Original subtitles

Come, my child. I’ve been waiting for you for so long.

Look at you…

why are you crying?

Just like that, aunty

My heart just overflowed.

Come!

Come into my arms, my dear, don’t sit at my feet

No aunty..

I’ve been commanded to sit at your feet.

Then keep sitting

My heart wanted to welcome you properly…

but my heart also said…

It won't be able to bear Naseeba's happiness.

But forgive them

Don’t say that, Aunty.

My head rests beneath your shoes.

Lift your head, my dear,

and live life to the fullest.

Have you truly forgiven them?

Yes, I have.

I’ve forgiven them.

Pray that Allah forgives them too.

But the one whose life has been taken…

he never forgives anyone.

Oh brother, she’s engaged now.

I kept quiet for the sake of peace, but a few months from now, I’ll be the one standing there to receive her wedding procession.

Not at all!

I won't do it!

You will have to sacrifice, Farhad.

Just by you stepping back, so many lives could be saved.

Fine then, take the sacrifice

But not like this, that sometimes you gouge out my eyes…

sometimes stealing my dreams.

Give me one blow, take my life once and for all.

That would be a real sacrifice.

I just want to see her.

Why?

let me see her.

Who is this fairy, what magic does she have?

I’ve lost myself to her.

only my actual death is left.

Okay

Show her to me tomorrow.

Talk to Madeeha

Why Madeeha?

She talks to her,

meets her too…

and you just sit there listening to all those words of hers, right?

Yes

Unbelievable!

I feel pity for you.

Say it… that what you feel for me is love

Hmm..

If you go on wrecking this truce,

it won’t be love you receive,

only pity.

I’ve seen my father, Farhad.

He’ll stand by this peace like it’s his faith.

And remember..

A man can go back on his word,

but he cannot turn away from faith.

So understand this well

My game is over

If the truce wins, then I lose Mehmall

No brother..

I may give up my life, but I will never give up Mehmal.

Farhad

Farhad, listen to me Farhad!

Send brother back, Mom.

Dad’s truce is far more unshakable than Farhad’s intentions.

I’ll deal with him myself.

Now that he’s here, he won’t go back

even if it costs many lives?

No one’s life will be lost

These things happen.

It’s just the heat of youth.

In their rage, they claim they’ll set the whole world on fire.

They keep burning within, but no fire ever spreads.

Haven’t you seen your father?

Now he looks like old ashes

no smoke, no spark.

Yet once, he used to tell your grandfather

he would burn the mansions of Amritsar to the ground.

Go

go to sleep

I’ve seen many who make such claims.

They burn and burn, only to extinguish themselves.

Go..

Hello!

Maria..

Yes, Ms. Maria?

Did you take your medicine?

Yes, I did.

And applied it too?

Yes, I’m applying it.

Do you need my help?

No, no, I’ve applied it

Thank you so much!

Alright then, I’ll bring you some food.

Oh no, Ms. Maria, I’ve already eaten.

Did you order from the market?

No

I cooked it myself.

What did you make?

Sandwich.. Club sandwich

Did Mehmal call?

No

She called me

she was asking how Sir Manto is doing.

No, I am fine

It was just a small injury, nothing more.

And what about that kick you got on your back?

Now it feels like maybe that didn’t even happen.

Oh wait! Mehmal’s calling right now

Umm..

Hello!

Yes Mehmal?

Sir..

How are you?

Absolutely fine!

Oh wow!

Thank you for your concern

Sir, what are you saying?

You risked your life for me, and I wouldn’t even care?

Anyway, where have I really risked my life?

It was just some punching around.

You didn’t even throw a punch, sir.

Please forget it!

I want to forget it

But you should have punched him

You should have broken his jaw!

No..

Tell me something, sir

Well, thank God no bullets were fired.

And if they had been? Then?

What if you were shot then?

Hmm, I never thought about that…

Then think now.

Instead of punching, what if he had fired at you?

Four, six bullets… what would people have said? That Sir Manto risked his own life to save Mehmal’s.

Right?

Yes..

That’s what people would’ve said.

But I was the one who struck first.

Yes

You struck first.

So if he had shot me instead,

I would’ve died.

then?

Come on, Mehmal

Even then, you wouldn’t have thrown a punch?

Tell me…

even then you wouldn’t have fought back?

I would’ve been writhing in front of you, taking my last breaths

while you just stood there, watching.

Watching… as my life slipped away before your eyes.

Even then you wouldn’t have hit him?

Stop it, Mehmal!

To hell with him!

Then you’d really be risking your life

I would’ve killed him.

Drained every drop of his blood.

This is the last time he’s ever dared touch your hand, and the last time I’ll ever tolerate it.

Never again!

He said…

Stop it, Mehmal!

I swear, Aunty, he’s never spoken in anger like that before.

Then he roared, To hell with him!

I asked…

So you’d really risk your life?

He said…

I’d kill him.

And this was the last time he’s ever dared to hold your hand, and the last time I’ll ever tolerate it, Mehmal.

Never again!

He’ll fight

What do you mean that he will fight?

He’ll risk his life.

That’s the thing!

I made Sir Manto brave, didn’t I?

you made him brave.

Now think about yourself.

What shall I think about myself?

Will you fight with your father?

Why would I fight my father?

He’s my father, Aunty. He always listens to me.

But this, he will not accept.

He’ll stand there like a sword over Manto’s head.

Why so?

What enmity does my father have with him?

When love is born,

then 8 to 10 enemies are born with it.

And if one of those enemies is a father

and a father like Siraj Amritsari

then love suffers a public defeat, Gurya.

Love?

Where did love come from?

Where did it come from? That wretched thing

It was already there.

You just kept stopping it

and kept running forward,

and it followed you.

But you’re so clever.

You kept running just enough to somehow get into his hands.

Look…

now you've come in his hands.

I’m going to university, Aunty.

Sit here, brother. Order something.

I’ll go find her.

Ok listen!

The girl I sit down with. Just know she’s the one

Okay!

Excuse me, brother!

Yes

Will I get coffee here?

Sure, you’ll get it.

One coffee, please.

Okay, I’ll get it.

Can I ask you something, sir?

Yes, go ahead

You don’t belong here, do you?

No, but how did you know?

Actually, around here no one calls the waiter ‘brother.’

It’s Sir Manto’s class, so let’s meet late

Sir Manto’s class is later today. He’s coming late.

So why are you here then?

To meet you.

Now that both families have reconciled, you should be friends with me too.

Have you seen your brother’s behavior?

I don’t think this peace will last long,

so don’t meet me.

Then say it while sitting down,

and when you leave, tell me it’s our last meeting.

let’s sit in the canteen.

Ok

In our last meeting, I won’t lie to you.

My brother came with me.

Not that one

The one who sees you as his younger sister.

He wanted to see who you are,

and why I’m afraid this truce won’t last.

Where is he?

He’s sitting behind us.

Should I call him over?

Call him.

Come on, brother

She is calling you

Did you already tell her?

Does seeing her make you feel like lying?

No, right?

Hi!

hi!

How do you want me to greet you?

Do you want me to swear on your head?

No no, there is no need of it

Please sit

I just want to say one thing to you

My wish is that on my wedding, Madeeha plays the dholak,

and I play at hers.

That day, I’ll believe we’ve really become friends.

I promise!

Don’t just promise, swear it.

If you truly see me as Madeeha,

then from now on no one will get a chance to attack.

No one? You mean Farhad?

My class time has started, I have to go.

Wait!

I swear upon you

You’re absolutely Madeeha to me.

And I swear

no one will get a chance to attack again.

Go!

You are getting late

Sir, is your aim off today or just your mood?

Both are fine.

But my dad isn’t.

Understand?

To set him right, I’ll have to change tracks.

In Business and planning

You must know

What to do

Why to do

And when to do

Let me give you an example

As Mr. Peter Drucker said once..

X ask Y

Where are you going?

Y replied, I don't know

X said..

There is no need to go

So its very..

Where were you?

Sir, I was told this was your last period, but you..

Who told you that?

Miss Maria did.

I was discussing..

Sir, I’ve been here for the last two minutes, I was right here.

Please have a seat

So, what was I saying..

I have a question, sir

Does that work in love also?

What?

The same, sir

When to love, why to love and whom to love

We are studying business

That’s exactly what I wanted to ask, sir

are the rules of love and business a little different?

Don't you know this?

I know, sir. I meant it for someone else.

But sir, I have a different opinion

And..

What is that?

Sir, I think..

Same rules apply in love also

I mean, you know exactly when you fell in love, with whom, and why.

That’s something! Wow!

Otherwise, everything just remains a fling or a flirt, right, sir?

All good, Mr. Manto? Did you just have a fight with someone?

Yes

With whom?

With the entire class.

Everyone was saying, Today we’ll discuss love

We’ll study business tomorrow.

So tell them, Ms. Maria

I am not a Love Guru

Oh Sir.. Please keep sitting

I came to check on you, to see how you were doing

Miss Maria told me you’d had some sort of accident.

That you were injured.

And honestly, I was shocked to hear

that you grabbed some don’s son by the collar.

Yes sir

Don't tell me, Mr. Manto

I had to do it, sir.

Oh!

I had no choice

So, you are real Manto

No, sir

I’m not that Manto.

I’m just Manto.

Hmm..

The staff is already talking about it.

And everyone is amazed!

How did the staff even find out, sir?

I told them.

At first everyone went, ‘Oh no!’

But once they heard you got beaten up afterwards,

they all burst out laughing.

I mean, if you grab a don’s son by the neck, at the very least, you’ll get thrashed.

You weren’t hurt too badly, were you?

I was, sir.

Its okay

You look quite different to me

but you have to give it to me in writing

What, sir?

Promise me you won’t go on such adventures again.

You know what?

Once the students find out, they’ll start believing that violence is the answer.

then I would resign, sir

What?

I don’t want them to just stand by and watch when situations like this happen.

But the neck had to be grabbed, sir.

What if a gun had been fired?

Do you know what would’ve happened?

Right now, we’d be receiving your dead body

Its so funny, Mr. Manto

A highly intelligent professor of Managerial Theory killed at the hands of a thug

Aren’t you afraid?

I am, sir.

If a bullet is fired, who knows what might happen?

Hmm.. good!

But sir..

Why should only the don’s son fire a gun?

Hmm.. means?

I mean, is there some kind of license to fire a bullet?

So if the don’s son shoots, Manto should just stand there and get hit?

No no sir

That's not fair

Then..

What's fair?

Why should I die so simply?

If he shoots,

then Manto will shoot too.

Do you even own a pistol?

No sir

And even then, you still wouldn’t fire back

These are my orders!

Farhad, slow down!

Farhad, please slow down

Farhad!

So you want me to leave Mehmal,

forget her?

To tell her.. Go Mehmal

from today you belong to someone else

And he should just take her away after marrying her

What’s his name?

Hazrat

To hell with him!

What are you doing, Farhad?

Have you lost your mind? You’re disturbing everyone here.

Don't do this, Farhad

I'll do it

This car will keep moving like this until you change your statement.

Say it! Say that Mehmal is yours.

Seriously Farhad?

She doesn’t even think about you!

I swear, she doesn’t even hate you.

And here you are, going insane in her love.

Stop the car!

The car won’t stop, my brother.

But your brother’s breathing will.

Tell me something

Have you ever even been in love?

No, right?

You don’t know what a girl’s love is, bro.

Once she loves, she decides.

I’ll make her understand.

Just let her sit with me once, for four hours

she’ll realize.

She’ll only sit with you for four hours

when every single man of the Amritsaris is dead.

Oh really? And how many men are there, brother?

Only two.

And one of them is almost dead.

Farhad please!

Who is he?

He is Shamrez

Farhad, don’t step outside.

I swear to you, don’t say a word of nonsense.

I’ll talk.

Shamrez..

How are you, bro?

What’s going on here?

Who’s in the car?

Nothing..

He just got scolded by Dad, so now he’s taking out his anger.

That's it!

He’s your brother?

Yes

Tell him to get out of here.

It’s not right to bother people.

If he only wants to vent his anger,

then tell him to go crash his car into a wall.

Take it easy, bro!

There’s no need to answer anger with more anger.

I’m explaining it to him

And now...

we’ll talk,

not fire bullets.

Okay fine

Take him away.

But I won’t let you go any further from here.

Tell him to turn right here.

This road goes straight to your house.

Fine, you go sit in the car.

Please

Once you’re inside, he’ll calm down faster.

Just turn away thinking that

He’s Mehmal’s brother,

Her real brother.

Respecting him is your duty.

Aunty, he acted as if love doesn’t even exist.

With a sulky face, he said, ‘Should we continue with our topic?’

Then one boy said, “What topic could be more important than love?”

Another added,

“Let’s talk about love today, we’ll study later.”

Hearing this, he got really angry

and shouted, “Who is this?

Who is this? Stand up!

If you have the courage, say it to my face!

For a moment, there was silence, but then the entire class stood up.

That completely shook him.

He kept glaring at them for a while,

and then roared, “Class dismissed!”

Instantly, everyone scattered.

Truly aunty, he’s so fed up with love

Ma’am, Mr. Hazrat has arrived.

Oh, I see. Aunty, I should get going now.

What did you just say?

I said, I should get going, Hazrat has come, right?

No, no.. before that.

Oh, that?

Here you go!

Our story is still incomplete. I’ll continue it once I’m back.

After that, he even met Miss Maria

and said something to her as well.

I’ll tell you about that too when I return.

Dear come, he’s here to meet you.

Greetings!

Greetings!

When did you arrive?

I got here when you went into aunty’s room.

Then why didn’t you tell me?

Just like that

I thought you’d come out yourself.

Tomorrow I’ll meet your dad.

Then we’ll sit and decide.

Decide what?

Our marriage.

When is it happening?

Our fathers will decide that.

Why?

What happened?

Who suddenly came up with this idea?

You?

Of-course not!

I actually came here to see you,

to ask what happened.

Since that day, you haven’t spoken to me or even sent a message.

And when I got here, I met your father.

He immediately said.. Get ready, Mister

I’m marrying you two.

And you agreed?

What else could I say?

That I don’t agree?

I couldn’t have said that

Then you tell him yourself

tell your father that

I don’t agree.

And if I do say that?

Then I’ll also say it

I don’t agree.

Fine then, sit tight

and watch what I do next.

Wait!

Where is dad?

I don't know

He is inside his room, maam

What happened?

I’m going to talk to Dad.

Just calm down!

Won’t you even ask what happened?

I know

Oh wow!

So whatever comes into your mind, you’ll just go and do it?

Control your tongue, be quiet!

We have a son-in-law in the house.

Not a son-in-law, he’s just a fiancé.

Call him that only once he’s married.

Mehmal!

Let me settle this with Dad.

I’m the stone in your path.

First kick me aside, then go talk to your father.

Oh God!

Am I committing some sin?

The way you’re calling on Allah

Mom..

Come, let’s sit and talk.

Move! I’m not so shameless

that I’ll sit down and ask you why you don’t want to marry your fiancé

I do agree, Mom…

but I’m not ready yet.

I’ve seen plenty like you

later they come crying into their aunty’s arms.

Go on, go sit with him.

I gave birth to you.

And giving birth, raising a child.. it all comes with a heavy price

It has to be paid, Gurya.

Mom!

We asked your consent at the engagement.

Now we won’t ask you at every crossroad

whether to turn left or right.

The way is set, dear.

Cry a little now,

and cry the rest when you leave this house.

Gurya

What happened?

What is it?

Nothing, brother! I was just arguing with Mom.

Why?

They’re marrying me off.

So?

I should be the one fighting

Why would you fight?

They’re not marrying me

Keep quiet, he’s sitting inside.

What does she say?

That..

Why are you marrying me?

Why so?

That’s how it is nowadays.

Once girls go off to university, they get carried away with all sorts of whims and fancies

After marriage, that won’t be possible.

What kind of whims?

The usual.. friends, gossip, hanging out, all that.

Then sit her down and ask properly

does she not want to get married at all, or does she not want to marry Hazrat specifically?

Why should I ask that?

Does she even have the courage?

After announcing her engagement with all the drums and trumpets, you think she’ll suddenly say she doesn’t want him, she wants someone else?

Let her say it then.

And if she does, will you accept it?

I’ll have to accept that Siraj Amritsari’s honor is at stake.

Have your tea, sir.

How?

You’re staring at me so angrily.

Leave me, sir

you’re at your in-laws’ house.

Meet your fiancée, eat pastries, and have fun.

By the way, can I give you a compliment?

I’ve been holding it back for a while.

Yes yes, sure..

You’re worse than the girls

you don’t even have any plans

If a wedding planned for two years later is suddenly fixed for two weeks from now, you’ll just nod along?

You won’t protest even a little?

Why not? What’s the big deal?

That’s exactly my point. What do you care?

I can’t say no in front of my elders.

Today your father said it, tomorrow my own father will say it.

And I can’t just pipe up and say, ‘No, sir, I need my two years.’

Honestly, even two weeks feels too long to me.

Let it happen then.

The later the wedding, the later love will start.

How so?

Does marriage mean I’ll suddenly fall in love?

My mother sat me down and explained

she said even the greatest fall in love after marriage.

And what’s Mehmal in comparison?

She really said that?

No no..

That last line was mine

but that’s what she meant.

Fine then, go ahead with the wedding.

It should happen within two weeks,

otherwise I’ll show you exactly what Mehmal is.

Listen!

So are you agreeing to this, or are you challenging me?

You gave the challenge.

I’ve agreed
