Punjab 1984

Please somebody come to my rescue.

Somebody save my son.

Please do something for my son...

Where are you, father of our son?

Oh lord!

Be patient.

I can't be patient when my son is suffering.

We have been locked up here, without food and water for two days.

I had come here to pray for the well being of my son.

Hurry up!

The latch is open...

Someone please go and fetch some water for my son.

Please save his life.

Sir, please go.

Please save my son.

I will be back, my son.

Hold on.

Give me the glass.

What are you doing?

It's raining bullets outside and you want to--

God! God! God!

God! God!

Any special news in the paper, sir?

Our leaders are so stupid.

Reacting to the incident that happened the other day

Malkit Sigh Talwandi states that...

he will claim Khalistan with the power of the gun.

If he is so brave

he should first try and get his brother released from us.

He's been trying for the last two years.

Has he succeeded?

He is a Pakistani tout!

But we have to admit, sir.

He has made his presence felt.

I've heard that even the central government

in Delhi is ready to talk to him.

Our people hardly know how to use the power of discussion.

In the conflict between the gun and political verbosity

it is always the latter that wins.

The government knows it too well, that's why it rules.

They will prefer talking only to Darshan Singh Boolpuriya.

That is, if he survives.

But who will harm Darshan Singh?

He always tries to make peace.

He just fancies becoming Mahatma Gandhi.

There are many revolutionaries like Malkit Singh

who are not happy with his politics.

Some Nathuram will kill him someday.

That will make things worse, sir.

So be it.

Mangat Ram...

when the times are bad...

both the thief and the police reap the benefits.

This is the time to get promotions.

Let us make hay while the sun shines.

Why bother about politics?

Salute, sir!

Mangat Ram, she is here again.

She is a stubborn old woman!

She's been after us for a very long time.

You are right, sir.

She is very thick-skinned.

She has not been absent for a day.

Our Balli's wife is better than her.

She visits her parents every six months.

Come, come.

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat something?

Sit here.

Greetings, Aunt.

May you live long, my sweet heart! How are you?

I am fine.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

Where have you been?

I thought you too forgot me, like Shiva did.

No, Aunt. How can I forget you?

You have scolded and spanked me more than my mother has.

Your mother is an innocent soul.

She cannot say anything rude.

It's me, who has a special offering of scolding for brats like you.

Here, have this.

No, I am not hungry.

Just eat it. Or else, you know how I can be.

You are so obstinate, Aunt.

Thanks.

My sweetheart! Thank God you smiled.

Now tell me, where have you been?

Don't tell me you secretly got married.

Do I dare get married without your permission!

Why didn't you come then?

Haven't I asked you to visit me more often?

It makes a mother very happy to see her child's face.

Even if the child has a face like yours.

You are a wonder!

Shiva was right...

'All of God's creation pales in comparison to my mother.'

Let it be. I know your friend very well.

He is just a smooth talker.

He said that he would be back soon.

It's been a year that he hasn't returned.

I've found out about a person in the city.

Baljinder Singh.

He has rescued many innocent young boys

who were arrested by the police illegally.

He is a human rights lawyer.

Lawyer for?

He fights for inalienable human rights denied to people.

Okay.

I'll come at nine in the morning, tomorrow.

We'll go together to meet this lawyer.

Okay.

Come.

To Amritsar...

Where do you want to go?

Ma'am, please take my seat.

May you live long, son.

Him?

Him?

Get yourself together, father.

Sir has called you inside, ma'am.

Calm down.

Please have a seat.

Tell me, what can I do for you?

Nothing to assert. Just a humble request.

Please bring me back my lost son.

The police took him away from the village without any valid reason.

It has been more than a year, I've been looking for him.

But not a single clue.

My eyesight's getting weaker.

I just wish to see him before I cease to be.

Ma'am, I'll leave no stone unturned.

But first, tell me how it all began.

Bravo, Shivjeet Singh!

There's nobody like you!

What a beauty! Such a charmer!

No mother has ever given birth to such a lovely son.

You're so boastful!

Praising yourself endlessly.

Dear, Satwant Kaur! Let me praise you as well.

A beautiful mother like you couldn't be blessed

with any lesser child.

Look at me and see if I look dashing enough.

I guess my eyesight has grown weak by looking at

a glaring beauty like you!

It was bound to happen.

My dazzling looks do that to people.

But you don't worry.

I will get you a pair of goggles.

What's that?

These are dark glass spectacles.

It will save you from the glare, making you look stunning.

I will look blind!

Stop joking around and eat your breakfast.

Bittu will be coming soon.

Did father go to the fields?

Yes, he left in the wee hours.

Really? Why am I keeping the volume low then?

"I am doomed to nothing now"

"I am a love lorn and Doomed to nothing now"

"I am a love lorn and Doomed to nothing now"

"I am doomed to nothing now"

Bittu's here. I am leaving.

Hold on. You must eat something.

Give me.
