Original subtitles

-PM… -Down! Down!

-Remove PM Hakeem Khan! -Save the nation!

Shabaz Alam taking charge of the jail is like the calm before the storm.

The real storm had already begun in Pakistan!

Drought and unemployment intensified public frustration

towards the government and the prime minister.

Protests turned into rebellions!

Overthrowing the government, the army took control of the country.

Listen!

All of you, move back! Don't come forward!

Charge!

-Hello! -Hello, Fatima!

Where are you?

At home!

The situation outside has worsened!

The government might fall anytime!

Is this the first time we are going through something like this?

Better you return home quickly.

Okay.

Though late, the fishermen are coming back.

How do you feel about this?

We are very happy.

The whole village is anxiously waiting for their release.

That's why we have come here to give these sweets to the minister.

-I'll take your leave. -Okay.

As you can see, their joy has no limits.

It's because their loved ones are returning to them after a long time.

We shall keep you informed about the proceedings

once we hear from the minister.

-Cut. -Hey, wait…

Madam, I want to respond!

Do you have any family members among those trapped there?

No, ma'am.

The guy who promised to get his daughter married to me is trapped there.

Turn off the camera.

What did I say? Why is she annoyed?

Sir,

Ganga is here to meet you.

-Send her in. -Okay, sir.

Sir…

Thank you so much for getting our people back.

-Take these sweets. -No, dear!

Your people are very unlucky.

What do you mean, sir?

What happened?

Things have gone beyond our control.

Sir, we don't understand what you are trying to imply.

Pakistan's government has fallen.

It is under the army's control!

I'm unsure whether the release orders

for our people will be implemented.

What are you saying, sir?

What's the connection between

the fall of their government and the release of our people?

When your house is on fire, would you help your neighbors?

Until the situation there returns to normal,

no one will care about their release.

I'm sorry, dear.

If I get any news, I'll keep you informed.

You may leave now.

Sir…

Didn't I tell you that I'll inform you?

Leave.

-Narayana… -Yes, sir!

The press is waiting downstairs.

Are they done with their breakfast?

Yes, sir!

-Tell them I'm coming. -Okay, sir.

Ganga, did the minister specify when your people will be set free?

They'll never get released!

What?

What happened?

Ganga… Ganga…

Pakistan's government has fallen,

they don't know if our people will be released or not.

Pakistan's government has toppled,

the families of those fishermen…

PM Hakeem Khan's governance has been denounced.

There is panic on the streets.

The State reigns are now being controlled by General Khurshid.

General Khurshid will now speak to you.

Greetings!

Today is a new dawn for Pakistan.

Our nation is now free from the corrupt and incompetent government.

Now the new government under our control shall work

relentlessly for the prosperity of this wonderful country.

May Allah bless us, Hail Pakistan.

Umar Sharief.

Don't you want Pakistan to progress?

Go. Get back to work!

Police? To my house?

-Move along! -Why?

Leave me.

SI sir…

I think you are new here. You don't know about me.

I know very well about you.

Listen to me, sir.

Let's discuss this like mature adults. What's this?

Look, everyone's watching.

Sure. We'll talk in the station lock-up. Come.

Why are you arresting me, sir?

Don't act smart in front of me.

Should I tell you the reason?

You are making those kids do all your dirty work

and now look at you, acting all innocent!

Sir, people will say a thousand things about me.

How can you believe all that?

Why would we believe an anonymous claim?

Those kids have mentioned your name.

Those kids?

Sir, they are known to make up such stories.

Hey, will you get in the vehicle, or do you want us to drag you to the station?

You don't have to trouble yourself, sir. I'll get in.

Hey, it seems like our boys are in some trouble.

I'll come back soon.

-You seem to be very sincere, sir. -Move!

Move! Get into the vehicle.

Move aside!

Come out, you all.

Move out!

Idiots!

I tried to help you…

-and you ratted me out? -Go inside.

CI sir?

CI sir?

Where is he?

Did they arrest him as well?

Oh, God!

Assemble these six spies on the ground.

I want all the Indian prisoners to witness this spectacle.

Dismiss!

Do you see these enemy agents?

These traitors are the reason for the chaos in our country.

No. No, sir!

These scoundrels disguise themselves as one of us

and are leaking our confidential information to our enemy states.

Because of this, our nation and our army are facing hardships.

No…

Sir…

I have an excellent punishment for these rats in my rule.

-No, sir! -No…

-Sir, spare us… -Sir… leave us, sir!

-I'm innocent. Please leave me. -Leave us, sir…

-No, sir, please let me go, sir. -Sir, we didn't do anything. Let us go.

-Sir! -Sir!

I didn't do anything, sir!

-Sir… -Sir, what is this?

Sir!

Sir… Sir…

Sir… Sir…

I am living with one leg.

Do you know where my second leg is buried?

It is in the valleys of Kargil.

Sir… Sir…

Sir… Sir…

I didn't do anything, sir!

That debt is yet to be paid.

Sir… Sir…

No, sir!

-Oh, God! -Sir…

This is wrong, sir!

This is wrong.

Their cases are still pending in the court.

Is this your law?

There is only one punishment in my law for such people…

and that is death!

But no one has the right to kill innocent people.

Not even you!

Doesn't matter if he is a Pakistani or an Indian, or from any other country,

Every life is precious, sir!

Brother Prathap has done nothing wrong.

He is just a driver.

Spare him, sir.

-Spare him. -You have a sharp tongue!

-Sir! -Sir…

Sir…

Sir…

Shoot, sir!

Shoot me, sir!

-Sir, please, sir. -Please spare him.

This is not the right time, sir!

Not in front of everyone!

We'll take care of him later.

Think it through, sir!

Relax, relax!

Sir!

You shouldn't lose hope, Ganga.

You need to stay strong now.

Let's pressure the government.

What can they do in this matter?

It's our bad fortune…

What an irony!

Why did the government collapse exactly at

the time they were about to be released?

Why should they be stranded there?

Our lives are ruined.

Ganga,

listen to me.

The government will do anything for the country.

A country means people.

If these people stand with us,

the government will go to any extent.

Majority makes the law here.

Is that possible?

And, who would listen to me?

Even our people from the two villages won't unite.

How can I expect the whole nation to rally behind me?

You speak up.

I will spread your voice across the nation.

Ganga, shall we start?

Come on.

My name is Ganga.

We reside in a village called Matsyawada, located in Coastal Andhra.

Fishing is our livelihood.

When you visit a seashore,

you may have seen a tiny dot far away on the horizon, that's us.

Nobody knows about our existence.

Without a jetty in our village, many of our fishermen

have lost their lives due to monstrous waves.

But nobody heard our cries.

Still, we never forfeited our job.

When our sea doesn't give us the opportunity, we travel to Gujarat.

There, we take the money offered by the seths

and go on a fishing expedition for them.

If one of us dies there during the expedition,

we shed tears for a few days,

and then get back to fishing again.

We got used to this life!

Our family members who had gone to Gujarat

for livelihood got caught by a foreign nation.

They have been rotting in their jail for many months now.

Whose fault is this?

Whom should we question?

The government, who never paid heed to our necessities

or the fishing companies who see no

difference between fishermen and their boats?

Or the government of our neighboring country?

I know there is no use in crying my heart out.

But pain knows no difference, does it?

Isn't everybody's struggle the same?

Please think about it.

Support me in this fight…

and stand with me.

Ganga!

Ganga…

Ganga, you are great.

The whole country knows about your problem now.

Your video has gone viral.

You won't believe me,

but this is the truth!

-Millions of views and still counting. -Is it?

Yes, Ganga.

Trust me.

Why don't you understand?

We can't take any more risks.

You can see for yourself, the whole nation has heard her.

If that girl utters even a single word against us,

we would be tagged as careless,

and that we don't care about the lives of the fishermen!

And if that happens,

no one will come forward to work for us.

What to do then?

-Sir, sir! -Sir.

-Sir! -Please! Please have patience!

Look,

the fishermen who sail in the ocean to fish for our company…

become a part of our family.

I understand the families of the fishermen who have

been caught, must be going through a tough time.

And… I stand with them in their grief!

That's why our company has decided that all the families of the fishermen

who were caught will receive one lakh each as compensation.

And I promise you all

that the families of the fishermen who were caught,

wherever or whenever…

if they are in need of anything…

our company will take care of that and support them.

Thank you.

-Thank you very much. -Sir… Sir…

-Please, please… Excuse me. Please. -Sir…

Did you summon me, sir?

At ease!

Umar Sharief,

please carry out the rounds around the jail.

Go on…

Saleem, I'm responsible for every one of you in this jail.

Your pain is my pain.

If anyone dares to even think about raising their hand at you,

I'll not spare them.

The tiff between you and Badiri has come to my attention.

No prisoner should have the guts to touch an officer's revolver.

I think you deserve a chance for revenge.

But, sir…

You will take revenge.

I have decided that for you.

And I'll be hurt if you refuse me.

Sir.

I have also sketched a plan for this.

Moin!

Yes, sir!

Sir, what did you…

Take him to the hospital.

Badiri snatched my gun and tried to shoot at me.

To save me, my bodyguard threw himself in the line of fire and got shot.

You will be the witness for this…

and make sure Badiri rots in this jail forever.

Suleman…

Put Badiri into the solitary cell.

Okay, sir.

How often do you eat?

And how much do you eat at a time?

Good.

If you eat that much, then you must take medicines as well.

Alright?

You can leave!

Madam,

-did you call for me? -Yes.

I wanted to show you something.

This video has gone viral, and the whole nation is talking about this.

My name is Ganga.

We reside in a village called Matsyawada located in Coastal Andhra.

Fishing is our livelihood.

When you visit a seashore,

you may have seen a tiny dot far away on the horizon, that's us.

Nobody knows about our existence.

Without a jetty in our village, many of our fishermen

have lost their lives due to monstrous waves.

But nobody heard our cries.

Still, we haven't forfeited our job.

When our sea doesn't give us the opportunity, we travel to Gujarat.

There, we take the money offered by the seths

and go on a fishing expedition for them.

If one of us dies there during the expedition,

we cry for a few days…

You know her?

-…and then get back to fishing again. -Yes.

What is she to you?

My life.

I assume she would not lead a peaceful life

until and unless you go back.

She is very stubborn, madam.

She can do anything.

-Hanief spoke to her. -Yes, madam.

As per Hanief,

the release orders that you got earlier were because of the efforts from Ganga.

Madam,

can I…

speak to her once?

Give me a minute.

Okay, madam.

Hello.

-Yes, Fatima. -Yeah.

-I wanted to ask you something. -At your service, my queen!

Badiri, the inmate,

seeks to speak to Ganga.

Don't you know it's illegal?

Impossible!

Hanief, please be empathetic.

Imagine if these people are trapped here forever,

then this might become the most cherished moment of their lives.

Okay.

I'll ask Ganga to call you right away.

Not a voice call, but a video call.

-Fine! -Thank you, Hanief.

-Sit down. -Yes.

Answer the call.

Ganga…

I won't talk to you.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Is that why…

you never wrote me a single letter?

I waited for your letter every single day.

That's what concerns me!

You'll wait for me forever!

I'm not sure whether I'll return or not!

I thought if I didn't write you letters, you'd forget about me.

How can I forget you?

Just like you can't take out the salt from the sea,

nobody can take you from my heart.

Do you think I'll leave you just like that?

Now I am pretty confident…

that you would get us all back anyhow.

Badiri…

Someone's coming.

Okay, madam.

Ganga, I have to leave.

Hereafter, we are not allowed to write letters to our families.

In that case,

everyone will forget about us in a few years.

That will not happen.

Ganga is fighting for us.

Who?

-Our Ganga? -Yes, uncle…

Now the whole country is talking about us.

Ganga has made the entire nation know about our problems and hardships.

Fatima madam showed me the viral video.

Does that mean we'll get out of here?

Certainly, Joga…

Ganga will definitely get us out of here.

Hey…

Our Ganga is really great.

She loves our village very much.

Yes, you are right.

Despite all of us men being present in the village…

we never fought for the welfare of each other.

But…

Nanaji,

your daughter is great!

Till now, I used to believe that a girl is…

a burden to every father,

but today,

when I know what she is doing for us,

I feel like God has gifted Ganga to save me from my misery.

It's okay, uncle.

Ganga! You all know her!

Ganga's speech has gone viral,

but,

this government is still unresponsive to it.

It is very important to save our fishermen trapped in Pakistan.

And I can do anything for it…

Another headache to bear!

Mr. Susheel, this is Charan Mukherjee speaking.

Sir.

Some girl has started a protest in favor of the trapped fishermen.

And the opposition has also joined her now.

You will have to do something, Susheel.

Sir, you know it.

I've tried all the ways and got them out.

But at the last moment,

the government here fell apart.

What can I do now, sir?

I know that.

But the public here won't buy that, will they?

Do something…

else, we both will be chastised by the high command.

I know, sir.

If required, I'll speak with the prime minister directly.

-Just… Just give me a day, sir. -Okay.

Thank you.

Get him!

-Hey, Hey! -Where are you taking Badiri to?

-Badiri! -Move aside!

-Badiri! -Where are you taking him?

-Move! -Hey!

The hatred he nurtured towards our country,

killed the human within Shabaz Alam.

After conspiring against me, he threw me into a solitary cell.

Sir.

Sir, what did I do, sir? Sir--

And you are?

Sir, I am Advocate Hanief Hussain.

I work with Mulk-e-Dosthi NGO.

Mulk-e-Dosthi?

Oh, yes!

-I know your NGO. -Yes.

Have you sided with India?

No, sir.

I stand by humanity and nothing else.

I stand by humanity as well.

Mr. Susheel.

I'm sorry, but…

the government has made a decision and…

my hands are tied. I…

I can't do anything.

Inayat ji,

I knew your answer.

That's why I have come up with a proposal.

Exchange of prisoners.

There are hundreds of Pakistani prisoners in India.

We'll release them in exchange for the Indian prisoners here.

This will be a win-win situation for both countries.

A few of these people don't have proper documentation…

but still, we are ready to release them as an act of friendship.

What is this?

This is…

It's a very long list.

It's very complicated.

And imagine the paperwork that will go behind this.

Sir, years have gone by waiting for the paperwork to be done.

Just because of one missing paper,

these people have become a memory for their family's future generations.

Please give it a thought.

I'm not siding with the Indians.

We have our people on the other side too.

Think like this…

You can bring happiness to several families in Pakistan,

by bringing their loved ones back to them.

This issue is above the differences between India and Pakistan.

Sir, this is about humanity.

Susheel,

this is beyond me.

Even though I am sitting on this chair…

I don't have the authority to take this call.

Inayat ji,

what are you saying?

It's not possible for you?

All the ministers of the previous government

are either arrested or have fled the country.

You are the only one

who has retained his position.

I know that

you are a good human and…

you love your nation very much.

This is the right time to prove it

by reuniting the innocent people with their families.

If the leaders decide, the problems resolve easily.

Even the toughest tasks will get resolved in minutes.

What will be unresolved when the two governments think similarly?

That's the reason,

the issues between India and Pakistan came to an agreement.

It blessed us.

It relieved us from the jail.

The release order of the Indians.

Hello.

-Hello. -Brigadier sir,

this is Shabaz Alam from Mandhi Jail.

-Tell me. -What is this, sir?

What happened now, Shabaz Alam?

We cannot release these Indians so easily.

It's the government's decision.

India too is releasing a lot of our prisoners.

Sir, many of them might be spies.

We can't let them go so easily.

This decision has been made

after taking all implications under consideration.

This is not a war, and you are bound to follow the government's orders.

Brigadier sir,

you know me very well.

I'll not let this happen as long as I am stationed here.

You know me better.

Just follow the orders!

Suleman,

get Badiri to the ground.

Okay, sir.

Bring him to the ground.

-Sir, sir! -Sir, let him go!

-Sir, sir! Badiri… -Sir, let him go! Sir…

I have release orders for all of you.

But I won't let any of you get out.

Especially you.

I made a grave mistake by not killing you that day.

-Sir… -Sir…

Saleem, snatch his gun away.

Yes, sir.

Shabaz Alam,

you are under arrest!

Umar Sharief, have you lost your mind?

Do you realize who you are talking to?

Do you know how dire the consequences will be?

Have you lost it?

What are you saying?

You will arrest me?

Yes.

We received a call from General Khurshid's office.

You are suspended and arrested with immediate effect.

Make way. Move!

Please move!

What is my crime?

I'll show you what you did.

Who are you?

He is Mr. Susheel, Indian High Commissioner.

Sir… Please spare me… Sir…

The whole world has witnessed this video.

Millions have seen it.

General Khurshid has been getting multiple calls.

The Western countries want your immediate arrest and trial.

You are a psycho, Shabaz!

You being free is a danger to your own country.

I'm sorry, it is not my territory,

but it's my responsibility to make sure my prisoners are safe.

I don't know whose idea it was to shoot your atrocities

and show them to the world.

Take them inside!

Who are you? Where are you taking me?

Leave me.

Saleem sir,

what's happening?

I don't know, Badiri.

But something wrong is about to happen.

Shabaz Alam has even ordered

to shut down all the CCTV cameras in the jail.

-Saleem sir! -Yes?

Sir, do me a favor.

Because of that, not just these fishermen,

but all the Indian prisoners are being released.

Saleem, take him away now.

Let's go, sir.

You too, Suleman.

Bhadrapatnam's fishermen!

You'll be released soon!

Wait…

Not only them,

but all the Indian prisoners will be freed soon!

Immediately start the paperwork.

I want it as soon as possible.

I'll call you back!

Greetings, madam!

You asked us to visit you urgently.

Who is he?

Madam, I'm Sekhar.

I'm no one to Ganga.

I'm just accompanying her.

Ganga,

the central minister wants to speak to you!

That's why I called you.

Sir,

that girl Ganga is here.

Greetings, sir!

Greetings!

Congratulations, Ganga!

All of your people are getting released from jail.

In a few days, they'll step foot on the Indian Soil.

The Ministry will inform you about the date soon.

The Government will arrange for your travel to the Wagah Border!

Aren't you happy?

Very much indeed!

You got them back by facing a lot of difficulties.

But, the next year,

what if our people get caught while fishing?

What will you do?

If they get killed in their hands, what will you do?

Can you bring their lives back?

The issue is not getting trapped in Pakistan.

The problem is not having a proper livelihood in our villages.

Till that issue exists, the same is going to happen every year.

You came to know about this just now! That's it!

Ganga, I know about your issues!

Actually, I called you to share some good news!

The government has decided to set up a commission

to provide jetties to you and other coastal villages.

Thank you, sir!

God bless you, child!

-Congrats! -Thank you, madam!

They captured us as prisoners and said goodbye to us with garlands.

They made us board the bus.

It takes 24 hours to reach the Wagah Border.

Surprising! What are you doing here?

We are here to give compensation to the fishermen!

Oh, really! That's great!

Madam, that's the greatness of our boss!

What is this, sister?

Pakistani fishermen have arrived.

Why haven't our people arrived yet?

They will…

You wait!

Don't worry!

Look, Chinna, our people are coming!

Guards! Open the gates!

Stand in line for the photograph!

Brother!

Dear Ganga! Chinna! Polee!

As you can see, all the families of the released fishermen are elated with joy!

To add the cherry on top,

the government has proposed to sanction the jetty for the fishermen.

This is the moment the entire nation has been waiting for!

There's no limit to their happiness.

You can see it on their faces.

They had been waiting for this moment,

-for about one and a half years. -Hey, Badiri, come here.

-The wait is over now. -I am alive because of him.

-This is my daughter. -Hey, Nanaji!

I'll be right back!

-Congratulations! -Sir.

Mr. Naren Shaw is offering you all compensation!

Badiri!

Compensation!

Okay.

Are you crazy?

-Do you know why he slapped you? -No.

Why?

Because…

we're not robbers!

We're fishermen, sir!

Are you happy now?

Shall we leave?

Dear Ganga.

Go and meet Badiri.

I'm not the same person anymore!

I've changed!

I'll personally see to it that your wedding happens with Badiri!

He is a gem of a person!

Go, dear!

Go.

Returning to India is like taking another birth!

What should we do in this lifetime then?

Ganga and I will become one!

Our lives are free from quarrels.

There won't be any dispute between the villages.

The jetty we dreamt of is finally arriving.

But will that end all our problems?

What about the awareness?

Aren't education, knowledge, awareness,

the foundation of the future?

We must work for those!

We must utilize the freedom we were given.

That is the path Ganga and I must follow now!
