Kisna: The Warrior Poet

'These rivers, this land and this sky'

'have stood witness to the ever changing'

'history of the human race.'

'People evolve with time.'

'Many new countries are formed in the course of history.'

'The only thing that has not changed is true love.'

'And 'Kisna' is one such story of pure love.'

"Why did you take away my sleep?

"Kisna!"

"Why did you take away my sleep?"

"Kisna!"

"Kisna!"

"Why did you take away my sleep?"

There is always a special event when one billion

celebrate the Republic Day of their nation.

This year the entire media and government's attention

is focused on a special foreign guest, Lady Catherine Williams.

But the ironic part is that

she is neither willing to talk to any government official,

nor to the media.

She even stays away from the photographers.

Lady Catherine, a former minister in the British Government,

is the official guest of our government.

It's said that Lady Catherine is about to

donate 500 million pounds

for the development of rural areas in India.

All the Chief Ministers of India are eager

to invite her to their respective states.

But Lady Catherine hasn't met anyone till now.

She insists on meeting the President of India

and the Prime Minister first.

Today, many ministers and

big personalities of Delhi are present here, to welcome her.

Everyone praised her at length.

But Lady Catherine said only one word.

What's that? - Greetings!

I know what it means.

Now, we shall see who receives the charity of 500 million pounds

from Lady Catherine. - Thanks!

Perhaps, no one may receive it. - It's cute!

You are welcome!

It has been also heard that Lady Catherine

didn't accept the invitation of the Tourism Ministry

for the tour of India.

Excuse me, ma'am! May I have a sound-byte please?

Sorry sir, we'll have a press meeting later.

Ma'am, please.

No interviews now. Sorry.

Ma'am, this way. Please, come along.

Hail... - Mother India!

Hail... - Mother India!

Hail... - Mother India!

Lady Catherine,

this is Mr Prasad from the Ministry of Tourism.

Ma'am, my name is Rajiv Prasad. Our minister has sent me here.

I understand.

But why?

Mr Roderick, please explain it to her.

She has put our government in a very difficult position.

I can understand it.

But why are you forcing her when she doesn't want to go anywhere?

Mr Roderick, she must go on the India tour.

Please, tell him what I told you.

She wants to know if you want to show her the real India?

What does that mean?

We have already invited her for the tour of India.

Yes!

Please explain.

If you want to show her the real India,

then take her to one place and that is Devprayag.

Devprayag!

Devprayag, a holy place in Uttaranchal

where two rivers, Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet

and the sacred river Ganges originates

above Hrishikesh and Hardwar.

So, what do you think?

This is from our side.

Greetings! - Greetings!

Make sure you are always prepared.

Oh! You got here too.

Excuse me, ma'am. Just one question?

Why have you selected the most neglected place to visit?

Because this is the most neglected place.

But then, this for me is India!

Kisna!

That was wonderful. May I? - Thank you.

Good night and thank you again.

Have you seen her attitude?

I think either she doesn't know anything about India

or she doesn't want to know.

She is just pretending.

I know everything.

I know India very well.

I know it better than you. I know the real India.

I am not pretending.

There are thousands of stories to be told about India

but I have only one story to tell.

Now, no one can stop me from telling this story.

Hello, Manish. Come here soon.

Can you see that mansion over there?

I guess it's a hotel now.

That was my house, my birthplace.

Lady Catherine is saying that the mansion over there

was her house.

She was born here in 1930,

in India.

Before 1947 my father and grandfather

were also raised in India, during the British rule.

My father was the Deputy Commissioner of Pauri Garhwal.

But the villagers hated him.

The land is fertile and the people are loyal.

The fires of revolution for independence

may rage across the rest of the country,

but this place is like an isolated island.

Mister has arrived! Mister is here!

Mister is here.

Good morning, ma'am! - Good morning!

Good morning!

Will you have a cup of tea? - We have had a very very long day.

Well done.

Good morning!

Catherine, where are you going?

Change your clothes first. Please.

Badri, give water to the horses and come inside.

Sriram!

Little miss! My dear, this is for you.

Thank you! Where is Kisna?

Kisna! He is where he is supposed to be.

There he is. - Thank you.

Kisna!

Kisna!

What do you want? - Kisna, I have brought you a gift.

Gift!

What have you brought for me?

Go away. I don't like such jokes.

Let me work.

I have brought you your real present.

Now what is it?

Thank you.

You look like an officer.

Then salute the officer.

Salutations, sir.

Do you think I am a stupid?

This is a girl's hat and not a boy's.

"Sing in a tune..."

"Sing a song that touches my heart."

Kisna, dad is calling you. He is calling all of you.

It's time for the prayers.

I can't attend it. I am busy.

Lakshmi, come with us.

"Let it be a charming melody."

Catherine, now it is your turn.

Wow!

"Sing in a tune..."

"Sing a song that touches my heart."

Father. Father...

What is the matter, dear?

You know Kisna, - Yes?

When Catherine comes,

he sends me away.

Really?

No, dear. He is my student. He can't do such a thing.

But he does it.

And Catherine also braids her hair just like I do mine.

She copies me a lot.

My dear, you like Kisna so much!

You should focus on dance and music.

And have faith in friendship.

Then you will see how he comes to you.

Kisna doesn't care for me.

Don't worry. I will take care of it.

Close your eyes.

Move to the South.

Now open your eyes.

See who it is.

Can you see Kisna?

What do you say?

Kisna, this is the English lesson book, alright?

By next Monday you have to read everything.

Thank you, ma'am. Ma'am, I have also done my homework.

Oh.

That's good.

Ma'am, may I enter your piano room? I want to see the piano.

Definitely! Definitely!

Thank you.

Come with me.

Certainly not! I won't allow that!

You can't enter that house.

People I don't permit cannot enter the house.

Peter!

Don't say a word.

Peter!

Peter, not in front of the children.

Don't encourage this, not in my house.

Do you understand, my dear?

Every religion says the same thing.

To walk on the path of love and peace.

This is what was written in the Holy Gita too.

What if someone doesn't follow this religion?

Then it's our duty to revolt against them.
