Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (ग़दर: एक प्रेम कथा)

'2nd June, 1947,'

'India's most historical day, when it was decided,'

'to compromise to attain the independence of the nation.'

'The Congress, the Muslim League'

'and Lord Mountbatten,'

'signed the partition papers in the Viceroy's house'

'and India was divided into two.'

'The other half became Pakistan.'

'One of the terms agreed upon was non-displacement of populations,'

'entitling citizens to reside'

'wherever they wished.'

'But this couldn't be.'

All Hindus of this area are informed,

this evening a special train will leave for India.

Carry only the essential luggage.

Leave the rest at your houses with your names and addresses.

It will be mailed to the address given to you.

I told you many times to leave for Amritsar.

Even our son told us to come to Amritsar.

But you don't listen to anyone.

I didn't know that the Pakistan government would deceive us.

Wasn't it decided,

Hindus in Pakistan would be allowed to stay on?

But everything's changed now.

God knows, what will happen now.

I don't even know, where and how my son is.

Keep this, child.

Mother, what's this?

God, I can't do this! - Stop, Santo.

What are you doing?

Have courage.

Give it.

My children...

It's poison.

If any misfortune occurs, eat it.

But don't let any ***

dishonour you.

God, it's unfortunate,

a father can't bless his children with a long life today.

Brother Gullu!

Don't cry, sisters.

Brother Gullu!

No uncle, I won't let you leave.

So what if your son isn't here? Your other son, Gul Khan is here.

I swear, uncle and aunt, I won't let you leave.

Son, feelings have lost,

circumstances have won.

No. - C'mon, take the luggage.

Come on, let's leave.

Don't leave.

'In this way,'

'millions of Hindu families,'

'were evicted from their land and made destitute.'

'An 8 carriage train at Pipla awaited 10,000 people,'

'abandoned by both, God and fate.'

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

Beware, they've come to loot.

Kill the aged and children.

Spare no one. Plunder them!

Father!

No.

'In this way, from all over Pakistan,'

'trains loaded with corpses were sent to India.'

'Indians, learn how to kill from us.'

Whoever utters this shall be happy. Eternal is the Lord's name.

'Throughout India, Hindus and Sikhs retaliated.'

'Even rioters weren't spared'

'from this devastation of communal violence.'

Is this the way to treat us?

This is disrespectful!

Why don't you understand our problem?

I'm a reputed businessman of this country.

It's the duty of the government to protect us.

Escort us to Delhi airport, that's all!

Mr. Ashraf Ali, how far is Lahore from Amritsar by road?

35 or 40 miles, that's all.

Going by road to Delhi is dangerous.

Brother!

Brother, infidels.

Aslam.

Abdul, tell me what happened.

The Hindu-Sikh mob on a rampage set Mr. Yahwar's house on fire.

The whole family was slaughtered.

Father, they'll be here any moment.

Usman, Juman, Parvez,

close the gates,

secure the chains.

Inspector, I'm warning you,

if anyone gets inside, I swear, you'll live to regret it!

The one who starts the fires, now runs scared.

Don't disrespect my brother.

You, I'll...

Samir, control yourself,

you're on duty.

Because I'm on duty,

I'm silent. Else...

Else, what would you do?

You're not worthy to stand in front of me.

Would you dare to hit us?

Sir, this is no time to lose your temper.

The special train for Lahore leaves Amritsar in two hours.

Hurry up.

Insolent man!

Sarfraz had often called from Lahore, to come there soon.

How could I leave my lucrative business in India?

With vast donations to the Muslim League,

I tried hard to get the entire Punjab included in Pakistan.

But it was futile.

They offered us a Pakistan, like a crumb for a beggar.

If we had a year or two,

we could've sold our properties and migrated to Pakistan.

Hail the Lord!

Hail the Lord! - God!

Hail the Lord!

Wait!

Hail the Lord!

Before they break in, escape by the back door.

What happened? Come quickly, dear.

Sakina! Where's Sakina?

Saku! - Saku!

Saku, where were you? Come, quick!

Everyone, quickly sit in the truck!

Come on, fast.

Come on.

Be careful Saku. C'mon, everyone.

Passengers to Lahore, please board the train as fast as possible.

Another trainload of murdered Hindus arrived from Pakistan.

Kill these Muslims!

Come quickly.

C'mon, leave soon.

Tara, kill him. He is Ashraf Ali, who wanted Pakistan.

Kill him!

Get in!

Shabana. Aslam. Abdul.

Sakina. - Mother.

Mother!

Father!

Father! - Sakina!

Saku! - My daughter is left behind.

Father! - Sakina!

Sakina! - Father!

Sakina! - Father!

Sakina! - Sakina!

Father! - Sakina!

Sakina! - Father!

Sakina!

'Sakina!' - 'Saku!'

'Sakina!' - 'Saku!'

'Saku!' - 'Saku!'

'Sakina!' - 'Saku!'

'Sakina!' - 'Saku!'

'Sakina!'

'Sakina!'

Muslim girl.

Abhijit. She is a beauty. Come here.

Come here.

Come here. - No!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Tara, save me.

Madam. - Help.

She is a Muslim girl. She's our prey.

No one will touch her.

We ran for a mile after her and now you want her? Lay off.

I said, no one will touch her.

I know her.

So what? Their men paraded our women ***.

Stand back, I won't spare her.

Stop!

What are we doing? Why are we fighting one another?

Brothers, he's Tara Singh.

He's the chief of transport. Don't you get it?

It's between us. Let's compromise.

Give up the girl, we take her first.

Tara, have you gone mad?

Will you shed your brother's blood for this girl?

Don't forget she's a Muslim.

She's a Muslim. She's a Muslim.

She's a Muslim?

Now, she's a Sikh woman.

I swear, if any one dares to even look at her, I'll behead him.

Tara is here.

"Come."

"Come, my unfulfilled love."

Darmiyan, get up.

Still sleeping? We've reached college.

"Come."

Darn you! What have you done?

I was asleep. You startled me. I woke up

and the chickens flew away. And the eggs...

Stupid! Get the chickens.

Meanwhile, I'll see the Major of the canteen. Okay?

What? Friend, the canteen has a manager.

A Major shoots enemies with his gun.

And Darmiyan Singh unloads the truck.
