Original subtitles

At least respect the dead

Go

Have mercy, Allah!

Saina?

No. It's not her

Uncle

Uncle, come here

What about this one?

A Hindu cannot be buried

Uncle

Have you gone crazy?

Stop it, Uncle - Let go off me

I'll kill them all

Everything is destroyed

Leave me

What's the point of killing the dead?

Wish they weren't leaving tomorrow, isn't it?

How long did you want to hide in their basement?

Didn't Sameer Saheb shelter us all of last month?

lf you had your way you'd go with them to Delhi

Yes, I would. You are so...

They took a big risk

Safe across the bridge, in a huge house...

what's his risk?

You forget that he paid for this rickshaw

But we've repaid his entire loan

What have they done, Allah!

They've burnt it all

Everything is destroyed

I told you to get a new lock

So it's my fault?

Sister-fuckers!

Mother-fuckers!

You won't get away

What will we do now?

They burnt it all

Where's this from?

Henna - What?

From the henna jobs

Don't lie

You haven't taken a henna job since Nazo was born

I didn't fully repay Sameer Saheb

What?

Why did you do that?

Think you're too smart!

You don't care about the house

You weren't going to repair the sofa before Eid ?

You want a sofa?

Here... sit!

I told you again and again let me check on the house. But no!

what if they'd killed you?

That would have been better

She forgot the salt again

Get the salt

Wish these riots got over

Then the vegetable seller would come

Or else we'll be stuck with onions and potatoes

Where is your mind these days?

No one's knocking!

She's gone crazy

I'm off to Ritesh's place

School is closed, but shouldn't you be studying?

Then what's this schoolbag for?

This is an astounding statement of the security situation...

in Gujarat

Especially the remote areas which are away from the media gaze

These English channels are bloody liars

when Hindus are killed, these pimps keep silent

You'll see, the whole world will give it to these Muslims

What will happen, Sanjay bhai?

I told you. Settle it with a bottle of Black Label...

then you didn't listen

Now you want my help

What if they come with a warrant?

No report has been filed

They can't shit a warrant out of their arse

Stop eating or he may leave

We'll be back by eight. For once cook something nice

Are you leaving?

No

I like to stand by the door twirling my scooter keys

Hurry up

There's a vegetable seller down the lane

Buy something fresh

What? Lost again?

Please... swords...

They'll slaughter me

Open... open the door

They'll kill me

They'll kill me

You fix everyone's instruments for free

But this TV will not get repaired till I die

But you can hear it all!

TV is for watching

lf you learn to listen...

you'll know more about the world

I listen all right...

to the crackle of the TV. And to your snoring

lf you listen carefully, even there you'll hear the sound of music

But you don't have the brains for that

That is true

Because I have no brains, I wasted forty years slaving for you

Stop fiddling with that. Prepare for the morning gathering

So where's the sweet for tomorrow?

See it's full

You call this full?

For the few who'll show up, it's full!

You'll see tomorrow,

more will come

Every Friday...

you tell me to lay the carpet, rearrange furniture, get things

Like a fool, I do it all

Saturday morning, who comes?

Only your student, the doctor

Wake up, Khan Saheb, open your eyes

In such times, listening is not enough

Why are you worried?

If more come, three can be broken into six

How will I pursue my music without Khan Saheb?

I'm really feeling guilty

Forget it

Now we've decided

I just wish we weren't watching this CD today

Really?

I feel finally there will be some closure

We are leaving this city, what more closure do you want?

What good is it now watching the store being looted?

Listen, what time have you called the movers?

Pick-up's at 8 am tomorrow

While talking to them...

it finally hit me

We are actually moving

You always have a delayed response to everything

Don't you?

Watch out!

Are you blind or what?

Did you want to kill us?

Shit, we just had it serviced

Please... it's you who were speeding

Is it okay, Sameer?

First you hit, then say okay?

You... Sameer bhai, forget who's at fault

We both know when women drive it means trouble

It's the first time...

First or last, I'm the one who'll have to pay

Look, it's all smashed

It's too little. Go snack at Mehta's

Okay

Let's go. No point arguing

It wasn't my fault, I swear

I know, love. It's okay. Sit

Saw that?

Fault was ours, but I made them pay

That's being smart

Quite a cream cake, wasn't she?

Kavita, hurry up

Give the phone to the Inspector

Hi - Hi

Happy to meet your Anu aunty?

Hi, Sameer - Hi.

The CD isn't here yet

Raman's been waiting for the last two hours

Typical!

So who has my CD?

Sir, the payment was discussed. Now why the fuss?

You are selling me my own CD?

It's cruel to imagine these children recounting those horrors

But activists here are saying the option may be just as bad

What did you hear?

They beat, stripped, raped, slaughtered and burnt everyone

Was your daughter also there? - Yes, she was

Will the servant boy return or not?

Don't know

Anwar bhai was sitting outside here

Poor man, was a cripple

when he opened the railing they stabbed him

They also grabbed the girl standing behind him

They screamed, "Kill them!"

''We don't want Muslims in India''

They used swords, petrol, chemicals on us

What's wrong with you?

Go slow

They even used water pistols to spray petrol

Some were well armed with rifles

As I wear a sari and speak Gujarati...

I was spared

Shut the TV and draw the curtains

We cleaned walls splattered with blood

They dragged people out, poured petrol to burn them...

Sister, I beg you, please... open

They will kill me

Open the door

These bastards, burnt it all

Left nothing

Do you think it was Mehul's gang?

They've been against you ever since the tolnaka fight

Would he go this far?

What is it?

Nothing, just a pendant

Ask your friend Jyoti

She'd know for sure

Why?

Just because Mehul is her cousin?

Where are you going?

To Munna's

I'll be back by ten

Listen

Be careful

Good heavens!

Good heavens!

Now get up

What kind of medicine am I taking?

Listen, phone Subhash

He'd be at the hospital now. Talk to him at night

Want to speak to Shafiq miyan?

I want tablets, not a talisman

Suffer then!

lf I get your special sherbet...

I'll suffer better

Here.

God bless you

Muslims are being slaughtered

Doesn't that bother you?

People are killing people, that bothers me, Karim miyan

Listen... bring down that harp

I want to give it to little Maya

Khan Saheb...

not one student of yours is Muslim. Has that occurred to you?

God knows!

Perhaps they don't value music anymore

It's not that

There is not one Muslim living within a ten mile radius

with your tablets you sleep in peace, while I stay awake all night

Why? What's there to be scared?

Sure, why should we be? In the eyes of Allah all are equal

Here Hindu-Muslim live happily together!

Go, see who's come

Welcome

You'll live a hundred years!

I'm going to meet Joshi bhai

Thought I'll stop by

How is he keeping?

He sleeps a lot

That's good. Take this snack

Greetings, Khan Saheb - God bless you

How are you today?

Absolutely fine

I heard that the pills make you sleepy

He's jealous!

Because he lies awake all night worrying for his life

...and mine too!

Listen - Let me

This is for your daughter, Maya

Khan Saheb, how can I take this? It is from your childhood

So? It hasn't aged as badly as me

When I bring Maya, you give it yourself

That's fine

I better go - God bless you

Is his pressure high?

Is something bothering him?

You know, Doctor saheb...

only you were there for the last three music gatherings

How do I tell him why others don't come?

God be with you. - God be with you.

You know, I just can't get over it

How did they know that Sameer was a silent partner?

Because Big Brother's watching

What?

Didn't you read?

They've got databases of all Muslim-owned businesses?

Yes, but...

apart from some bank papers and legal documents...

Sameer's name shows up nowhere

Forget it, Ketki

I don't want to think about it

Let it be

I promised Sameer I'll learn to make tea from you

See,

now it's the last day!

He's quite a tea addict

So are the rest of his family

In fact his father says Muslims are allowed more tea...

because they're not allowed alcohol

But Sameer drinks

And I've never seen him pray or anything like that

Really, he's so not a Muslim!

But he is, Ketki

He is

Somewhere on a list in big bold letters is Sameer Arshad Shaikh

I wasn't joking when I said Big Brother is watching

Tell me honestly, Anu

Do you ever regret marrying a Muslim? - No

When we got married I knew it wasn't going to be easy

But this last month has taken that to a totally different level

What do you think?

Delhi will be any different?

Your brother stays there

In the U.S. of A.

His life is hardly a picnic

So what you're saying is, no matter where I go...

I'm basically screwed?

What I'm saying is, this is your home. Just screw the rest

Easy for you to say

lf a Hindu fundamentalist kills someone, you don't have to hide

But if a bloody Jihadi throws a bomb anywhere in the world...

we have to hang our head in shame

What?

'We'?

I don't know when 'me' became 'we'

Tea is ready

Coming

Buy more

In such times you never know

No, it's too expensive

Can't you see?

Running like a maniac

Does it hurt?

Are you hungry?

Come with me

You're a Muslim, aren't you?

What's your name?

Mohsin

Here, eat this

Aarti?

Coming

Is the servant boy back?

Eat later, okay?

Come

No, he sent a part-timer

Where is he?

Come

Go to him

Don't be scared, he can barely move

Come here

Go

What's your name?

...Mohan

He's so small, what work will he do?

Come

Go wash these

Amen!

Father did so much for our community

Yet so few are here

Yes, my child

Had he been an ordinary priest, more would have come

Well, I'm glad that you came

He never goes anywhere...

but insisted on coming here

It was my duty to come

Don't worry

Allah provides for all of us

Father was just like you

A meagre pension...

stuck in a house ready to collapse

And for everything, 'Allah will provide'!

lf you need anything...

don't hesitate to ask me

We better leave now

Please eat before you go

The medicines hardly leave room for food

God bless you

One look at us and he sped away

Who'd want to take two old men?

Amazing how you choose not to see!

Mirabagh Society?

What happened? - What else? He refused

He may not want to go in that direction

Which Muslim would go to a Hindu locality these days?

Why would he risk his life?

You always see more than there is to it

Wait here, I'll go look for a rickshaw

How much for the mishri?

Twenty rupees a kilo

Twenty a kilo!

Leave it then

Be happy that it's available in such times

Khan Saheb, come

I asked you to wait there

Come, sit

Go

Twenty rupees a kilo!

What?

Mishri

Now you know the prices these days?

And you wanted to help Sakina bibi

Had she asked, what would you give her?

Your old sitar or the useless TV?

Stop! Stop!

Why stop here?

Where are you going?

Where's the shrine?

Where are you going? - Wali's grave was here?

Careful

You almost got hit. what are you doing?

Wali's shrine was here

A mob razed it during the riots

Keep quiet!

You can't remember anything

I know I forget, but...

Wali's shrine was definitely here

How can it just disappear?

It's on a different road, let's go

Sit

Sit

Muneera!

Jyoti!

I can't believe it

It was worse

I've been cleaning for hours

Do you know who did this?

No

I was at my aunt's

Good you were not here

When did all this happen?

Don't think about it. what's the use?

Some food

I hid it from my mother

So you knew the kitchen would be this bad?

No

Not as bad as this

Give - Keep it outside

I have a henna job tonight

will you come?

What? Are you crazy?

Muneera!

Listen

You need the money now

A rich family

The bride and six-seven women, that's it!

Five thousand for each of us!

Five...

Really?

Then what?

There's a price to marrying in such times

Oh God! I'll keep this outside

But

henna...

What? - I have no henna

Don't worry, I've enough for both of us

So you thought even about this?

Sure!

Am I not your best friend?

Then tell me, who did this?

I told you I don't know

I was at my aunt's

Forget it

lf we go for the henna, when will we return?

Hanif will be back by ten - For sure by nine

Come on...

people have been raped,

killed, burnt alive, for no fault of theirs

Anu, there are always two sides to a coin

lf those people hadn't started this violence...

things would not have been this bad

No offence, Sameer

I can't believe you're justifying this madness

Tell me...

when your maid ran away with all your jewellery...

you didn't go and torch the whole Chhara community, did you?

Guys, please, come on

You are leaving tomorrow

And can we change the topic please?

In any case,

we too have had our own share of loss

A loss that's covered by insurance!

Let's go

we've got tons to do

Sit, guys

There! That must be Raman

Hail to the Goddess!

we're collecting funds for the new temple

It's okay

That's all?

Such a big house and such a small heart

The Goddess will not be happy with so little

The Goddess will be, but you won't

That's true - Name?

Sameer

Last name?

Desai

May the Goddess bless you with more wealth

And you too!

See, Madam

After marriage you didn't become a Muslim...

but your husband has just become a Hindu

And that too...

with your surname!

You don't know how many times I've silently thanked his parents...

for naming him Sameer

Actually, I didn't even know Sameer was a Muslim name...

until I met you

It's in Arabic

It means a companion who talks to you in the evening

And stays quiet the whole day

Too scared to open his mouth

There were so many of them.

They were all shouting

They burnt my mother and also my brother

They even killed my little sister, my uncle, my aunt

You saw all this?

Some even came with swords

They made my aunt naked and killed her...

but they didn't take off the men's clothes

Where were you?

I was hiding inside a garbage bin

Then?

Then Yusuf uncle took me to Shahpur camp

But I want to go to my father

Where is he?

I don't know

when they came, father had gone to the market

Maybe your mother got saved. was she wearing a black scarf?

No, mother always wore a sari

Come here

My name is not Mohan, it's Mohsin

In the kitchen Mohsin and outside Mohan. Okay?

I don't want to go back in camp.

Will you stay here?

Will you help me in finding my father?

They burn your hand too.

Please say something

Say what?

Is there anything left to be said?

Bhai, I really didn't know

Then you should've found out, idiot

Had I known of the police report...

we wouldn't have stood there like fools

But Barot told me - Hell with that Barot!

This bloody new DCP is looking for suckers he can nail

One or two will do. The rest will go scot free

I know everyone's names

Oh God!

Idiot, in such matters you can't be a witness

You know that in rape cases they lock you up for seven years

Now because of you, I'm stuck

Get some water

You say there are cases of rape. That's not true

What violence? All women are safe

In that society, all are safe

So...

was it fun having the fruit?

It's okay, you can tell me

I wasn't the only one

Are you getting water or digging a well?

I'm scared

Don't worry

No one comes to the kitchen

You sit...

sit here quietly

Nothing will happen

I swear

They didn't think twice before killing my young girls

They dishonoured them

How can you 'dishonour' those who have no honour?

And you have honour?

I meant...

Come in

I don't really enjoy violence

I'm leaving. Are you coming or not?

Mohsin

Oh Allah!

Who is it?

Munna

Who? - Munna

Hanif bhai

Sit

Munna just told me about your uncle

May Allah keep him safe

we couldn't protect him

when they came, we didn't realise the mob was so big

we somehow got Uncle out

And ran towards Nanapura crossing

But the police said go to Pethipada Road

There, a bigger mob...

with trishuls and swords...

waiting for us. Mother-fuckers!

Allah!

I don't know what happened

I was holding uncle's hand...

and then I don't know

Stop it, Lala!

I've buried more dead

than you've seen alive

Make the kid sleep inside

Look, how scared she is

She doesn't leave the baby even while cooking

She takes him even to the toilet!

What's the point of living like this?

I'm going to kill them

You were safe across the bridge so you can say that

You don't think we'd want to kill those bastards?

Then come, let's do it

Who all will you kill?

First will be Mehul

Mehul?

I'll show him what it means to wake up in ashes

Wait

They are back, sister-fuckers!

Hanif

Come on, topple it

Sir, what are you doing?

Who's in uniform?

Who's wearing the uniform? - You, sir

Then why are you asking questions?

lf you like asking questions...

come to the police station you'll get all the answers

Spill it. what are you waiting for?

Saw that!

How they take care of us?

We fill up water to put out fires

And they,

come and spill it

I can't take any more.

I'll go mad

Listen

Do you still have it? Suleiman's pistol?

Go on, who will he tell?

lf I had it, wouldn't I have protected Uncle?

Suleiman took it back

Bloody hen-pecked husband...

ran away to Surat

I need a weapon. Just for tonight

Have you even seen a pistol?

Don't know if the pistol is there

But Altaf's uncle has the key to Suleiman's shop

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Yes, get it and bore a hole right through my head

Have you gone crazy? - Yes, I have

All my life I baked bread in a bakery

was that so wrong?

Was that so wrong?

I want a pistol

where is Haleem's Khadki?

You run home there's trouble ahead

Go now

You, come here

What's the hurry? Why are you running?

Because they're stolen berries!

Ask him his name? - What's your name?

Mo... Mohan

Mohan!

We know of the Mohan who stole butter...

but this one steals berries

Give... give...

In Saudi Arabia, you know what they do to thieves?

Chop their hands off

Hang them upside down and thrash them

Look how scared he is - Where do you live?

There, he says

Then why are you here?

Run before your mother calls the cops

Go

See how he ran. So scared!

This is sick!

Look, how she's got a Honda waiting for her

Fatso, show us your face

lf that was visible, the police would have bled her for lakhs

Stop! Stop!

Rewind

Pause

The bastard who rammed into our car!

What?

Didn't you note his number?

No.

I did something even smarter

I gave them 800 rupees

For damaging our car and for looting our store!

Great, Sameer Shaikh.

Brilliant!

Stop it

It's not your fault

Of course it is

Can't you see it?

To begin with, your store was looted because I am your partner

well...

yes

But I would not have had that store without you

Right!

You wouldn't have had that store without me

And now you don't have the store because of me

See it this way

Anu was with you, so you had to pay those guys

That's our system

we live in a country like this

Didn't I have to pay? 10,000 for a CD that belongs to me?

That too just five minutes of it

It didn't pay because of Anu was with me

I paid because...

I was scared

Sameer, come on...

I'm not going to let you play the victim now, please

Stop it

What would you know about being a victim?

Have you ever had to change your name?

Before praising a Pakistani player, do you have to think twice?

Do you ever have to worry about someone stripping your pants...

...to check your... - Hey, come on. Don't over react.

Don't overdo this.

Did you go through with strip search? - But I could be.

And that terrifies me.

Sameer!

scared at some point of time

Of who you are?

Sameer!

You can thank my parents a thousand times for naming me Sameer

But I can feel the burden of that name

Really?

what happened when the donation guy asked your surname?

Then you should have said Sameer Shaikh. why didn't you?

Because I have no balls, okay?

I'm shit scared!

God! what a wimp I've become

when the going gets tough, I decide to run

You know what?

We don't need to go to Delhi

Yeah

Let's not go to Delhi

Seriously, Anu

Can we reconsider this?

Don't do this to me

Please don't do this

15 days ago you give me a million reasons...

why this move is good for us

I hated the idea, absolutely hated it

Then I began convincing myself

You just said how bloody scared you are

Do you think after hearing this, I would want us to stay here?

The point is you are Sameer Arshad Shaikh

And that will change nowhere

we have our life packed in boxes

And the movers are coming at eight

I want to go home

When did you return from your aunt's?

This morning

When did you go there?

Don't remember

I told you, I don't know

Quiet! wear this, or you'll catch a cold

lf I could lay my hands on those bastards, I'd kill them

Muneera

Now try and look better. It's a wedding house

You look fine, so that should do

They know me. Come

Tom tana na na

Tanum

dere na?

What's after that? I lost you there

It's because I lost myself

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I went to Wali's shrine

October...

...1960.

It was a full moon night

It rained all day, which was unusual

So Panditji and I decided to sing Raga Malhar at the radio station

He insisted on dropping me home

On the way

he suddenly stopped his

scooter at the shrine

There he started reciting wali

My beloved's lane is like the holy city

Therein resides my ascetic heart

After a day's rain and bathed in moonlight...

Suddenly, I felt something stir at his grave

Do you know what it was?

A rat!

In the dark,

In the dark, all three of us lost ourselves in Wali's words

Nobody moved

Not me,

not Panditji, not Lord Ganesha's rat

Pamphlets had been distributed in villages that said...

'Sarkhej is mini-Pakistan. Finish it off

Truckloads from villages attacked us

Wali was originally from the south

But he loved Gujarat so much...

that this became his home

Every time I passed the shrine...

I stopped by to pray

When I read in the papers

that his shrine was destroyed...

that's when I learnt

who this great poet was

I knew it

I knew we were on the right road

Turn your thumb up

What were you doing at this hour?

I was cutting pumpkin to make you both some pudding

All because of this stupid television

How do you switch it off?

We'll have to go to the hospital

A few stitches will fix it. Let's go

Don't waste time. Come, let's go

You stay here. I'll take him

Come,

Let's go

Take care

That's nice

Now it feels like a henna night

Hardly! Remember Sonia's wedding?

Just for the henna night, there were 50 people

I don't want to remember

Aunty, Vineet and his friends did a fab dance

Really? - Just like Shahrukh!

So you guys also dance

Oh God! I'd so many plans

These bloody riots have ruined everything

But there's nothing in our area

It's all the same - Aunty, let's not take this too lightly

Actually, that's true. Yesterday I got an email from a friend...

that had a list of all Muslim rickshaw numbers to be avoided

I find these Muslims damn scary. what if they kill you?

Anyways, forget it please

Let's just have some fun

What are you doing?

Manasi, come on, let's dance - No, it's just getting done

Come on....

Come on, Aunty

Are you sure you didn't see anyone break into my house?

lf you ask me ten times, you think I'll say I did?

Hanif said you'd know everything

Listen, Muneera

we both know...

Mehul and Hanif don't get along

But that's never come between us

why start now?

You started it

I think Mehul's gang did it

You never know

In such times anyone can do anything

Everyone take a break and have the snacks

And give those two some tea

Give her to me

No, it's fine

Muneera!

Stop it

Why isn't mother serving us today?

Son, your mother's gone mad

Are you crazy?

What the hell are you doing?

Morning you opened your mouth, now you've shut your ears

I'll give you one whack

Altaf will meet you at Suleiman's shop

I can't leave Zehra alone

who's that?

It's Ghogha

What are you doing here? Come home

Ghogha

What? What's he saying?

That he likes Preity Zinta

The Uncle who got killed, he's his son

Let him come with us - How will he go without me?

So you also come

Yes, come

Okay

lf the woman next door sits with Zehra, I'll come

It'll be good for me to get out

Come soon

Is he always like this? - Yes, since childhood

Ever since he hurt his head

Does he know?

What?

That his father is no more?

How would I know?

Hanif, since when did you start smoking?

Recently, out of tension

Quick, get in

we must come back soon

Let's go

Lucky! Keep three bun omelettes ready. I'll be back soon

Some people carry on like nothing's happened

Because they can

And we can't

That's why we must leave

Come... Sameer Saheb

Seeing you after ages

Lucky's night is now double lucky

Two bun omelettes, the best

One with chillies cancelled

Correct! - Very good

Should we get it packed? It's getting late

No, please have a seat, Madam

Come, let's eat it here, nice and hot

Sit.

Lucky, what's new?

These bloody riots have flattened my business

I can't ask the shopkeepers to give me a special riot discount

Don't worry

whatever happens, your omelette will remain a hit

You don't know...

to be here I have to feed the entire lot for free.

That too all alone

where's your help, Chhotiya?

Since the riots began, he's been missing

I pray for him everyday

Listen

we'll be fine in Delhi

A fresh start is always a good thing

Yes

whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Sameer Saheb...

if those Muslims didn't begin all this, the city wouldn't be burning

Violence is in their blood

we are taught to be tolerant. And they, to be Jihadis

Then Chhotiya also must be a Jihadi?

What?

Chhotiya and Jihadi?

He wouldn't hurt an ant

But Chhotiya is not like them

I've known many Muslims. All bloody fanatics

I am...

a Muslim

Stop it

That's a good one

No, really

I am a Muslim

Will you stop it, Sameer?

Saheb

These days it's dangerous to even joke like that

You never know when

Sir, today what would you like?

Omelette, scrambled or boiled egg?

Come on, wind up

There's going to be trouble tonight

Also you two

Let's go

A minute, Sir. Just finishing

In such times you can't indulge like this

Stop licking your fingers and go

Sir, we're leaving

In fact, we're leaving the city for good

He loves Lucky's omelette, so for the last time

What's your name?

I'm Anuradha Desai. He's my husband, Sameer

Tell Mr. Desai not to act too smart.

Now get going

Give this to Chhotiya when you meet him

Let me clarify

I'm not Mr. Desai

I am Mr. Shaikh

Shaikh? Then why did you lie?

I didn't

My name is Sameer Shaikh

And she's my wife, Anuradha Desai

Now I understand...

why you're so cocky

Get going - We're going

Go straight to Pakistan

And you, shut your shop now

Why did you do that?

Because it felt good

Bloody good

Yusuf Uncle

Mohsin? what are you doing here?

Come... careful

You said father would come to the camp

But he didn't

How did you come here?

I ran away from the camp

Crazy!

At night, never roam around like this

Sit here

I'll drop you in a bit

Uncle,

give me Suleiman's keys

I know who wrecked Suleiman's shop

They are going to pay for it

I can't understand...

why you guys act so smart?

Those who have died, are they going to come back?

Give me the keys

Wait!

Before you go, drop him at Shahpur relief camp

I can't go there right now - In Allah's name, have a heart

He's become an orphan

Hurry up

Come, he'll drop you to the camp

I'll be there in the morning

With my father?

Yes

Drop him to the camp first

I'm so scared

Don't worry

we'll reach soon

License? - Open the boot

Go ahead

Don't worry,

bindi is there on your forehead

It's so late. Hanif's going to kill me

I'll handle it

Come ahead

At this hour?

Sir,

we'd gone on a henna job

License? - Sure... I have it

And she?

Both of us went

Okay, go - Thank you

Mohsin, get in

Come

Be careful of the glass

Sit here.

Sit here quietly

Who is it? - It's us. Open

Munna? - Open

Where the hell were you?

We left the rickshaw near Lal Darwaza and walked -

Oh Allah!

Who's this? - What could I do?

Yusuf Uncle dumped him on me. I've to drop him at Shahpur camp

You...

what's your name?

Where the hell is that pistol?

First let's clear this mess. Then I'll look for the hidden safe

Suleiman was a rich bugger

What's the use of being rich?

He ran at the first sight of trouble

It's better than living here in fear

True

Of course you'd say that

You too ran away

wonder how you slept among those Hindus

And you slept better amongst the Muslims?

Look,

he named his shop Parimal

what good was it to keep a Hindu name!

Couldn't you have done something?

weren't there weapons anywhere?

where they were, there was curfew all the time

when you're scared to even breathe you don't think of weapons

Sure you do, I thought of guns, pistols, bombs

But what I most thought of, was my mother

I could do nothing

My pores still smell of the dead

I still dream of their dried blood, the burnt flesh -

It's been so long.

Where the hell is your hidden safe?

There is no safe here. He is just bullshitting

Found it!

Ghogha!

Is it real?

Yes, it's small but real

Careful, might be loaded - Open and see

Shit,

it's empty!

They broke open locks, destroyed our homes

Most families have only one surviving member...

Thread is all it took

It's okay, leave it

No, I'm fine. I'll do it

It won't be needed

There'll be no gathering tomorrow

What do you mean?

You were right

I was wrong

It's pointless... pointless

Khan Saheb

lf you lose hope, then what happens to the likes of us

How can just seven musical notes have the strength...

to stand up against such hatred

Wait here. Let me see

Go from here...go...

Jyoti, what happened?

Say nothing, just follow me

Just come - Tell me what's going on?

The police say there are weapons in your house - what?

Come

What weapons?

Softly, others will wake up

Look, stay here till the search ends

Sit

Put Nazo here

Need anything?

Instead of weapons, they should look for those who burnt our house?

Softly, Nazo will wake up

You still won't tell me?

Enough now, stop it

Change, if you want to

By keeping quiet, who are you protecting?

Me or you? - God! Forget it

It's easy for you. It's not your house they burnt

You're still burning, what about that?

Tell the truth that you were there. I won't tell Hanif, I swear

My pendant...

My pendant...

What? What did you say?

The gold pendant

My grandma gave me. I dropped it somewhere

So it was you in my house?

Hanif found your pendant

So you saw it all

How could you do it?

Did Mehul force you?

What?

Tell me. Did you bring kerosene from my kitchen or yours?

All we found was one bullet

That too oversized

I'm telling you, it'll fit

You were right

Now what'll you do with this pistol?

What I've wanted to do all day.

Get that mother-fucker Mehul to taste some real fear

And then what? - Nothing. I'll go home

Or what's left of it

what if a mob comes to your house to take your little girl?

Then what'll you do? - I'll kill them all

How?

That one bullet you would have wasted on Mehul

lf anyone really needs the pistol, it's me

You saw how the police behaves

But they didn't burn your house - You know I have a pregnant wife

Wait. I brought the keys, fitted the bullet

So I have the first right

It was my idea to get a weapon. what did you all do?

And you?

Spent the month, hiding happily - Happily?

Hidden in that basement, scared to even

Ask me what it is to be scared

lf there is anyone who deserves the pistol, it's me

It's always about you from the time I've known you

It's always me, me, me

Shut up, you haven't suffered like him

Do you know how I've suffered?

Because my hands don't smell of the dead...

doesn't mean I've not suffered

The keys were with Yusuf Uncle, not you

lf I was there, he'd have given it to me

You just called him a hen-pecked husband!

I did, so? - You are no less?

Meaning? - We know who wears the pants in your house

In fact, you can take the pistol, Muneera is like fifty bullets!

That was our only bullet

Father!

Don't be scared. Come

Shut up

What's he saying?

He's saying he'll handle the police

So let him go - Are you mad?

They won't get a word out of him

Go, keep them engaged

Careful - Let's go

Careful - Let's go

Hanif, I can't leave Ghogha behind

Wait! - No, you go

Run

Come here

Come

Where did the gunshot come from?

He can't speak

But he is able to hear. where did the gunshot...

Sir, wait. Let me ask

where did the gunshot come from?

Let's go

I can't leave him like this - Nothing will happen to him

Are you crazy? He is a child

Boom! - Exactly

Not a bomb... gunshot

Don't look down, look up. He is making a fool of us

They've caught him. Hanif, take the kid and run

Saheb! - Someone's there

Put him in the jeep

Please leave him, he is my brother. He's innocent

Stop.

Run!

Stop, you bastard

You Muslim, stop

Hide here

I'll be back

Who was he?

A bloody Muslim. Where did he go?

This way

There's still time

Why are you up so early?

What happened?

I just realized something

What?

Every single box in this house is...

packed with my fears

So what's the point of moving?

What do you mean?

Just what you said

I am Sameer Arshad Shaikh

And that's not going to change anywhere

Nowhere

But, what if tomorrow we're scared again?

It's possible

But this is our home

So let's screw the rest

Sorry for the delayed response

Aarti...

where's the tea?

Aarti...

Want to play?
