Welcome back, sir!

Thank you!

Thank you..

Thank you again

How are you all?

Sir, we are fine

Yes, okay

Shall I tell something?

yes sir

anyone can sit in that chair now.

I guarantee that she will never come here again.

So nobody will sit here during our session either, sir

we also guarantee that. yaay!

Welcome!

Welcome Mr. Manto. Welcome to the university

Thank you, sir

Sorry, I haven't brought the hospital certificate

I already got the certificate.

The very reason that I’m smiling and talking to you

Means, I have got the certificate

Carry on

Thank you! Okay

Great!

What name did you give for that mister?

Matloob Ahmed

His daughter was murdered

By the same person

It means, you know

And he’s walking free.

Shall I tell you something?

My name is Mekaal Hazrat

And I am not Matloob Ahmed

I won’t be crawling around submitting petitions just to avenge my father’s death.

Mr. Hazrat, liste.. if you think the police are afraid of them, that’s not true.

We are afraid of the bloody feuds between those two groups.

The numbers they quote

are just their own people

they never count the innocent lives lost.

Look..

We won't spare them

I will give you my word

But we will not let innocents be killed along with them, and

I also guarantee that Matloob Ahmed’s daughter will get justice.

When?

Just give me 2 days

Okay

Take three more days

Otherwise I will take matters into my own hands.

In your way many people will die too, but here there are only two real culprits.

Shamrez Amritsari and Farhad Bin Yamin

Please

Trust me

Be careful now, not over there

What game you will play next?

Hazrat’s mother called

she says let Mehmal marry by her own choice.

She is not agreeing for Hazrat

Has that message been delivered there too?

What can I say, mom?

Once something leaves your mouth it goes out

How long does a breath last?

And if it never leaves then?

The decision is yours to make.

You have full right over my breath

See what I decide.

Until then don’t come in front of me.

Looking at your face makes me sick.

One minute, mom!

Why should a girl’s choice make you sick?

Don’t leave without answering that.

Otherwise I won’t be able to bow my head to your anger and hatred.

I will behead you!

Not a threat! An answer.

I already bowed my head;

whenever you want, it can be cut off.

Wait Naseeba!

Will you behead me?

Show some courage now

Are you such an executioner then...

then behead me

I’m standing between you and her.

Be a mother, Naseeba

Don’t become the battleground between him and Hazrat.

You play your game, Gurya.

I will play the rest of the game.

The marriage will happen by her own choice

otherwise she’ll remain at my feet

So, what's wrong in it?

What?

I am asking you, what is wrong in it?

Give me proof

so I’ll believe you

then I’ll go and get angry about it.

and if needed, I shall behead her

Okay

If that’s the case, then why did you kill Surraya’s husband?

I didn’t kill him

My brother had him murdered.

I only went and protested.

He’s gone from this world now, so I protected his honor.

But today I found out something

that same injustice is now daring me.

Why didn’t she go to university?

Should I send her?

Who stopped her?

What is this happening?

Where is she?

Oh!

Why didn’t you go to university?

Will anyone let me go?

Has your mother stopped you?

Aunty?

No

Since when have I ever stopped you?

Don't do this, dad.

I’ll go from tomorrow.

why from tomorrow?

Why not from today?

Go right away!

But its almost 10 am now

Go late today, but go for sure.

Why didn’t Ramish go to school today?

I had stopped him

I said, play with me.

So, where were we?

We were no where, sir

You’ve been sitting here for ten minutes just thinking,

You are not teaching anything

And you didn’t teach anything in your previous class either.

You just kept asking where we left off.

Did I do this?

Am I fine?

No sir

Yes

Sorry..

I think I need a certificate

Excuse me

So basically, I haven’t been teaching just sitting and asking the students where we left off.

Hi sir!

Hi!

May I come in?

If you’ve really come, then come in.

Sir, do you know

I was honestly shocked

Dad himself asked me why I hadn’t gone to the university,

then ordered me to go immediately.

so I am here

Hmm..

Sir, are you alright?

Of-course, no.. I am not fine at all

Why?

What happened?

Oh Mehmal, how did you come today?

I will tell that later

First, tell him that I’m here and sitting right in front of him.

Do you doubt it?

Of course he does.

He can’t believe I’m actually here

He’s been like this since morning

taught two classes but didn’t teach a thing,

Just kept asking again and again, ‘So where were we?’

Shall we go to the canteen?

We can

Come

Why do we have to go to the canteen?

If you want tea, you can have it here.

Please sir, come

It doesn’t look good, we’re in the university.

Come immediately Or I’ll drag you there myself! Hey!

One minute

I am coming

I am..

Hey!

Please come

Brother Shokat..

Brother Shokat..

Yes maam?

Please bring three cups of coffee

Okay, let me bring them maam

Yes, so where were we?

yes tell us

What did you tell his father, and how did you say it?

Umm...

I just said to him

I just said

Say it to me as well

What?

You went and told my father to give me Mehmal.

Say it to me as well

Unbelievable! You didn’t say a word to the person you’re supposed to marry,

and just went off for her proposal.

What if I refuse?

You think I can’t refuse?

No

Mehmal, refuse him

If he still can’t say it in front of you,

then tell him ‘no’ to his face.

say it!

No!

I cannot say it

As I said, nothing will happen

Its my guarantee

Come

You shouldn’t have sent her to university.

Why?

You’re unbelievable!

Yesterday he came to propose her, and today he will teach her

What will he teach and what will she study?

She goes to the university to study,

not upon his provocation

Trust her

I already sorted that out yesterday.

He was sitting inside talking while she paced outside like

someone waiting for exam results.

Maybe she even prayed extra nawafil

girls do that

when fate seems to be writing someone else’s story;

they make vows and pray.

Anyways..

She didn't had to offer them

Will he come again?

Damn him!

huh!

That’s the problem…

You didn’t teach him properly.

Was I supposed to kill him?

She was thinking that too.

When she came to after fainting

she was asking if Sir Manto had died.

He is her teacher

I felt bad that I slapped him.

Forget it now.

He won’t come back

Where are the rest of the students?

Sir, they have boycott the class

What!

Fine!

I will teach you only

take out your note book

Sir, I’ve joined the class boycott too. I was only sitting here to inform you

that everyone outside is waiting for you.

I don't know, what to do now

Either we should do this or..

Be quiet!

Sir should come

Look..

First of all, he will not come

If he arrives, I’ll act like you people have taken me hostage. Okay?

Why?

Try to understand

Saying things like that doesn’t suit me.

Who started this boycott?

I’ll kick them out of the university and rusticate them

No politics of any kind will be allowed here.

Who is doing politics, sir?

We hate politics!

Are you in cahoots with them too?

Oh no, sir

I am just a hostage

Sir, now that you’re here, let’s start negotiations for her release.

Negotiations?

What negotiations?

We’ll have to negotiate, sir. We’ve already decided.

You two will do a court marriage.

What?

Mehmal and Mr. Manto?

Yes sir

Wow!

What's happening..

You’re with them too?

No sir

I am just a hostage

Then listen to me very carefully

Manto could die

but he won’t do a court marriage.

I told you

That’s exactly the kind of answer Sir Manto would give.

But sir

At least you can try again

Now, all of you get back to your classes, okay?

Come in

What is it?

Our fight’s gone on long enough, so I thought I’d tell you straight

in this battle, neither you’ve lost

nor I have won

Leave it!

Changing tactics?

I swear upon Mehmal. No

I’m not changing tactics or laying down my arms.

Sit

We’re both mothers.

You’re the aunt who raised her,

and I’m the birth mother.

I’m the kind of woman

who didn’t even properly breastfeed her for six months

I had even thought of giving my little bird to you to raise.

When your husband was murdered,

I thought..

it would keep your heart attached to her

but you fell in love with her completely.

The loss was that she stopped being mine.

The gain was that

the burden of our daughter in this men’s war lifted from my shoulders.

You really think you were the one who sent her to university?

Are you the one who preached that people should marry for love?

It wasn’t only your doing

I deserve some credit too.

How?

It was the opposition to sending her to university that actually gave the idea wings

that she should go to the university.

Otherwise, if the matter had been put in front of Siraj

he probably would’ve refused

Because of my opposition, Mehmal found the nerve

that she got ready to protest in front of her father.

As far as her love is concerned

you didn’t see it first

I saw it too.

When I saw it, I got scared. Who would let her marry of her own choice?

I’d seen your fate

and didn’t want that to be our daughter’s fate.

I am saying it 'our daughter' because..

I’ve taken back my claim over her

Your husband’s murder created a shame in Siraj

that showed me

you’d become stronger than me.

That’s why I decided to use you to fulfill Mehmal’s wish

I used you at every step.

And now the day has come

that Siraj has no objection to Manto marrying her.

So tell me, who won, and who lost between us?

You!

No

You won.

Your motherhood has beaten the birth-giver

Oh come on!

I swear on Mehmal!

I needed to lose to you,

because even a victory would have felt like a defeat.

And listen!

I will still fight against Manto.

I’ll keep fighting until the day he shows up at our doorstep with a wedding procession.

Now sit down and think.

A mother.. even if she’s like me

never stops being a mother.

I have only one request from you

don’t stop fighting.

Farhad has surrendered.

I know

So be careful

I’m being careful.

Don’t keep Shamrez anywhere near.

Shamrez isn’t with me anymore.

where I had kept him

He left from there and went somewhere else; I’m trying to find him.

Then leave everything and find him.

When trickery comes into a fight, you can’t trust the enemy.

I am trying

Trying?

Trying..

They’ve handed Farhad over to the police. Do you know what that means?

It means he won’t shout a warning before he attacks.

Did you ask him?

I did..

He said the SSP’s deadline was ending.

Khateeja wants her son alive, even

if he spends his whole life in jail

That’s exactly what I was thinking

You were just thinking..

he proved it!

To be honest…

if his intentions were pure,

he would’ve come to you first.

Anyways..

That’s my guess.

A guess…

your guess is right!

Then get ready.

Any hopes of a truce are over.

Yes, Mian jee

Give Mehmal my love and tell Naseeba I send my regards.

Ask her to help you look for Shamrez

mothers have a way of sensing when someone’s missing,

Even this is not reachable

Do you have anyone else’s number?

No

He hasn’t called since yesterday

Please tell Dad

Then leave everything and find him.

When trickery comes into a fight, you can’t trust the enemy.

They’ve handed Farhad over to the police. Do you know what that means?

It means he won’t shout a warning before he attacks.

Move back!

Is he coming to seek your proposal?

How did you find out?

I’ve lived through your age too

When your uncle’s proposal came, I felt the same way.

Even though my mother had already told me

that the suitor would be shown the door right away.

Still, I was so happy.

Like you

When is he coming?

He said tomorrow.

I told him, no! Today.

Today, as in today?

Yes

Then pray two rakats of nafl

and make a vow.

If it works out, you’ll pray ten more.

Not ten

I’ve made a vow for a hundred.

Who's coming to ask for the proposal? Him, or his Maria Chohan?

She’ll be coming too.

Poor girl..

Why poor thing?

She truly loves Manto.

Don't say that, aunty

Oh, Gurya, I count the feathers of a flying bird.

She doesn't even fly

What’s there to be sad about?

The same thing happened with Hazrat

he too was infatuated with you.

So, where is he now?

Love is a game of selfishness.

In it, no one shows mercy to the beloved

Now, show me which dress you’ll wear.

And when Maria Chohan arrives, don’t look at her

like you’re asking

‘Why do you love Manto?’

Come on

Show me, what you are wearing

Come on, hurry up!

She took the entire class with her and walked out to the canteen

I asked why?

and I was told.. 'We’ve boycotted the class.'

What!

Yes

Then the Dean and I went to talk to them.

But they wouldn’t budge at all.

All of them said.. If you want to teach,

then you’ll have to go to Mehmal’s father every single day.

Whether he insults you, hits you, or even takes your life

you’ll have to go there on a daily basis

So where was I during all this?

You were at the bank.

Then why didn’t you tell me on your way back?

I thought you’d think Mehmal was just some cheap girl

And I had already made up my mind that I won't go there

So are you going now?

Yes. And you’re coming with me.

I thought we were going out for dinner.

That was a trick. I lied

Well, I’m not going.

If you don’t, they won’t let me in.

Oh God!

We have to stop this boycott, Ms. Maria.

Come on..

Then let’s stop the boycott

Lets go

Poor girl..

Why poor thing?

She truly loves Manto.

Don't say that, aunty

Oh, Gurya, I count the feathers of a flying bird.

She doesn't even fly

Hurry up! He’s here

Who’s with him?

Maria Chohan! Who else?

Did they sit?

Yes, I made them sit.

But why are you asking all these weird questions?

Just get ready and show your charm

In front of Maria Chohan?

So what if she’s there?

Aunty, now I feel shy.

She truly loves Sir Manto!

Then why has she come here, acting like his friend, to ask for my hand?

Would’ve been better if she hadn’t come at all.

I said it without thinking

and you’re taking it to heart like I meant something serious.

Feels like it’s a bad omen...

what I did with Hazrat,

Manto’s now doing the same with her.

Then let him go.

Go tell her, 'Manto is yours, madam.'

Don't say this, aunty!

Oh Gurya..

Everyone has the right to fall in love...

but only one has the right to be loved.

For you, that one is Manto

And for Manto, that one is Mehmal.

Please come

Please sit

let me inform sir

Tea or coffee?

Coffee

Aren’t you scared?

Of course I am.

That’s exactly why I thought I’d better have coffee quickly.

Good evening!

Good evening..

Please sit

So, you're here with a proposal?

Yes

Did you forget the last slap?

No

That’s the only thing I remember.

Now I know, he slaps

he doesn’t shoot.

He doesn’t shoot guests who come to his house,

so take that slap as a bullet instead

I’m sure he’d never hit a girl.

Never!

It means, Marya Chohan will be safe.

That's enough!

Are you going to refuse then?

Not I

But Mr. Siraj.

Actually I don’t get it.

A teacher marrying a student

doesn’t that strike you as odd?

It does.

But love follows its own whims

It doesn’t follow logic.

So, you’ll keep standing your ground?

I already am!

I even came thinking he might shoot me.

But at least there’s one relief

That he doesn’t shoot guests at his home.

So get ready

and promise me

that even if he does shoot, you’ll still stand your ground.

I already swore.

Means, you have no objection?

I believe a girl's consent matters for marriage.

You know..

Once I decide,

I don’t back down.

That’s what people say..

someone in love

won’t give up.

I’ve asked them to bring the coffee;

It will be here soon.

Whatever he says,

just keep drinking your coffee.

Listen..

You are very nice

Listen!

He’s come with the proposal

I scared him off.

The rest, you handle yourself.

Who let you in?

Today, I’ve brought her along,

so no one stopped us.

Speak up

Why are you here?

I’ve come to say something to you

Go ahead.

Aren’t you scared?

I am, sir.

But your wife told me…

whatever you say,

just keep drinking your coffee.

What?

Will you listen to me?

Go on...

Please, don’t stand in the way of love.

Mr. Manto has come with a shroud tied to his head.

Then let me tell you something…

Mr. Manto has only heard the name of death.

He hasn’t seen it.

I have seen it, sir.

Twice.

The first time, when Bin Yamin abducted both of us.

And the second time, when Farhad shot me.

I swear I saw death then, sir.

As I collapsed, unconscious, I said to myself

'Manto, you’re dead.'

Anyways, tell me

Why have you come today?

She’ll tell you that.

Mr. Manto has come to ask for your Mehmal’s hand in marriage.
