Ek Musafir Ek Hasina

Stop. Lieutenant sir, this is that spot. This.

On the 14th of November 1947

the 'Kabilis' attacked Kashmir.

'I was sent to the war front on a secret mission.'

'I had two guides with me to show me the way.'

'As per orders, I took off my uniform when I got close to the enemy.'

'And wore civilian clothes.'

'So that I don't get identified.'

Aunt, help me.

Oh God. I'm tired.

Hello. Hello to you.

I say. Why did you change clothes, sir?

You looked really handsome in the military uniform.

You're right.

So when are you going to meet this evening?

Ultaram. Sidharam. Where did you go?

I see.

Hands up! - Recognise me. It's me. It's me.

It's me. Ultaram.

Oh. Ultaram. Sidharam.

But why are you in a burka?

Sir, this is my idea.

Because we know that these 'Kabalis' don't attack women.

So we wore it.

But how come you have this misconception?

Why?

Doesn't it look good?

Okay, friends. Thank you so much for helping me this far.

Bye-bye, girls. Bye.

You're going.

Dr. Jio, give me the documents at least now.

Why should I?

You couldn't show patience even after selling a girl.

Have some patience, will you?

Let all the wedding rituals get done.

Let the bride depart.

Then you can take the documents of the house.

Come on. Sit there.

Won't you give her away?

Come on. Come on.

'My aunt was taking me towards the podium'

'after decking me up like a bride.'

'And I felt like she was taking me towards my destruction.'

'This was not a wedding.'

'But a market.'

'I was being sold for 15000 rupees.'

'That too at the hands of a person'

'whom I hated intensely.' 'Let alone love him.'

'My soon to be husband looked at me so shamelessly'

'that I was left flabbergasted.'

'My uncle was standing close to me.'

'He was so compelled that he too hanged his head.'

Run. Run.

What's going to happen now?

Help.

Father.

You keep quiet. Keep quiet.

Take off the jewellery quickly.

Take off the jewellery quickly.

Or you'll get all of us killed. Hurry.

Hurry.

Jewellery. Yes. Yes.

Here. Here.

Give me the jewellery. Run.

Take off the ring.

Run. Run.

Where are you going?

Run. Just run.

But where will I go alone?

You save your life. Let me save my life.

I will not let you go. Don't leave me.

Leave me. Leave me. Should I save myself or you?

'If I had gone out decked up like a bride at that time'

'I would've been the prime target.'

'I quickly wore my old dress.'

'The city was burning.'

'I managed to come out of the courtyard somehow.'

'No one was bothered about anyone else.'

'I got out of the settlement '

'scared using the halls to die.'

'The world had ended for me.'

'People had ditched me.'

'I might find refuge in the jungle.'

Don't come any further. Or I'll shoot.

Come on.

Listen to him. He is right.

What do you mean?

He says don't go any further.

Is this your dog?

Do it look like a dog to you?

Then?

He is a lion. A lion.

Even his name is 'Sheru'.

Okay. Get him out of my way.

Why? Where do you want to go?

A man is lying unconscious.

I guess his life is in danger.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I'm a great doctor myself. Come on.

Come on. -Come.

He has a high fever.

It's quite high.

So what do to do?

You seem to be booby.

You shouldn't worry about something that has no remedy.

Come on. We'll think about it in the morning.

He looks quite strong.

Nothing will happen to him during the night.

Right, Sheru?

The fever will subside by morning, isn't it?

Say. Come on. Say.

You see. Didn't I tell you?

Who are you?

Asha. My name's Asha.

What place is this?

Someone's house.

This is a storehouse.

How did I end up here?

I got you. We are hiding here.

There are 'Kabalis' all around.

'Kabali.'

I got you here when you were wounded.

How did I get wounded?

While saving my life.

When did I save your life?

Don't you remember?

You saved me from the 'Kabalis.'

Who are these 'Kabalis?'

The ones who attacked Kashmir.

Kashmir? I'm in Kashmir.

Yes. This is Baramulla.

Baramulla?

How did I end up here?

Where did I come from?

Where did I come from?

This place?

I can't quite understand.

My mind. My mind.

Who am I? Where have I come from?

How did I get here?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Eat.

Eat.

You haven't eaten since two days.

You are very weak.

The food will give you strength. And everything will be alright.

Here. Eat a little.

Throw away this food. I don't need anything.

Tell me who I am. What's happening?

You said I saved your life.

You surely know who I am.

Tell me what my name is.

Tell me what my name is.

You're hiding. You don't want to tell.

Why are you hiding?

Tell me or I'll go crazy.

Tell. Tell. Tell.

Sister.

Sister, are you alright?

Don't worry. Everything's going to be alright.

Asha, don't leave me.

Asha, don't leave me.

I am the man who has no home.

The traveller who has no destination.

I have no connection with any house

and land or any soil.

If anyone knows me in this world of loneliness.

If anyone recognises my voice.

Then it's only you.

Asha, don't leave me. Save me. Save me. Save me.

Sister, what are you thinking?

He is in this condition because of me.

Wherein he has lost everything.

Even his night.

And I can't do anything for him

despite being in front of him.

But there are doctors in Srinagar.

Can't they cure him?

I don't know. They might be able to.

But we should do something now.

Every new day will be even scarier for him.

Every night will be more troublesome.

And I can't bear to see all this.

Abdullah, we must keep him amused

somehow until we get to Srinagar.

Or he'll go crazy.

Abdullah, I have an idea.

What?

This harmonium can do wonders.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I am not looking. I'm thinking.

What are you thinking?

How will I spend my life?

How is it going to end?

It's end will be good.

I'll take you to Srinagar.

I'll get you treated by some good doctor there.

You'll be fine in a few days.

And you'll regain your memory.
