Birbala!

Birbala!

Birbala!

Birbala! Birbala, where are you hiding!?

Look the sun is about to set!

Then how could I search you in the moonlight!?

Birbala!

Didn't I ask you not to go on that side?

I'm tired of explaining this to Birbal. But he doesn't listen.

You wicked, you've started talking a lot.

It's not safe to go there. Come.. come.

Birbal, you are here!

Birbal, do you just have to wander here..

.. and there or learn something in life as well?

Whatever I say you hear with this ear..

.. and let go with the other.

In this way you won't even get admission in any school.

Grandpa, look what Birbal has found

Grandpa, is it dead; won't it ever fly again?

Perhaps it's journey ended here. - Journey means?

Means it's purpose must have got solved.

What is purpose, grandpa? - Purpose?

Whatever we have to do in life; consider it your purpose.

Without a purpose life has no identity.

Grandpa, what is my purpose?

One has to decide one's own purpose, Tahaan.

Eating everything! - Hey Tahaan, come here!

Do you teach this to your Birbal?

Look he nibbled my clothes.

Take these sheep to the mountains.

Then you'll come to know, Zoya! - Come to know what?

That how difficult is the job of us men. - You and man?

Do one thing; go and call mother.

Shouldn't I take Birbal? - Leave him at least sometime!

Go; say grandpa has come, go!

Come, Birbal come.

All the time Birbal.. all the time Birbal!

You want to become Birbal when you grow up!?

You could never catch me, Zoya!

Son of Birbal!

You know Birbal, mother was crying even today.

Look mother has come; now you'll get scolded.

Mother, you know I went to look for Birbal..

.. then I heard tanks fire from the mountain side.

And then Birbal spotted a dead bird.

I didn't bring him; he came after me himself.

And then I went home and grandpa went to police station.

Tahaan, Zoya, look carefully and say..

.. what all do you see here?

Nothing. - You shut up; you don't know anything. I'll say.

I see colourful threads.

That depends on the

Father weaved this with his hands, grandpa? - Yes.

Let father come then I'll tell him to..

.. make a picture of Birbal also in this.

Donkey in carpet; have you gone mad or what?

Grandpa, Birbal is absolutely ready to go to work.

We both.. -Tahaan, you are just a kid; immature by brain.

Grandpa, don't pay attention to her words.

This matter is between us men.

Birbal, I've convinced grandpa.

We'll start working tomorrow.

Now you don't make any mess.

So what if I fell asleep; you could have woken me?

Is this donkey yours? He is very cute.

His name is Birbal.

When my father brought him from Sirhom..

.. he was this small.

You aren't coming to school; going to work?

Tahaan walks like a donkey. - come on, move!

Tahaan walks like a donkey.. Tahaan walks like a donkey.

Come on, move! - Tahaan walks like a donkey.

Tahaan walks like a donkey.

Tahaan, look your donkey is running away.

Birbal.

Hello? What? 10 rupees per kilo?

Sir, even if apples rot; they won't sell at the price of potatoes.

Okay discount for you. Fifty.. fifty; but only this time

Uncle Yakub, only interest is getting deposited in your..

.. account; have you thought something about the capital?

I have kept the accounts clear, sir; nothing to worry.

And your son Yusuf; who'll repay his loan?

Well, we pay the interest on time, sir.

I'm worried about the capital.

It's 5 years since your son went missing.

What are you saying, sir; it's not..

.. even 3 years that Yusuf went away.

But.. but your money won't go anywhere.

I am the head of the family. I promise.

Grandpa, Birbal and I have come.

Come on, don't we've to go to work?

Who advised you to come here? Go home immediately.

But last night..?

Hello? - Go.. go.

What's the matter, young man; you look lost?

Come on, let's hear a story. About a little girl.

Very innocent; exactly like Zoya.

Her parents used to toil in the sun whole day.

And only then they could arrange meals twice a day.

On the other hand whole day that small girl..

.. used to move here and there in the house.

Absolutely upset.

One day.. it rained heavily!

And the roof of that old tattered house..

.. was leaking from many places.

Water kept dropping inside from there.

For long she kept watching this with petrified eyes.

Then for sometime.. she fell asleep.

Then, her house got drowned in water?

All the clouds disappeared somewhere.

Bright sun came out.

Through that hole light was coming in.

And fell on a dead butterfly on her shirt.

Slowly that butterfly became alive.

What! Became truly alive? - Became alive!

And then it came out of her shirt and started flying..

.. here and there.. here and there in the whole house.

The girl's happiness knew no bounds. - Then?

Then that light kissed the face of that small girl.

That's it! Since then her life got changed.

She understood that life is not for being upset.

It is like a pleasant dream.

It has to be lived to the full!

Say what? - Could such light touch me also?

Yes, my child yes.

Birbal.. -Tahaan, why don't you teach him properly?

I wonder who is teaching whom?

You're teaching the donkey or the donkey is teaching you.

'It's not the question of only your husband. '

'8 thousand men are missing here. '

'Now even no hope is left any more '

'We don't even know if he's alive or not. '

'Shall I consider myself a widow?

'Oh Allah, to die is better than this. '

Mother, where are you taking all this?

Why are you taking of this carpet?

Birbala? Birbala?

'Everyone is gone; even Birbal is not here!'

Mother, wait! Mother, wait! Mother, where is Birbal!?

Mother, wait!

Wait!

Tahaan, wait! Where are you running!?

Hey wait. Don't run!

I'm getting late!

Why.. why you beat him!? Why!?

Why you beat him!? Why!?

This donkey kicked me twice

Leave.. Leave Leave.. Leave him!

Leave.. Leave! - This donkey is not yours any more

This belongs to Lalaji. Go from here!

If you listen to me then your problems will end forever.

This is your solution. If you sell this house to us..

.. then this loan will get repaid. And then you just relax.

That is all right. But I can't ruin my business..

.. waiting for some missing person.

Look, I kept this proposal considering your feelings.

The rest is up to you.

But, mother Biral..?

Hello!? Hello!?

Hello, I am Moli speaking.

I've sent a money order of rupees 5000, receive it.

There is no letter for you. If it comes I'll send.

Well, policemen were looking for you.

You didn't get informed? Then go.

Mother, but what about Birbal?

Your husband is missing?

Boy, go home.

'Curfew is imposed in the whole region. '

'This morning militants tried to trespass near Karnal sector. '

'BSF restricted them. '

'6 militants got killed in the firing and 3 wounded. '

Anyone among them?

Hey boy, come here.

Don't you know curfew is imposed here?

Family will be worried; go home. Come on.. come on.

Tahaan? Tahaan?

Tahaan, you went to Lalaji's place last night?

Not that, I was.. - Mother, he was out for long.

I saw him sneaking into house very late at night.

Birbal! What a surprise! It seems he followed me.

Mother, you know they beat him so much..

.. beat him so much that I couldn't tolerate.

So I just went and cut his rope.

And did you think what they'll think about you?

They'll call you a thief.

Take him back to them?

Hey you thief! You stole the donkey! - Leave.. Leave me.

Sir, this child stole the donkey. - Stole?

No, he doesn't steal.

It's matter of only 2 days, Mr. Mirza.

I've ordered for a new truck.

Then all the deliveries will be before time

You just keep the payment ready.

Sir, this child stole the donkey. -Thank you.

So, kid; is this true?

If I had stolen him.. then would I come to return him?

Sir, give me some work.

Instead of money give me this donkey.

Come on, go. - Sir, believe me; Birbal and I can do a lot.

Hey go! There's no work here for you, go!
