Des Pardes (देस परदेस)

''Mother, it's sufficient! My stomach if full.''

Eat some more. Tomorrow you are going.

You won't your mother's Rotis in the foreign country.

''And daughter-in-law, pack some boxes..''

..of prickles and sweets in his luggage.

He won't get these things there.

''Father, these days we get everything in UK.''

''But you won't get Lassi, will you?''

''We get Lassi too, but we don't get homemade Lassi..''

..and definitely not the Lassi that you make.

Veer! Where is Veer?

Veer said that he has some work in farm.

That's why he asked us to come there after lunch.

''Brothers, you are here only for three months in three years.''

''Can't you stay here for some time? - No, Veer.''

l have already booked my tickets.

lf l don't go tomorrow l will get a call from the factory.

But before going you decided with sister-in-law..

''..if you want a boy or girl this time, hadn't you?''

With God's grace she will have a baby boy this time.

As if you are too bothered about it if it's a boy or girl.

The moment you sit on the plane you forget your family.

Do you know how hard l work there?

Just to make some money and take all of you there.

This time you will have to swear on Gita..

..that you will take us there as soon as possible.

Show me your hand.

What are you doing? - Wear this ring.

l hope this ring reminds you of us.

''One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..''

''..nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.''

Get up. Get up.

The train is coming. Hear the sound of train.

''Uncle, we can also hear the sound of train from that pole.''

Come. - Let's go.

''Gita, don't touch that pole. lt leaks current.''

''Don't go, Gita. - Veer, stop her.''

''Gita, stop! Stop!''

Gita. - Gita.

Thank God!

l can't forget that day when two kids died..

..near this pole due to current.

''Gita, never go anywhere where there is this sign.''

Assume that there is death near that sign.

There is death near that sign.

Did you get me? My darling!

Motherland!

Foreign-land!

We will get happiness here.

lt is our Motherland.

Foreign-land!

We will get happiness here.

lt is our Motherland.

Foreign-land!

''lt's same story, but in a new land.''

''The path, the destination is the..''

..and it's the same sky.

lt's a dream.

lt's our dream.

This is a foreign-land.

l am not alone.

l am not alone without you.

Your memories are with me.

''My only wish that the flowers of different colors..''

..blossom together.

''lt's neither yours nor mine, but it's ours.''

This foreign-land.

''So you are back, my friend Sameer.''

Even if London's Bing Ben stops ringing..

..but our cheers won't stop.

''Like old wine, old friends are also very intoxicated.''

''To your health, sir! - Cheers! Blesses, my lord!''

l heard that this pub is on lease. l'm thinking of buying it.

''Not only this pub, but the hard-work that you are putting..''

..within a few days all the pubs of west will be yours.

Sit down. There is a chief reason for buying..

..this kind of pub. Five years ago when l came to London..

..l was sent out of an English pub because of my color.

And since then it's my ambition..

..that Sameer Sahni will have to be the owner of a pub..

''..when white, black, right, poor..''

..where everyone would sit together and raise their..

''..glasses and say, cheers. - Cheers, my friend Sameer.''

''They are giving this pub on lease for 35,000 pounds.''

''l have 10,000 pounds less. l have applied for a loan..''

..to the bank. l will get an answer next week.

''lf l give you 10,000 pounds, without interest..''

..then what will you give me?

Give me a little bit of working partnership. Just a bit.

Whatever you want.

''l, my girlfriend and her daddy your friend, Mr. Burns..''

..we've such a good influence in British government..

..that we will make a hell of a profit within a few days.

''Then let's join hands, Gurnam.''

Let's two lndians do something in London.

''lnspector Martin, you speak English so well..''

''..that if you are in lndia, then anyone will believe..''

..that you are a Kashmiri Brahman.

''Kashyap, in London lmmigration department..''

..he can speak to lndians in their own language.

But you can even talk to me in Punjabi.

''Mr. Sameer Sahni is here, sir. - Right.''

Send him in immediately. - The watch may run slow..

..but not Sameer. - l don't have such a courage..

..to come late when police calls me.

''Mr. Martin, Sameer and l are old friends.''

Yes. From those days when we first came here.

''l wanted to meet you since a long time. - No, thank you.''

You are popular among your countrymen and you are also..

..the leader of the lndian workers' association.

That's why to improve the relation between..

..the government and lndians you can help us. - Yes!

Many people came here with fake passports.

''These people come here from Dubai and Persian, Gulf..''

..to Europe and there they wait on the ports..

..till they get a chance to reach England..

..through some illegal routes.

And these are the few people who defame the lndians here.

l completely agree with you.

This illegal immigration can be stopped..

..but the people who come here illegally..

..don't get the help of their fellow countrymen.

And Scotland Yard has given us the responsibility to..

This is not only police's responsibility..

..but it's also our responsibility to stop such a racket.

You will have my full co-operation.

Give me a puff. - Oh! lt's so cold!

Out you go! Out! Come on. Come on. Out.

Come on. Out you go! - Come on. Get out. Out. Fast.

The police patrols roam here in every half hour.

Come on. Out.

Let us stay here at least till the sunrise.

''Hey, this is foreign-land. Sun rarely rises here. Come on.''

''Then, brother, at least give me a cigarette.''

lt will at least make us feel a bit warm.

My responsibility was to bring you to foreign-land..

''..but not buying cigarettes for you. Hey, make it fast.''

lf anyone knows that lndians are coming to London..

..from Europe without passports..

..then you will go to jail and you will also take me there.

''Friends, walk fast. lf you stay back, then you will stay there.''

Put your passports in this briefcase.

You won't need them again.

Put them in the briefcase.

The eight-one is not there.

Where's the passport of the eighth person?

How can we stay in foreign-land without passport?

And how can you stay here with fake passport?

British Government has given the stamp on it.

How can it be a fake one?

What's your name? - Bhuta Singh.

What's your name in the passport? - Avatar Singh.

What if the police know about your identity?

Can you see this photo?

ls there anything wrong in this photo?

Do you know whom you are talking to?

ln Dubai we took money from you to just bring you here..

..and to get you a job here.

And in Europe also when you got on the boat to Dover..

..my agents made it clear to you..

..that your passports will be taken away from you.

Passport! - Don't want to stay in foreign-land?

''Hey, get me a bidi.''

Now listen to me very carefully.

Your mouths will be shut. You came here like thieves..

..and you'll stay here like thieves.

Assume the work that you will be given to you as fortune..

..like your fellow countrymen who're surviving of our mercy.

''Ok, now give me my commission.''

''Dilawar, bus conductor, 12.50 pounds.''

''Patel, cook, Playboy club, 10 pounds.''

''Ramaswamy, waiter, 10 pounds.''

''Gurdayal, aircraft cleaner, 12.50 pounds.''

''Singh, airport cleaner, 10 pounds.''

Talk to them before giving them the money.

''Ok, but pay your money first.''

''Murarilal, bus-conductor, 12.50 pounds.''

''And he is my brother's son, who died last month.''

You got him a job in motor garage.

He is a cleaner and he gets just 10 pounds.

He also goes to school.

l request you not to take 50o/o commission from you.

We can't survive in such a small amount.

He got a job because of my recommendation..

..or else they don't give jobs to kids.

He will have to pay 50o/o commission.

5 pounds!

''Talk to him. - What's the matter, Gangaram?''

My friends want me to talk to you.

When did you become their leader?

They selected me to ask you that for how long..

..will we have to pay your commission of our salaries?

Till you get salaries. - But your promise was that..

..we need not pay you commission for too long.

Why do you think that it's the commission..

..of getting you the job? You will have to pay some tax..

..to stay in this country without passport or with fake passport.

But how can we survive with 10-12 pounds per week?

Do you know how many rupees is 10-12 pounds?

''More 200 rupees? That too not for a month, but for a week.''
