Original subtitles

Is the counter open yet? - Yes.

I hear that Vikram is here. - Yes.

Are you here to buy the book?

Actually, I just enjoy waiting in queues!

Chill man.

What an interesting book, at his age

It's truly commendable.

I've recommended it to all my friends from the kitty.

Excuse me, I have this important flight to catch so can I please...

Yes, sure. - Thanks

Papa, let's go for 'Spiderman'

No, let's buy the book for your mother first and then leave

Thank you.

Papa is right son, let's first buy the book...

...and we will leave for the movie.

I loved 'Nanhe Jaisalmer', it's an amazing book.

And Vikram is so cute. I would like a signed copy.

Excuse me, I'll miss my flight, please may I stand ahead of you?

Thank you.

It's an inspirational story

International Booker Prize. Papa, is he only 21?

Some people achieve fame at a young age.

Hey Roby. - Hey Amit, what's up bro?

Found it? - Yeah, I bought three copies but they all got pinched.

Nice cover! - Hey man, this is amazing.

Hey, hey... - Yeah! Yeah! I'm coming Jam!

Yeah! it's a surprise for you.

Surprise for you honey...

Hi. I'm Ashish

I want the rights to this book.

So you can make a film on it?

Excuse me. I've an important flight to catch. Can i get ahead of you.

I've been standing here since five in the morning.

Please?

Thank you

Thank you

For my mother

Sir, are you Vikram, the author?

Yes

The book has been in the spotlight. I've put up three billboards.

I am very pleased to finally meet you.

Have you read it?

Sir, I'm not educated and my work keeps me away from books.

I can understand.

But Sir, I would love to hear the story some day.

Why not today?

Now? - Yes.

This is the story of a young boy from Jaisalmer, in Rajasthan

Whom I met 11 years ago.

The best tourist guide and camel boy from the region- Nanhe Jaisalmer

Raja, sit, sit.

Safari! Safari! Safari!

Nanhe spoke many languages - French, Italian, German, English.

This is Bada Baug.

When members of the royal family pass away, they are cremated here.

And his grandson makes an umbrella-shaped monument...

...to mark the occasion.

What if I die, Nanhe?

You don't look like royalty, but I can make you!

Smile please.

Hey Nanhe, tell us about this lake.

This is Ghadisar Lake, made by King Ghardsi for drinking water.

That's a lot of drinking water.

Yes, lots of drinking water.

But now no one drinks it.

It's Jaisalmer's biggest swimming pool.

People use it to wash clothes, to boat.

And little kids use it to pee while swimming.

Even I do!

Nanhe was not just a tourist guide, he could make friends instantly.

Children are innocent, you know.

Jaisalmer is known for its royalty, heritage, culture...

...sand dunes and the desert but the safari is the best.

What is England famous for?

England is famous for the Queen.

That old lady? Someday I have will come...

You must. You know so many languages, who taught you?

One pen. - One-pen? A teacher?

Teacher, teacher.

Hurry, chase her Motu.

One pen, one pen... Ma'am one pen...

What's your name?

What does that mean?

'Bonjour' means hello, 'Comment tut 'appelles' means what's your name.

Your name. your name. - Okay, I understand.

That's how we pick up languages, got it?

That's good.

Nanhe entertained all the tourists.

Greetings (in the local language of the region)

But who was Nanhe's source of happiness?

His dearest friend.

Tonight at seven...

Nanhe don't forget! Tonight at seven, your friend Bobby Deol's film.

How can I forget, it is my friend's movie.

Nanhe, I've composed a new verse. Sit and listen.

Let me clean your glasses first.

Definitely.

Now, let's hear it.

It would be tomorrow had I sat down to listen.

Hukadi banna, what news?

News...

Four terrorists killed in Ajmer, mayhem in the Parliament.

Anything from the world of film?

Film world?

Launch of Madhuri Dixit's new film.

Anil Kapoor's shooting...

Is there anything about Bobby Deol?

No.

Of course there is! It's his film screening today.

This evening at seven watch Bobby Deol's 'Soldier'

I hope you'll be there.

He isn't such a good friend of mine.

That's true. And you all?

No pal, I have a safari this evening.

What about the rest of you? - Maybe.

How many of you took a safari today?

Who went?

Motu had gone.

Bheema and Feroze too.

In fact, Nanhe took the first safari.

Ashu also took one.

All of us did.

I have told you time and again...

...that the first safari is mine, so why did you go?

Stop!

Start walking like chickens...

Run. Come on Nanhe, run.

Taking me on?

Raja, when I grow up, I won't spare this fellow.

Ma, get me the jaggery.

How was the safari?

It was good. English folk, they've invited me to England.

And why won't they? You are the next Kohinoor after all!

Excuse me!

Take this 300 for the safari and 50 for the tip.

Go wash up, I'll get you some food.

I will get late. I have to meet my friend at seven.

We are set to meet after long...

You really make me wait far too long.

It's been a month. But we shall definitely meet tonight.

When will you get over this madness of watching films?

Never! As long as it's my friend's film, I will watch it.

Look Nanhe, if you go on about your 'friend',

I will have to send you to an asylum.

But he's my friend.

Look, at the affection he has for me.

You were four years old when he came here for a shoot.

Just because he held you in a scene and...

...called you 'buddy' does not make him your friend.

Think about it, Jaisalmer is full of children...

...but he chose me amongst all.

That is because he saw something special in me.

Our friendship has a certain equation.

I am the best camel boy and he is the best actor.

He probably doesn't even remember. Bobby Deol is a famous actor-

...everyone can't be like him.

But I don't want to be an actor.

Though I will go to Bombay to meet my friend.

And look, I have been saving money to take him a present.

You look at the moon and talk of reaching for the stars.

The moon is at my window everyday.

One day I'll just take a step up and reach for my star.

May I leave now?

Take this, for your movie.

Can you please put this back?

Where is Nanhe? The sun has almost set.

How does it matter? You've already downed a quarter bottle.

Hope we don't miss the heroine's opening sequence.

Yes, she will emerge from the screen and come after you.

Nanhe. - Mother's coming - Yes

Whose tobacco is this?

What? Oh, this. - Yes.

Is not mine. Raja is fond of this stuff.

When will you quit this habit?

Let's get out. Let's get out.

Run Khemaji, run. Let's get away quickly.

You don't even make friends of your age.

Here's my friend

Nanhe.

Khemaji, when will the heroine appear?

Here she is.

You damaged my car. If you don't know how to drive, why do you?

Her voice sounds so much like Ma'am's.

You find every actress's voice like Ma'am's.

Are you lot here to chitchat or to watch the film?

Nanhe, we are here to keep you company.

You are not here for me.

You are here to hide from your wife and gulp your 'medicine'.

And Jassuji is here to hear the heroine's voice.

Now stay quiet and let me watch the film.

No, I don't want your love.

No, I don't want your love.

No, I don't want your love.

I don't want your love.

Tony.

"Beloved, I don't want your heart..."

Raju.

Mother. - Raju.

Don't cry you'll make me sob too.

I kept you away from me for 20 years...

Hit him, friend, hit him hard.

Raju.

Mother.

Hit him, friend, hit him hard.

Hit him some more.

I had sworn to kill you mercilessly.

This is fun.

Or the lap of the motherland.

Friend you are a hit.

Wow, it's a great movie.

The heroine's voice is beautiful.

Nanhe, how was your friend, Bobby Deol's, movie?

Here's your superstar's poster.

Why are you driving with your eyes closed?

I am driving with one eye shut because...

...if I keep both open, I can see two roads.

Will you be able to handle this?

Why, what do you think? Do I look drunk?

You are not drunk but be careful.

Watch out. - Be Careful

This vehicle seems to weigh less.

Jassuji!

Khemaji!

Jassuji!

I hope you are not hurt.

I was sure that the auto weighed less.

Speed breakers are invisible to the best of us.

Sister.

Sister. Sister.

Let's go please.

Write. - Now?

Please write

My dear friend...

...I watched your movie and you gave the bad guys a good beating.

I had another argument with my mother.

She thinks I want to come to Bombay to become an actor.

I think she is crazy.

This is inappropriate.

How else do you write it?

Mother is mistaken that...

So write that then. How is your shoot?

I am a little busy since it's high season time. What have you written?

...it's season time

I've been thinking I'll sport a hairdo like yours.

Quit kidding yourself, you look like a monkey.

Sister, when I wet my hair and comb it back, Mother says I look smart.

Yes, an important piece of news

Mother has found a groom for my sister.

Why do you look coy?

Why do you want to say this?

Because he knows you too.

That's all, rest tomorrow.

Best wishes from Nanhe Jaisalmer and Raja Jaisalmer.

Raja Jaisalmer.

Come sign here.

Had you studied a little, you could have written your own letters?

Then what would you do?

You're ten and you can't even write your name.

But I can speak four languages.

There is a difference between speaking and writing.

People get educated to earn a better living, and...

...I am earning already so why should I study?

Yeah... whatever, go add a tally mark to your letter count.

This saving is for you.

love, love, you are my life

love, love, you are my life

always stay close to

always stay close to my heart, stay close to my heart

Friend you are a hit.

love, love, you are my life

love, love, you are my life

love, love, you are my life

I live because I sense you

always stay close to

always stay close to my heart, stay close to my heart

love, love, you are my life

love, love, you are my life

always stay close to my heart, stay close to my heart

love, love, you are my life

love, love, you are my life

Friend. Friend.

Friend. Friend. Friend.

Friend. Friend.

Mother?

You've been dreaming of him again.

Today I was so close to him that...

That Bobby Deol was about to hug you.

Had I told him that I am Nanhe Jaisalmer, forget the hug...

...he would've taken me in his car.

What time is it?

Uncle.

You are late again today.

I would have been late had I missed you.

Have I ever sent out mail without your letter?

Ma'am, safari?

Ma'am, safari? - Yes.

Hey, Nanhe!

Yes Ma'am, he will take you.

Alright, thank you.

Come on, tell me where are you from?

When I grow up I won't spare Magghu.

Any clients?

There were some at the fort. - Magghu has taken them.

Oh... Ma'am - Hide, quickly.

Oh... Ma'am

Ma'am is on her way here so you are fleeing the scene?

How will I face Ma'am in my underpants? What's wrong with you?

Now he'll reappear dressed in his best clothes.

Hello, Ma'am - Hello, Dhurinder. How are you?

I am good. How is Sir?

He's good, busy in a meeting today.

Hello, Ma'am - Hello.

Come on, get the bags out.

How are you? Please bring the accounts file upstairs.

Yes.

And send Nanhe in when he gets here, don't forget.

Nanhe, you are hiding here. Ma'am wants to speak to you.

Hello, Ma'am

Come up.

Yes Ma'am.

Transfer ten percent of this year's profit...

...from the hotel into the school fund.

Yes Ma'am.

And now, please get the roof cleaned.

Okay fine. Goodbye, Ma'am.

Your Night School literacy campaign is brilliant.

I recommend that Dhurinder be made the watchman for the night class.

Durjan Singh is illiterate too.

This year you too will have to attend the night school.

Yes, Ma'am

I want every elderly person and child...

...from this town to be literate. Only then can the campaign succeed.

Let's take you on location to the launch...

...of Bobby Deol's new movie 'Yaar'

'Yaar', the title seems to indicate yet another romantic film.

Looking after the Night School is your responsibility now.

Yes Ma'am.

'Yaar' can also mean a friend. This film is about friendship

If you need anything, let me know.

Okay, Ma'am.

Sir, your scene.

Sir, in this scene you give your friend all the money you have.

Ok, I will be there in five minutes.

The class must have at least twenty students.

Go ahead, ask the questions.

What is your character in this film?

In this film, I play...

Where has Nanhe disappeared?

Interesting. All this with a friend's help?

Your parents, your siblings... are all relationships determined by God.

Friendship is the only relationship that we choose.

Are you insecure of the vagaries of this world-hits and flops?

It is all in the mind.

Encourage as many people as you can.

Yes Ma'am. I will visit homes to explain...

...the benefits of this campaign and...

...encourage people to join. May I leave?

Yes, please. - Good bye, Ma'am.

Follow your heart to choose your dreams.

Make your dream your goal and believe in it.

You will see how your belief becomes your strength...

...and helps you succeed.

What have you decided this time?

What about?

About school.

I have spoken to a lot of people about it, Khemaji and...

...Jassuji are eagerly waiting to join.

I am talking about you.

Me? I am fairly smart Ma'am and this year we have a busy tourist season.

You are intelligent but illiterate.

The tourist season only lasts four months.

If there is the dread of disease or famine, the tourists will stay away.

What will you do then? If you study, you'll have many more options.

Look Nanhe, this time you have to attend school.

Whatever you think is best. Goodbye, Ma'am.

Goodbye.

Nanhe. - Yes Ma'am.

Take this.

Night school begins soon, I will have to come up with a new excuse.

There is a movie in the neighbouring village, shall we go?

Is it Bobby Deol's?

No, but the actress is pretty, her voice is exactly like Madamji's.

She was asking after you, you should go meet her.

Really?

Hukadi mentioned that there is some news on Bobby Deol in the paper.

On Bobby Deol?

Raja, my friend's in the paper today.

Brother Hukadi. - Nanhe.

Brother Hukadi!

Brother Hukadi. - You will not believe this.

What news?

There's is news about your friend.

Come. Come.

Tell me.

Take a deep breath and listen.

"Bobby Deol's new film 'Yaar' was launched at...

...a five-star hotel in Mumbai.

The shoot for this film begins next week.

The first thirty days of shoot may be in Jaisalmer...

...and Barmer districts of Rajasthan."

Happy?

Nanhe, I promise it is the truth.

My friend is coming.

Sister, my friend is coming.

My friend is coming.

Sister, my friend is coming.

Sister, my friend...

Sister.

Sister.

Sister.

What happened? - Sister.

My friend's coming.

Friend is coming? - Yes, look at this. Read it.

Wait a minute.

"Bobby Deol's new film 'Yaar' was launched at...

...a five star hotel in Mumbai."

Read on.

Hold on...

"The shoot for this film begins next week."

"The first thirty days of shoot may be in Jaisalmer..."

"...and Barmer districts of Rajasthan."

My friend is coming!

My friend is coming!

My friend is coming!

My friend is coming!

My friend is coming!

My friend is coming!

Do you really think that he will come?

Of course he'll come. He will come to meet me. And I believe that.

Please read it to me once more.

Ok, come here.

"The first thirty days of shoot may be in Jaisalmer..."

"...and Barmer districts of Rajasthan."

Sister!

Sister, please.

"Bobby Deol's new film 'Yaar'

Last time you were here I was too young. What say, Raja?

This time we will have to take care of you.

Let's go find a present for him tomorrow.

Hey, Nanhe

"Solider, Solider..."

"Solider, Solider..."

What's the matter Narayan Singhji, you look sad?

When camels grow old they are made to sit outside the house.

You tell me, you look extremely happy.

My friend is coming.

Sir, have a look at this jacket. You'll look like a hero in it.

Like a superstar from the movies.

Yes, this seems just right.

How much is it for?

You will buy it? Get lost.

Bad omen.

Sir, it's for five thousand rupees

Then give me the one for five hundred rupees.

I can't afford this one.

I will buy this jacket, for my friend.

my saffron clad friend

Mother, pass me the jaggery.

Come here.

Coming.

Yes.

This is my son, Nanhe.

Hello.

Go see if your sister is dressed.

Who are these people?

This is the groom's family, they are here to see your sister.

Go!

There are three men outside, whom do you fancy?

Stop fooling around, I'm really nervous.

Suman. - Let's go. Come on.

Hello.

This is my daughter, Suman.

So you have a daughter and a son.

No sir, one daughter and two sons.

Two sons?

Yes - Raja and I

Nanhe, please serve Badal.

Badal? My friend's screen name. This couple is the right match.

We'd like your daughter to be a part of our family.

Thank you. - Thank you.

Nanhe, please escort them home.

'I love only you'

'I love only you'

'I love only you'

'I love only you'

Nanhe, go visit your uncle tomorrow.

Visit uncle? Why?

He's borrowed six thousand rupees for his daughter's wedding,

...get that money back from him.

Okay, I will. I think my brother-in-law is really cool.

Look, what a fine crop we're expecting this year.

I will return the money after the harvest.

I will even add some extra to the amount I owe her.

Tell your mother not to stress.

Good bye, Uncle.

One hell of a shortcut. We're now stuck here.

Had I been driving, this would never have happened.

Yes, that is because like a camel in the desert...

...you can swim through the sand.

Forget it. Let's call that camel boy.

Hey you, camel boy.

Listen for a moment.

Sit.

So your car's stuck.

Please help us take the car out of the sand.

He can't handle it.

Raja!

Come on Raja... pull with all your might. Pull... Raja.

Come on Raja... pull with all your might. Pull... Raja.

Pull! Pull! Pull!

Well done little one, your camel is intelligent.

You must be new here...

...otherwise everyone knows him as 'Raja Jaisalmer.'

What's your name?

Nanhe Jaisalmer.

Nanhe...

Friend!

Raja.

What are you doing?

I'm checking to see if it's a daydream.

Nanhe Jaisalmer.

This is not a dream.

Raja, this really is my friend.

This is Raja, right? - Yeah.

Raja Jaisalmer.

How is your mother? - She is well.

Is Suman's wedding fixed now?

Yes and you will have to attend.

Of course, she's my sister too.

Friend, I wrote you so many letters but you never replied.

How could I? - Of course, you are a busy person.

Look, I am carrying your last letter. You never wrote your address.

So how would I had replied.

This sister!

Then, I thought I'd personally look for you when I got to Jaisalmer.

This sister of mine is really foolish.

What? - Sorry friend.

Let's go home, mother and sister will never believe that you are here.

I have a shoot this evening.

Shoot! As soon as you arrive?

What to do? We're on a tight schedule.

Then you carry on.

Let's meet tomorrow at seven after the shoot.

But far from the crowds.

We'll meet at the Ghadisar Lake, it is fairly secluded after sunset.

That works.

Goodbye, my friend

Goodbye.

Mother! Sister!

Mother! Sister! Mother!

Mother!

Nanhe, you're here!

I was telling your mother that school starts tomorrow.

From tomorrow?

Attend to your camel safari in the day and...

...come to school at seven in the evening.

At seven? I can't attend school.

This year I won't listen to any excuses from you.

But, Bobby Deol...

Enough Nanhe... I've had it with your Bobby Deol nonsense.

Ma'am is kind enough to spare time...

...and energy to educate you and you keep coming up with excuses.

But, I really can't attend school. I have to meet my friend tomorrow.

That is enough. I don't want to argue. You'll go to school tomorrow.

No, I will not go. If you force me I will run away from home.

Madamji, I apologize on his behalf. He will be at school tomorrow.

He's been shouldering responsibilities since he was six.

But he's still innocent and thinks we are forcing our will on him.

I want him to stop dreaming and come to terms with reality.

I want him to study and make a real life...

...but he's too captivated by Bobby Deol.

Look at his perspective Sarla.

He considers Bobby Deol's affection to compensate...

...for the lack of his father's.

That's how he became more important than a friend to him.

Do you understand?

Nanhe, eat your food.

I don't want to eat.

Don't be stubborn, eat your food.

I am not hungry and I don't wish to go to school either.

But why?

I have to reach Ghadisar at seven tomorrow to meet my friend.

Look, there is no escaping school.

Don't force me or else I will really run away from home.

Yes of course, run away. Like your father.

Let me talk to him.

Do you think we have an ulterior motive in your attending school?

Yes

What are you doing? - Stop behaving like this.

Why are you beating him? Please go.

Nanhe, sit here.

See today you've hurt our mother.

Do you know why she insists that you study?

Because she is illiterate.

Our father took advantage of her illiteracy and...

...sold all the property and ran away.

Raja and her worked very hard to make ends meet.

Ma'am helped her get odd jobs.

Mother took care of us, built this house.

She sent me to school so that no one dupes me.

Now, if she wants you to study for the same reason,...

...what is wrong with that?

But Uncle too thinks that education doesn't really help us.

It's no surprise that our uncle should say this.

After all he is our father's brother.

I am delighted that you have decided to attend school.

There is no right age to learn.

Education gives you more options in life to choose from.

Hold still while I take a quick swig.

And life becomes better.

What do you want to do when you can read and write?

I too would like to be a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

And you?

If Jassuji aims to be an MLA I sure can become a Member of Parliament!

Okay, stop being flippant. What would you like to do?

At this age my memory fails me a lot.

I would like to pen my poetry on paper.

Very good. And Narayan ji?

Basic mathematics will help me get back into running my business.

I am here to learn that.

How about you?

I want to join the army to serve my nation.

Well said.

Sorry, Ma'am!

What do you want to do?

I don't want to do anything.

Come on, let's go.

Friend, I am here.

I will not go to school from tomorrow, no matter what happens.

Nanhe. Come have dinner with us. How was your first day at school?

Leave him be. He will eat when he's cooled off. You eat. Take it.

I am so stupid. When I met you...

...I forgot to ask you where you are staying.

But Jaisalmer isn't so big that Nanhe Jaisalmer can't find you.

Namhe. Open the door.

Leave me alone.

Open the door. This is urgent.

I don't want to hear anything.

Nanhe, open it!

What is it?

Look who's here?

Friend!

You were right. He was waiting for you at seven at Ghadisar Lake.

Told you so.

Can I get you anything?

No, nothing, I am okay.

You leave now but don't let mother get to know of this.

Okay.

Come in.

What is this? So many pictures of me?

When you are not around, I talk to your pictures.

Really? - Friend, feel at home.

Tell me, why didn't you come today?

I had to attend school. Mother forced me to go.

You have started going to school? You didn't write to me about this?

I'm stuck in my mother's and Madamji's conspiracy.

I will not go tomorrow.

Why not? - Because you are here.

Even my mother used to force me to go to school.

All mothers are alike. They never understand us.

You are right.

Hey, this is our picture. - Yes

Look at the difference between how you looked earlier and now?

What's that supposed to mean?

I mean, you looked much better then.

I see. Let me show you a photo.

Look at this.

Oh, this is my picture. But how did you recognize me?

From your eyes.

How fascinating, Nanhe.

Oh, look who else is here.

Nanhe, once I was face to face with this tiger.

I screamed 'Mr. Tiger' and he got scared and ran away. Coward.

Mouse. - Not a mouse, I'm talking about a tiger.

A mouse! It's behind the cupboard.

A mouse? Where is it?

Behind the cupboard. - Behind the cupboard?

Why are you here then? Go catch it.

Why are you here?

To keep an eye on it in case it gets away.

I'm keeping an eye too.

Who will catch it then?

You.

Nanhe, I can fight a tiger but the sight of a mouse terrifies me.

Me too.

Really?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to scare the mouse.

Me too.

Really!

Let's try this. You go and knock loudly on the cupboard.

When the mouse runs out...

...I will throw this cloth from here and we'll trap it. Okay?

Okay? - Why should I go?

Who's older?

You.

Who's younger?

I am. - So, who goes?

Whose idea is it?

Okay, I have a plan.

Will this plan work?

Why won't it?

That mouse will choose this piece of bread as its target...

...and our goal is the mouse.

Nanhe, remember that to achieve anything in life...

...there must be a clear goal. Understand?

Where is the mouse?

Friend. -What? - I need to pee.

Even me. control it, we will do it later.

The mouse!

What should we do now?

Let it go. It's just a mouse after all.

Let it go. - Ok,

I had so much fun Nanhe. Am reminded of my childhood.

This is just the beginning. Wait and watch out for more.

Ok listen, I won't be able to see you at seven tomorrow.

Why? - The shoot will go on till nine.

This suits me best. Now I can go to school...

...which will keep my mother happy, and I get to spend time with you.

Does this mean that you will study now?

No, not at all. I will go to school to have fun.

Okay then, let me meet your mother and leave.

No, don't meet her.

Why? - She is annoyed with you.

Why? What have you told her about me?

I haven't said anything. She just has a different point of view.

Let me meet her and sort it out.

No. Why do you want to worsen the situation?

Alright then, whatever you say.

You haven't eaten?

I had an argument with my mother.

That means she wouldn't have eaten either.

She wouldn't have eaten... why?

When I sulked and refused food as a child...

...my mother would also go to bed hungry.

All mothers are alike, aren't they?

See you tomorrow. - Good-bye, my friend.

Good-bye.

Mother.

Nanhe.

I am hungry.

You sit here, I'll warm up the food.

I have already done that.

But I couldn't have eaten without you.

Did you go to bed hungry?

Who told you that?

All sons are the same. A son like me said so.

Hey Nanhe...

Look at my biceps...

...they are no less than your Bobby Deol's.

Look.

Welcome to my land...

Ma'am has not reached yet.

She will come sooner or later. First you come here...

...take a few swigs and let's start the party.

What party and what swigs? I pray that you quit drinking.

If your prayers have so much power,...

...let's see you use them to rock the Fort.

Or just take two swigs of this and watch the fort rock on its own.

Stop joking, on one hand...

Who is this?

Isn't it wonderful that we have women attending night school too?

How do you do? I'm Durjan Singh.

That must've hurt.

What's going on here?

Hide this, quick.

Where is Dhurinder today?

Good evening, Ma'am.

Dhurinder! -What on earth is going on?

Nothing really. We were just settling an old score.

Change your clothes and get back right away!

Yes, Ma'am.

Nanhe, hold still while I take a quick swig.

What is happening there?

Just taking a sip of my 'medicine' for my ache.

Where is the pain?

Right here.

Yes, that's it.

School was fun today.

There is everything but studies.

Motu, why don't you come to school?

That Magghu.

Magghu does not come to school.

Not school... Magghu

Does Magghu frighten you so much?

To hell with him.

My dear students, were you talking about me?

That you are so kind. - Indeed, I am.

Come on, cough up my share of your tip.

But

...this is Motu's money.

Hey Nanhe... you are trying to teach me.

Durjan is convinced that your well-built body is unconvincing.

What was your reply?

I told him that if he got one whack he'd see stars in the day.

Get off.

I have to work hard for this.

When I grow up and I have biceps like yours, I will not spare Magghu.

Is Magghu still giving you a hard time?

Earlier he used to make us walk like chickens...

...hit us with his catapult but today he snatched Motu's tip.

So why don't you stop him?

Because he's older than us and we're scared. But wait till I grow up.

A grown up can always show his strength.

Our biggest asset is our intellect.

If we apply our mind correctly...

...we can teach a lesson to ten boys like Magghu.

How?

Break this stick.

Now break these five sticks together.

You couldn't break them?

This is the power of the collective.

Once united, neither Nanhe Jaisalmer nor Bobby Deol can break them.

Come here.

Ok.

Safari

In a while.

Okay sir. Thank you. Thank you.

Maggu? - Who's that? - Motu will take this safari.

What? Have you lost your mind?

Motu, take this safari.

No, no, no.

Have you gone nuts? Wait where you are.

Get up. Let's go. - No, no.

All together?

So, you want to challenge me?

You can only target us one at a time but we will target you all at once.

I'll tackle you later.

Wait.

Now, Motu is square with you.

Start walking like a chicken.

What? - Did you not hear us? Start walking like a chicken.

This is how Magghu was...

I had a great time. Magghu used to scare the life out of us.

Fear, anxiety, apprehension are manifestations of the mind.

You feel what your mind makes you.

If our mental faculties are strong we can face all odds. Understand?

Give me too. - Yes, of course, take it.

What happened? - No, this is not for you.

Why? If you can eat it so can I. - This is not good.

So why do you eat it? - It is a habit, that's why.

It's not good for you, you still eat it because it's a habit?

I haven't quite understood.

Stop thinking so much. Give it to me.

Friend.

We both won't eat it.

Since we became friends life is full of joy

Since we became friends life is full of joy

My little friend

My little friend

My little friend

If you ask once I will lay down my life for you

My little friend

My little friend

My little friend

Our friendship stays constant

The world is jealous of us

as friendship like ours is rare

Ignore their envy

We should not have to face any hurdles

For you I will take on the world

Since we became friends life is full of joy

My little friend

My little friend

My little friend

My little friend

My little friend

When will she come?

Do you know who is coming to my sister's wedding?

Who? - My friend!

Wow. - Really?

This time I will show him my biceps.

First, you have to spruce up a bit. Don't wear your tattered shoes.

I want all of you to look your best like Jassuji.

So you mean like Jassuji and me.

No, not you. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Please do shave.

You are right.

But why are you inviting everyone if they are such an embarrassment.

Let it go. - Why should we?

Are we not presentable enough to match up to his friend?

Is he a rich man?

Why do you make a mountain out of a molehill?

You know what? I will not attend this wedding.

And after what you have just said I doubt anyone else will either.

Fine by me. I really don't care whether you come or don't.

And yes he is more important than all of you put together.

My son, stop being so angry.

That's enough. Who are they?

Do they think that going to night school...

...will make them as important as my friend?

Will Narayanji really run a shop or will Bhopalaji...

...ever publish his poetry?

They are all older than you.

So what? Who are you to sermonize me...

...when you are drunk most of the time?

Nanhe. - What Nanhe?

I don't need any of you.

Let Ma'am know that I am not returning to this class.

Nanhe.

School ended early today?

I got into a fierce argument with Khemaji and others.

They spoke nonsense about you.

And you fought with them? - Yes.

You lost four friends for one.

Sir, your shot is ready. - Coming. - Okay, sir.

It's easy to make a friend but very tough to keep the friendship.

I'll be back after the shot. Ok.

Where is the shot?

Show him some authentic Rajasthani pieces...

...my boss here wants to gift one to his girlfriend.

See this... - My sister needs surgery and I desperately need money.

Hey, you again. - Stop.

Give him the money. - But sir...

But you were to give a present to your girlfriend today.

So what if my girlfriend doesn't get a present...

...at least a brother gets his sister.

Cut it, brilliant...

Subhash, will you bring my jacket please?

Nanhe, how did you like my shot?

Friend you are a hit.

Sir, I forgot it in Bombay.

Okay, then get me a shawl. - Yes sir.

Please give me that jacket.

How much is it?

Please give me a small discount.

Give you a discount? Get lost, buy the jacket when you have the money.

See if you can reduce the price a little.

If a horse befriends the grass, what will he eat?

Get lost.

Raja, I must buy that jacket for my friend, let's look for tourists.

Nanhe! - Yes. - You are a smart lad , you speak four languages.

Learn from him.

Come on, move...

This horse doesn't know how to run fast, I think it's a donkey.

This is not a donkey, he's a camel and his name means 'King'.

So, where is his queen?

Make it run.

You want him to run? - Yes.

Raja

Stop, please stop him.

Somebody save us. Somebody save us.

Raja!

Mother.

What are you doing?

We're making tattoos.

I know that. In the village we write our names on our arms.

Yes, exactly like that. You haven't had your name written?

No. - Should we write it for you?

Yes, on both Raja and me.

How are you? - Ok.

What happened? Why are you laughing?

What's written on Raja?

His name, what else?

His name?

Have a look, that's his name.

Have a look, that's his name.

What's so funny? Even I got my name written.

That's good.

Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am!

Ma'am, come here. - What's happened? - Ma'am, come here.

What's written on Raja?

Who has done this?

First tell me what is written here and why is everyone laughing?

This reads 'donkey'

And this?

'And I am a bigger donkey.'

Nanhe.

Friend.

Mohan mentioned that everyone in the bazaar was laughing at you.

What did I do to deserve that?

Why did they play such a dirty trick on me?

They called my Raja a donkey, I did not retaliate.

Still they wrote 'donkey' on him.

Don't cry. They did not mock you but your illiteracy.

But why?

Because that's the truth.

Everyone has weaknesses and flaws.

But life gives us a chance to correct those.

Either you should not complain about people who poke fun at you...

...or you don't give them a chance to do so.

But, it's difficult for me to concentrate on studies.

Nothing is easy. The day you decide you want to achieve something...

...you will have to believe in it.

And the same belief will become your...

...strength and guide you to your goal.

Now the decision is yours...

...whether you want to give up your weakness or live with it.

I have made my decision.

Nanhe.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, my friend.

K... - K... - Kh... - Kh... - Ga...

Ga... - Gha... -

Gha... - Kna. - Kna.

Cha... - Cha. - Chha... - Chha...

Ja... - Ja... - Jha... - Jha.

Yna... - Yna.

Ma'am...

I want to study.

Come, sit.

Cha... - Cha. - Chha... - Chha...

Ja... - Ja... - Jha... - Jha.

Yna... - Yna.

Cha... - Cha. - Chha... - Chha...

Ja... - Ja... - Jha... - Jha.

Yna... - Yna.

Nanhe, hold still while I take a quick swig.

Uncle.

Our Nanhe Jaisalmer.

Victory will be ours since we have made a start...

...celebrations are close at hand since we have taken a stand.

Today is a new beginning.

This is Ka... this is Kha...

This is Kha... this is Ga... this is Gha and this is Kna.

This is Kha... this is Ga... Gha and this is Kna.

Nanhe! Nanhe!

Yes mother.

Whose tobacco is this?

It's mine but you can throw it away because I don't eat it anymore.

Your Nanhe has changed.

Like a lover who calls his beloved from the banks of River Chenab

My heart yearns for you in the same manner

Like a lover who calls his beloved from the banks of River Chenab

My heart yearns for you in the same manner

My eyes see only you

You are everywhere I go

My eyes see only you

You are everywhere I go

Like a lover who calls his beloved from the banks of River Chenab

My heart yearns for you in the same manner

Without you I don't wish to live

Without you I don't wish to live

Its only you in my eyes

Every moment, its you I breathe

My eyes see only you

You are everywhere I go

Like a lover who calls his beloved from the banks of River Chenab

My heart yearns for you in the same manner

"Oh beloved..."

Tomorrow I will test you on math tables from 2 to 5 and the alphabets.

Is it fine with you? - Yes Ma'am.

Here come the exams...

...now Ma'am will finally figure out how keen we are to study.

What are you saying? Who wants to progress?

I just want to sit in class and listen to Ma'am's voice.

Why don't you propose to her?

She'll take you home, teach you and feed you.

Nanhe. - What happened?

You must be really sad.

Why should I be sad? In fact, I am extremely happy.

But I thought you love Raja more than anything.

What happened to Raja? - Don't you know? - No.

Raja... - Nanhe! - Raja...

Raja...

Where is Raja?

He's gone.

Where?

This unfortunate mother had to sell one of her sons...

...to get her daughter married.

I had no choice.

I had no choice.

Nanhe.

Our uncle deceived us.

Friend, my Raja has gone.

How will mother live without him?

He was her elder son. No one will be happy without him.

Friend, please help me. What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do, friend?

So what if my girlfriend doesn't get a present...

...at least a brother gets his sister.

Give me some jaggery.

Raja...

Raja, my son, you are back.

Nanhe. - So what if I didn't buy a present for my friend...

...at least I reunited mother and son. What say, sister?

Give these wedding invitations to your classmates.

I need another one.

For whom? - For my friend.

You have a cough.

There's an insect on your arm.

It's gone. Keep writing.

What have you written?

Nothing. Take a look.

Turn in your answer sheets.

Stand up.

Oh lord.

Finally, the exam is over.

Well done, you remember the math tables well.

Very good.

Jassuji. - Yes Ma'am.

What is this? You've been stuck in the same place for three years now.

With your grace. - Get lost.- I will learn by next year Ma'am.

Khemaji. Khemaji. You come here.

Show me your answer sheet. - I was just on my way.

Same thing. Were you writing Jassuji's answers?

Cheat? Me? How could I?

Even to cheat you need brains.

Go away.

Nanhe.

What is this? You haven't written a word.

He has also not written anything.

I had great expectations of you. You worked so hard.

Maybe my efforts were not good enough.

This is what I wrote.

You've written this?

Yes, I have written this.

What has he written?

What is it?

'For my friend Bobby Deol', Nanhe Jaisalmer and Raja Jaisalmer.'

Well done.

Nanhe has written a whole sentence.

That is wonderful!

Well done!

Well done!

Can I leave now?

Friend... Friend... My friend!

Friend... Friend...

Friend... Friend...

Friend... Friend...

Friend... Friend...

This is for you. - What is it?

This is Suman's wedding invite.

Take a look at the envelope.

'For my friend Bobby Deol', Nanhe Jaisalmer...

...and Raja Jaisalmer.' You've written this?

Yes. And only because of you.

You had to walk bare feet on hot sand to know why you needed shoes.

Mouse. - Mouse?

Naughty boy, you scared me. - Let me go. Let me go. Let me go.

Friend, will you attend the wedding?

Let Suman know that her elder brother will be there.

Will you let me meet your mother this time?

Yes, now she is not angry with you anymore.

It stays unbroken

Love is one such bond

Every instant, every moment, love

I will die for you

Everyday of my life

Everyday of my life

Of my daily life, I want you to be a part.

Since I've seen you

I've only thought of you

You are my realm of dreams

I only wish for you

You stay in my thoughts

You are my passion

Every instant, every moment, love

I will die for you

Of my daily life, I want you to be a part.

My heart knows

the pain of separation

my heartbeat yearns for you

Without you, my days and nights are lonely

I am breathless without you.

My heart threatens to stop beating without you.

Every instant, every moment, love

I will die for you

Of my daily life, I want you to be a part.

Of my daily life, I want you to be a part.

Of my daily life, I want you to be a part.

Since we became friends

Life is full of joy

My little friend.

Nanhe... Nanhe...

Sorry, my friend, I'm late.

Today was the last day and we were forced to finish. Please forgive me.

I told everyone that you would be there.

I wasn't coming to the wedding for anyone but you.

Let's go meet your mother and let me apologize to her as well.

But you promised me.

Yes and I wasn't able to keep the promise because of my work.

I couldn't have inconvenienced others to keep my friend happy.

But as you say it's easy to make a friend...

...but very tough to keep the friendship.

I am proud of you. You have grown up.

You have a burning desire to learn and grow.

You must keep that going always.

Remember that with friends one should learn to forgive.

I'm sorry again.

Keep writing to me, I'll wait for your letters. Good-bye.

Friendship has another meaning too.

No sorry.

When will you come back?

This time you will have to visit me in Bombay.

Nanhe. Nanhe.

Friend, meet Ma and let her know that...

...you are inviting me to Bombay or else she won't let me go.

Okay friend? Please.

Talking to your friend again?

Yes, meet my friend Bobby Deol.

You forgot to send him the invite.

I know that he did not make it to the shoot this time...

...but I am sure he will come some other time.

Or you go visit him in Bombay at the end of this year.

But my friend is...

Nanhe! - Yes. - You are my hero.

I am so proud that you have started studying,

...you have grown to be such a responsible young man.

Go to bed. You have to wake up early to...

...visit your sister in her new home.

Go to bed.

Nanhe Jaisalmer.

Friend.

Raja, this really is my friend

Bobby Deol's new movie 'Yaar' was...

...launched at a five star hotel in Mumbai.

Friend.

You were right, he was waiting for you at Ghadisar Lake at seven.

I told you that he'd be waiting for me at Ghadisar Lake at seven.

When you are not around, I talk to your pictures.

The shoot for this film begins next week.

Today he snatched Motu's tip away.

So, why don't you stop him?

Because he's older than us and we're scared of him.

The first thirty days of shoot...

Friend, this is for you.

...may be in Jaisalmer and Barmer districts of Rajasthan.

I got into an argument with Khemaji and others.

They spoke nonsense about you.

Yes.

I had a great time my friend, Magghu used to scare the life out of us.

You make me wait far too long between meetings.

Ma, he is my friend.

I know that he did not make it to the shoot this time.

The first thirty days of shoot may be in Jaisalmer...

...and Barmer districts of Rajasthan.

Of course, he'll come. He will come to meet me. And I believe that.

That mouse will choose this piece of bread as its target...

...and our goal is the mouse.

Nanhe, remember that to achieve anything...

...in life there must be a clear goal.

To achieve anything in life there must be a clear goal.

And this was my target.

In this film I play an illiterate villager...

...whose friend helps him emerge from ignorance.

lnteresting... with help from a friend.

No...

Our greatest strength is our intellect.

Our greatest strength is our intellect.

If we apply our mind correctly...

...we can fight every insecurity in life.

If you apply your mind correctly...

...we can teach ten boys like Magghu a lesson.

What is in the scene?

Sir in this scene, you give away your money to help your friend.

So what if my girlfriend doesn't get a present...

...at least a brother gets his sister.

Each of us has flaws and weaknesses.

But life gives us a chance to correct those.

Each of us has flaws and weaknesses.

But life gives us a chance to correct those.

Your parents, your siblings... are relationships determined by God.

Friendship is the only relationship that we choose.

It is easy to make a friend but tough to keep the friendship.

It is easy to make friends but hard to keep their friendship.

I know that he did not make it to the shoot this time.

You really think he will come

Of course, he'll come. He will come to meet me. And I believe that.

I believe that.

If our belief is strong enough, our minds have the power to imagine.

When the conviction runs deep our imagination turns into reality...

...and takes us wherever we want to go.

This was the story of Nanhe Jaisalmer...

...whose belief turned his dream into reality...

...and guided him through life.

I call upon the guest of evening to felicitate Mr. Vikram Singh.

Congratulations, great book.

Your story is so real.

Each of us has imaginary relationships

some believe in God and...

...some like Nanhe believe in their friends.

But actually, it's our inner voice, our own conviction.

But how does anyone benefit from this?

All it takes is for us to pay attention to the voice and...

...it guides us in the right direction.

Great answer. - Thank you.

Congratulations again. - Thank you, sir.

I wish you all the best.

Nanhe.

'For my friend Bobby Deol, Nanhe Jaisalmer and Raja Jaisalmer'

You sent me this invite for today?

Yes.

Greetings, friends. -Greetings, friends.

Nanhe Jaisalmer, this is not a dream, it's reality.

Hello. - Hello. Hello. - Hello.

I am Jassuji. - Hello.

Nanhe is our childhood buddy.

I am Narayan Singh. - Hello! - I am Dhurinder. - I am Hukadi Banna.

Bobby Deol is Nanhe's true friend.

And this is how Nanhe stepped up to reach his star.
