I came here to see my princess

She is a dance teacher

We have more than enough-

- Please stop shouting, sir - I'll make a new sketch

Mr Vishwanadh! Can you please excuse us? And clear the room also

- Sir, you must leave - Please listen to me

- You have to obey the orders - Ram is here

Go and tell him that it's not possible

Let him lead his life, Noor

- You can't go now - Security!

Let him go Ma'am wants to see him

It's true that I'm a fool

Which girl would agree to getting married in a hurry?

Yesterday, when you left without saying a word

I felt like I did something wrong

But I made the mistake of writing to you

How?

You wrote to me thanking me for saving your life

But I bothered you by pursuing you

Am I right?

Thank god

You saved me

So I didn't bother you?

How will you agree to marry me without knowing anything about me?

You are just like Sita

You look beautiful even without a bindi!

Like actress Savitri

Every girl who gets married by her choice fears one thing

Will the guy take good care of her after their marriage?

Fear not, ma'am

I'll be there for you

My monthly salary is 600 rupees

I'll give the entire amount to you

Provident fund is 30 rupees

I get an annual increment of 20 rupees

I've 12,000 rupees in my account now

We can buy a bungalow with that money

You will be as happy after our marriage as you are now

And in case I die in a war you will get 40,000 rupees...

Can you please stop it, Ram?

Why do you say that?

I've been wanting to tell you something

Everyday, I try...

But something is holding me back from telling you about it

Just tell me once what your problem is

I am a soldier

You need time, don't you?

Take all the time you want

If you can walk along with me...

I can wait for you all my life

Are you going to Kashmir?

There are still four days left for Kashmir

If you don't mind

may I invite you to meet my family whom I've never met before?

But you need time to think

Well, it's time for my train

- Noor! Where are you going? - Ram will return to Kashmir in 4 days

- If we never meet again - What's with you?

Everyone is waiting for you

I must go and tell him the truth

Please manage, Rekha

"O maiden flower"

"Will you wreathe yourself when I'm nigh?"

Can you do that once more?

Why?

- Or else we will keep fighting - "Will you spread the smile that you adorn?"

"To come like a torrent on you And stay by your side forever"

- Does it hurt? - "To turn into a drop of snow"

"And slide down your lovely face"

"I will do penance for ages like a wild butterfly"

"O honeybee"

"I stay close to your heart"

"And be the delight you seek"

"Will you pair your florid wings within me forever?"

"Will time hum again the melody? We made that day together?"

"I'll stay with you like a shadow in my next birth too"

"O maiden flower"

"Will you wreathe yourself when I'm nigh?"

"O honeybee"

"I stay close to your heart"

"How long should I seek? To see you just the once?"

"How many boons should I receive? To stroke the tip of your fingers?"

"A spark of wonder lit the corner of my eyes"

"A sparkle of moonshine cross my heart"

"With a heart that seeks love"

"We come together on this path today"

"We flap our wings and cuddle like birds from some fairy tale"

Bless you Live long

'Dheerga Sumangali Bhava'

Chechi

What is the meaning of Dheerga Sumangali Bhava?

It means to live a long and happy life with one's husband and kids

Is that so?

Did you hear that?

Girija, take the clothes from the terrace before it rains

- Does Radhika stay here? - She lives upstairs

Let's go up

Dear sister Radhika

This is your brother Ram

The doughnuts were delicious

How's my...

How's my niece?

I'm coming next month to get her ears pierced

Your uncle is coming to see you

Take a seat

If she hears anyone else's voice she will wake up in no time

Are you coming here for the first time?

Or have you been here before?

I don't ask for my clients' names

I don't even remember their faces

This job doesn't need any of that

You have to come by midnight

And leave before it's dawn

Right, sir?

How long will it take?

I've a sister here

And she has a daughter That's what you told me

But...

you didn't tell me about this

Brother

Is this for real?

I can't really...

I can't believe that you are here

Is this my sister-in-law? She is so pretty

I'll be back soon

Come on, your uncle is here

Brother

This is Kasturi

She won't sleep until I read out your letter to her

Will you be here tomorrow?

I wanted to get her ears pierced

Only if you have time, brother

Don't be mad at me I've no choice

This is what I do

I've to raise her

It's too dark in here

Kasturi needs light

Come

I said come

- Alright - We will go somewhere else

Where are you going?

- I'm taking her along - Bring her back before it's dark

Do you get it?

Let him go, brother

She will never come back

We do this to make a living, sir

Please don't get in the way

I paid a lot of money for her

How many people live here?

Ram spent all his earnings and rescued everyone who stuck there

Kasturi should go to school

Don't worry about them

She is my sister too

Take care

Ram!

Why are you sitting here?

Will you stay in a rented house?

Rented house?

I've run out of money

How can I buy a house now?

Are you going back to Kashmir?

When will I meet you again?

Tomorrow at 10 pm

That's when my train leaves

Will you come?

I'll wait for you

Sita went with Ram to tell him the truth about her

That's when she realised

she will never be able to do it

One day, a messenger from Oman arrived at the palace

I'll speak to you later

- Good morning, your highness! - Good morning

Is there any good news, Mr Akbar?

Sorry to say this, Your Highness

But we have instructions to tell this directly to Princess Noorjahan

Okay, come

I hope he brought the good news

Your brother didn't sleep well last night

Neither did I

Look at you!

How can he turn down a princess like you?

That's what I fear too

Noor!

The Ambassador of Oman wants to see you

Come

Mr Akbar...

She is here

Not only Prince, all Oman is waiting for you, Your Highness

"Ram is present in the entire universe"

"Longing, Sita became lonely"

"Sharing the same canoe on a shore"

"Drifting apart from each other?"

"Will the pair of florets that touched each other"

"Fade away in the dark?"

"Our days of love My nights remember"

"Desires burning within Give persistent pain"

- "I realise" - I'm so happy

We are saved

- "we only have each other" - Oman Prince has accepted our proposal

He sent an official letter!

"Ram is present in the entire universe"

"Longing, Sita became lonely"

"Hearts are thirsty"

How is Sita Mahalakshmi, sir?

- "Once again, for a drop of love" - Did you meet her?

- How is she, sir? - Why did you come back soon?

Soldiers!

Attention!

Can I speak to Sita Mahalakshmi?

Ram! Can I call you later?

Sir, it's not safe to stay here

Come, let's go

"Counting memories"

"With a numb heart"

"In front of the bay"

"While the heart fills with desires we wove"

"I pen my grief on a blank page"

"I realise We only have each other"

Did Ram know that Sita Mahalakshmi was Princess Noorjahan?

No

Did Sita leave Ram because of the financial crisis in Oman?

Who told you she left him?

Did they meet again? How?

Love may be blind

But the people around are not

Hey, chief editor!

Have you ever thought about raising my salary?

What?

Salary

My salary

You mean salary?

Yes

Mathews

Don't you know I can't hear you if you speak loudly?

What's the news?

Photos that can increase my salary and your newspaper sales

Who are they?

Princess Noorjahan...

And who's he?

Someone

Someone?

He is just a common man!

Princess Noorjahan is in love with a common man?

Mathews, this is what I call news

- Go to press - Raise my salary

Never

It's a fake news

In tomorrow's newspaper there will be an article

The Prince of Oman is getting married to Noorjahan

Do you mean it's not true?

Of course it's not true!

Can we hear the same from the Princess?

I have to explain to Sultan

As you wish

Come with me

Noor!

Did you see the news?

Princess Noorjahan is in love with a common man!

Noor!

Hey!

Don't worry about this news

I'll take care of it

He wants you to tell him that it's not true

Tell him the truth, Noor

Tell him it's not true, Noor

You know how important this alliance is to us

Even a small mistake can destroy us

We lose everything, Noor

Tell him it's not true, Noor

Please!

I am sorry, Mr Akbar

This is the truth

Please convey my sincere apologies to your Prince

I am in love with a commoner

Sure, Your Highness

With your permission-

I am sorry

I should have told you about it

Have you thought about the consequences of what you just said?

He is the Prince of Oman, Noorjahan

Who's this?

A common man?

Noor!

Hello!

Can I speak to Sita Mahalakshmi?

Tell me, Ram

I was talking to my brother about you

And you called up

Ram?

Ram, can I call you later?

Who is this, Ram?

Lieutenant Ram

Indian Army?

- Have you gone mad? - Yes, I am mad

Noor!

I am sorry

I'll make up for any loss you may incur when I marry Ram

You can take my entire property

Are you out of your mind?

What do you mean by that?

I am not worried about wealth

I am worried about you!

And our family's honour

Who are you giving up all this for?

If you knew what kind of a man he is

you wouldn't have talked like this

- You will be glad - Noor!

I'm not Noorjahan anymore

You can call me Sita

Fatima, book my tickets to Srinagar as soon as possible

And please don't forget to send a thank note to the reporter

The journalist who wrote that article about me

Okay, your highness

Parade! Rest!

Parade! Attention!

Sir!

Someone has come to meet you

As I wrote in my letter

I want to be your Sita Mahalakshmi

Which means...

I'm no longer an orphan

"The only gift that time gave us"

"Is this alluring bond we chose"

"This union feels like a dream"

"It radiates joy from inside out"

"Are our souls melting"

Accepting you!

"In the drizzle of the rainclouds?"

Accepting you!

"Now let's know the sweetness of love"

"Hold our hands"

"And sit close to each other forever"

"Gently from eye to eye"

"Today our love flowed like the sea"

"It has been a wonderful day"

"Gently from eye to eye"

"Today our love flowed like the sea"

"It has been a wonderful day"

"We will snuggle up with each other"

"And I will sing sweet songs to you"

"We will share our desires"

"That has been cherished for so long"

"We smiled fleetingly, knowing"

"Our love is unparalleled"

"Our days and nights from now"

"Will be filled with colours"

"Gently from eye to eye"

"Today our love flowed like the sea"

"It has been a wonderful day"

"Gently from eye to eye"

"Today our love flowed like the sea"

"It has been a wonderful day"

"To flow like the river"

"We sought for our course"

"Like a newly emerged butterfly"

"We looked for the forest"

"How many hours are there in a day"

"For two hearts to unite?"

"Like an epic poetry of love"

"It comes alive many times"

"Here O here"

"Gently from eye to eye"

"Today our love flowed like the sea"

"It has been a wonderful day"

People like Sita are seen not only in stories

They are with us even now

God! She is an epic

There's no doubt about it

If everything had gone well

you wouldn't have come looking for me

The real problem was about to begin

Ma'am! It's time for the conference They are waiting

I am coming

Where is Noorjahan now?

London

Hello, Radhika speaking

Can I speak with Princess Noorjahan?

Ma'am has gone to Kashmir

Every year she goes to Kashmir around this time

Kashmir?

Yes

Can I have her address please?

She vacated the room and left at 8 pm

Abu Tariq!

Afreen has left Hyderabad

I don't know where she is now

I should know her whereabouts by the time I reach Delhi tomorrow

Sorry, sorry, sorry

I got a bit late

But excited to see Sita?

Madam, your ticket

- Thank you - Happy journey

- Balaji! - Hmm

Such a terrific love story!

Wait

- Are you Afreen? - Yes, sir!

Passport, please

Excuse me, sir!

What are you doing?

We are taking you into custody

But... but for what reason, sir?

Don't make any scene

Come with us

Afreen!

Afreen!

Stop there

I'm also with her

Hey junior, take me with you

All this time I wandered with her

Now she is taking off in a convoy

You are from Pakistan

Why are you enquiring about Ram?

Do you know who is Ram?

He was in the Indian Army

He is a traitor! A betrayer!

Because of him we lost 32 lives in Operation Grandslam!

Why do you want to know about Ram?

Jai Hind, sir

At ease

What's going on here?

Sir, she is from Pakistan

And she is searching for Lieutenant Ram in India

Major, I know this girl very well

She is of no threat to the country

I need to speak to her alone

I will explain to you later Thank you

I will wait outside

I've nothing do with Ram

I didn't know he was a traitor

He is not a traitor!

Never say that again

I don't owe you an explanation

But to Ram and your grandfather Abu Tariq

I'm indebted

- That's why - How do you know my grandfather?

Order please, sir

- What's special in vegetarian menu? - Veg platter, sir

- Bring that one - Okay sir

- Vishnu sir! - What do you eat, child?

Is that Ram?

- Hi, sir - Hi, ma'am

I am Ram

- And this is Sita - I know

So you found your Sita and proved that you are a true soldier

Ram!

That table is free

Why can't they sit with us?

Let's sit here then

Ma'am!

You know so much about me

What did Vishnu sir tell you?

Vishnu doesn't speak well of anyone

Except you

He likes you

Has your family agreed to your wedding?

No, they aren't happy with it

Why don't you elope and get married? That's what we did

So was it a love marriage?

He showed me two tickets to a cinema

Later I found out that it was for our wedding

He didn't say anything about it to me

You didn't tell me too, father

We wanted to get Ansari's location from him

Ram and I played an old game to make him confess

Good cop... bad cop

How dare you point a gun at me?

I'll kill you

- Get up - Stop it, sir

Don't hit me, sir

- Let go of me - Sir, please leave me

- Who sent you here? - Don't hit me, sir

- Sir, please don't - Tell me or I'll kill you

Sir, please stop it

- Vishnu, sir! Please control yourself! - Let go of me

Let's finish him here itself, Ram

Please save me, brother

Brother, help me!

I realised that he had started trusting Ram

That was what we wanted

Abbas was killed right in front of me

That's why I tried to kill him

Not just Abbas

Each and every person in this photo will come here and get killed

Who are you doing this for?

Waheeda

She too will cross the border one day

She may even get killed

She is only a child now

So she has more time

To stop that, Ansari has to die

I don't know where he is

Tell me if you know

Now it's my responsibility to save Waheeda

For the first time in Indian history, you are crossing the border and entering POK

To kill Ansari

The aim of this secret operation is not to destroy their country

It's to save our country from destruction

Only a few people know about the Ansari assassination plan

Honourable PM Mr Shastri

President Mr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Army General Mr GH Chowdhary

and the soldiers in this room right now

The problem is if you don't return safely

the Indian Army will forget you

And that includes us

We can't even bring you back to India

Pakistan Major Ayub Khan has been in our prison for the last 2 years

Happy soul

He has gained some weight as well

But if you get caught, you can't imagine what they will do to you

You can check yourself

Because they don't respect Geneva Convention rules

It's difficult to live there

but it's easier to die

Do you still want to cross the border and kill Ansari?

Yes, sir!

- Are you sure? - Yes, sir!

Are you scared?

For Sita

Don't you get scared when you see guns?

I'm getting married to a soldier

Did you tell him you are not Sita but Princess Noorjahan?

Not yet but I'll tell him soon

It doesn't matter who I'm

What matters is that Ram knows the truth

But I don't know how he will react to it

What will he do?

He will leave everything behind and fall at your feet

Rekha, he is Ram

Ram is here

I will talk you later

I've something important to tell you

What's that?

Are you afraid?

What about you?

Aren't you afraid?

I wasn't afraid until I met you

Anyway...

all of us have to die sooner or later

One can't evade death

This is how it will be

A pit where you rest forever

I'll be buried in a grave like everyone else

That's what I used to think, Sita

I was brave back then because I had no one in my life, Sita

If something happens to me, I want you to move on

The practice of Sati was abolished years ago, Sita

You wanted to say something to me

I'll tell you when you return

"Life of Lord Rama reincarnated"

"Age of Ramayana resurrected"

"Hearts become one"

"When you go far away"

"On these desolate shores"

"I am alone"

"Come back to me, O sun"

Sir, it's time

"I will be alone, this far"

"As the sky gets dark"

"In the vein of a gloomy night"

"Clouds bear the burden of tears"

"Bear the burden of tears"

"You will help me sustain the cold"

"Being the flame of my memory"

"Turning each moment into an era"

Ram!

"Come back to me, O sun"

What happened?

This badge is still wet

I want you to come back

before it's dry

I'll wait for you

my whole life

"My ears yearn to hear your footsteps"

"As fear takes root in my faint heart"

"Let me fill the lamp of your eye"

"With the oil of my love "

"Like a burning lamp"

"I will prevail unrestrained"

"Come back to me, O sun"

"I will be alone, this far"

He will help us

Abdul!

Change your clothes

I'll tell you what you have to do next

Who are you?

Farook has sent the ration

Keep it inside

Okay

Let's go

Salim, sir is calling both of you upstairs

Looks like Ansari is upstairs

Then let's send him up

That day is not far

when Kashmir will be free from those infidels

Capture every Indian soldier and kill them

Send them all to hell

Give them a humiliating death

Rudraaksh Hindu prayer beads

Who are you?

Wake up the warrior in you

Get out of your homes

Kill those infidels

Jihad is at your doorstep

Seek your enemies out and kill them

God's willing

Fate will favour us

The entire Kashmir will be free

We will wipe out every trace of India from Kashmir

Forever

If you have another birth try to learn its true meaning

Brave Madrassi, hit and kill! (Madras regiment's war-cry)

Brother!

Brother!

Ram! Make it fast

Waheeda...

Are you crazy, Ram?

Come back

Sir, except these two all are dead here

Just the two of us are enough to kill all of you

We had no idea where we were taken to

or how long it had been

Minus temperatures

We got nothing to eat and no proper clothes to wear

All we knew was pain

Soldiers!

Stop the game Is this how you behave?

I am sorry for the behavior of the soldiers

If you hadn't tried to save that child

you would have been heroes in your country

I could see the humanity in you

And I hope that Allah Almighty who protects this world

is also able to see it

Sir, clothes

Please, take them

What?

Do you want us to wear your uniform?

You won't become Pakistanis by wearing them

Wear it or you will die of cold

Are you trying to threaten us?

Rascals!

We should kill them all

- Not in that camp - Where's Ram?

He said he will return in a week but it's been a month now

Where is he? What happened to him?

- Please calm down, Sita - I can't calm down

What should I do? He has only me

I just worried for him

Please calm down and listen to me

We are conducting an enquiry

We will inform you shortly

That's a lie

You are hiding something

He said he was on some secret mission

What secret mission?

I am the commanding officer here

- I don't want to hear your lies - There was no mission

What's written in this notice?

It says Vishnu hasn't returned to the barracks

You are obliged to answer this

Where is he?

- What happened to him? - I don't know

They left the barracks 4 weeks ago

Where is he?

I just worried for him

And we can't be having this conversation

Did you think Ram has no one to even send a notice to?

I'm here for him

Don't you feel sorry for this child?

At least for her sake, tell me the truth

He can't say it

I know whom to ask Let them answer it

Ram sir

He suffered so much for this country, sir

This is wrong, sir

Sorry sir

The harsh reality is that

both of them will be declared deserted soldiers in a week

Is the army going to portray them in a bad light?

- Why sir? - It's wrong

There's nothing we can do about it, right sir?

Sorry sir

With your permission

Hey Ram!

- We will die in here - Shut up!

Just because of you, you homeless rascal

I've a family waiting for me

Ram!

You have been declared as deserted soldiers in your country

The news report says that you broke the Indian Army Code

The sacrifice you made for your country

- Stop thinking - Ok, sir

Where's Ram?

Princess Noorjahan!

Come, come, come! Please be seated

The President and the Prime Minister called me an hour apart

Princess Noorjahan will come Do the needful

Should I tell you what we haven't told anybody yet?

You might be an influential woman

But I can decide not to tell you the truth and you know that

Sir!

I am not a princess

I am Sita Mahalakshmi

Lieutenant Ram's wife

I just want to know if he is safe

We can't celebrate our success

neither can we accept our failure

They killed Ansari and some other 35 Mujahideens

But, unfortunately he was captured by Pakistan army

He is in prison?

Yes!

"Oh heart that has wings"

"Don't stop here itself"

"No direction will stop you"

"My shrivelling heart is scary"

"Please come to me"

"And I will remain here static Until you are near"

"Without closing my eyes"

"Will there be a heavy shower?"

"Will she dip and subside her ire?"

"As yours 'me'..."

"As yours 'me'..."

"I will come in the gush of a wind"

"To touch you forever"

"And I will flow into you..."

"Into you..."

"And transcend as your breath"

Ram is in Pakistan prison

Please!

I know you that you know somebody in Pakistan

Please bring him back

I'll do as you say

Please do whatever you can

There's nothing we can do now

I can't do anything

Please bring him back

I will not marry him!

Bring him back

Indian Army made efforts to release us, your grandfather too

Greetings, sir

Uh, Tariq!

- You wanted to discuss something? - Yes, sir

I've a great idea to get Colonel Abbas released from Indian prison

And only you can make this happen

Me? How?

You know that we have captured two Indian soldiers

Let's exchange them

By Allah's grace you will be rewarded for it

They are just Indians

They don't respect their soldiers

Sir!

Someone from the Indian Embassy is here to meet you

- Hello! - Hello!

I'm Rahul Varma

What can I do for you?

We have a load of apples with us

Healthy and in great condition

And we know that you have two valuable mangoes in your possession

We are worried about them

You should be

They are in a bad condition

They will be gone in a few days

They will be dead soon

These mangoes are in great demand in India

And since you like apples so much why don't we swap them?

An exchange?

You are talking about Kashmiri apples

We are ready to take the entire Kashmir

I was kidding

We like your proposal

We will meet soon

Thank you so much for coming on time yesterday

You are thanking me

I don't know how I should thank you

- I hope this works out - It will

He never breaks his word

He is going to meet President Ayub Khan

If God permits...

Hail, Shriram

Greetings, sir

Sorry to disturb you, sir

You are going back to India

What?

Us?

Yes

Is it true?

Sorry Tariq

I've been very rude to you

- Sir, you got a call - Coming

- I'll be back soon - Ok, sir

And I will back with good news

We are going back, sir

I called you a rascal

Please forgive me

I'm such a fool

Forget about it, sir

- Sorry - We are going back to India

Peace be unto you Tariq here

- General said okay - Yes!

Sir!

Thank you Thank you so much, sir

But not two, only one of them will go

not both

What?

I don't understand

But we talked about releasing both of them

I'll come and talk to you

- Sir, sir, please listen to me - I said, I'll come and talk to you

Hey, Tariq! What did they say?

When are we going back?

Not we

only one

What did you just say?

But you said both of us can go

Are you playing games with us?

Vishnu Sir!

Sorry, sir

Who will it be, sir?

Will it be me?

Or him?

Don't hold a grudge against me and keep me locked up

I'm begging of you I've a family back home

What are you doing? Mr Vishnu Sharma!

Behave yourself

Now it's all clear to me

Both of you are trying to cheat me

Am I right?

You will leave me in this hell and escape by yourself

Isn't that your plan, you orphan?

Have you gone mad?

If anyone is leaving this place it will be you

Not me

Do you understand?

By the way

There is someone who will wait for me until death

I'm not an orphan, sir

I can still hear his cries

I've been living like a dead man for the last 20 years

I wanted to come back at any rate

I didn't want to leave him alone

But I was helpless

Is Ram still in Pakistan prison?

In Operation Grand Slam the Pakistan Army carried out

direct aerial bombing of 12 Indian army coordinates

32 of our soldiers died

Later, the Indian intelligence received information

that Ram had leaked the coordinates to them I'm sure he didn't have a choice

'No room for traitors here'

Even when everybody called Ram a traitor only Sita refused to believe it

Because she knew Ram better than anyone else

Didn't you tell me

that you had nothing to do with Ram?

Do you know why Ram spent 20 years in a Pakistan prison

and I lived a life of torment?

Because of that child's cry he heard that night

Do you know who she is?

It's you

What?

Are you kidding?

If he hadn't heard that cry then

he would have been living happily with Sita today

And I would have been at peace

Waheeda...

Waheeda!

That's impossible

That's my childhood name How do you know?

I want you to hand this letter over to Sita Mahalakshmi

This is my last wish

Who's Ram?

Since when did two enemy soldiers become friends?

Why should I take so much trouble for strangers?

Sir, you must leave immediately or you will miss your flight

You have to take charge in Delhi tomorrow

I'll be there in two minutes You go, wait

Yes, sir!

Ram saved your life

So I don't want you to suffer

It's my responsibility to send you back to Pakistan

Where's Ram's letter?

I'll give it to Sita myself

It's with Balaji

He would have given it to Sita by now

Is Sita in Kashmir?

What is she doing here?

"Even if it takes a lifetime"

"Even if seasons change"

"Two hearts, one day"

"Will ride the chariot of love"

"Every dream will come to life"

"Until then I will wait alone"

Hello aunts, do you know where Noorjahan lives?

No, we don't

Not being helpful at all!

So do you happen to know where Noorjahan lives?

- No, sir - I thought so

Nobody seems to know Sita Mahalakshmi or Noorjahan

Sita Mahalakshmi ma'am lives on that hill

- Over there? - Yes

Can't you hear what I'm saying?

Come here

Madam Sita Mahalakshmi!

- Who are you? - Come

This is Ram's letter

Ram?

It's been waiting for twenty years

"Even if it takes a lifetime"

"Even if seasons change"

"Two hearts, one day"

"Will ride the chariot of love"

To my dearest wife Sita Mahalakshmi

This is the final chapter of our story

This letter took a while to reach you, Sita

Are you mad at me?

I know you are

I've never seen you angry

I don't think I'll ever see it

You had asked me before

if I had forgotten that I had a wife

I'm writing this letter to tell you that I haven't forgotten

You may have heard the rumours about me

None of that is true, Sita

I know you won't believe it

I am not a traitor

Princess Noorjahan is in Kashmir

Find out exactly where she is

That letter should never reach Sita

I'll be back tomorrow after taking charge

Poor Vishnu sir!

He had no choice

I know that better than anyone else

- Sir, we talked about both - But only one can go

Let them decide who will go

Mr Ram

India has abandoned you like an orphan

I can understand what you must be going through

You must be furious at your country, right?

I'm an orphan by birth

but I've never disowned my mother

Vishnu, I know you are ready to die for your country

But have you thought about your family?

They live in Madras, don't they?

That's Akram with them

He's a Mujahideen

Oh!

Congratulations!

You were blessed with a baby girl last week

And the one who is drinking coffee over there is Mustafa

This time he was instructed just to have coffee

But if you don't co-operate,

We will change the instruction

What do you want?

We want the coordinates of your army units in Kashmir

Give it to us and you can go

Just give us these co-ordinates and we will send you back home

I promise!

Don't ask this to Vishnu sir

He isn't like me

You will be dead

Sir, he is convinced

He's ready to give us the co-ordinates

No! Stop!

Don't do it, sir

Don't give the co-ordinates, sir!

Don't do that, sir Please listen to me

Sir, you won't be able to live peacefully

Valid information, Vishnu

If this information is leaked

you will live like a traitor in your country

If you support us, you will live happily with your family

Sir, you won't be able to live peacefully

Don't do it, sir

No, sir! Please, sir!

No!

Vishnu sir!

If you going to kill him Please don't torture him

Give him a soldier's death

Vishnu sir

Sir, you won't be able to live peacefully

I can see you now

I can see those eyes welling up

Wipe those tears away

I can hear you calling me

asking me to come back home

I can hear you even from this distance

Get up, it's time

Quick

Move

I tried a lot but...

Thank you for allowing me to write this letter

Please make sure it reaches Sita

You must forget me

By the time you read this

I may be gone

To my princess who sacrificed everything she had

for this fellow who had nothing

I bid you farewell in this life

Princess Noorjahan!

"Though sinking into unfathomable depths"

"In the darkness of mind-numbing pain"

"One day, we will"

"Reunite on the other side"

Based on the letter written by late Lt Ram, an enquiry is initiated under Army Act 34A

As a result Brigadier Vishnu Sharma drew his own pistol and shot himself dead

Sita Mahalakshmi

Before coming here somebody asked me to apologise
