'Punjab..'

'The land of five water bodies.'

'Famous for tales of friendships and enemities.'

'Where they don't bow the heads for pride and honour..'

'They behead them.'

'Talking about pride..'

'..a village Rakba in Ludhiana district's..'

'..village head Diler singh's name comes on top.'

Today in the memory of Late Mr. Joginder Singh Bal..

..we have arranged for a wrestling competition..

..which you are enjoying right now.

The strongest wrestlers of India shall display their might today.

This is a sport meet where big bulls are fighting.

There you go, we have just been blessed with the presence of..

..a great personality, the pride of our locality, headman Dilar Singh.

I warmly welcome the Headman on behalf of..

..the management committee and the Bal family.

Well done.

Wrestlers eat almonds and not dry bread.

He's one of Singhara's wrestlers.

A nobody cannot defeat him.

Well done. That's what's called wrestling.

You need to have powerful thighs.

Superb! Well done, my boy!

Very good!

I'll add almonds in your milk.

Grab him, grab him through his shoulders.

What are you doing? You are Singhara's wrestler.

Grab his shoulders.

Lift him up! Yes! Now throw him down.

Very good.

Hats off to my boy.

Go for it! Turn around! Very good.

Hats off to my boy.

Is there anyone who can defeat him?

Anyone?

Is there anyone who can defeat him?

No one.

You should start wearing bangles.

In this village of eunuchs, isn't there anyone brave enough..

..who can wrestle with Singhara Singh's wrestler?

Is there anyone..who can hold this flag?

Anyone?

A village full of impotents!

How awful!

Very good, my boy!

Show him what you've got.

He claims to be like Dara Singh.

Show him what Singhara Singh's wrestlers can do.

Yes.. You..

Damn you.

I have been a headman only for 14 years.

This is what I have been doing since 24 years.

Hey!

Tell your right hand not to act smart or else if my left hand strikes..

..your ear will keep ringing all night.

Another thing.

If you've faced a thrashing by a Jatt that too during winter winds..

..then it hurts all the more.

Remember that.

Sad face.

'We are going to talk about the other pearl of the same string.'

'Dilar Singh's younger brother, Jassi.'

Look a little sad.

It is my first time as well.

Oh God, please be with us.

This is the first time we are going to give our condolences. Let's go.

Let's go, don't you want to burn the dead body?

We will. He is no Ravana that we hurry up.

We will burn him after Headman comes.

It's not like Headman is going to inaugurate something.

You are waiting for him as we wait for a minister during Dussehra (festival).

There comes headman's younger brother.

- Hello. - Hello.

Father..

I think they don't get along well with the villagers.

There is such a small turnout for condolences.

You are right.

With my folded hands, I apologise..

..as Headman couldn't be here at this hour of grief.

He has sent his younger brother..

..that is the Young Headman to share the family's sorrow.

Now I would like him to say a few words about Karnail Singh. Go on.

This is an unfortunate incident.

They too know that. It's not like they hit a jackpot.

Say something else about him.

What else do I say?

You know how he was.

No matter how bad a person is..

..you only say good things about them when they die. Yes.

Something good, huh?

He was a good person at heart.

I have never come across such a person.

He used to get sloshed and lie in the gutter..

..but would never complain to anyone.

Lambhar's dog used to lick his face everyday.

But he never complained about it to the Lambhars.

I too can vouch for that.

Yesterday at the wine shop he tried to borrow 200 rupees.

Thank God, I didn't give him any money.

How would have his family repaid this loan now?

You can ask Shindhrus.

He pinched his daughter at the fair.

Shindhrus thrashed him, but he didn't even sigh.

So then Karnail Singh gained quite a lot respect in the village.

10 buffaloes were stolen in the village some time ago.

Everyone in the village was sure that Karnail Singh stole them.

Why don't you say something as well?

That's the trust people have.

Such a good deed can be done only by Mr. Karnail Singh.

He wasn't as bad as you are making him sound.

What are you waiting for? Get them!

- Run! - Catch them!

Where did they come from!

They are insulting the dead! Come on everyone, catch them!

Remove your goggles first. Don't bang into something!

Look at them running like Milkha Singh.

Let's catch them! We won't let them go today!

Half of you cover through the other lane, on the other side!

The lane near Maggar's house. The other half follow me!

Hello.

I'd suggest you keep the engine running.

Who knows we might have to run from here as well.

Don't worry.

I come from the headman's family.

Sir, I am starving. Can I get something to eat?

What do we give you? We don't even have any hope left to give you.

- Go and sit with the others.. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Please, come.

Oh yes, we will have to give a gift here.

Yes, we can't thrash people everywhere.

We will have to give gifts at some places.

How much do I give?

Whatever you think is right.

Oh no, I don't have any change.

I have a 1000.

Look at the bride and the groom.

- They have a lot of change. - Yes.

You can ask them. Let's go.

That 100 is mine, aunt gave it to me.

Stop arguing, the money belongs to both of you.

Here.

Keep 100 and give back 900.

Here's yours, Sister.

One, two, three, four..

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70..

I am short of 30. Sweety, give me 30 so that we can pay them back.

I too have 180 short.

It's not like you have to buy gas for your car. Give them here.

They are standing at the door.

Stop your nonsense.

First give me 180 so that I can settle their account.

There..

She doesn't even let you talk.

How do you expect her to fast for you?

Brother, you shouldn't mess with her. She will crush you.

- Are you sure, Brother? - Yes. Think about it.

I'll slap you on your face!

I'll break your teeth!

Come on!

Sister, how do you expect him to fulfill your wishes?

He is already talking to you like this!

Try touching me!

I'll have you and your family imprisoned.

Who spoke against my wife's brother!

She did! She did!

There will be a bloodshed! There will be a bloodshed!

We will shoot everyone uncle right here!

Who said that to the aunt's husband?

- There they go! - I'll throw him away!

Who said that to the aunt's husband?

Not this way, that way, uncle.

- We are fighting with them. - Then I'll shoot this way.

Uncle, he said that he'll break my bones.

Hey, try even touching her, we'll chop you into small pieces.

We are not eunuchs!

We don't give empty threats either!

- Come on! - Then, come on. Let's go!

- They started again.. - Beat them black and blue!

Grab these useless sons-in-law!

- My money.. - Run, they will tear our clothes!

I won't spare you today!

Now you will know who you are messing with! Trying to mess with the brother-in-law!

- Wait you! - Run! - Uncle is running away!

- Where is uncle! - I'll break your head with this!

What have you done!

What have you done!

I went out for two days and you caused such havoc!

I went out for two days and you caused such havoc!

You should have at least taken my status into consideration.

You should have at least taken my status into consideration.

I am the headman of this village.

I am the headman of this village.

No, no..

No, I mean you idiots, I have been working for him since 40 years.

He never received any complains.

And you managed to get 40 complains in just one day!

Sir, both your brother and my son are getting out of control.

To keep loitering around and talking nonsense..
