Heer Ranjha (हीर राँझा)

Deedo, what are you doing here? I was looking for you.

Heer, be quiet! I am praying to the saint.

What for?

Should I tell you? - Yes.

I prayed the saint should side with me in our hide-and-seek.

You still won't find me. - Why?

He's our saint. He'll help me!

Is it so?

Yes, it is. - Well, try it.

Close your eyes first! - Okay.

We'll have the same cook make those sweets.

I see.

Heer, what are you up to?

I'm playing hide-and-seek with Deedo. - Who is Deedo?

He has come to the marriage. Look there!

Quite a girl, this one. Bonds with everyone!

Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a pretty girl?

She'll make a fine match for my son, Saida!

My Heer is just a girl. Let her grow up.

By that time you'll have received a hundred proposals.

We'll think about it then.

Another marriage involves us today.

True, but our guests have their hands full tending to Mauju Chaudhary.

Mauju Chaudhary was invited? - Sure. Look there!

Mr. Chaudhary, every clan is proud to join..

..in your celebrations! Why wouldn't we? - Thank you!

Deedo! Come here.

Father!

We're playing hide and seek.

Naughty boy. He can never sit still.

Your younger son, is he not?

Yes. - (Laughs)

Father!

Heer, my daughter!

Brother. - (Laughs)

Chaudhary, what are these people doing here?

They're guests, just as you are.

The other reason you're both here..

..is that I'd like you to shake hands and be friends again.

Isn't that right? I'll usher them in.

Come, sir. We were waiting for you.

Sister-in-law and the kids are already here.

But what took you so long?

We took so long, no doubt. But we'll be quicker leaving!

Sir, what do you mean?

Chaudhary, he's right!

Why did you invite both the families?

Because on the occasion of my grandson's marriage..

..I wanted to unite both of you and double the joy.

That is impossible!

Nothing is impossible in the world.

We will talk about that later. First, eat something.

Not as long as our enemies are here!

In our presence..

..that would not be possible anyway!

We're used to spilling the blood of your men!

Speak up! Whose blood do you offer today?

Yours, Kaido!

Hey, Latif! Get him!

Stop! What are you doing?

Both of you are dear to me. Why are you humiliating me?

Why don't you give up? - Is he someone special?

Step back!

Your actions have not only insulted the feelings with which..

..I had invited all of you here..

..but also insulted my love for you.

You have insulted me!

I do not want such men at my grandson's wedding.

Go away!

We do not want to stay either!

We'll not stay where such scoundrels are invited!

Come, get up!

When will we meet again?

When the saint wills it.

I will pray to God.

Come, Heer! - Come, Deedo!

'This tale of love is old.'

'But it is told in a different way during each age.'

'People have narrated it in their own style.'

'This is our way.'

'Love is sacred!'

'Only God knows the different meanings of love.'

Oh God!

Praying with the lamp again?

You're at it each morning and evening!

The poor lamp must be tired but not you! - (Chuckles)

Tell me what you were praying for?

Someday I will. Be patient.

Me? Impatient?

I've seen this since childhood but I'm still in the dark.

And you think I'm impatient!

The fruits of patience are sweet, Bebo. Be patient!

I will tell you at the right time! - (Chuckles)

What will you tell her, Heer?

Nothing, Mother. Is it necessary to tell you..

..what I pray for in front of the lamp?

Come here!

I will tell you what girls pray for.

For a husband, what else?

Papa! You're too much. - (Laughs)

Papa!

She's not a child anymore.

Don't pamper her so!

You'll spoil her!

Do not worry, brother Sultan. Aren't you still in one piece?

Don't worry.

I know how to pamper..

..and also how to discipline. - Papa! (Laughs)

Come on, enough! - Come.

Where are you two going?

Beyond the river. In the neighbourhood.

To meet Zeenat who's back from her in-laws' house.

Okay, Papa! - Come back soon.

I'll be back by evening. Let's go!

Papa!

I was thinking about our land in Chinchod.

I have learnt there is no one to tend to it.

I was thinking we should send uncle Kaido.

No! Perish the thought!

If he goes, he'll do only two things.

First, he'll ask the people to prepare cannabis.

Then he'll sow the fields with it! Let that junky stay here!

Cannabis!

No matter how much you praise the one who created it, it's not enough!

If I could..

..I would plant cannabis in all the world's fields!

Wow! - I would spend my life drinking it..

..preparing it and sleeping under its shade!

Great!

Great!

One sip gets me shivering.

Strengthens every joint! Fires the brain cells and boils the blood!

Only after drinking this am I wide awake.

I can't see anything but this.

Priest, where are you going? Come.

Priest, where are you off to?

Enjoy this God-given life.

What a brew these boys have made!

If in two sips you don't feel like God, then tell me about it.

Oh God! Now you've started making fun of God too. - (Laughs)

Oh my!

Tell me, Kaido, why do you drink so much?

Priest, this is my medicine.

Ointment for my broken leg.

It makes my pain go away! My sorrows dissolve!

Not your sorrows. But you will perish.

Look, this is why..

..you couldn't marry.

You still haven't mended your ways!

This loneliness will eat away your life!

What loneliness, when I have cannabis?

It will never abandon me as long as I live!

My principle now is to drink and live life, priest.

Leave the rest to God.

You will not mend your ways, Kaido!

These are the signs of despair.

Look Kaido, it's understandable if you lose faith in others!

But it is fatal to lose faith in oneself!

Got it?

I will go now. Goodbye.

Priest, what hopelessness?

Look there, my hopes are coming this way.

Many hopes, at that!

I say, gorgeous, look my way! If only as an obstacle!

Why just look? We have shoes for people like you.

Wonderful! At least you'll remember me.

It seems the cripple has had too much!

My heart leaps even to hear you call me cripple!

I feel ecstatic!

I can cure that as well! Shall I?

Please do. Poison by your hand is sweet.

Raise your shoes, all of you.

Thank God I swallowed your insult for your beauty's sake.

Or Kaido's venomous breath..

..can wither the world!

Great, uncle!

So you want to burn the world again?

Papa has told you so often not to drink so much!

As soon as you get high, right and wrong is the same to you.

You're fine ones to speak!

He lets his daughter wander..

..and has the hookah at home! - Uncle!

Had someone else said this to me..

..I'd have shut him up properly!

Really? - Yes!

Say such things again and I'll settle you! Let's go.

Really! May God keep you safe from evil eyes!

Zeenat, you've really bloomed after marriage!

Your in-laws must be surprised to see your beauty.

I'm sure Zeenat is the most beautiful one at her in-laws'.

No.

The whole of Takht Hazara is talking about only one girl.

Who is it?

Our Heer!

Me?

But Zeenat, Takht Hazara is very far from our village.

Why is she is so famous over there?

I'm telling the truth, Bebo!

When the girls there came to know..

..I'm from Jung, they kept asking me what Heer looks like?
