"Speak up."

For God's sake, please agree.

Stop being stubborn.

A lot of vice doesn't end in our society because we don't speak up.

We keep quiet.

Sometimes for our own honour...

...and sometimes for someone else's.

Even if one family changes after listening to your story...

...then a lot of girls will get a new life.

And imagine, how big an achievement it will be...

...if 1000-2000 families change.

Sir, the Russian ambassador has sent a request...

...for an one-to-one meeting. - Okay.

With your permission, sir, should I give them...

...Monday's appointment? - Sure.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, this is an appeal for amnesty for a woman.

An appeal for amnesty.

What is this?

Her last wish in case the appeal gets rejected, sir.

Why has it come to me?

Sir, it is a strange request.

Only you can allow it.

Sir, this girl wants to stand at the execution podium...

...and tell the world her story through television channels.

Standing at the execution podium? Why?

I don't know, sir.

Perhaps she thinks that what she will say...

...will have a greater impact that way.

Is there a political motive behind it?

I don't think so, sir.

She is a virtuous woman from a religious family.

Alright.

Do get a copy of the recording. - Okay, sir.

Come... Let's go.

Sister. - My child.

Sister. - My child.

My child.

My baby. My child.

Stop crying, all of you.

You have cried enough, all your life.

Throw away these 'Burkas'.

And make a life for yourself.

Consider this to be my last wish, mother.

No. No, my child. No.

Throw away these 'Burkas'!

My child. My child. No, no, no.

Come on, ma'am. It's time. - No! - No, no, no! - Sister.

Mother. - My child.

Mother. - No.

Mother!

Mother!

No! No, let go of my daughter! - Mother.

No! No! No!

Allah. - Mother.

Allah, my child. - Mother.

No.

Sister. Sister.

Sister.

Sister. - Sister.

No, sister. Sister. - Sister.

Sister. Sister.

Madam...

Madam, what do you want to say?

Madam, speak up.

Madam, what do you want to say?

Madam, speak up.

My name is Suleiman Doggar.

And I am jailor.

This jail is my territory.

4 o'clock is the cutoff time.

No matter at what stage the story is at the cutoff time...

...I will stop it.

And all of you will have to vacate this place...

...on a notice of a few seconds.

At any cost.

Otherwise, your cameras are very delicate.

And the batons in my guards' hands are very strong.

What do you think...

...why did I call you here?

I think you want to confess to your crimes...

...so that people can learn a lesson from it.

Okay. Any other reason?

Ma'am, you might want to tell us that you are innocent.

I am not innocent.

I am indeed a killer.

But I am just a killer not a criminal.

Isn't a killer a criminal?

It is not necessary.

The court considered me a criminal...

...because I didn'tjustify myself.

When you didn't speak up in the court then why now?

If I would have said it in the court...

...then it would have been considered...

...that I am lying to save my life.

Anyway...

I have very little time and the story is very long.

Hence I will start saying it.

When the partition took place...

...maximum number of people who came to Pakistan...

...went to different cities passing through Lahore.

A similar family which came from Delhi...

...stayed here for a few days then went to Karachi.

But one gentleman, that is my grandfather...

...Hakim Sayed Hasmathullah Khan...

...found Lahore to be just like Delhi.

'He decided to stay here.'

'He claimed the house and a shop left by Hakim Lala Chuniram... '

'... in a lane inside Delhi Darwaza.'

'And he started practicing traditional medicine.'

'As time passed by... '

'... doctors replaced Hakims.'

'And Hakims started losing their importance.'

'My father's income also started reducing.'

'But his children... kept on increasing.'

'A midwife was present in our house every second year.'

'My mother gave birth to 14 children.'

'Lf the Angel of Death wouldn't have helped... '

'... then I wonder what would have happened.'

'But what happened in spite of their help was not good.'

We have been blessed with a boy after offering so many prayers...

...and you are sitting with a long face.

You come to your shop with me.

I want to discuss something very important with you.

Okay. You go to the shop.

I will say the prayers in his ear and come.

God works in mysterious ways.

There is a slight problem.

I pray that Allah gives him a good fate.

What happened?

That child looks fine, but...

But what?

But he is not fine.

He looks like a boy, but he isn't.

You can consider it to be a girl.

There is nothing to worry about.

You are a very renowned Hakim.

Feed the child some herbs and God might have mercy on him.

For God's sake, please go away from here.

What kind of a test is this, Almighty?

After so many daughters you gave me a...

How could you even think about it?

Why don't you understand what it means to keep him alive.

Do you have any idea what he will be once he grows up?

And what will the society do with him?

Only if the society comes to know about it.

We will spread the word that he is possessed.

We won't even let him leave the house.

We will consider him to be our daughter...

...and not send him to school.

Then what problem do you have?

And how long will you do all this?

All your life? - Yes, I will do it all my life.

But I cannot even think about what you are suggesting.

How can you be so heartless.

It would have been better if you would have given me another daughter.

I am worried sick with the thought that...

...I am still not spared.

Your desire for a son is still alive.

Oh, God.

Hakim isn't here yet?

He will be here soon.

Look, there he is.

Hello.

Hello.

Shafeeq, please go out for sometime.

Is everything fine at home?

Hakim, I think Allah has sent help for you in the form of that child.

You know Sheema? She is standing outside.

Sheema, come inside.

Hello, Hakim.

I came to know that the angels...

...have by mistake given you something that belongs to us.

No one knows about it.

I will bring up the child.

It will help me in my old age.

Why have you brought her here?

She is not asking you to just give the child away.

She will give you a lot of money.

If both of you ever come here again then I will kill you.

First of all, that child is of no use to you.

Secondly, today I am giving you money for it.

Will it be fine if he grows up and comes to me on his own?

Will both of you leave or...

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's leave.

I will make 500 eunuchs stand naked outside your shop.

A naked eunuch's curse results in disaster.

Your family will be ruined.

Wretched being.

'Father hated the false spring which he got... '

'... after offering so many prayers so much... '

'... that he even refused to name the child.'

'He said... '

Why does he need a name?

He anyway doesn't have to go to school.

'We named him Saifullah.'

'He was affectionately called Saifee.'

'Father's terror always ruled the house.'

'Saifee saw the hatred in his eyes when he was growing up.'

'He would hide in a room as soon as father would arrive.'

'That isolated room on the terrace.'

'It was a palace of pictures of olden times.'

'It became his permanent hideout.'

'He spent his childhood playing this hide-and-seek game.'

'Sending him to school was out of question.'

'Father shared this secret with a friend he could trust.'

'And he agreed to teach Saifee without any compensation.'

Saifee. Come out. And ask him to leave immediately.

Beware if you allow any outsider do this to you.

Saifu, only family members caress on the cheeks.

It is a bad thing if anyone else does it.

Got it?

And it has been so many days...

...you didn't make any sketch.

Make one today.

Okay?

Let father come.

Then see how I complain about this man and get him thrashed.

You go outside.

No. - You rascal.

Father. - I knew...

Mother. - No.

You will give me nothing but shame.

Look, mother, Saifee is inside. - Open it. Open the door.

No! - What are you doing?

Get lost. - What is happening inside? - Go away from here.

"Days are troubled."

"Nights are disturbed."

"Days are troubled."

"Nights are disturbed."

"But life is still very dear."

"What is this drama?"

"It has been going on since so long."

"What is this charade?"

"It has been going on since so long."

"But life is still very dear."

"Days are troubled."

"Who will stop this story?"

"Who will think about it all his life?"

"Who will stop this story?"

"Who will think about it all his life?"

"Who will think about it all his life?"

"Whether it is spent or borne together."

"Whether it is spent or borne together."

"But life is still very dear."

"Days are troubled."

After some years, I was married off.

Looking at the number of daughters he had...

...father blindly accepted the very first marriage proposal.

In that family, too, there was only one earning member...

...and ten mouths to feed.

I had decided...

...I would not get pregnant till our financial conditions improved.

My husband's hands were not in his control.

The fights increased.

As a result I had to leave my in-laws.

When I went back to my father's house...

...I saw that along with Saifee, my sisters too were growing up.

Hey.

Throw the ball.

Come on. Come on. Sara, go move a little.

Sister Aisha, it will come towards you.

Ball her out.

Catch it.

Father is back.

I am going to the shrine in Pakpatan next week.

Give me some money before you leave.

The situation is such that tomorrow is Prophet's birthday...

...and there is nothing to give in offering.

Offering will surely be given.

I will do something.

Mother, again I get only this much of greens?

I always end up staying hungry.

There are so many mouths to feed...

...and your income is decreasing day by day.

I wonder what will happen.

The one who has given a mouth...

...will give the morsel as well.

Have faith in Him.

We were eleven brothers and sisters.

And my father was the only earning member.

We managed, didn't we?

Does one ever die because of starvation?

We fall short of food because you cook it so delicious.

God has blessed you with only two attributes.

You cook well and you give birth to a lot of girls.

This is not right, Saifu.

You are a young man.

You should eat your own food.

I used to eat on my own when you were not here.

I will eat on my own if you feel bad.

I don't feel bad, Saifu.

Now I want you to learn to stand on your own feet.

And be a man.

It is not difficult to be a man.

Always keep your eyebrows like this.

Make your voice heavy.

Keep scolding and hitting your family over every small thing.

I am not asking you to be like father.

There is the master and Mustafa as well, right?

Brother Mustafa is very nice.

Sakina, my child, that's enough.

Go on the terrace and have some fun.

You know, once I hid father's cap. - Oh God.

He scolded so much when he came to know...

Is your father here? - No, no, no.

I think she has brought 'Kheer' (sweetmeat)

Hello, aunt. - Hello, dear.

Mother has sent 'Kheer'. - 'Kheer'.

Where is your mother?

She is coming, aunt. - Where were you the whole day?

I got late in the college because of my exams.

Your mother is here. - Sister, bring it quickly.

'Kheer' is here.

Hello, sister. - Hello.

How are you?

It is so tasty.

It has to be.

You should have checked. Being a Shiite your aunt may have spat on it.

Dear, if it is very sweet then consider that...

...not your aunt but I have spat on it.

Very tasty.

Eat slowly.

You have eaten my share as well.

We have to wait for a whole year for aunt's 'Kheer'.

Hello. - Hello.

Welcome, Hakim.

Hakim you are a little late.

Without your permission we have given you a responsibility.

And I hope that you won't refuse to accept it.

Order me.

We have laid the foundation of the mosque committee.

Mr. Sheikh is the chairman of it.

And we cannot find anyone better or honest...

...for the post of treasurer.

Everyone thinks the same.

That is your greatness.

Mr. Sheikh has started this with 50,000.

You take care of it.

God bless you.

Hey, end this get together.

Police is coming.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

'Other than father everyone else used to really like the master's family.'

'His wife was my mother's best friend.'

'His family was a role model for us.'

'In spite of his meager income both his children were studying medicine.'

'Whereas we sisters were asked to sit home after 5th grade.'

'There were so many people to work at home... '

'... that we used to fall short of work.'

'And it would become difficult to kill time.'

'Our house's wall was joined to the school's.'

'But it was miles away for us.'

'The noise children made used to make all of us restless.'

'In our house father's absence was celebrated as a Festival.'

"Accept me or reject, my beloved."

"My beloved."

"Decide once for all, my beloved."

"My beloved."

"Accept me or reject, my beloved."

"My beloved."

"Decide once for all, my beloved."

"My beloved."

"Holding your hand and being by your side was a mistake my love..."

"Holding your hand and being by your side was a mistake my love..."

"All my desires got burnt."

"My life got ruined."

"Go and be with someone else, my beloved."

"My beloved."

"Do it not once but a million times, my beloved."

"My beloved."

'My younger sister Aisha and Mustafa were good friends since childhood.'

'Aisha had learnt how to play guitar from him.'

'Father's income was reducing day by day.'

'But childbirth wasn't seeing an end.'

'After Salma and Hifza, one more brother and sister were delivered.'

'But fortunately they didn't survive.'

'Mother had no say at all.'

'Finally I had to take the brave step.'

'Once father went to Pakpatan for a religious festival.'

'And I got an opportunity.'

You go outside.

Are your hands washed?

Yes.

Keep your hand on this and say that...

...you have not done something to yourself.

What do you mean?

Why aren't we having a child since so many years?

You still not that old.

Will you say something...

...or should I slap you?

I can answer your question, father.

Why have you locked the door?

Because I want to tell you things...

...which perhaps no daughter must have told her father.

Mother should have said this...

...but she loses her voice in your presence.

Really? You don't seem to have such issues.

Speak up.

I got mother operated to stop the population of this house.

Curse you.

What have you done?

You know what big a crime you have committed?

You have interfered in God's doing.

He is the one who gives life.

He surely does, father.

But that doesn't mean what you think.

It means that He has given us the means to create life.

How many children will Hakim Shefathullah have...

...and how many will Master Akhtar Hussein have...

...is not dictated to angels by God.

Ask for Gods forgiveness.

Atone girl.

Oh, my God.

Why don't you understand such a simple thing?

The more the mouths the more the food we will need.

And why don't you understand...

...that He has taken the responsibility to feed us.

Really?

Then I am sure the angels don't have our right address.

Because we are not getting it.

There are so many people dying in this world out of hunger.

Are they dying because...

...God is not fulfilling His responsibility?

Ask for salvation girl...

You ask for it, father.

Because I am honoring God.

I am explaining His word to you.

Great. You will explain His word to me?

Isn't it enough that his prophet said...

...that his following should be the highest on the day ofjudgement.

Have mercy, father. Have mercy.

How can such a big messenger say such a thing?

He must have surely said that his people should be the highest.

But highest not in number but in respect...

...status and progress.

How can he say that even if they are dumb...

...but they should be highest in number.

Even if they are dying of hunger they must be highest in number!!!

Like a typical man...

You raise your hand when you are speechless.

Father, look at mother.

Look at what you have done to her.

I wish I was God.

I would make every man give birth to a child.

So that you would know...

Let go of my daughter.

For God's sake, let go of my daughter. Let go of her.

Tell her that I should neither see her nor hear her again.

We will build this mosque within a year.

That's great. That's great. - Come.

Full marks to you.

Wow. Great.

You have opened the door at the right time.

I am in a hurry today.

Mr. Durrani has a court hearing to attend.

So, another 40,000 was collected as donation.

Keep this money in your safe custody.

Tea... - No, no, no.

We will get late. We have to go to court.

We will meet at afternoon Prayers.

I have requested you earlier as well...

...to give the responsibility of money to someone else.

Hakim, I, too, always told you that...

...Mr. Sheikh has gone to England.

He will decide when he returns. - Okay.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Sister Aisha, guitar.

Why do you always hear it before me?

I think you really like to keep a watch.

Come.

Upstairs?

Yes, come. Nothing will happen.

Are you crazy? Someone will see us.

You just come up.

Ashi, I have thought of something.

You, too, should come with me and sing in our concert.

Only someone crazy can think of such a thing.

Fine. This crazy guy has thought of this.

I will take you with me.

Yes, of course. Why not.

I am telling the truth, Ashi.

If we together cut an album then it will be a blast.

I don't want anymore blasts.

Isn't it enough that I have blasted your heart?

Now there will be a blast...

...when father will find out about us.

You started getting depressed again?

You should sometimes see a good picture of your future as well.

Next year, God willing, when I will be a doctor...

...you will be my wife, a singer and a celebrity.

I will be a what? - A celebrity.

You will be famous.

Ready?

Shall we begin?

"We were to fall in love..."

"We were to fall in love..."

"...and we did, my love."

"We were to fall in love..."

"...and we did, my love."

"I saw..."

"...a million faces."

"We were to fall in love..."

"...and we did, my love."

"My love."

"We were to fall in love..."

"In your heart..."

"...I started dwelling."

"I did."

"The dream that you saw..."

"...became mine."

"It did."

"We drowned in such a way..."

"...that we reached the shore."

"We were to fall in love..."

"...and we did, my love."

"My love."

"We were to fall in love..."

"Following my heart..."

"...I reached my destination."

"My destination."

"I found answers in your questions."

"Your questions."

"The trail of thoughts..."

"The trail..."

"...shouldn't end, my love."

"We were to fall in love..."

"We were to fall in love..."

"...and we did, my love."

"...and we did, my love."

"We were to fall in love..."

"My love."

Oh, what should I tell you?

You cannot even imagine what kind of places there are in Lahore.

Mustafa was saying that he has just shown 25'/, of Lahore.

I wonder when we will get to see all this.

Tell us more, sister. - What else did you see?

And... and I also had snacks at the Anarkali Market.

Oh, God. - We had a lot of fun.

Poor Mustafa had to shell out a lot of money as well.

Wow. That's a very nice sketch.

Aisha. - This one is so good.

Yes.

This one is better.

What have you done? - What happened?

Look, he tore a page from Mustafa's magazine and made this on it.

Aisha, you are bothered about Mustafa's magazine?

Look, what a beautiful sketch brother has made.

Aisha, I wish we could send him to a drawing school.

'Cricket commentary on the radio... '

'... was a joyous occasion for us.'

'Father was a cricket fan.'

'But after listening it for so long and... '

'... watching it on television at Mustafa's house... '

'... we too knew a lot about it.'

'What used to happen was as the match would get excited... '

'... father's rosary's beads would move faster.'

'And we were told to concentrate on our prayers.'

Mother, look, what Sara is praying for.

Now will you say it or not?

Mother, she was praying that Tendulkar should hit a century.

She is talking nonsense, father.

Am I lying?

Don't you get upset when he gets out?

And also tell him how crazy you are about Afridi.

Enough! Stop this nonsense!

They have become so crude under your guidance...

...that they find something shameful in cricket as well.

I should find you praying when I return.

Did you hear me?

Do you have any idea what you two have done?

In a house where you aren't allowed to do anything else but breathe...

Do you have any idea what your nonsense will result in?

Do you have any idea?

She started it, sister.

I was fed up hearing her talk about Afridi.

Fine. Now bear the consequences.

Now for your own good start praying...

...for Pakistani's victory.

'Pakistani players are celebrating.'

'Another batsman got out.'

'But the third umpire will make the final decision.'

'And the third umpire declared him not out.'

'Yes. He was declared not out by the third umpire.'

You made us lose, fools.

If you would have prayed from your heart...

...then your prayers would have been accepted.

It is also possible that our team didn't play well.

Stop your nonsense.

You are right, Sara.

I wonder what we think prayers are.

Entire Pakistan prays yet we always lose.

And the Australians are winning...

...without prayers since the last 20 years.

You started with your nonsense again?

I warned you that I should never hear you again.

Why, father? Because I will once again make you speechless?

I am telling you, ask her to keep quiet.

Otherwise, I will raise my hand once again.

Convince me with your words instead.

Give me logic.

You don't have any brains.

You don't understand that without His orders...

...not even a single leaf moves.

Enough, father. What do you think?

That God decides how much runs Inzemaam and Tendulkar...

...will make in the match today?

Whenever India and Pakistan's match takes place...

...it causes uproar at both the places.

Entire Pakistan is troubling Allah...

...and the whole of India is troubling their Gods.

They don't understand that God would...

...make them win the match then why would they lose so much?

And neither do we understand that...

...if Allah had to decide the matches...

...then why would he take 17 years to make us win?

Perhaps, your God and my God are different, father.

Because we don't understand the kind of religion...

...you are forcing on us.

We are tired of praying.

Prayers are neither helping us with matches...

...nor helping the situation of the house improve.

And nor are they getting married.

Hey, why are you staring at me?

Your sister will getjealous.

Ashi praised your drawing.

Hence, I have brought this for you.

Take this.

Now you don't get bored while watching out for us.

Come over.

Usually someone with so many daughters...

...should only ask whether the guy has all his teeth intact or not.

But anyway, now that we are here...

Let me know if you have any demand as well.

Look, first of all the girls are not a burden on us...

...that we will give them to anyone with all his teeth intact.

Nor are we from a lowly family.

In Delhi, there was always an elephant...

...tied outside the house of my ancestors.

Of course I have some demands.

First of all the boy should be a devout Muslim.

Secondly, he should be a Sayyed. But...

He should be a Sunni for sure.

What are you doing?

How do I look, sister?

Rascal. Scoundrel.

How many times have I told you?

How many times have I told you, Saifee?

You are a man. Behave like a man.

What happened, sister? - Look... Iook at him.

What is this, Saifee?

I felt like seeing how I look...

How do you look?

Saifee, do men do such a thing?

Are you a girl? - Yes, I am a girl.

If I am not a girl then why do I like brother Mustafa?

Why do I feel that I also should get married to him?

What nonsense are you saying?

Don't you have any shame?

I will go and inform father. - No. No.

He will skin you alive. - No. No.

Then you will understand. - No, sister. No.

Don't tell father, for God's sake.

I will never do this again. I promise.

Don't promise, take an oath. Take an oath.

I take an oath.

What will happen with him if he goes out?

And what will happen to him if he doesn't?

You are not thinking about that.

And your father?

He won't realise even if Saifee doesn't return home for a week.

And even if he finds out then let him.

At the moment it is more important...

...to save Saifee from ruination.

But dear, he is very innocent. What will he do?

I have thought about it.

I have a place in mind.

It is a little far away, but his drawing will help him there.

I will take him with me while going to college in the morning.

Move aside, uncle.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Doctor.

You have come after a long time, Doctor.

Sir, we didn't take out a procession...

...and we didn't have a need for banners.

I have come here for some other work today.

This boy is my cousin.

I want him to become your student.

He draws well. - Fine. Have a seat first.

Sit over here.

Sir. Excuse me sir, give my guests some place to sit.

Okay. - Basheer, three teas, please. Three.

So, what is your name, kid?

Sayed Saifullah Khan.

Mr. Khan, please draw the truck you see there...

...with the point of this on the ground.

Take this.

Here. Have tea. - Thank you.

The kid has cleared the test even before his drawing is over.

His style suggests that he is fine.

Three cups of tea for two people?

Thank you.

Sir, does he stay here?

Yes. This place stays cheerful because of him.

He is very nice at heart.

Sir, I didn't want to bring this child...

...because of the atmosphere of this place.

But he doesn't know anything other than drawing.

I had to helplessly bring him here.

Please take care of him,

He is a very innocent kid.

Look, he has drawn it.

Go, kid. Sit over there.

Very good.

If he hasn't learnt it from anyone then it is a big thing.

Not even my students are so good.

I will give him Rs.100 a day.

Thank you very much.

He is now your responsibility.

Sir, don't worry and go.

Send him over there to me.

I will send him right away. - Saifee.

Work hard.

I will come in the evening to pick you up.

So you are ready to go out and corrupt the people?

Another member of your family is here.

Take him along.

Hey, beware if anyone troubles him.

Bye.

Forgive me. It happened by mistake.

Let me wipe it off for you.

At least learn how to catch a brush properly.

Okay. I will teach you. Come.

This is how you hold a brush.

And this is how you use the brush.

My hands... - Baale.

Give me the yellow colour. - Okay, sir.

"The sticks..." Sir.

You rascals. You will never change.

Get lost.

Get lost from here.

Son, pull up your pants. Come on.

Pull it up.

Rascals. Shameless.

I told you. - Yes, you did. And you were right.

But... but our Saifee won't give up so easily.

This was his first day.

Hence it was more difficult.

He will face less tomorrow.

And even more less the day after that.

And then he will get used to it.

Am I right, Saifu?

Here is today's earning.

Saifee, you just wait and watch.

Father will be very happy when we will place your full salary...

...on his hands at the end of the month.

He will love you the most.

Here, mother. Feed him milk.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Come, sit. We were just talking about you.

You want tea?

I just had it.

Drink it. Our truck is ready. We will leave tonight.

God willing we will return after a month.

Where is sir?

He is changing his clothes.

I... I, too, will go and change my clothes.

He is very tight.

Can I come in, sir?

Hello.

Come. Have a seat.

How's your wife feeling now?

Don't ask about her health, sir.

It is great. My wife has become your fan.

She has sent these sweets.

Give another week's medicine for her. - Okay.

I think your helper didn't come today.

He has been dismissed.

It was difficult to pay his salary.

Hence I dismissed him.

Hakim, you are no doubt very capable.

Then why isn't your practice running?

This is the time of the ignorant.

Everyone is running after ignorant doctors.

And the patrimonial hakims are hand to mouth.

This is unjust. It's unfair.

If you don't mind I have a suggestion for you.

Go ahead.

The teacher of Quran who used to teach our kids...

...has gone to Saudi Arabia.

You can teach Quran to my children.

I will gather some more children from the neighbourhood.

I used to pay Rs.500 a child.

It will be a good sum for you.

Yes, I can surely teach them.

But don't you have a Maulana in your area?

We do, but...

...most of the Maulanas don't agree to come to our houses.

Why? - Actually...

We are into song and dance business.

In the red light area.

Hakim, along with teaching Quran...

...you can also teach Urdu to the kids.

Here the medicine for a week.

I hope you won't need any more of it.

Hakim, my name is Chaudhary Isaac.

But if anyone wants to enquire then...

...there people know me as the Isaac the pimp.

Don't leave before an hour.

Saifullah, see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Heard that? Don't leave before an hour.

Let's go.

That's enough. It's big.

Saifu, my love, you, too, should leave now.

Listen, come here.

Come inside.

Pick this up as well.

Brother Rashid, it's locked. My clothes are inside.

Your clothes are hanging in that truck. In 3389.

Go and change in it.

There are animals in it, but they won't harm you.

You don't need to be scared, Saifu.

He is very tight.

Boss, can I go first?

There will be no nonsense.

You always make fuss on taking turns. It is your habit.

Hold this.

"You are great..."

"You are wearing a black top. Listen up, girl."

How did he come so early?

Hello. - Hello.

Is Saifee free to go?

What do you mean? You didn't take him with you?

We thought you did.

He is not here since the last half an hour.

I think he must have taken the bus.

No, how can he go in a bus?

You are sure he isn't here?

Sir, we didn't move from here.

Okay.

And the eunuchs who are always here?

They didn't return from their work.

Their place is locked.

Okay.

All the trouble this family is facing is because of you.

I wish you husband would have killed you.

Where not did I look for him.

I pray...

...he is already dead.

I will get your dinner.

Oh, my God.

Mother. Mother, Saifee is back.

My dear. Chanda, come early tomorrow.

I will get worried if you don't.

Okay? Goodbye.

There must have been other people around as well.

Why didn't you scream, my child?

They had stuffed cloth in my mouth.

My child. My son. My child.

Tara was saying...

That I can never be a man. - No. No. No.

No matter how much I try to work...

...in the end I will have to dance like them.

No, Saifee. No. I made a mistake.

I will never send you there again.

I give up. I give up.

No.

No. No.

Saifee.

Father, what are you doing? Let go of him.

Father, let go of him.

Saifee.

Zainab, what happened?

Zainab, what happened?

Zainab?

Stop your drama. Keep your voice down.

Saifee. Saifee, my child.

You killed him, my child.

You killed him. My child.

What happened, sister?

Saifee.

Saifee.

Saifee.

Saifee.

Saifee.

Saifee!

Saifee!

Brother Saifee. - It was necessary to do this.

Had he lived, I would have died everyday.

Saifee. - Father, I don't understand.

You believe in God and yet you hate his creation.

A swine is also a creation of God.

Now say...

...that I should love a swine as well.

He was worse than a swine.

A swine has one plus point that...

...he is born in his own clan.

So his family doesn't die of shame.

So father, it was his fault that his family weren't swine like him?

What if the same swine was born a generation earlier?

You wretched woman.

Enough, father. - Saifu.

Please go away from here before I forget my limits.

Saifu.

Saifu, my brother.

I will go and make a phone call, okay?

Please give me my phone back.

Thank you.

I feel like going to the police station...

...but I have stopped myself because of his daughters.

You are doing the right thing.

I don't know, mother.

I feel we will do them a great favour...

...if we get uncle Hakim arrested.

What are you saying, son?

He is their father.

Father.

Hakim, I am sorry to have heard about your son.

Though I am a very busy man...

...but since you live in my area I thought I must visit you.

Thank you very much for the trouble you took.

And I wanted to make a request to you.

...once you have attend all the people.

Please come to the police station for five minutes...

I want to discuss something very important with you.

There is nothing to worry about. Stay cool.

It's a question of someone's life, Mr. Sherazi.

I am sure this girl is innocent.

You please wake up the president and stop this execution.

What are you saying, ma'am?

He is the president of this country.

How can I wake him up at this hour?

Please, try to understand my position.

Sir, I know you are a nice man.

I am sure you will find a way.

Okay, I will call you back.

Sit down. Sit down.

Mr. Hakim, you are a very decent and respectful man.

I don't want to use the normal police tactics on you.

I am sure that you won't lie in front of God.

How did your son die?

Please move this sacred book away from me.

Your suspicion is indeed...

...correct.

Why did a decent man like you have to do something like this?

Killing in the name of honor must not be something new for you.

Great.

Daughters are killed in the name of honor.

I wish he was a daughter.

Now the issue is that despite your confession...

...we will have to get the postmortem done.

What do you say about this?

Help me.

I have a lot of daughters.

What will happen to them?

You should have thought about this earlier.

Don't you know how the world works?

I implore you in the name of God...

...let this matter die down here.

If it was all in my hands then I swear I would have done so.

But the entire police station knows about it.

And that eunuch who reported this incident...

...is sitting outside.

How can I stop so many people from talking?

Who will dare to speak in front of you?

No, sir.

They will have to be silenced with money.

I know this is bribery.

But God knows that I won't take a single penny from it.

Now it is for you to decide.

God knows that I have managed the funeral by taking a loan.

Great.

How sad that...

...I am putting my job at stake to save you and you are...

Deen Mohammad.

For God's sake...

For God's sake, don't get angry.

Listen to me.

Wait a moment.

Use your brains, Hakim.

You can earn the money again...

...but you will never get your life back.

Request your relatives.

Take advance from your patients...

...and try to save your life.

How much will I have to arrange for?

If it would have been a rich man...

...it wouldn't have settled for less than 15 to 20 Lakhs.

But you are poor. You arrange 3 Lakhs.

But today itself.

I cannot hold the report registration till morning.

But 3 lakhs is...

Oh no. Last time. 2 lakhs. Final. That's it.

And consider yourself under arrest.

My men will be with you.

Now hurry and arrange the money fast.

Go get water.

Did anything work out?

Whoever I ask tells me his problems.

I wish...

...I had killed her instead of him.

Mother, tell father to pay it from the donation to the mosque.

Anyway, according to him by killing Saifee...

...he has rectified God's mistake.

God must be very happy with him.

He should take advantage of the situation.

This girl will make me go to hell.

Sister is right, father.

Return the money back as soon as you can arrange for it.

No one will come to know about it.

It belongs to Him.

Can anything stay hidden from him?

He knows about your helplessness as well.

Think of how I will handle so many of them alone.

How will I...

...arrange for it later as well?

If we won't be able to arrange for it...

...then we will sell this house.

Why didn't you think about this?

Now... now don't say a word.

Please go ahead with it.

For the sake of the prophet.

It is 2 lakhs?

You know I won't take a single penny out of this.

With your permission

I will keep the sacred cloth with me as something auspicious.

You can leave now. Go and sleep peacefully.

The first night of your new life.

'The burden of taking the donation money... '

'... made father forget all his principles and standards.'

'He started wandering in search of work.'

'To take up any job you need a special skill... '

'... which father no longer possessed.'

'AII the doors closed.'

'And everyone in our house was sad.'

'One day he all of a sudden remembered something.'

'He stopped eating and stood up.'

Hello.

I want to go to Chaudhary Isaac's house.

Hey Sheedaan, where is my top?

Excuse me, is Chaudhary Isaac at home?

Tell him a gentleman is here from Lucknow.

Are you blind?

Can't you see such a big corpse lying there?

Mr. Chaudhary?

Mr. Chaudhary?

Mr. Chaudhary, wake up and look, Indian currency is here.

Pheekey, is everything alright?

Mr. Chaudhary, look over there.

Mr. Hakim, you? Welcome. Welcome.

Come... come.

Have a seat.

Pheekey, tell Kala to send two glasses of buttermilk.

Okay.

Don't take the trouble.

Mr. Hakim, you will have trouble drinking it.

Not everyone can digest Kala's buttermilk.

Now tell me why have you blessed me with your presence?

You had mentioned about teaching Quran to your children.

Yes.

I did.

But later I came to know that you are not from our sect.

So I was relieved that you...

You want me to teach Quran.

And I wonder how...

But Quran is the same for Shias and Sunnis.

Yes. You are right.

But still, you might end up saying something...

...which is not from our faith.

I am in need.

I promise I will keep control over my tongue.

I swear upon the Great Ali.

Great. Great.

Ali solves all problems.

Look, how your problem and my trouble got resolved.

Here, let's have it.

Consider yourjob done.

What time will be fine with you?

Sometime after noon and before sunset.

Why not in the mornings?

You are so naive.

We are up all night and go to sleep in the morning.

We wake up at about 4:00pm.

You came over at 5:00pm and teach till 7:00pm.

Ok. The time of your choice is fine... but

if I could get the fees in advance...

Today, I couldn't go to the bank otherwise...

...I would have got the bigger notes...

They are just as I collected last night.

Here, it's 2000 for four kids.

One thousand.

Two thousand.

Such dirty money will come in house now?

He has promised to provide.

He didn't say how, when and where.

It is possible this is how it was meant to be.

I think all the troubles have zeroed in on us.

God gives trouble to His people according to their courage.

It is a testing time.

We will come over it.

There are two more kids.

Have milk and begin.

This place is very different from the rest of your house.

It looks very pristine.

This is my Meena's room.

She is also quite pristine.

She is my granddaughter.

Give it up for Pulse?

And now future doctors...

The moment you have all been waiting for.

With the new addition of Aisha Khan.

Put your hands together for Taboo.

"You are always with me."

"Be with me always."

"There is no one so beautiful."

"The one whose all the traits are liked by me."

"No. There is no one, but you."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Say it."

"Say it today."

"Say it."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Say it."

"Say it."

"Please say it."

"You are always with me."

"Be with me always."

"Listen to what I am saying."

"Everything that is in my heart for you."

"Is this love or just an infatuation."

"Know my heart."

"Say it."

"Say it today."

"Say it."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Forget the fading colors of deserted lanes."

"Change your dull life, my love."

"Say it."

"Say it today."

"Say it today."

"Say it."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Say it."

"Say it today."

"Say it today."

"Say it."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Accept it from your heart."

"Say it."

"Say it."

"Say it."

What took you so long?

What can I do, sister? It started late.

We have been waiting since so long.

Hurry up.

Sister...

Thank you.

We all follow the same Prophet.

This Shiah Sunni talk is all incidental.

Put an end to it.

I want you to marry your daughter to his son...

...and become friends forever.

Look brother Zaffar, I honour your feelings.

But I will kill my daughter before such a thing happens.

Even God is showing you a sign to go ahead with this alliance.

Look, it is such a nice coincidence...

...that his son's name is Mustafa (Prophet)...

...and your daughter's name is Aisha. (Prophet's wife)

All praise be to Allah...

What a great omen.

Three more daughters of mine have names of prophet's wives.

Should I give all of them to his Mustafa?

Listen, you heartless Hakim.

Your Aisha likes my Mustafa.

Don't break their hearts because of your enmity with me.

I take back all my demands.

Just find a decent boy who will agree...

...for a simple wedding at a mosque.

I cannot offer dowry for my daughter but...

...my daughter is very beautiful.

Now my only condition is...

...that this should happen as soon as possible.

This shouldn't take months or weeks.

It should be done in a few days.

Will you compromise on age?

As long as he is younger than me.

What are you saying?

She is a human being.

Not some trash that you will throw in the lane...

...and anyone can take it away.

Look at her age.

You are making such an unsuitable match.

It is not as unsuitable as what she desires.

Before she also takes a wrong step like her sister Saliha...

...we should get her married off.

But you... - Enough. There is no point arguing.

The wedding will take place on Friday.

He fathered you.

He has a right to make decisions.

He has fathered children, mother.

Not medicines, which he can give to anyone.

And place them wherever he wants.

I won't get married, sister.

Gentlemen, the mosque committee members are requested...

...to stay back for a meeting after the prayers.

We had put a lot of decisions on hold while waiting for Mr. Sheikh.

The biggest problem is of Mr. Hakim.

He has told the committee a number of times...

...that he no longer wishes to be the treasurer.

Sir, Mr. Sheikh has agreed to take on this responsibility.

Hence tomorrow, after the prayers...

...in our second meeting, Mr. Hakim...

...will get all the accounts and submit it to the committee.

This committee is very grateful to Mr. Hakim.

Now the second issue is of construction.

I tried asking wherever possible last time itself.

I am still falling short of 1 lakh 75 thousand.

What should I do?

Why don't you apologize to the mosque committee...

...and tell them the truth?

Tell them that we will give it in a few days.

Kill me instead of giving me such a bad advice.

My father's 32 years...

...and 40 years of mine...

Have gone into earning respect in this neighbourhood.

You want me to let all these years of hard work go waste?

Rather than getting angry think about what I am saying.

Why don't you ask the people where you go to teach?

Why will they give me such a big amount?

Yes, they might if I give this girl to them in exchange.

They won't give a penny for me.

If you offer the young ones then perhaps...

Wretched woman!

For God's sake. This is not the time to get angry.

I am not asking you to beg for it.

People like them have a lot of money.

They can buy our house immediately.

If they can't buy it then let them mortgage it.

Mr. Hakim, you at this hour?

Allah, rid my child of all her problems.

Hello, sister Suraiya. - Hello.

Zainab has told us.

Can't think of what to do.

I wonder why this man is so hardhearted.

I have an idea to resolve this problem.

But I am scared...

...that you might or might not accept it when I tell you.

Tell me, brother.

Mr. Hakim...

Enjoy the breakfast.

I will arrange for the money.

You will. - Yes, of course.

But only on the condition that whatever you told me is true.

Why would I lie to you?

The donation money for the mosque...

I am not talking about that.

Seven daughters.

Not a single son.

If you had been one of us then you would have been a millionaire.

I am so unfortunate.

After one daughter Allah gave me only sons.

I had to put a stop at it after the fifth son.

Mr. Hakim, 1 lakh 75 thousand is a big amount.

But my house's value is much more than that.

Look, Mr. Hakim, I have no interest in your house.

I am very straightforward person.

You will have to give me one daughter.

You...

Mr. Hakim, please sit down.

I am not talking about what you think I am.

May Allah always keep your daughters safe and sound.

I am not talking about them. Have a seat.

Then?

Allah has blessed you with such a talent...

...that if this news spreads in around...

...the women of this area will tear me down to get to you.

I didn't get you.

What talent?

You can produce girls.

Such a man is a real gem among us.

A gem.

A walking bank account.

I am not getting you.

Come straight to the point.

You will have to produce a girl child.

Especially for me.

You will be the father and my Meena...

...will be the mother.

I am giving you the money for the girl child in advance.

This is such a nonsensical thing.

Who told you that it is up on a man to produce a girl child?

Well, our business runs on daughters.

Who will know this if not us?

Hakims and priests initially falsify scientific things.

It is a proven fact that the gender...

...of the child depends on the man.

And the woman plays no role in it.

This is nonsense.

You can go and confirm it with a doctor.

Assume that I agree with you...

...then tell me what if it is a boy?

Then you can take him with you.

You will get a support for your old age.

This is my decency.

Otherwise I could have also said that...

...you would have to pay the money back if it is a boy.

I didn't say it.

It is a gamble.

Looking at your record I feel like taking the gamble.

Such a huge amount for a girl child?

A girl child?

A good looking girl child makes...

...life easier for 2-3 generations of ours, sir.

The amount you are asking for...

...is worth only a single dance performance.

The decision is yours to make.

How far is the mosque from this place?

Far?

The mosque is just two steps away from here.

I agree.

But I have a condition.

I don't know whether or not it is a tradition in your place...

...but I will marry her... properly. - Done.

Should I arrange the money? - Yes.

Just a minute.

You will have to place your hand on Quran and promise...

...that no one will ever know about me.

Here...

...neither does anyone ask for a father's name...

...nor does anyone know it.

I swear on God... I, too, don't know.

Thanks to the one who got me through this test.

Welcome. Welcome.

Hello.

I... was waiting for you.

Though our woman don't bother about...

...the age and the face of their clients...

...but Meena is a different kind of girl.

I fear she might hide on seeing you like this.

If you are the groom then you should look like one as well.

With the settlement amount of Rs.50,000...

...do you accept it? - I do.

Congratulations, sir. - Wish you the same.

Congratulations, sister-in-law. - Congratulations.

Congratulations to you too. - Wish you the same.

Congratulations to you as well, sister-in-law.

Wish you the same, brother.

Your marriage with Safina has been fixed...

...with a settlement amount of Rs.5 lakhs.

Do you accept it?

Do you accept it?

I do.

Why are you so surprised?

Meena is a very tasteful girl.

I had kept her free of appointments today.

But a very generous patron Mr. Mallik had an advance booking.

She is with him.

But she will have her meals with you.

Why don't you rest till the while?

Goodbye.

Hello.

I saw your feet. They are very pretty.

Don't place them on the floor. They will get dirty.

You are? - Meena.

Why did you get up?

Keep lying down, sir.

Look, I am helpless but that doesn't mean...

...that I should be made fun of.

What made you feel that I am making fun of you?

God forbid.

I am certain that it is so.

Otherwise, the manner in which you are talking...

...is not the practice over here.

And what you just said about my feet...

I think you haven't seen 'Pakeezah'.

Otherwise, instead of getting angry...

...you would have been praising me.

Who is Pakeezah?

I am not talking about a girl. It is a movie.

You haven't watched it?

I don't want movies. - Really?

I thought you, too, watch a lot of them.

That is why you address yourself so royally.

This is how we speak in our place.

It was considered bad to talk informally.

Well, your speech as well as the vocabulary is confusing me.

You are getting confused for no reason.

I have seen movies like 'Umrao Jaan'...

...and 'Pakeezah' hundreds of times.

Only then was I able to catch up this language and style.

I feel that a courtesan should be of Lucknow...

...otherwise it is better to be born in a decent household.

She is Ms. Meena. The heroine of 'Pakeezah'.

Imitating her I changed my name from Safina to Meena.

Now let go of your anger.

And introduce yourself to me as well.

My name is Shafathullah Khan.

Excuse me, Ms. Meena.

Mallik's driver is troubling us as if he is dying.

He keeps asking whether he should leave.

Let him die. Ask him which mother of his is he so eager to go to.

And you too should control yourself.

You keep interrupting me.

Get lost.

I will ask them to send dinner.

Do you also sleep in this dress?

Morning. Good morning.

Come. Don't be scared.

He, too, is a member of our family.

Like you are, now.

Ever since I grew up...

...this is the first time I missed my morning prayer.

Meena will sleep till afternoon.

You can say your prayers.

Let's go. Come on.

We should note down this date.

That on this day so much sweets came at home...

...but Hifza didn't even touch it.

I can't eat it out of fear.

Instead of getting scared think that...

...there will be at least one of us who will live happily as she wills.

And the hell that will break lose here...

Nothing is going to happen.

What is the most that can happen?

Hell is on its way.

Everyone in this house has forgotten how to greet someone.

Hello, father.

Father, tell me whether I should get you a stick or...

...kerosene and a matchbox because...

...I have committed a very big mistake.

But I gave it a thought before doing it.

And I am ready for any punishment you give me for it.

What have you done now?

I didn't want you to do with Aisha...

...what had happened with me.

Hence I...

...forced mother and...

...got Aisha married to Mustafa.

You wretched woman!

Disloyal woman!

Sister.

What are you doing? Let go of her. - You are shameless.

What have you done? - Let go of her. Let go of her.

You have ruined your family.

Will you listen to me once she is dead?

What kind of a man are you?

Ma'am, you are putting undue pressure on me.

The president doesn't pardon a death sentence if I tell him to.

Who is asking you to pardon it?

I am just asking you to stop it.

I mean once the case reopens I am sure she will get pardoned.

I know that this girl is innocent.

Hello. Hello.

'Wadhuha'. Not 'Wazzuha'.

Sir, you have been summoned.

Come on, go.

But this shouldn't happen tomorrow.

You are less of a Nawab and more of a priest.

And a very miser priest.

That day I said such beautiful things about your feet.

But you don't bother to praise me a bit.

Aren't my feet pretty?

Your feet are so pretty that when you walk...

...slaves should line up to keep their hands beneath them.

Great.

You said something better than the Nawab in 'Pakeezah'.

However... you didn't say it from your heart.

Why are you saying that?

Look, my feet are right next to you...

...but your hands seem to be elsewhere.

If these hands are always present...

...will your feet follow me wherever I take you?

You are planning to take me along...

...so that you don't have to leave your unborn daughter here.

But I am saying all this for you.

I got married to you.

You are my honour.

Marriage was only your requirement, sir.

There is no such tradition here.

Tell me, will it be possible for you...

...to leave your wife and daughters...

...and go somewhere forever.

They don't have any other male member other than me...

...to earn for them.

And here?

And here, there is no other woman here...

...to earn for them.

You... don't answer.

Tell that slut who started it all to leave the room.

Beware if anyone talks about stepping outside the house.

These girls will work? What will they do?

They will work as an officer in an office?

Will they open a clinic of their own?

Or will they become Ministers in cabinet?

Tell me. Tell me.

Or ask that slut what she wants them to do.

What will uneducated girls do when they go out?

Do you have any sense?

I have started going to the red light area.

But I am not a pimp to make girls work.

Did you hear me?

Father, I was just trying to support you.

I am feeling sorry for you...

...as you have become so Ionely.

Father,

how will our financial condition improve under such circumstances?

I needed a son to do just that.

But instead you witches came into this world.

One followed by another.

And who was the one who fathered them?

We didn't force you to give birth to us.

You should have stopped after two or three.

You are the one responsible for this.

And you are blaming Allah for it.

A daughter of mine is troubling me.

She has started thinking very liberally.

She's started questioning the religion...

Even the sayings of the prophet.

God Almighty.

What are you saying, Mr. Hakim?

I am telling the truth.

I can see revolt in her eyes.

And venom in her tongue.

I fear that either I will kill her...

...or I will be killed...

...by her

Yes. I am sure you are making excuses.

Actually, you are scared to wake him up at this hour.

But, Mr. Sherazi, let me tell you...

...that if you don't wake him up...

...then I will create such a flutter on my channel that...

Are you threatening me?

Yes, I am.

A person will lose her life and you are concerned...

...about the president of Pakistani's sleep?

Who is he, after all? God Almighty?

Okay. Okay. Please.

Don't get so emotional. I will do something.

Don't get so emotional.

'When Mustafa became a doctor... '

'... he and Aisha got a lot of sweets and gifts for us.'

'Everyone in the house felt as if our live has started now.'

'I often used to wonder... '

'... that father's strictness made us go bad... '

'... instead of making a better human out of us.'

'We had to hide even small legitimate desires.'

'And we had to lie to hide them.'

To hell with the media.

Now will the journalists decide who is guilty and who is not?

After all he is the president of the country.

You shouldn't have even bothered to wake me up...

...for such a nonsensical thing. Go back to sleep.

Look ma'am, I spoke to the MS of the president as well.

This girl didn't say a word to defend herself...

...in the session court, high court and supreme court.

All the testimonies were against her.

It is obvious that she got the death penalty.

Mr. Shirazi, I don't know why she did that.

But my heart says that she is innocent.

Ma'am, I wonder what else your heart says and does...

But the government cannot follow your heart.

I am sorry.

Mr. Sherazi, you don't know what is going to happen to you.

When this recording will be played on the television...

...the entire world will cry for this girl...

...I will shout and tell everyone that...

...I tried to save her till the last moment...

...but the sleep of president of Pakistan...

...was more important than this helpless girl's life.

This girl won't survive...

...but you won't be spared either.

'Winter changed to summer praying and worshiping.'

'And finally... '

'... that day came which gave father sleepless nights.'

Mr. Hakim, you are also thinking...

...about what's happening up there.

Let them leave.

And come here.

Come on, leave.

Come on.

Come here. Come here.

Congratulations. You have paid your debt.

It's a girl.

It's a girl.

Mr. Hakim, you have profited.

You make a deal with me.

I paid you 1 lakh 75 thousand for this girl.

I will pay you 2 lakh 75 thousand for the next one.

And 3 lakh 75 thousand for the one after her.

You keep producing girls and I will keep increasing the sum by 1 lakh.

Park a Mercedes outside your house instead of an elephant.

I will ask them to cover up and then call you.

"Be there. Be there. Be there."

"Be there, my beloved. Be there."

All of you go outside. Come on.

Welcome. Welcome.

Here, welcome her. Whisper the prayer in her eyes.

Bille, do everything else later.

First go and pay homage to Datasahib's shrine.

Go, my son. Hurry up.

For God's sake...

...spare me from this big test.

She is my child.

For your dead mother's sake...

...give her to me.

I will go away.

I will take her and go away.

I will leave this city before they find out.

You...

Let me take care of a liar like you.

We procurers are better than you.

We at least stick to our word.

Why didn't you think about your honour...

...while taking the money?

You can take my house instead of money.

Great.

Who will pay for the pain she faced for nine months...

...while keeping the child in her womb?

Get lost. Get lost.

I won't even listen to a liar like you.

Listen...

If I ever see you here again...

...I will bring all your seven daughters here...

...and put them to it on ten rupees. Got it?

It had been three days since father had eaten anything...

...or spoken to any one of us.

'The worst part was that he had stopped praying as well.'

'Finally, the secret got out.'

Mother, a 'Burka' clad woman has come outside.

Is Mr. Hakim at home? - Yes. He is upstairs.

Who are you? - My name is Meena.

Take this girl to Mr. Hakim. - But...

Listen...

Where are you going?

Father, please come outside.

What is happening?

Who is she? - I don't know, mother.

That woman gave her to me and left.

I asked her to stop but she didn't listen to me.

What is it?

What's happening?

Father, a woman had come here.

She said her name is Meena. She gave this girl.

All of you go there. Suraiya, you come inside.

Who can she be, sister?

I don't know. I am wondering the same.

The girls will hear us.

I will tell the whole world.

This is how you are paying me back?

Such a big deceit?

You kept us as prisoners in the house...

...and had fun in the name of preaching.

Stop this nonsense.

I will break yourjaw.

Think about yourself.

How will you face God?

How will you face God?

He will throw your prayers on your face.

Get up.

Get lost.

Oh, God.

I am dead.

Beware if you tell the girls.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Mother. What happened, mother?

Mother.

What happened?

Have a seat. - Mother. Mother.

What happened, mother? What happened?

Tell me. - Mother. - Who was she?

She was your father's second wife.

A courtesan.

She had come to leave your eighth sister.

That woman didn't stay here because of us, right?

You go and get her here right away.

Because all of us are leaving this house in the morning.

I will kill all of you if anyone steps out of the house.

We will step out, father.

And stop threatening to kill us.

Otherwise, there is possibility...

...that one of us might do what you couldn't do.

I don't know about others but I swear on God...

...father, I thought about this a thousand times.

That I should either, gather all my sisters in a room...

...and set ourselves on fire. Or kill you.

Really?

Raise your hand on me.

Kill me.

I am telling the truth, father.

Now if you try to keep us captured in this house...

...then I will surely kill you.

Instead of this girl I will leave you at that place.

Father struck at sister.

It's okay.

This is our last night in this hell.

We will all leave this place tomorrow morning.

Shafathullah! Shafathullah!

Open the door!

You liar! Open the door!

Open the door.

They have come for the girl.

Bille, get the wrench.

No! Don't! - Don't!

Father.

Move aside. - Father, leave her alone.

I said, move. - What are you doing? Leave her alone.

Move.

Father.

Father. - Father, leave her alone. Father.

Father. - Father, leave her alone.

Father, I couldn't save Saifee. But... - No. No.

Father!

Salma, take the girl away. Take her away.

Hurry up.

Give her to me.

You check there. Shannu, you go there.

Hurry up.

Both of you come with me.

What happened to him?

I killed him.

Where is my child?

Where is she?

Father killed and threw her somewhere.

Did you miss out any place?

There are only two rooms.

That's it. That's it.

Time is up.

Pack up. Pack up, please.

I cannot delay it any further.

If it dawns we will have to postpone it until tomorrow.

Stop your cameras. Pick up your mikes from here.

Come on.

Come on. Pick up your mikes. Come on.

Hey. Hey. Hey. - Wait.

Aftab, take care of her.

I still have a lot to say. - Go down.

Let me speak. - Come on. Come on. Come on.

Everything I said will go waste.

For God's sake, wait.

I sought revenge from my father for giving birth to me.

My father didn't produce eight children.

He killed eight children.

I want to leave a question behind me.

And I want all of you to ask this question to this society.

The question is why is it only a crime to kill and not to give birth?

Think about it.

Why isn't it a crime to give birth?

Ask, why it is only a crime to give birth to an illegitimate child?

Why isn't it a crime...

...to produce legitimate children and ruin their lives?

Make people understand...

...they should not produce more beggars.

There are already a lot of crying faces and aging lives.

Why do you give birth to them when you can't feed them?

Zainab...

One second. Cut.

Okay.

Zainab has left us.

Who is the culprit?

The father who gave birth to Zainab...

...but took away her right to live?

Or the officers of bureaucracy who...

...couldn't gather courage to wake up the president?

Or is Mr. President responsible for it...

...as he has instructed his officers...

...that his sleep is more important than some Zainab's life?

All these questions are important.

But the most important question is the one...

...which Zainab has left for us.

Rashida Gilani, Central Jail, Lahore.

Sir.

Call for a meeting. Let's have the whole cabinet there.

Leaders of all religious sects and all important scholars must be there.

Right, sir.

Sir, what is the agenda?

It's a little long. Note it down.

Why is only taking life a crime, why not giving life as well?
