'When a lot of inventions were happening in the world'
'The distance of moon and stars was being measured.'
'That time my mother too invented something.'
At one time the stars were just over our heads.
Then one day...
A women made her son go poo.
But she did not find anything to wipe.
So she plucked a star and used it to clean her son.
Her son shone like a star!
The star died.
That had to happen with poor star.
From that day stars went far away from us.
From that day mothers started calling their children the 'star of their eyes'...
...and hug their children tight so that they do not leave them.
'But the star of her eyes had some other goal in mind.'
'When Apple fell on Newton, then he discovered'
'that earth has gravitational force.'
'And we said that God takes care of the hungry.'
'Because landlords had discovered'
'that it would be better if we remain hungry.'
'The rule had gone but not its habit.'
'So what if we were not born with a golden spoon in our mouth.'
'We will not stop eating rice pudding.'
Egg
Very good. Very good.
-Mother. -Mother.
Very good.
-Father. -Father.
Apple.
-Apple? -Apple.
Apple.
'We did not discover that earth pulls.'
'But we discovered that relations attract.'
Take care of yourself,
Where is mother?
Mother, Where is mother?
I am here, come my daughter.
'We discovered that village attracts.'
What is the matter? Weren't you happy?
No one can be as happy as in village.
You are right.
Hey, what are you writing?
-Letter. -Letter?
In three months, you could not speak anything
and you think she will come read your letter in the mud?
I am just practicing on the mud.
-Okay. -After that I will write on the paper.
Who will hand it over to her?
I will ask a child to hand it.
I will ask Ruldu.
Hey, Ruldu...
-Yes. -Listen to me.
No. I am making a house.
I will break your house!
Hey!
-Yes? -They are going.
Listen, I think we should send marriage proposal to their house directly.
No, there's no point.
-Why? -They are very rich.
Are we poor?
You just got two sisters married at the same time to save money.
How can you be rich? How can you be rich? Tell me.
You are just boasting.
Come on, let's go.
-Salutations, uncle. -Salutations, uncle.
Everything is fine.
-Salutations, uncle. -Salutations, uncle.
Go and get a bed from there.
The curry spilled. We had cooked chicken...
Get buttermilk for the boys.
-Come on get it... come. -Come, come.
You were supposed to come last night. Why didn't you come?
What to tell you uncle about last night?
We went to see the sunset.
The sun went to its house and we went to sleep in ours.
Fools, the Sun does not go anywhere.
If it sets here then it rises in some other country.
The earth revolves around the Sun.
See, they don't believe it.
The earth revolves!
Uncle, if it was revolving then we would be moving.
We would be moving and feeling dizzy.
-we would be feeling dizzy. -It really revolves.
Uncle, earlier no one used to listen to you.
And now you have money, so now everyone agrees with you.
You say it revolves we agree that it revolves.
If you say it is stationary we say it is stationary.
If it is sitting then it is sitting.
-As you say. -If it is sleeping then it is...
If it is standing... or sitting.
Greetings, aunt.
-The boys are joking. -Stay away. I am your aunt.
Your feet have become big at a young age.
I recognized from her feet that she is aunt.
Keep quiet. You are free birds.
Uncle. Uncle.
-Look the knot has become tight. -Go and get it opened from your aunt.
Get it opened quickly otherwise you will urinate in it.
You have earned money so do the marriage with pomp and show.
-Yes. Yes. -Whose marriage? Ruldu's?
-Yes. -That of small boy?
Yes.
Isn't he too young?
I think they will let him get mature.
Enjoy and make fun.
The marriage is going to take place not for his age
but to this house and money.
-So many coins and notes. -Yes.
-Look at them. -Money...
Yes, they are notes.
Shall I tell Maggar Singh the day after tomorrow?
Tell him. Tell him. Don't worry.
-Okay. -Okay.
Tell Maggar Singh that we will do the auspicious ritual day after tomorrow.
Okay.
Uncle. Where did you get him engaged?
Maggar Singh from the neighboring village.
We are getting him married to his daughter.
-Of this young boy. -Yes.
-Is the proposal fixed? -Yes, I am saying after it has got fixed.
Uncle was right. The earth really revolves.
Father, don't we have any coins?
Do we have them?
The last time I saw coins was at the marriage of the landlord's elder son.
I could have stolen one, but then everyone would say that he has stolen one more.
Did my ancestors have any treasure you haven't told me about?
Yes. We have 100 hens in our treasure.
From that 4-5 are stolen by cat last night.
I have wiped away your treasure in the morning.
There is a buffalo in the treasure as well.
A stray dog bit the buffalo.
That treasure is no more now.
There are six sisters in your treasure as well.
Out of the six, two of them have been married.
But that still leaves four.
God knows how we will get them married.
Dear, don't forget about me!
I am part of your treasure too...
At least tell me why you need money.
Father, everything has value.
If a human being wants to have... They need money.
Grandmother, remove the veil and do why are you putting wrong knots?
You may put 4 more wrong knots
But never lift your veil.
He is not alone. He is going with Moti Lal's son.
He is my brave son.
He will earn only if he studies.
Is there anything lacking here?
Why are you worrying?
-Obviously I will be worried. -Greetings.
Greetings.
-Is he going somewhere? -Yes.
He is going abroad to study.
Come dear. Take care of yourself in foreign.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yes.
You can make me do as much work as you want
but give me money for that.
What?
Money?
You can give me coins and not ration.
I think he has gone mad.
Look, your son is asking for money.
It is enough that we get food to eat.
Give me money?
-Okay, mother. -Okay dear.
-Take care of yourself. -Okay.
-Okay, father. -Very good, dear.
-Don't worry. -Okay.
Keep eating at proper time.
Let's go.
Why haven't you gone yet?
Go and do work rather than asking for money.
He wants money...
Come on you all too get back to work.
If you want to do something in life
then you will have to suffer pain and do hard work.
You do not get heaven till you die.
I have an acquaintance if you can go to Kolkatta...
"The groom's mother welcomes with water..."
"The bride and groom are standing outside..."
"The groom's mother welcomes with water..."
"The bride and groom are standing outside..."
The groom's mother...
The bride and groom are standing outside.
Make them eat sweets. Have some sweets.
"The bride and groom are standing outside..."
Come on let's go.
Otherwise they will keep standing here.
Now it is my turn.
Hold on. Wait for a moment.
-Okay, now you can play. -Play.
I lost in the first chance.
-Uncle. -Yes boys.
How are you?
Fine, brother.
-Fine. -Why have you come?
Nothing much. We had just come to meet uncle.
I have heard that on the auspicious ritual night
he slept in mother's lap after drinking milk.
And here he is sitting as if very mature.
If he would have been awake at night.
Yes.
Then he would have become the head of the village.
What are you whispering?
-Nothing, brother. -Nothing, brother.
What will you have? Buttermilk or water?
No brother, we had it at home. No brother, thanks to you.
How is that possible? Your sister will get angry.
That I did not offer buttermilk to our guests.
-Sukho. -Yes.
Serve buttermilk to the boys.
Getting it.
Serve buttermilk to the boys.
Take it, brother. -Take it.
Thank you, sister.
What happend.
Now drink it brother. Enough of it.
Is uncle at home?
Why? What work do you have with him?
Talk to me.
No brother, the work is very small so that is why came to meet uncle.
If we had some major work we would have come to you.
Uncle, the boys have come to meet you.
I think our work will not be done.
Yes, boys.
-Greetings, uncle. -Greetings.
Why have you come?
Uncle, we have seen Sun setting, and earth revolving.
Now we just want to earn money.
-Can we go from Kolkata? -Who wants to go?
-Me. -Him.
You? Who will look after your goats then?
Did you ask your mother?
Mothers get upset when children are not around.
I will not spare this idiot.
Hey.
Don't be a fool. This is in-laws house.
Whose in-laws?
Of our sister.
Drink buttermilk.
Challa.
It has been long since we saw the setting Sun.
Let's go and see.
What do I have to see in setting Sun?
My own life is in mess.
You have been cursed
for telling that boy that you will demolish his house.
Listen.
Make him a home.
Go.
Come I will make a house for you. Come here.
We will keep this on top.
Is the house beautiful? Now remove your foot.
Only if you will remove your foot the house will be complete.
Did you see that?
What?
If we want to make the house complete
then we need to step out of the house.
Yes.
Here I have some money.
It is not required.
It will be of use to you on the way.
I have kept master's letter in the luggage.
Okay.
When we moved on without any aim.
We have to put golden bells on the anklet
When we moved on without any aim.
We have to put golden bells on the anklet
There are difficult times ahead
People say there is a country on the other side of water.
Sir,
Master Sant Singh has given me a letter.
Here are the tickets. - Take care of our man.
Ok.
Oh my God, such a big ship.
Mr. Fauji, how much time will it take?
Two cycles of from no moon to full moon...it will take 20 days.
We have to cross the entire sea.
Two cycles of from no moon to full moon
People say there is a country on the other side of water.
Welcome to your new home, boys.
Have a look.
Keep your luggage here.
Keep it here.
Aren't mud houses made here?
There is wood all around.
Our house has beautiful cane ceiling.
And snakes fall from top.
Whom are they bringing by carrying him like this?
Is there a fight that took place?
Has Cheta fallen in water again?
We brought bad luck with us.
It's not you. But our buddy is weak.
This is the third time this month he has fallen into the river.
Maybe he's trying to learn how to swim.
He is Challa. He has come from Kolkata with me.
I have also come with you from Kolkata.
I did not just come out of the sea and sat on your wrist.
Fauji, did you bring my letter?
Yes. I went to your home and got your letter.
By chance you have had a bath.
Get up and have a bath before reading your letter.
He hasn't had a bath in six months.
Does he only have a bath when he gets a letter?
What if the letter didn't come for five years?
How bad he'd smell.
We will not stay with him then.
This is not just letters for us. This is our family.
In the evening after bath When Munshi read our letters.
It feels like, we are sitting in front of our family.
Do one thing. Take the letters to work as well
so that entire family works together and earns more.
Who remembers the family when you get money for your work?
Isn't it Fauji? You are new here.
When you are unable to sleep at night from missing home
Then we'll see if you still think money is more valuable than family.
That money is more valuable or family.
Mr. Fauji, take care of him.
-We are going for work. -Okay, I will take care of him.
Otherwise George will chuck us from work.
Keep alive till night when I will read your letter.
You are saved brother. How are you?
Letter?
I have brought your letter.
Don't worry. Everything is fine at home.
Sinora.
Bella, it is beautiful.
[Foreign language]
George, would you join us for a piece of cake for Patrick's birthday.
Where is my hat?
George, he is your son.
I am glad to see you out of bed, mother.
Haven't you been able to convince Patrick to write to George?
No.
Like father like son.
Sinora.
You want a piece?
-Please? -Sure.
Pehlwan,
Your feet are very big, let’s cut them a bit at a time.
Tomorrow, I will teach you a good lesson.
-Munshi! -Yes?
Read the letter for me, brother.
I'm not finished with last week's accounting.
Let me finish it and then I will read your letter.
Munshi, read my letter otherwise I will get a headache again.
How do you come to know in advance that you will have a headache?
Just as you feel nauseous before vomiting.
It's the same as that.
Also, it has never happened that I don't get a headache on a Tuesday.
Munshi, first read my letter.
Guro is back home waiting
Unable to eat until I read her letter.
It took three months for the letter to get here.
By now she must have become a skeleton.
If she didn't eat for three months then no letter would be coming.
Don't talk in this way. You will be cursed.
-Okay. -Munshi, you read the letter.
I told you to wait until I've finished my work.
And then I will read your letter.
Give it to me. I will read letters for both of you together.
From Goro.
Tara Singh should get the letter.
It is my Goro's letter. Am I not sitting here?
Maybe I am suffering here without you
but it has been a month I have not had opium.
Does Guro take opium?
No. He is talking about my uncle.
I feel very happy when people say
that Cheta has become a rich man.
But do loose cow dung.
You make cow dung cakes as well?
But you said you cannot make a single cake.
No, he is talking about our calf.
Oh, he's just like you.
Okay, I am going to read further.
I feel very happy to see the ceiling leaking.
You have a habit of wetting the bed while sleeping.
Give me the letter. I will read it myself.
-Don't you want to hear? -No, I don't want to hear.
Give mine also. I don't want you to read it.
Munshi, read what is written after the leakage of the ceiling.
Nothing. The ceiling which was leaking has been repaired.
Rest I will read later.
Let's go. My work is also done.
-Munshi! -Yes.
You are mistaken.
The ceiling has fallen.
I know it has fallen.
But sometimes such lies has to be told here.
Give it to me, I will read your letter one by one.
It must be morning by now in Punjab.
You know everything about where he has gone.
But you are not telling me.
Uncle, by asking me again and again the matter is not going to change.
I have told you that he has gone to earn money.
Sometimes he used to say that he wants to go
and see where the Sun sets.
But instead he has gone this way towards Kolkata.
-I have enquired from Kolkata as well. -He did not go there.
Why are you joking, uncle?
How did you enquire? All the time you are sitting here.
It's God's wish now.
Wait, wait, I will go for delivery.
-You... -I'll just come.
Wait, wait.
Send me to Kolkata.
We can send you to your grandparents' house but not to Kolkata.
And you are already in grandparents' house.
I don't know where my son is.
We have learnt
how to cry while bidding farewell at the time of marriage.
But did not learn...
How to cry when our near an dear ones leave the house.
Daridra.
Get up now.
Are there people in foreign land to awaken others early?
-Get up. It is morning. -Do I have some work to do?
Get up. Don't talk too much.
Fauji, good that you woke me up.
In my dream, Pehalwan was about to throw cold water on me.
What? Was he really.
He was going to throw a bucket of water on me.
Forget about Pehalwan.
Once, Guro threw cold water on me..
Nice.
Here, take some money.
Do we get money here to sleep?
This type of hard work I can do.
Don't misunderstand about this.
First you will climb high into the mountains.
-Then you will reach a village. -Okay.
There's a shop in the village where you will find everything we need.
-No problem. I will get everything. -Okay.
-I will give you the list. -Get up Naajar.
Wait-wait!!
Don't give them the drawings.
Let's have some fun with them.
-Give it to me. -Okay.
-Give me, I will give.
-Take.
Here is the list. Everything is written down.
Go and get it.
Just wait and watch how I do everything.
There's one thing.
There is a frozen river on the way so be careful.
Relax. We will manage the frozen river.
-What are you talking about? -Let us go for work.
Come on get up, Naajar.
It is so cold.
The shop is nowhere to be seen.
There is snow everywhere.
There's no people to be seen either.
Wait. Is this the frozen river they warned us about?
It could be. Listen.
Is that the sound of moving water?
I don't hear anything.
Hear this.
Whats that?!
Why are you scaring me? I do not even know how to swim.
-I was just joking. -Don't you understand a joke?
Let me tell you that they have fooled us?
They have not drawn picture of the things we have to buy.
How will we buy?
We have not been fooled... I know English.
You know English?
Say something in English.
-Shall I? -Yes.
Okay. Okay.
-Sunday. Monday. -Yes.
-Onion. Apple. Parrot. -Yes.
-Is, am, are, tree and happy birthday? -Yes.
You know so much English! We will not be fooled.
Tell me do you know of the things that we have to buy?
-All of them. -Yes.
This is amazing.
Let me tell you one thing.
Because they speak English, the English have ruled us.
Now you know English, so we will rule them!
What was that?!
Stop scaring me! I told you I can't swim!
Walk cautiously, walk cautiously...
I will have one horse cart like this when I have money.
Good, you would take passengers.
And call people... horse cart drive to Fatehgarh.
Do you know what is written there?
Kelly General store.
-Kelly... -Do girls have name Kelly here as well?
Stupid, it must be some foreigner.
-Really? -He must be running a store.
-Let's go and see. -Just watch how I speak in English.
Greetings, madam.
Greetings, madam. How are you?
Good morning. How are you?
[Foreign language]
We want to buy a few things.
-Things... -How are you?
[Foreign language]
What is she saying?
I don't think she knows English.
Really? So, you are smarter than her also.
Not smart. I do not know their language.
What are you talking?
How will we buy things now?
Everything is here in front of us, so we can give them to her one by one.
-That is better. -Yes.
Put things in this.
We want to buy potatoes.
-Potato... -Potato...
2kg. There are many people to feed.
-Milk. -Milk.
-Two bottles. They are enough. -Milk.
-Yeah.
-Onion. -Onion.
-The ones which are pulled and eaten. -Onion. Onion.
Onion is good...
You say it... onion.
-Onion. -Onion.
Onion. Onion.
-Onion. -Onion.
Give us good ones.
Eggs. Where are eggs?
Eggs... round ones.
Hens gives the eggs. Right.
No. We do not want an elephant egg.
We want eggs from a hen.
One minute. Naajar will you act like a hen?
-Please do it. -No, I can't.
Do it. You become hen.
I will throw the egg and she will understand.
Let me be a cock. At least I will look like a man.
Become cock but act shy.
And you will seem to be a hen.
Okay. Do they feel shy too?
Okay madam, I will show you.
I will act and show you.
Yes.
Look.
Hen... Eggs...
Look behind.
Now I will make sure that I lay egg.
Look behind.
First you made me a hen
and then you are saying to see the egg.
-Now you are telling me to leave it? -Look behind.
Madam, don't look angrily at me. I am trying to lay an egg.
We are being insulted.
Are we animals?
He is just doing it like that.
Yes.
Give.
Egg.
You know English?
Yes, I know English. Egg.
Why were you playing prank with us then?
Yes.
What were you doing earlier?
Give me.
Pick up things. We have been insulted.
Milk bottles as well.
I will sometimes come alone.
I know English, she speaks English...
We speak English.
He is mad.
Bye. Yes.
Okay, bye. See you again.
You do that again.
You had four coins earlier and you do not have them now.
What else do you have other than this?
Earlier you had four coins and now you do not have that as well.
Did you get everything from the shop?
We got what you had written.
Or else, do you think we would have put the entire shop in the sack?
Yes, we have brought. We have got the eggs as well.
And that too without acting like a hen.
My uncle used to say,
"That if nothing else, a person becomes responsible in a foreign land."
Responsible or a hen?
If I was in Sanaam...
then I would have taught you a lesson.
-Is it? -Are you from Sanaam?
Yes, my aunt is married there.
Do you know Mochi Singh?
Yes, he is my uncle.
-Great... -There is a relationship between you...
Yes.
My uncle is very nice.
The one who has house outside the village.
Yes, close to Bhai Mulk Jaspal.
He has three sons.
Yes. The younger one has studied with me.
We should remain scared of God.
We also work at sawmill.
And can be hit with wood anytime...
-Your real uncle... -Yes...
-With whom you have been eating from one plate. -Yes...
He ran away with my money.
What?
He is my uncle, but we are not on good speaking terms.
He did not come back.
This dear uncle of yours.
You will pay back every penny that he stole from me.
Why would I repay it?
Yes, he should. He should.
-His uncle has cheated so he has to... -Why should I repay?
Go to sleep. I will convince him.
I would not leave a penny but his uncle has taken my dollars.
You will have to return. That man was very shrewd.
Uncle should have killed Aunt.
At least then I wouldn't have any relation with them.
It was better if we had no relationship with uncle.
We are dead.
Who has died? Has someone been cut by saw?
We are dead.
But we are alive. Look, we are alive.
Get up. Everyone has gone for work. We will not get work.
We are dead. We are dead.
Wait for me, take me along with you.
-I'm not going to carry you. Hurry. -I won't make it alone.
Well look, who is here?
I am Naajar.
We were together last night. Have you already forgotten about me?
How can I forget you?
And you? Why didn't you get up?
Haven't you slept enough?
-We have cocks in the village. -Yes.
And when they make sound then I get up.
Here, there are no cocks to wake me.
That is why I overslept.
What is he here for?
You should have asked him to wake you.
Did I shit on your bed?
To make you think I am a cock.
Leave it. Ask him to get us work.
Please help us get work. We can be of great help.
Take these boys to sir.
Listen to me.
I will take you to the boss, but keep quiet.
Ok, we will not speak.
I will do talking. Understand?
-Come. -Okay.
We're going to get work.
Hey, Walt.
That package of yellow Cedar....
-Did you see it? -Greetings.
-All right. -What If he only has work for one of us?
I think I am gone.
And... what can I do for you today?
-These boys can do work for you. -Please.
Please, no Spanish.
They are here for work. Work. Work.
Wait. They can lift logs.
-Like this... logs. -I am dying to know
the end of this little one act play.
But I really got a bunch of things, I need to do here.
Work.
-Work? -We work.
Work he says.
What is your name?
Name... name...
I think he is asking if you know counting till 9.
-Count. Show him. -No, he is asking my name.
My name is Challa.
Challa Singh.
Challa!
You can call me, Mr. Kimbel.
Your work experience?
He is asking about my work. What is cutting called?
Why are you asking me? As if I am educated.
Will you become a log?
No, I won't. People are reborn into other things after death.
And you keep making me do it when I am still alive.
I feed buffalo, I walk buffalo
and I cut trees. Big ones with saw.
We cut it ourselves.
We beat children.
Walt, you remember there were some guys
who were complaining of their bags to get to work?
Yeah.
Well? Problem solved.
Well, come on then.
-Work. -Come on. Come on. Come.
Has he hired us or thrown us out?
Ask him?
"It is just the beginning and thoughts are deep"
Come on nothing has happened to you.
Nothing has happened to you.
"It is just the beginning and thoughts are deep"
Even we know nothing has happened.
You're just tired.
-Munshi... -What has happened?
These delicate boys cannot work.
What are you talking Mr Fauji
In my village, I looked after all the cutting.
Do you know what I did early in the morning?
What did I do?
First he used to milk the buffaloes, then he would take them for grazing.
Yes.
He missed one thing.
With one hand I would graze buffaloes, and with other I would rip out trees.
Yes.
You've seen me do this, right?
Yes I have seen it rolling as well.
Today I have come to know what you brave people can do.
You have seen how we boast but have not seen how we perform.
Alone I used to separate the skin from the millet.
On one side was the skin and the other side the millet.
When millet seeds came
I used to sow them in full swing.
Of course... you must be boasting a lot as well.
-Shut up. -Eat your food.
-Water is here. -So that you regain your strength.
Hurry up and eat. We have to get back to work.
Work again?
You should have at least eaten food.
I'll just sleep and dream of eating something delicious.
At least wash your hands and face. You lied down with dirt on you.
I will never touch water is such cold weather, brother.
Are you missing mother now?
Munshi,
mother used to say that before leaving the house
you should clean the mud of your feet.
If there is mud on the slippers
then the memories of home will weigh you down.
And the person becomes useless.
I was sure to clean my feet well before I left.
That is why I don't miss home.
"Mother brought sons up with love."
"Don't lose hope even in tough situations."
"We had to make our own destiny"
"That is why chose to do this difficult work"
"This is God's wish..."
"It is just the beginning and thoughts are deep"
Is the shift over? I didn't realize it.
It is not for us. Keep working.
Let's go! You have stopped our work as well.
Hey.
Why are you standing? Get back to your work.
Soft tablets. Come get it.
Those are salt tablets. That is not for headache.
What are you saying?
He is saying this is salt. It is not for a headache.
Why are you eating it?
"The young man as heart of diamond."
"There is a strange luster on his face"
"You have to work very hard"
"Your goal is still far from you"
"Whatever is there in your heart Is as deep as sea"
"I cannot even say...that how I am tolerating you being away"
"The circumstances are tough"
"It is just the beginning and thoughts are deep"
Since morning we are standing here and no one has came.
They have hired a girl to give salary.
We'll get less money.
-Good morning. -One cannot say anything to her.
Good day.
I know you.
See.
No, no... No know you.
Yes. See where.
No see you.
No, see you.
-You... -See you.
In mill?
No.
Most hard work in the mill.

I worked the same as everybody.
You no good.
Clever People
Great.
Dried potato, boiled potato.
And if we are very happy then potato curry.
Great.
Hey buddy, please cook something else.
Do you want to eat chicken?
You cannot cook chicken.
Goro used to cook chicken with her fair hands.
And you cook potato every day.
It's probably why my stomach hurts so often.
Don't blame the food. If your stomach hurts get it treated.
First listen to what I am saying.
I am coming from the shop.
Foreigners were sitting eating and drinking there.
Big food and many more things.
I did not understand what they were eating.
But it was expensive and too much in quantity.
I did not understand what they were eating.
You can continue for another 10-12 years.
Come back after enjoying.
You be strong.
You cannot win the battle of life easily.
You cannot win the battle of life either by playing flute, Gurmel Singh.
They do not have to send money to village for girl's dowry.
Why don't you understand? It is not about going with money.
The thing is they get more.
I did not get that much even today.
What is your problem?
-They get more money or they enjoy? -Tell me.
Just be satisfied with what you get.
I don't know that why aren't you able to understand?
We go to work early and come back late.
We have come from far and have to go far as well.
I don't know that why aren't you able to understand?
We go to work early and come back late.
To hell with you.
-You serve potato everyone. -You serve.
All go I go.
All go Lets go.
Back to Work
Hello!
Milk, sugar.
Challa, Challa...
Hello!
Is there any problem?
You are the one who caused The problem and now you are asking me about it?
First you did not give me money
and now enquiring about my well-being.
You rich people cannot understand the pain of emigrants.
We have come from far...
far from our homes.
We have no near and dear ones here.
We cannot see and meet our parents.
Why angry on me?
Just come to the bunk house and see our condition.
These people were like big poisonous snakes in village.
Big poisonous snakes in village.
Here come... work, work... no poison.
But only earthworms...
What is that?
Earthworms...
Small snakes...
No poison... only snake for name sake.
No poison only snake for name sake.
We are like them.
You put salt on them and they die.
And you are killing us by giving us tablets of salt.
You are rich people.
No, you are wrong. No.
I am not rich.
Okay, so I am wrong? Go and tell. I am not scared of anyone.
Go and tell your father George. I am not scared.
-No... Gorge... -Gorge is not your father?
I think uncle George is elder and Uncle Kimbel is useless.
No, no...
Uncle George.
-No. -Uncle Kimbel.
-I work there. -No father.
-No, he is not my father. -I work for senior George.
-Work... -Work, work...
Like you I also work.
Okay, so even you are working.
-So no money for you as well just like me. -No money.
We are poor.
Yes, poor.
I thought you are his daughter.
I too...
I send all money home at the office.
Okay.
Even you are an earthworm.
-No poison. -No poison.
Snake for name sake.
I go to store... to buy food.
I'm coming after you.
These rich people... I spoke in English.
They suck our blood.
Just as ghosts and bad souls get stuck to us...
Don't talk about ghosts. I cannot sleep at night then.
Your body is so strong and you are scared of ghosts.
That...
Don't talk nonsense. Come to the point.
Munshi, listen to me then.
What do you think?
Why do we have to do more work?
Gurmej Singh, you tell me.
Why do we get less money though we work more?
Aren't we fair complexioned?
Or we do not know English?
I think both the things.
If that is the case then I shouldn't be getting money.
Come on, what are you saying?
We will have to fight for our rights.
in which you will not step back even if you have to sacrifice your life.
Tell us some work which we can do while we are alive.
Leave everything.
Just raise your hands and let me know who all are supporting me.
If I get you all more salary for less work.
What? More salary?
Of course.
Foreman, we have understood what you are saying.
But how will this happen.
First raise your hand and then I will tell you.
Very good.
I knew it.
It is better you walk on a dangerous path.
What brave people! Everyone is back out.
I cannot do it. As it is I get frequent headaches.
You will not be able to do it.
Munshi, you are mature enough.
Go to sleep. It is already very late.
Anyone else may see but not the owner. Pass quickly.
Has anyone of you here seen Challa?
Challa, boss is calling you.
George is calling you.
But why?
You like to make money, right?
I can work more.
Yes, you can speak English?
-Yes I can speak English. -Good.
-Yes -Good.
You work at my house after the shift. Alright.
You come with me and I will show you what to do.
Money?
You come with me and I will show you what to do.
-Yes -Good.
We get some pretty deep snow here in the winter.
This is the backyard. You need to start from here.
And clean the junk around the buildings out there.
Cut tree?
I don't want you to cut down the living tree.
Just chop the firewood. It is already down here.
No buffalo.
No, we don't have any buffaloes.
I do have buffaloes.
You did not tell why did you go to George's house yesterday?
Don't ask.
My mouth was tired of speaking English.
Is your molar paining?
Mine was also paining yesterday?
Dear, I have spoken English and not chewed it.
But why did he take you with him?
An intelligent person is needed everywhere.
But why did they need you?
a capable and an incapable person.
And also between wasps and mosquitoes, seas and ceilings... idiot.
I haven't yet told you about another magical thing.
What are you saying? See.
Chris, my friend.
George asked me to hire people as per my wish.
I think you have stolen this.
He asked me to chuck out people as per my wish.
And you are the first one in my list.
-Brother, I was just joking. -Yes he was joking.
I have put it in your pocket.
Did you put it back?
Yes I have. Should I get more change to put in your pocket?
What have you read that has made you speechless?
Vancouver's news.
They are trying to throw out people like us.
We will have to fight for our rights.
You are talking about rights and I think they are ready to throw us out.
Don't worry.
This happens in big cities and not in districts.
-Really? -Yes.
Let them come. We will handle them.
Don't worry.
We will let him face them.
Yes. Pehalwan need not fight.
They will return when he speaks English.
Come on let's finish eating food.
This news has increased our hunger.
Plz eat a food.
Your brother knows a lot of English now.
Forget about English I know Chinese also now.
Do you know it?
I don't know much.
I will speak as much as Challa has taught me.
Hello. 2kg hello.
-Hello.
2kg thank you.
Thank you.
2 thank you.
Okay.
-Onion... -What to call it?
Onion...
-Onion. -Okay.

You know it well.
Doesn't it gets sold that you give me every time?
It has become black in color as it has not got sold since long.
-Money, tomorrow.
-Okay bye. -Won't you give her money?
-Money? -Your brother is well known here.
Look, your brother has respect here as well.
-I see you. -Why are you here?
Mr. George see me mill and he asked me to work hard.
-He say come home... all big work. -You come here...
-Okay. -Heavy work I do.
-All... -You are very strong.
-All these tree I pick one hand.
I was very thirsty.
Hurry up.
-Okay. -Run, run.
Lot of work.
If you want to finish by the end of the day then you better pick up pace.
Be careful.
I will quietly go that side.
Okay fine. I will see you.
Come on, dude.
-Throw... -Careful.
Dude...
How come you are here?
You almost had it.
"After forgetting my past..."
"I have come here for your love."
"I would like to forget the past"
"And ahead there is the lane that leads to your love."
"You are the reason of my love."
"There is no intoxication, no fun...no satisfaction."
"Whatever it is my heart is crazy about her."
"After forgetting my past..."
"I have come here for your love."
"After forgetting my past..."
"I have come here for your love."
"I may get ruined and finished..."
"But I will not be able to turn back."
"May be I get love or pain."
But will give smile to my lips
- and tears to my eyes. -Jeete.
-Listen. -Tears to my eyes.
-"I just want to see that scene." -What have you made?
Sister-in-law Goro.
Greetings, sister-in-law.
"I just want to see that scene."
"Whatever this senselessness has given me."
"After forgetting my past..."
"I have come here for your love."
"They never think of profit or loss"
"Those who walk on the path of love"
"They are never alone in this world"
"Those who have someone in their heart"
"Lovers have done wonders in this world "
"They have burnt themselves in fire"
"After forgetting my past..."
"I have come here for your love."
Basant Singh will help you in boarding the plane.
Okay.
Hazaara, here is your money.
Keep it. It will be of use to you. I will take it from your uncle.
That is great, buddy.
Okay, let's go.
Take care of yourself Naajar.
Mr. Kimbel, money.
Sorry son, you are just too late.
Where is Bella?
Bella is not the in-charge here.
I am.
Let me give you a free lesson.
In this life you do not get what you deserve.
You get what you negotiate.
And you have no power to negotiate.
Remember that.
The effort that you have put in to speak English
you could have given me the money.
-Go. -I am going.
I will surely teach you a lesson one day.
Stop.
Are you sure we should send this?
Okay, then leave it.
-No. -No. Okay, no.
-No... -No.
-No...
Enough.
Okay. Good.
I pray that their son comes back.
-Okay. -God!
People like us, working class people.
In Birmingham and Vancouver
are standing up to fight to protect their homes.
It is time we stand up with them.
Now we have someone new among us.
Mr. Kimbel, why don't you come up and say a few words?
Thank you brother Jacob.
Gentlemen,
it is our job to give them a reason to leave.
Who'll give me an amen?
Amen.
I have written that I am fine here.
And pray to God for the same for you all.
What are you writing?
The letter is not for my grandmother but for my Goro.
Just write that
whenever I miss you the breeze starts dancing.
Dancing?
The Sun lies down under my feet.
I can see your face in the waves of sea.
These are strange things.
These are about love.
Is this line fine?
The Sun may rise after setting dear
but your face always shines.
-Right? -Very nice.
You should write that to your mother.
"If I would have forgotten you, dear."
"I would have made the sun rise after it sets."
"If I would have forgotten you, dear."
"I would have made the sun rise after it sets."
"If I would have forgotten you, dear."
"There is no music better than your smile."
"There is nothing as sweet as that."
"Your eyes are as deep as the river."
"And have not seen sea deeper than these."
"Your eyelids shine like the waves at night."
"Your strands of hair make me restless."
"I would have made the sun rise after it sets."
"If I could do something for you, dear."
-"All the stars and moon..."
[Punjabi alphabets]
"All the stars and moon..."
Very good.
"It is witness of my love."
Looking good boys.
Where to next?
[Foreign language]
Hey...
-Get back. -What?
No.
You are goons.
Fight.
One to one.
Anyone.
No problem.
-Let's get him.
One to one.
No!
-"He has done his work in the this world."
"When the white teeth shed."
I had fallen.
-"I think of your talent at that time." -Is made at that time.
"When God reads scriptures with clean heart."
"You have to be there in this world, dear."
"It makes the world more beautiful."
"I would have made the sun rise after it sets."
"If I would have forgotten you, dear."
God is one. Victory be unto Guru.
Written by Challa. My mother and everyone else.
I am fine here.
Greetings to all from my side.
Thank God. Now I will fix Challa's marriage as well.
Jeeto, come otherwise the seller will go.
Show me something with embroidery.
Have a look.
Brother, say something.
Why have you kept your mouth shut?
I do not speak.
Get the suit stitched once and wear it and then my suits will speak.
Then convince them not to be rude to me.
I will tear them and make them rags.
-Show me. -Go away. I am not going to sell.
Jeeto, what are you doing here? Get in.
-Yes. -Mallo, you too go home.
Okay.
-No... -No...
-You seem to understand. -No ginger and sauce.
Now add cottage cheese.
This seems to be like a chapatti.
Wonderful.
Nice.
George.
-No, no. -Hey, darling.
-What is going on? -Nice.
Bella makes the most delicious Pizza. You should come join us.
Try it. You'll love it.
And you are here laughing, drinking and dancing.
No, no drinking.
Get out.
You think that's funny? Do you? Well?
We'll see how funny it is when you don't have a check.
Oh, George.
Challa.
What are you doing here?
Are you okay?
No, no, are you okay?
Just feel bad for pizza.
Can I pick it up and eat?
No, no...
No. I will make special pizza for you. See.
Bella.
Okay. You go inside.
See you tomorrow.
Go and find out.
Why didn't you go today?
I did not feel like so did not go.
You said that work hard and earn money.
What has happened now?
Are you not strong enough to work more or you have earned enough money?
Now you are stuck.
You will have to work and do as they say.
What are you saying?
No one tells the sea which side it has to flow.
It is its own choice whether it wants to go left or right.
The breeze decides whether it wants to remain a breeze or become a storm.
Be the master of you own will. Just like me.
Only then you will get your rights.
Goro says that there is nothing like it if some matter can be solved with love.
Ask Goro to work for four days
and then she will know what to say and what not to say.
He is right.
Tomorrow we will get salary.
Shall we say that we want salary
-equivalent to foreigners. -Yes.
-Will we get salary tomorrow? -Yes.
I think we should not talk to George yet.
Let us first decide and discuss amongst ourselves.
That whether we should talk or not.
There is a way to talk to someone.
There should be a proper way.
You are experienced so suggest something to me.
Just imagine there is a landlord in the village.
His worker is very experienced and mature.
Though even he is not at fault he asks him to leave in anger.
Does that mean did he just ask him to stop doing household work
or even from working in the fields?
This depends whether the landlord along with being angry said bad words or not.
What if he has said few bad words?
My experience says that
when landlords say bad words they thrash as well.
Just imagine he did not thrash.
I think he has been asked to stop working in fields as well.
How can he chuck him out?
When he is not at fault.
How can he chuck him out?
What do you think foreman?
You said you think... I know what you think.
What kind of calculations you do?
Talks nonsense.
You have put food on fire for cooking. Then keep a watch as well.
I beg of you sir...
I'll rather leave.
Get up. Come on.
Hi mom. - Patrick.
I missed you. I got that work.
You don't worry. We will convince the George.
pretty good. I'm really.
I've made us weekend plans with him.
Oh, treat.
I'm thinking maybe we might need some play on it.
And you? You'd like to get.
I just
I remember the and.
You know, if you want to stay, I introduce you.
Oh George - Stop it.
This was a good car accident.
Mother.
Excuse me.
Oh, I missed you so much.
So has the family.
Oh, I still just want one.
It's so wonderful to have you back.
You still can't believe you're back.
What are you doing here?
If Mr. George sees you then...
Kill.
Is madam happy?
Yeah.
Yes. I will go and get it. You wait.
She will be so happy to thank you.
No, no... no thank you.
I come here...
meet
I come here...
Meet you. -For me?
What for?
Bella!
-Mother!
Mother's letter.
Challa, I... I am so happy for you.
Mother! Say?
is everything okay? Is your mom okay?
Yes.
What is it then?
Bella.
I am being called. I will come back. You wait.
Okay.
Coming Sinora.
You don’t worry, we’ll convince George.
Well, a letter from Mother has arrived. Consider it a blessing from Mother.
There is no difference between Mother and God.
There is a difference, Foji Sahab.
If I jump into this river and kill myself right now, I can reach God,
But I won't be able to reach my mother.
As if your father's mills run here.
Look at the way they are sleeping so deeply.
Discipline.
Fauji, where has he gone?
Where would he go? He thinks himself to be very smart.
I am also finding him. He is not out.
It isn't possible that he has gone for work.
I think...his luggage is also not here.
Has he told anyone before leaving?
No.
Greetings, brother.
Greetings.
Natha Singh, are you at home?
Shall I come in?
Challa,
Who is it? - Challa, my son.
Challa, Challa.
- Challa, my son has come.
Brother is here.
Challa, my son.
Brother.
Sister, brother has come.
Brother.

Challa, my dear son.
Brother.
-You have come back after so many years. -Get some water.
Challa, my son.

My dear son Challa has come.
Mom, came challa.
My dear son Challa has come.

My dear son.
Father, Challa has come.

-My dear son. -My dear son.
Sit down, sit down.
Sit down.
Get water for him.
Come on hug now.
Tell me.
Show you something
Show it
You will be surprised to see.
Really?
I have closed my eyes. Show me now.
Don't try to be Dhritrashtra. Open your eyes.
Keep your eyes open.
Okay. -i bring it.
I hope you have not brought a foreign woman for me, idiot.
It is better than a foreign woman as well.
Show me.
Hey!
You stay out. I will bring it out.
Yes.
Listen to me, buddy.
What is this?
-Come, come... Get back. -Okay.
Come. Show me what it is. What is this?
-Shall I show you? -Yes.
Look.
-Is that yours? -Yes.
Touch it.
-Shall I show you more? -Show.
Oh no....wow!
Is this all ours?
Not ours but mine.
You wait here and I will get sweetmeat for you.
No, don't spend.
Uncle is coming this way.
After you left theft has increased in the village.
Really?
I will do one thing.
You have to guard this treasure.
Understood. Do not worry.
-Let him come. -Greetings, uncle.
Greetings. Live a long life.
-Greetings, uncle. -Greetings.
So Challa, what have you brought from Canada?
Look at this uncle.
I have seen your earnings.
Why are you jealous, uncle?
As if I have not seen it earlier.
You must have seen it, uncle but not like these.
Brother, mother is here.
Come my dear son. Hug me.
You have come after so long. Come, my dear.
No one will come close to Challa.
She is my mother.
Come on talk to him. And be proud.
If you don't want to hug me, my son, talk to me about something else.
Oh, God...
Mom, touch the money and see
so much money.
No my son.
Son, should I get your sisters married?
A proposal has come from the same house for both of them.
Doing both of them together.
No, no, not now, we will get both of them married together.
We will marry one by one, and we will have grand functions.
Well said.
Okay. Mother take this.
Keep this. It is money.
-Money?
No, no, no, my son, we will not keep it at home,
you bring the cupboard, then we will put it in.
Okay.
Listen dear, I wanted to talk something important with you.
-Okay. -Come that side. There.
Come here, come this way.
Son, I have sent your proposal through Sukho.
I don't want to get married right now.
What kind of money is this? - So much money.
Challa, bring it.
I'll tell you about money.
I don't want to tell you anything, everyone go to your homes.
Go away, go away.
Don't worry, I'm here.
-Greetings, aunt. -Greetings.
Are you alright?
Where is Jeeto?
-Jeeto must be working inside. -Jeeto.
-Mother keep this. -Hi!
Guess what i got for you? -Gossip about your in-laws.
Sometimes you need to speak politely.
I have brought marriage proposal for you.
Not here.
Don't talk here. Let's go.
Now tell me.
I have brought marriage proposal for you.
Has Nikka agreed?
Oh, my God.
No... he is from our family.
He is my brother-in-law.
Your brother in law?
You are right.
All brother-in-laws are not loafers.
-Is he older? -No. He is unmarried and of your age.
-Unmarried brother-in-law. -Yes.
I want to see him first.
You always said that you wanted to get married in a god house.
That person has come back after earning from foreign.
-Really? -Yes.
But still I want to see him.
What is this that you are talking?
Who sees the groom before marriage?
When you have to buy an earthen pot you first check whether it is raw or not.
Yours also turned out to be raw.
Your right.
Okay.
Come to attend someone's wedding.
Wedding? - Hmm.
"When the brother-in-law sits on the horse..."
Unknown person in the village.
Wait, I'll teach you a lesson.
You won't be able to escape me today.
Brother, which is Challa's house?
Why do you want to meet him?
I am finding him. His message still comes home. I want to meet him.
I'm asking why you want to meet?
You run a shop but talking as if you are a policeman.
Even you don't look to be so innocent from face.
You seem to be a robber.
Even God has not blessed you with good looks.
Your looks are like a goat, eyes like a frog, and your tongue...
Like a dog.
-A person knows about himself. -Listen to me brother.
I very well know people like you.
You find out about people in morning and loot them in evening.
Challa is my friend.
He and I have been working with him in Canada.
Have you seen your face?
Challa won't even say lies to people like you in foreign.
Look at this.
This is called Canadian dollar.
Oh, my...
Even you have a note.
Now will I have to guard this money as well?
Listen brother.
You sit here and I shall get something for you to drink.
Brother, tell me something.
I hope you have not come here to buy my shop.
I have not come here to buy anything. Just tell me where Challa's house is.
Come I will take you.
That is Challa's house. Come on.
You have told me, now I will go myself.
Do I have to go to Bikaner? I have been to Canada.
-It is about money, brother. -No problem.
Brother, listen to me...
The winter here is nothing as compared to winter in Canada.
When a person dies then his soul leaves after 3-4 days.
Because if it comes out then it might die.
Keep quiet otherwise she will get scared.
Other just talks and nothing else.
Oh, my God.
-Who has fallen? -Who is there?
I am coming, dear.
-I am dead. -Mother...
Mother...
walk carefully.
Oh, my God. I am dead.
-Walk properly. -Pick her up as well.
No, no... I will get up.
People may not pick you up, but God may pick you up.
Even God does not take them. These are just statements.
Are you fine?
-Mother, are you fine? -Yes, she is fine.
-Sit down. -Sit down, mother.
What happened, mother?
I fallen, dear.
Thank God mother, you were saved.
Of course she is saved. A train was not going to pass on her.
These old woman have so long veil.
And that is why they fall.
Mother?
What happened, brother?
No problem. She is fine.
The way mother has fallen
Not only ants flour... but its blood must have got drowned.
Drink water, mother.
Turn this way and drink water.
That's your father-in-law sitting there.
What light does father-in-law throw that would hurt mother.
Mother, you could have drunk water from within the veil
And would not have fallen.
Girls, go and make something to eat. I am very hungry.
We will take care of mother.
Without falling she will not eat.
As it is if you want to put the veil
you will have to get your knees scratched.
I say,
That lift the veil once and see, mother.
No my son.
No, dear. There are elders sitting outside so we have to cover our face.
What kind of elders are they from whom we have to hide face?
Mother, other people are not bothered.
Others may or may not be bothered
Your father and grandfather matter.
Ask them to cover their face.
Mother, how do you put the veil?
The board in the village must be bigger than you.
The place where we put cow dung cakes is bigger.
Listen her.
I feel like making 5-6 tents here.
Grandmother, tell me one thing.
Didn't you feel like removing veil and see the outside world.
My world is in the veil.
You think veil is everything.
There is so much outside the veil as well.
Oh no...
Challa come here quickly.
What happened?
Mother, cover your face...
Mother, she has removed her veil so you too should do it.
-No. -Remove it, mother.
Grandma is very beautiful.
Today I saw the face of mother completely.
She would have been no less beautiful than Bella in her youth.
Magar, look she is coming without covering her face.
I feel like I've seen them somewhere.
She is Natha's Bishni.
She has to go to in-laws house.
Your name is talked about everywhere...
Will you tell me what has happened?
Bishni has removed her veil.
-Has Bishni removed her veil? -Yes, of course.
-Did you see? -The entire village saw this.
Natha Singh....
Natha Singh is not breathing.
Look, he has gone away
I want to go with him.
-Greetings. -Greetings.
How are you, Jeeto? -Greetings. -Greetings.
Let's go inside. - He used to drink clarified butter.
Yes, he had to suffer alone because of that.
One should stand beside for support.
-That is why we are standing. -Yes.
That which is acceptable to God.
Go and have water. You are standing since long.
How are you dear?
Sometimes it's fun.
Look at the situation at least.
You are my sister-in-law does not mean that you will behave in this way.
Teach her something.
In future, she too has to go to her in-laws house.
Okay.
Our compound has become deserted.
That's right, Mother.
People are gathered today only after he left.
It is destined by God.
He was shocked by that act.
Yes...
Bishni shouldn't have lifted her veil.
Right! She shouldn't have.
Mother just lifted her veil... but did nothing wrong.
But shouldn't have lifted at this age.
At this age? Was mother 18 years old?
When else should she have lifted the veil? She is old enough to die.
What can we do?
It is God's wish.
She shouldn't have lifted the veil.
Take it. Take some sugar toys.
Take this.
Challa...
look at that.
You always said that you wanted a girl
who would bring storm.
Look, she is so beautiful.
No, no... she is not storm like.
Don't deviate my mind. Go and serve food.
"The quails move in the garden."
Water
Serve water this side as well.
Yes.
"Don't get separated."
He was so strong.
"The doves sing in the garden."
"The eyes have seen it all."
"We will think it to be doves."
"Don't leave us and go."
How much more do you want to test him?
"Don't get separated."
He is confirmed from my end.
"Don't get separated."
'Whatever you want to say, say it fast.'
What do you think about the agree marriage?
Mom sent him, yes, so it must be done.
Say whatever you wish to.
Later you know how much women talk.
If you want to talk about dowry,
I have weaved 11 area rugs,
21 bed sheets and 11 hand fans.
Five of them have peacock couple. And one with single Pigeon.
Others with couple and one only with single Pigeon. Why?
Haven't you heard that saying?
In the river flowing, there was pair of pigeon,
one pigeon flew away and they separated.
I don't want to ask about dowry.
I came here to tell you...
I know everything about Sukho.
I am not talking about Sukho.
There is another.
She is foreigner.
It was better, if you had said nothing.
Who talks such things with his would be wife.
I do it. Times are changing.
It is better to tell everything at first.
I am like an open book.
You do not understand if you read from the middle...
But start from the beginning.
Don't talk so intelligently.
I am illiterate, I can't even understand your expressions.
"Don't get separated."
Where is challa?
I don’t know. I can't find him,
He didn't tell us when he was leaving
"Stay before my eyes."
"Don't get separated."
No see you.
No, see you.
-You... -See you.
In mill?
"The bulbul sings in the garden."
"My heart is becoming restless."
"Because my heart keeps worrying."
"Don't get separated."
Oora, airaa, eeree, sassaa, haahaa...
Haahaa...
"Don't get separated."
I wanted to tell you earlier.
But you were so busy in your work
that I did not have courage to tell you.
A person came from Canada
in my neighboring village.
He gave me Taara's letter.
And was telling about the situations there.
They are going through very difficult situations.
The mill has closed.
There is no work
and they are being
send to places where disease is spread.
Now in such circumstances.
How can we give letter to their house?
They have lost all hopes.
Munshi used to say that many times
in letters you have to say lies to cover up things.
That is also our family, Challa.
There are talks about us getting out of here.
From here we will be sent somewhere else till next year.
Where there is a lot of disease, Like Malariya and etc.
If Challa was there, this would not have happened to us.
He knew a little English.
Najjar, You take care of our family.
Challa did not return.
You take care of our family. - Challa did not return.
Challa did not return.
Come, come, let's go.
-No, no, go back. No. -Come on.
Come on, get up mow.
-No, no. -Come, let's go to heaven.
What are you doing and with whom are you talking?
Your grandfather was calling me.
-What? Where? -Look, he is sitting on the wall.
I was just saying for the sake of saying.
-What? -That I want to go with you.
He really came to take me.
What is he saying?
He is telling me that he will take me to heaven.
When he was alive he did not take me to fairs
and now he is promising to take me to heavens.
I think even in heaven he would ask you to cover your face.
How will I be able to see heaven with veil on my face?
Whatever maybe the case but he loves you, grandmother.
What will I do of love when he keeps nagging?
I will tell him.
Dear, my day did not start without seeing your face.
And now I am scared of it. Yes.
A person should love the world in which he is.
What is the point in looking behind?
Maybe he is not happy in the new world.
A person looks behind when he does not feel happy where he is.
Maybe he feels scared there.
What kind of a person he is who would get scared of situations?
Jeete gave this money.
And this letter.
He is absolutely fine.
Son, is Taara all right?
Yes, he is all right.
-Greetings. -Greetings.
-Taara gave this money. -Okay.
And here is his letter.
Repair the house ceilings.
Masterji, I will build a roof over your house.
You educate the boys and girls of the village.
Why should only the children of the landlords study?
Don't worry son.
Brother, how long can we survive by eating chapatti alone.
I am going to talk to sir today.
We work so hard and still get nothing much in return.
Of course. Times are changing. We need money.
Everywhere girls are talking about lifting their veils.
And then he is telling girls to study.
What does he think of himself?
I have explained him many a times.
Time once lost does not come back.
You better convince that foreign returned son of yours.
Okay.
No brother, it is difficult for Canada.
The government has stopped immigrants from entering.
I am not alone.
There is a girl with me.
There is a way from Hong Kong.
It's not easy, it will take 6 months, you'll have to take care of yourself.
Who is Challa?
Where is he?
Challa
Challa is my son.
His childish talk has reached the landlord's fields.
And his servants have started demanding payment for their work.
No no constable, why did we ask him for money?
He is our food provider.
Put this in his mind too
Otherwise, he will face such a case and will not be released from jail for the rest of his life.
I will explain sir.
Explain it well.
Greetings, aunt.
I want to talk with you.
I am also.
You also. - What?
I know you need to go.
He told me everything about his condition.
No one needs you here.
Go where you want to go.
Today I understood which books' stories I had been listening to.
"Accepted with God's grace, all the problems."
"Who can match to Punjab mother's courage?"
"Who see off their son to wars and abroad with a smile."
"Challa did not came back."
"Stranger to his own nation!"
"Listen Challa wanderer, you dont miss us?"
(Hukam Shabad)
Fauji...
You can thrash me later.
There is someone with me.
Chete, come here. I want you to meet someone.
Chete, Where Is Bella
He's gone to Italy.
She went to Italy.
"When you walked bravely on water."
But I have to warn you.
Kimbel is up to no good.
He is putting posters up all over the town.
You be careful.
Come on let's go.
"The world relies on stalls of food and water."
"We resort to God when in pain."
"Whatever elderly people and prophet said..."
"Is absolutely right."
"No country except ours belongs to us."
Do you have the money, George?
Is there any way, you can give me more time?
Sorry.
Money, Mr. Kimbel.
I, standing here hand over all the stock of the mill to Mr. Francis Kimbel.
Mr. George...
-What are you doing here? -Don't sign it.
Challa, I know you mean well. But it's too late.
No.
Take.
You don't have to do it alone. We're with you.
He know get mile
Challa, this is adorable.
Look, I know you are special. But I also know how much money you make.
This is way beyond your means.
Yes. True, because I am not alone.
All other workers are with me.
What.
What is this?
I told you that one day I would make things very difficult for you.
Those days have arrived.
Mr. Fauji. Boss.
No.
What is it that you used to say?
Nego....
Negotia....
Negotiation.
This isn't over.
Plan B than.
Wait.
Whatever you like nothing more. And it's for you all.
So go. Exactly right.
Yes, that's it. Go.
No. I want you to go.
Soldier Singh, I know you have fought bravely for the British army.
There is a mad and drugging mob coming to take your life.
Is that the destiny you fought for?
Right now, soldier, you're fighting someone else's battle.
He fought for himself and he fought for others.
Do you remember
the Gurus were present to tell the truth.
But no one is going to tell the truth about us escapists.
It doesn't make sense that you would be giving your hard earned money to George.
When you will be leaving this country.
Come on Mr. English, tell them.
I think they feel that we are doing all this
so that we might get more pay and dignity.
If I knew English well
then I would explain him
that we have come from the place where sacrifice is considered
as one if given that of head.
Giving away money is nothing for us.
They do not agree.
Mr. Kimbel!
You have been harassing everybody in this town.
The Singhs, the Wongs...everybody.
We will fry you out of here.
I would like to see you trying to do that.
Would you like to join us?
This is your chance.
Come on. No.
No. this is your last chance.
Congrats good job man. Good job guys.
Well done.
[Indistinct chatter]
Pull the pole.
You too come or have you become a foreman.
Challa, Cheta is drowning.
-What? -Cheta is drowning.
Cheta has fallen down again.
Hurry up. Get to the pond.
??
Hurry up! Get to the pond.
??
Stop.
Whom did you get from Punjab?
I got Chete's wife from Punjab.
You make other's wives happy.
But not bothered about your own.
Say something...
Mad.
Bella! If you please.
I am sorry!
Bella!
How do I explain you?
"I Love You."
Okay, fine.
Come on!
Yes.
Shall we go to work or wait here till night.
He became the owner of such a mill.
I told you, the kingdom is gone, but Raja Karna's habits haven't changed.
We may no longer be in power, but we are still the ruling class.
