just one minute all right here hello? i'm meera here can i speak to shankar singh? it's mine amir? who's speaking?
it's okay, tell me okay amir has been arrestedon charges of murder he's been given the capital punishment i think we must consult akbar holy priest, show us a way out trust allah.you must visit a mosque... and make an offering are you amir khan's father?- yes
i'm natarajan, i come from theministry of external affairs, delhi even we have no clue all we know is that amir andhis roommate shankar had a brawl shankar fell from the balcony.perhaps amir pushed him they lived on the tenth floor.- amir had told me about shankar they got along very well.- correct their neighbours too confirm that.- then this is certainly an accident i too feel the same. i somehow managedto have a word with amir last week he too said the same.- we can have him released, can't we?
please tell the police,he is innocent... not that easy. there's no witness we just have amir's statement amir is a trucker, and...- his life is not worth a deal, right? ma'am, such news is normallygiven by the local police but, i have personally come here,on leave thank you forthe trouble you've taken can i talk to amir? we don't even knowwhere he is being held
the punishment will be carried outin two months in two months? look, i don't intendto enliven your hopes but perhaps, there is a way as per saudi law. if the widowforgives her husband's killer... if shankar's wife signsamir's mercy petition... amir can be saved thank god. we'll sendthese documents at once the problem is, we have no ideawhere she lives
shankar was from rajasthan, butthe address in his passport is fake this practice is quite common. we areinvestigating, but it'll take time our government is discussing itwith the saudi government will take time?i don't understand this you are well-versed with the law.is there really no way out? rajasthan is a huge state.our men are trying... there's no problem.- she has to be found somehow... we just need her signature where to?
to find that woman.- how? no idea. i know that she livesin rajasthan how will you go there? no idea you are so full of confidence... yet you know so little all i know is that he will help me my dear, all the time, we can't leaveevery thing to him that's why i'm going myself.- but where will you look for her?
i got a picture of amir with shankar rajasthan is a huge city will you go knocking doors? i can't sit twiddling my thumbs any other information about her? and i'm certainyou want to leave right now right i wonder what god was thinkingwhen he created you amir too used to say that

meaning? listen... groundnut is whatwe'll feed on from now on where is she? where? where to? you make me walk miles, you don'tfeed me food or water i feel like jumping offfrom where you are right now i'm tired i was right here
now what, chief? what does that mean?- we divide the territory amongst us what...? thousands of homes...?- so? we can't knock all doors.- i'm willing to knock... all the doors in rajasthan.thousands hardly matter we are not sure if they live here.they might've come here on a vacation we'll know only after inquiring.- good god! wait... this is idiotic this may be their house
we need help conman not about money he betrayed my trust but he gathered the courageto return yes they may be rajputs golden nose-ring,the colourful turban, chain around the neck,their dresses,
i told you. master-ji used to teachhistory of rajasthan. he's retired did anyone ask you? no i can't figure out more.they could be... master-ji... master-ji...- what? i was wonderingif they are agni clan...? no, no way they could be the agnis
fifty kilometres from here,across highway 11... there's a village called sarovar.go there, you might find something thank you. thank you so much thank you, master-ji stop take a pinch of the powder withmilk tonight. you'll be fine, trust me yes? does this house belongto shankar singh? my husband and shankar are friends
were come in good you came to meet us accidents often happen.but it hurts it must be devastating for all of youand shankar's wife is she here?- yes, meera must be working inside how does your husband know shankar? amir and shankar were roommatesin saudi roommates?
is he the one who...- yes. but it wasn't intended it was an accident how dare you come here? are you here to destroy our village?- no! i understand your pain.- get out of here i wish to talk to shankar's wife.- bitch watch your tongue! look, your anger is justified.but we can have a decent discussion i want to meet meera.- not possible
for god's sake, listen to my request.i want to talk to meera... not a word goes to meera what happened? say something.- there must be a way to meet her if i get to talk to her once,i'll tell you we will wait for here over hereand find out her schedules we? meaning?- you and i you and i so this is your relative's home.- that was a small lie.
in your company,even i'll learn to lie. you are not learninganything from me. no, that's not true. i have learnt how difficulta woman's life is from a man's. but meera's life is useless. it's good i was born a man. atleast you realisewhat a woman suffers. is this what you women suffer?- you haven't seen anything yet. if our wife dies, we marry again.
but if your husband dies,you wear colorless clothes... and spend your entire lifelike a prisoner. you work like servants,no song, no dance... and spend your entire life alone,with no contact with any man. even thinking about it scares me. now when you are seeing theworld from my viewpoint... tell me, what have you found out? she leaves the house once ina day, to go to the temple. help me. for god sake,you will have to help me!
sure, but who are you? i have come from very far. okay. come. sit. now tell me, why are you upset? i...- meera didi! you didn't go to school again?- who is she? go get water.- okay. where have you come from?
that is at a very high altitude,in the north, right? yes.- meera didi. water. take. go. if you want to talk inprivate, say so. okay, i'll leave. is your place beautiful?- yes, as much as yours. but different. the beauty here is unique.
dry, tough, and as cruelas the scorching sun. what have you lost here? my husband, amir...- he left you? yes.- and you think you'll find him here? if you help me. you don't take me to besomething else, do you? your husband had come here to work? then he must have come to work wherethey are putting up a new factory. a lot of laborers havecome from outside.
you want me to talk to chopraji? the one who isputting up the factory. how do you know he isstaying in our mansion? they were sayingso in the village. i did come to your house,but your family threw me out. so that was you whoeveryone was shouting at? i thought it was somebeggar woman of the village. i was begging only.- okay, i'll do something. but chopraji is not here,he will return in a few days.
i can wait for some days. i'd brought water.what do i do now? oh, i forgot!i'll just be back. ila, i was talking. i forgot.- you always do that. always? ofcourse not. khama gani... now you reply,gani khama. is even your husband lost?- ila! you can say that. then you also come to tiea ribbon on this tree.
he will return. there are many ways toplease the heart. i want to give you amir's photowill you come here tomorrow? without doubt. i get only oneopportunity to leave jail. bye. let's go... you talk too much. you should have told her the truth.- you are talking of truth? why do you always taunt me? it's the first timei've lost courage in life.
what if she had refused? what is your intention? i don't know. let's see what happens. i'll make friends with her,win her confidence. maybe then i'll tell her.- so my role is over. you will go out everyday,do your work. i'll wait for you at home. great! the riveris flowing reverse.
this is absolute injustice. a woman is deeplyconnected to that word. why don't you women joinhands and teach men a lesson? maybe, one day. do give me a warning.remember, i'm with you. i'll remember that. how are you?- i'm fine. i'll be back soon. salaam aleikum.- salaam...
in reply say,waleikum asalaam. you go to school?- yes. which class?- fifth. get up. take. he is amir. what is it?- even i want to hear. maybe i learn something. if you so wish to learn,go regularly to school. okay, sit and gossip.
is she your sister?- no, shanker found her somewhere. found her?- in the well. she's a girl. maybe that's why she was thrown. girls are not valued here. they are more trouble than gain. a man who works for ushas adopted her. but if it wasn't for shanker...- you miss him a lot? so much that my heart aches. even i miss amir a lot.
our memories are not alike. you still havehope of meeting amir. i should not have said that.sorrow cannot be measured. don't mind my words.- you really are good, meera. she is not good. it is somany days since i ate sweets. earlier, we used to eat so many.now she says we don't have money. even i love sweets.come, i'll treat you today. let's go!- no, we cannot go. why?- i'm not permitted.
whose permission do youneed to take to eat sweets? actually... l... sometimes, the biggest guardto stop us is our own fear. you cannot do everythingthat your heart wants. why not? because living foryourself is selfish. and to suppressyour desires is a sin. listen to your heart.tune yourself to it... then the joy of lifebecomes different.
if faced with a hurdle,close your eyes and jump. a jump of honesty. what if you don't reach across? if you are honest,why won't you? see how simple it is? come. jump of honesty. "in the scorching sun,a soft wind blew" "i got the support of a friend,my life poised again"
"atleast try,the chains will melt away" "my tresses flew on the forehead" "a desire hasawakened in the desert" "a lamp has lit in a storm today" "this is perhaps friendship,or the effect of integrity" "what do we know whatthe future holds for us" what is the matter?- today is shanker's birthday. then why are you sad? i was dancing in the street.
it is not even two months.wonder what is wrong with me. nothing is wrong with you. look at me. what have youdone that was wrong? i was dancing.- so what is wrong in that? i cannot forget him.- who says you are forgetting him? just because you feel a littlehappy it doesn't mean that. widows mourn, they don't dance. bear your sorrow theway your heart tells you... not the way others tell you.
what society is this thatdoesn't let a woman forget her pain? instead of healing herwounds with love... it keeps remindingher what she has suffered. her clothes, her style of living,her friends, everything is changed... so that she is alwaysreminded of her sorrow. and men? the moment we turn,they marry again. it is very easy for you to say that. don't connect theword 'easy' with me. i have not gotanything easily in life.
i have learnt to snatchmy right from the world. look, even i'm a woman like you. the only difference is that i havelearnt to take my own decisions. whether right or wrong, good orbad, the decision is mine... not anybody else's. because this life is mine. and i have the courage to livemy life... and live the consequenceof my decisions. now enough of this nonsense.let's celebrate shanker's birthday.
we'll do what he likes. don't sulk. i'm your friend, i canfight with you, and even appease you. let's go.- where? you will tell me that. come. now we will go there.- where? come!- aren't you getting late? don't live your lifefearing others. learn to accept your decisions. listen!
take us for a ride.- that will be rs.20. are you mad? rs.10? are you new? stupid!everyone will fool you. don't take a penny lessthan rs.50. you are my first client. if you sayso, i'll take you for rs.50. sit. i'll get some grams, wait here. how did you come here?- i'm a secretive guy. why have you come?- i got tired waiting at home.
when will you tell her? soon. if you don't tell her now,i'll leave. good bye. okay, i'll stay if you wish. but not too long. you changed your garb,but can you ride a camel? get up... get up... listen! get up. they want a ride.
they are good people. they wantto leave. think of my prestige too. they are paying rs.50. will the camel not get up? he's a thoughtful camel. he'sin a dilemma. just two minutes... they have to leave. enough now! get up! how obedient. i'm enjoying so much afterso many days, thanks to you. shanker loved to sit near the riverand watch the setting sun.
when the sun set, and themoon rose, he would say... 'meera, one day, you and me willgo on the moon riding a camel" 'where there willbe just you and me' 'and there will be so muchlove as much as there is sand here' 'where you won'thave to wear this veil' and he would always say,if women have to wear a veil... even men shouldcarry a similar burden. shall i say something?- what? when there is talkof carrying a burden...
have you ever worn a turban? shall i say something?you are a very bad actor. you will put impostors to shame. i recognised youthe moment i saw you. stop.- why? what happened? make the camel sit.- how? pull the rope and say 'r... rr' sit down, camel. sit... sit... he sat down!
where are you going? why should i turn away?even i can dance! it was fun, wasn't it?- yes. but we are very late,will there be a problem? i'll say i was listening to hymns.the act begins now. what woman dances with her friendswhen her husband's life is at stake? one who knows what she wants,and she can do anything to get it. it is not so simple anymore.i really like her. hiding the fact from hermakes me feel guilty.
i feel like i'm cheating a friend. you? sorry i'm disturbing youat such a late hour. it's okay. come inside. it's okay.i have a small favor to ask. my friend is lookingfor her husband. he may be working in your factory. can you find out? sure, i'll make inquiries.
thank you. where had you gone? don't worry, i'm a man,i can take care of myself. any reason for drinking?- to gather courage. i was to say something important. what? stop your nonsense! fool!let's have dinner. wait! this answerwas not in my book. no, you cannot say that. you cannot.
i can say whatever i wish.- yes, this is right. i want to say something more. i know you are married,you love your husband. i respect him. i don'twant anything from you. i just wanted to express my feelings. if i have learnt anythingfrom you... it is to express your feelings. thank you.- express your feelings. and those are, i love you.
thank you. shall we dine now? wait a minute. i want to say something important. i know zeenat that you... did i talk rubbish last night?- yes, but sweet rubbish. i'll have to go, zeenat.- i know. you told me last night.- but i don't know when i'll return. i know. what you did for me, icannot expect that much from any man. i saved the honor of my clan.
i feel bad leaving you,but... my dear impostor,i will miss you a lot. but i have to fightthis battle alone. call up amir's parents,and tell them i'm fine. this is their phone number.- i'll tell them. take care. it feels good coming here. theseold mansions have a unique charm. why are you rubbing saltin my wounds? you misunderstand.i was going to talk business. if i had anything else to give,i'd never give this mansion on rent.
you do have something you can give. look, i live here for months. and truly speaking,i feel lonely. and then, a man has his needs. the fact is, i want meera. she will live here, keep me happy. in exchange, i will repay the loanof rs.300000 on the mansion. and anyway, what does shemean to you anyway? she's just a slave.
only until i haveput up the factory. in a few months,you will get back both... the mansion and your daughter-in-law. meera is beautiful,and young too. the mansion is old and ugly. it needs renovation. everything has a price. i like people who strike a deal. shall we shake handson rs.500000?
get up, zeenat.- i knew you'd not leave me and go. there's a problem, zeenat.i spoke to amir's parents. they were looking foryou since many days. the day for amir'sexecution has been fixed. he will be executed in two days. there is some natraja whois waiting for you in jaipur. he says he will takethe letter of pardon himself. we will have to leave forjaipur tomorrow itself... with the pardon letter.
the one above.- salaam waleikum. salaam waleikum? say khama gani. what rubbishare they teaching you in school? not in school,zeenat didi taught me. who zeenat? the one who meets meera didiin the temple everyday you are late?- yes, i am late. meera, you'll have to help me.- you said that on the first day too. will you help me?- must you ask?
but first come,i want to give you something. shanker had given it to me.his first gift. i cannot wear it now, but iremove and look at it sometimes. i see some color. i want that when you meetamir, you two wear it. like me and shanker. it is a symbol of love. i cannot take it, it won't be right. why not? you won't understandwhat your friendship has given me.
you will leave,and we may never meet again. if you keep this, you will rememberyou have a friend in rajasthan... who didn't have the courage tochoose her life's path... but being with you,she got a glimpse of it. if you can,you also give me a memento. who knows... your husband diedat my husband's hands. i wanted to tell you since very long,my god knows; but i could not tell you why, zeenat?
when i first came to your house... your family spat in myface and threw me out. i was afraid evenyou will refuse to meet me. i never intended to cheat you. what do you want from me? these are papers for pardon.if you sign them... amir's life can be saved. you are aware ofeverything, zeenat. do you also knowhow a person feels...
when one leaves home alive,and the news of his death returns? and then his belongings, his clothes,stuffed in a torn suitcase? so you tell me, you,who knows everything... you, who makes her own life... what do you think?what should i do? if i don't sign these papers,i will be considered cruel. and if i do, i'll crush the pridewith which i am living. no meera, i know amir.he cannot kill anyone. know what my dream is?that i behead that murderer...
who snatchedmy everything from me... my husband, my love, my freedom. surprised? that the innocent,naive meera is talking of killing? i understand your feelings. if i was in your place,even i'd think the same. then you can understand whyi am refusing to sign these papers. make your own decisions,isn't that what you had said? take, this is my decision. i also said you will have to acceptthe consequences of your decisions.
will you be able to? meera, i plead with you! why? because i shouldtake the right path? because what happenedwas an accident. amir did not deliberatelykill shanker. they were friends! so what if he didn't kill himdeliberately. he ruined my life. i want it's price. even if an innocent manhas to pay for it? yes, even then. your husbandcommitted the murder...
and an innocent womanis paying its price. i am fed up of my helplessness,i want revenge! even your quran says that,eye for an eye, life for a life. then the decision is made. the same quran says, 'forgivingis greater than revenge' if you had not cheated melike this... i would perhaps forgiveyou and your husband. i trusted your friendship. but even you turnedout to be like others.
a selfish woman who usesothers for her selfish needs. i'm still your friend. forgive me, amir.forgive me! i permit you to go to thetemple so that you find peace. and behind my back, you aremaking friends with that woman... who ruined our lives. a woman should not be given freedom. you make friends with themurderer of your husband? with my son's murderer?
zeenat did not kill shanker.- you argue with us? it is not her fault. that'swoman's influence is talking. or she would neverlet out a whisper. her freedom is over!she will not leave the house... until my wounded honor heals. what honor are you talking of? the same honor which you areselling to save this mansion? or that honor, on the strengthof which, my price is being fixed? you use me when you wish,you throw me when you wish.
make me your familyhonor when you wish. even after all this,you will not throw me out. because i am very valuable for you. you talk of my honor,but i have not come across... a more shameless man than you. leave my hand! i'd only given your sonthe right to touch me. "relationships, trust, love, faith" "i don't have any"
"i thought i had theearth in my hand" "i opened my hand,and there was only ash" "there is thisnoise in the heart" "if integrity is low" "if this string is weak" what do i do, grandma?- what does your heart say? i have been suppressing my heart'svoice since so long... it died long ago. the heart never stops talking.
listen carefully,it will show you the way. shanker's death snatchedmy life from my hands. but i compromisedwith my fate. because this has been my life.good or bad, i had to live it. because you feared theunknown world outside. yes. it is easy tofollow a mould. let life continue theway it is. our life's string isin someone else's hands. but the string that has been putin my hand, what do i do with it?
who lives, who dies,let god decide that, why me? i don't want to decide.i'm an ordinary woman. i can be selfish. the one who hasgiven me pain, i should hurt him. why am i being forcedto be an angel? i don't want that status.i don't want that right. he plays many gameswith us, doesn't he? somewhat more with me. whatever decision youhave taken, stick to it. i have told zeenat that.
then what are you waiting for?go do what you want. what you are going to do,only a human can do. where are angels destined to it? grandma, i...- you don't have to say anything. i am only trying to cover upmy sins with your virtue. you know randhir willsurely sell you. i don't care about that now.- that's better! my brave girl! go. let me go, mother-in-law.it's a matter of someone's life.
don't even think of going out.- she surely will. taking pride in your husband,don't forget your humanity. remember, even you could be onthis side of the fence some day. now move aside, and let her leave. dear meera, i am sure youwill find this letter. i had come here on a mission. in that attempt,i lied to you, cheated you. but i never wanted to hurtyour already hurting heart. treat it as a hapless woman'shelplessness and forgive me.
i am leaving dejected,but not empty handed. your friendship has filled my heart. your love made me soft again,which i had lost fighting life. what i am going through,you are not responsible for it. i have no complaints against you. you are doing what is your right. in a few days, my amir...but i will live my life again. a life of my principles,my decisions. the world even snatchedthat right from you.
a right that every man must have. if i could,i would bring shanker back. i would hand back thestring of your freedom to you. but i have only this charmto give... with whose support i spent manydifficult moments of my life. i hope it gives you thestrength to fight the world. yours, zeenat. "how will this courage bow?" "how will this desire stop?"
"so what if it's difficultto reach destination?" "so what if the shore seemsa faded sight?" "so what if the heart is broken"
