Original subtitles

But this crazy me believes that I understand those who love.

when they are asked to give, they even give their lives.

Let’s make a deal.

You take my life

I’ll give it to you.

But if you die, who will avenge your father’s death?

So hold on to your life.

You still have to take it

your father’s killer’s life

my brother’s.

And if my brother dies, my mother will die too.

That makes three lives already

And who knows who else might die after that?

Did he agree?

hello!

Have you reached home?

Yes

You didn’t tell anyone that I refused, did you?

Not yet

Then tell them

I’ve agreed now.

In the name of love, I am forgiving my father’s killer.

Okay

Please come

Come here

Please sit here

I’ll make tea and come.

Wait!

I won’t drink tea

I want justice for my daughter.

Tell me, will I get it?

So why you have brought me here?

Should I forget justice and drink tea?

To tell you...

that standing there with a placard won’t get you justice.

Yes, this is exactly what I’ve been trying to make everyone understand, that someone should have the courage

someone should just kill him.

In the name of justice,

someone should risk their life.

You just kill him.

No?

Then..

Bring me a pistol and…

take me in front of him.

Mr. Manto cannot take anyone’s life.

But understand this

we are both as sad for your daughter as you are.

The only one who is truly sad like me is me.

Otherwise..

you would have been standing with me, holding this placard too

Mr. Matloob, I can hold a placard and stand with you anywhere.

That way, you will not get justice.

So tell him the way, Mr. Manto

the way to get justice.

Otherwise, what more can an old man do?

Shall I kill him?

If you say so, I’ll kill him

You will be hanged.

I’ve already been hanged in life,

so I’m no longer afraid of dying.

I don’t believe in taking the law into my own hands, Mr. Manto.

What has the law given this man?

A meaningless investigation.

And then the file is closed.

Because the murderer is the man who has the law tucked in his pocket.

If I say, then will you really kill him?

In that case, instead of ending a crime

a new criminal will be created.

And people will think that a lover killed his rival.

I want justice for my daughter

Justice for my daughter

I want justice

I took the agreement and went straight to your room.

That’s when I realized…

Even today, you’re sitting quietly on my lap

Don’t look at me like that

I feel shy in front of you.

This time there’s something new.

Your spot has even been left for your signatures on the agreement.

You’ve become respectable now.

The agreements of Amritsari's

will now be validated with your signatures.

It has been written that in order to save the future of Amritsaris.

We have sold off Mehmal's today

Give it to me

I feel Hazrat’s curse has struck me.

Here, take this.

The agreement has been signed.

The date for the coming Sunday has been fixed.

Where are her signatures?

Great!

What lovely signatures they are.

Now she will roam around me,

like a deer grazing in the fields.

I will call her out loud.

Mehmal

Mehmal..

Mehmal Siraj Amritsari

Make tea for me

No..

Coffee

I’ve heard she makes excellent coffee.

Right?

Yes

She used to hate my son,

but now she will love him.

She will call him out loud.

Farhad, listen to me

She will come and ask me

It’s been a long time.

Farhad hasn’t come back,

and he’s not answering the phone.

I’m completely devoted!

Whenever I will meet Surraiya

I will tell her.

Your beloved girl is running around my son like crazy

When is he coming?

In a day or two.

He turned out to be a true lover.

Umm..

What was his name,

whose father he killed?

Hazrat

What Hazrat?

that wretch has forgiven him.

These are the signatures of both parties.

The heirs of the deceased have forgiven Farhad Bin Yamin.

Are the heirs present?

Yes sir

Are these the signatures of both of you?

Yes

Have you forgiven the accused?

Yes

Have you also forgiven him?

Yes

I have also forgiven him.

Please say aloud that you are not forgiving him under any pressure or threat.

Not at all!

You should say it too.

I am forgiving him for the sake of my son’s love.

The accused is being released.

Thank you so much, Your honor!

He has been released.

I know

Now, don’t stand on some corner asking for justice

Because justice won’t be served

Justice will be served

Sometimes it takes a long time for justice to be served

Why don’t you go back?

Every time I see you

I writhe in my helplessness, Mr. Matloob.

Here’s the thing

when people start writhing in their helplessness,

then hope for justice begins to stir.

In helplessness…

staying silent is wrong.

It’s not wrong to writhe

Means?

I mean…

you are sitting quietly,

and I writhe.

That means justice will come.

How?

Have you ever read about Newton’s third law of motion?

Yes

It says…

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction

Waiter!

Bring the bill.

What are you doing?

I will pay it in the bill.

No

A person who cannot fight for justice

we shouldn’t even drink the water bought with his money

How much is it?

480

when people start writhing in their helplessness

then hope for justice begins to stir.

In helplessness…

staying silent is wrong

It’s not wrong to writhe

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction

What?

I won’t let this wedding happen.

How?

I came here just to ask that.

What should I do?

If such a thought comes to you… just take a sleeping pill and go to sleep.

You won’t change anything

Why?

The game is over, Mr. Manto.

The chance has slipped away.

Now…

just wait for Sunday.

We’ll go to the wedding together.

We’ll enjoy, have food

and on the way back, we’ll talk.

I'll say..

how beautiful she was looking

And you will tell me

How many times she looked at you before leaving

I am serious!

I won’t let this wedding happen.

Then I will ask, how?

And you will say Tell me, what should I do?

Snatch her away.

If you can snatch a morsel from a lion,

then I’ll agree.

No one is braver than Manto.

He even faced the city goons.

She won’t come with me in this manner

Didn’t you see how she turned away?

I’ll talk to her.

I’ll say, Meet me just once

This will be the last meeting from my side.

You’re feeling love for me?

Yes

Oh..

And you?

I feel it too.

When you look at me now, it feels like I belong to you as well

Don’t you see the shame on my face?

Shame for what?

For the love I’ve had as a mother for just ten to fifteen years,

you’re willing to give up fifty to fifty-five years of your life

I’m so selfish.

To save my son’s life,

I’ve played with my daughter’s dreams.

I could have endured it.

Enough!

I didn’t even learn from Surraiya

she’s lost both of hers

and yet she sits there with patience.

And me.. out of fear of losing just one

I’ve stepped out to sell my daughter.

What do you mean by sell?

Come on, say it nicely.

If by marrying off without my consent

my mother’s son is saved,

my brother’s life is spared

Then its okay

then not only fifty, fifty-five years… I can even bear a hundred years of patience

Don't do this, Mehmal

Don’t make me a sinner in my own eyes.

Please don’t make me a sinner, Mom.

For so long I didn’t listen to you.

I fought with you

even thought you were wrong

And today, when I finally have a chance

So, I’ll wash away all my sins

Come… play the drums, sing the songs of farewell.

Mehmal is going to her beloved’s home.

Oh!

Is this how you send off a daughter?

Cry your heart out, Mom

Good morning!

Roll Number 178

Sana

I am sure, you are 111

And you are..

We’re all here, sir, but we’re not present mentally.

Why?

You are our favorite teacher, sir

But on Sunday, Mehmal will be marrying Farhad

So we’ll all request the dean to assign us another teacher.

Okay… should I leave from here now?

Tomorrow!

Didn’t you have a class?

They won’t take class from me.

They’re protesting against me.

What?

What?

Nothing!

I just felt like sitting with you for a while.

Oh..

You know, because of you, my life’s being saved

But to tell you the truth…

you’ve taken my life away

Oho..

Don't cry

Let me cry

Dad says, ‘Men don’t cry.’

But tell me, should one stop crying just out of shame?

And shame for what?

Don’t say this

I’ll drown and die.

I used to be so proud of myself…

That I’m the son of the biggest don in the city.

An expert in killing and dying. People used to fear me.

And the one everyone feared

you, just one girl, made him afraid.

Stop it!

I used to think that being a girl meant being a responsibility

a useless share in the family’s property.

That the courage, the power, the control.. all belonged to us men.

We control the world

But now I know…

you’re the ones who change the world.

Okay, listen... Today, you’ll listen only to me, Mehmal.

I never hugged you, right?

Never kissed your forehead.

Never brought you any gift.

You brought me bangles once

I’ve still kept them safe.

But now… they don’t fit me anymore.

Are all sisters like you?

Yes

If you give them one little gift, they keep it safe forever?

Yes

What should I do now?

What’s left to do?

I’ve become so small before you

this small!

I feel like sitting all the brothers down and telling them this

You keep searching for your ‘property’ in your wealth and possessions

but sisters… they look for their share of belonging in their brothers.

We’re the ones who should be ashamed

Yes, we should be.

Your hair’s grown long

seems like it’s been days since you last got a haircut.

Get one today, okay?

Hello!

Where are you?

I..

I am at Mall one's food court

I am also coming

No, I’ll just have a coffee and leave.

We’ll both have coffee, Mr. Manto. Just wait, I’m coming.

Okay

Coffee

Thank you!

Did you come here with something on your mind?

No

I just came without any reason

Why? Why did you ask?

He’s here too, with his sister.

Farhad?

Yes

Let him come.

Tomorrow, he’ll be seen with her

In love, the world becomes very small.

There’s always this fear… what if I go somewhere,

and she’s not sitting with him anymore

Not talking to him, not laughing, not being playful with him

You know… just thinking about that

takes my breath away.

I’ve looked at a couple of dresses too.

Oh! Show me

No, I didn’t buy them

In so much sorrow, a new outfit doesn’t feel right.

How much sorrow?

So much that when the students insulted me, I felt..

I deserve this

No Mr. Manto, you don't deserve it

You did everything you can but now..

you can’t really fight goons

And believe me, you may have lost her but

you’ve won her love.

One minute!
