Batwara

Nobody can douse the light of truth.

With God as your savior..

...l"lO ham can come OH you.

This story is of those days..

...when the essence of freedom was spreading in our nation.

Just as a gush of pleasant wind

...was bringing a news of happiness along with it.

But that gush of wind was also getting some troubles,

...some worries along with it.

The ones who were worried were the rich and powerful people,..

...the landlords and the kings.

After all the tradition of a manor and estate was age old.

If this tradition breaks,

...then the whole arrangement will get disturbed.

If they lose their age old heritage in front of them,

...they'll obviously get angry and also land in trouble.

On the other side, the poor farmer was worried that

...the dream that he had seen in the age old darkness, will it..

...become true in the pleasant dawn of freedom or not.

The dream of a small piece of land,

which will be owned by himself.

But away from all these worries were,

Landlord Vikram Singh and Chieftain Sumer Singh.

For Vicky and Sumer, winds have always conveyed message..

...of friendship and love and it always will.

People used to swear by their famous friendship.

But even this incomparable friendship will have to face..

...the changing situations.

The pleasant wind of freedom was coming on this condition..

...that there will be a partition in the garden of this country.

There will be a partition of the hearts.

And perhaps, also the partition of friendship.

Partition! Partition! Partition!

Sukhchain..-Yes?

Why are you so restless?

Hello, headman.

Where are you taking the harvest?

Where else can I go, leaving your dominion?

It's not Lakhiya's dominion.

It's the big landlord's dominion.

And I also know that this harvest belongs to landlord,

which you'll sell in the market and

keep the.. ..money in your pocket.

No sir. That's not the matter.

These grains are of my fields.

Which fields are you talking about?

All the fields belong.. ..to the big landlord.

And more than 50% of the grains belong to him.

Sir, if I think only about the big landlord,

then my family.. ..will starve.

Will you satisfy your family's hunger by stealing grains?

Stealing is better than taking alms of mercy.

That depends on you and your conscience.

But whatever Lakhiya will see with his eyes,

he will surely.. ..say it.

And what if Lakhiya brother hasn't seen anything?

Will Lakhiya blindfold himself?

Kashi.. -What happened brother?

Cover Lakhiya brother's eyes.

Whom are you talking to?

Lakhiya hasn't seen or heard anything.. ..Move ahead.

Come on, Kashi.

. Everyone, hide somewhere. Come down.

It's good that I saw the car coming.

Or if he.. would've seen us, we would land in trouble.

Ou're right, brother. He's the middle one, isn't he?

He's Landlord Deven.

Although he's a landlord's son,

but.. ..in the matters of money, he's a stingy merchant.

Viju..-Yes?

Give me my clothes quickly. I've to go for the religious ceremony.

'Ve already kept your clothes ready

...and also water to take.. ..a bath.

Father in law waited for you for a long time.

None of his sons.. ..accompanied him for the religious ceremony.

He was quite furious. -Why?

Vikram brother didn't go along with him?

He hasn't yet returned from hunting.

After all he's a prince.

That's what he'll play, a game.

I'm there for all the work, isn't it?

And now his low class friend, Sumer, has also come.

That swine!

Sir! Sir!

Sir, that swine is over there.

Sumer..

Take this Thakur sir.

Come on, Vicky. Let's move.

So you've killed him, Vicky?

Pick him up. Why are you laughlng?

I just thought of something.

What have lions like Vicky.. ..and Sumer hunted for?

Just a wild boar.

Very well.

If Sumer and Vicky unite, then can even overcome death.

Very well said!

But don't forget that death is always mightier.. ..than life.

And you too keep one thing in mind that..

Friendship is.. ..always mightier than death.

Yes Sumer. You're right.

Friends die but friendship never dies.

Vicky, we've killed one.

These people were saying that there's one more around.

Come on, let's find the other swine too.

Oh my!

Where are you going?

Vicky, I've found my hunt. -What?

Oh! You won't improve.

Listen..please listen..

What is it?

What are you looking at with your wide eyes open?

Don't be angry. I'm not looking at you.

I'm just looking at.. ..camel.

He's fortunate one to carry a beautiful weight like you.

Will you carry me? -Why not?

If you say, I sure will. -Till when?

I'll carry you till you wish.

For ages to come?

I don't know about ages.

Just talk about today.

Then get going on your own way.

My way goes along with your way.

Look, I know you very well.

Your the army man, Sumer Singh, isn't it?

'M a soldier for.. ..the enemy..

But for dear ones, I'm only Sumer.

Look, go away from here. I'm not alone.

My brother must be coming Look over there.

My brother has come.

What's the need to drag your brother in our personal matter?

Let's move. Things seem to look difficult over here.

Hey, who are you?

Oh, it's nothing brother. I was just.. ..asking for the way.

Who's he? -Sumer Singh.

He lives in our tribe.

You grabbed her considering her as a hunt, isn't it?

That stupid girl was talking about ages.

Ages! -I told her that every girl says the same thing.

Talk about today.

She said, Get lost! Even I bid her goodbye.

By the way, she belongs to our tribe.

I won't leave her. -After all my name is Sumer Singh.

Vicky.. -I forgot to tell you. -What?

There's a religious ceremony. Landlord must be waiting for you.

Oh no! I'm dead! Sumer..

...I'll meet you after attending the.. ..religious ceremony.

Alright. -Come on. Let's go quickly.

Welcome. ls the religious ceremony over?

Yes.

You've performed the religious ceremony of the Goddess.

Now go and take your mother's blessings too.

Yes.

May you live a long life!

May you live a long life!

Welcome headman. Sit down. -Hello!

Call Deven. Deven, the headman has come. Sit down.

You've arrived from Jaipur.

What's the news?

What would be the news?

The politicians are having an eye.. ..on the seats.

The British rule is about to leave.

If the British go away, it'll surely effect us, the landlords.

Father, I had called the headman..

...because our profits are.. ..declining day by day.

Headman, is it possible that our farmers..

...are stealing our harvest and selling it across the border?

Good lord!

In Lakhiya's presence which rascal..

I'm sorry.

Who can dare to steal his highness's harvest!

Headman, we have full faith in you.

But it's true that the poison of freedom is spreading in the air.

I know that, sir.

But even Lakhiya has an antidote for every kind of poison.

Accountant..-Yes sir?

Give some sweets to the headman.

Sir.

How much? -Five hundred.

Your highness, give some snacks along with sweets.

Accountant, give him a hundred more.

A; you say.

Long live big landlord!

I was thinking of giving the yearly reward of the farmers..

...on the occasion of Dussehra.

On account of low production? - Deven.

As it we're running into losses and top of it, you're..

I've already decided.

You may go, headman.

Goodbye, sir.

Sir, goodbye.

Father, I'm sorry to interfere..

...but let a shoe remain in the feet.

Don't place it on your head.

No, my son.

These farmers are serving us since ages.

They give us respect and honor.

Tomorrow these same people..

...will rise up to snatch away our honor, father.

Low class people are always cheap.

Sumer, sit with Deven while I'll check where's father.
