"خانم شطرنج باز"  فیلمنامه ای از:  شفیق احمد ستاک

بر اساسِ داستانی از: مرحوم جلال نورانی

خلاصۀ داستان:

نازنین دختر زیبائی است.  رنگ وترکیب چهرۀ وی، شاهکار خداوند هنرآفرین را به رُخِ چشمِ آدم میکشد. نازنین عاشق زبان و ادبیات فارسی بوده و از قریحۀ شعری بالائی برخوردار است. او اشعار خود را با مامایش- شفیق- که استاد دانشگاه و عضو تیم ملی شطرنج افغانستان است، در میان گذاشته واز وی برای بهبود کارهای ادبی اش، مشوره میگیرد. پس از ادواج با پسر خاله اش – سرور- که تحصیل یافته آمریکا است، نازنین در می یابد که شوهرش به بازی شطرنج معتاد بوده و گاه وبیگاه نا وقت به خانه می آید. شبهای جمعه و شنبه هم که رخصتی دارد، سرور دوستانش را به خانه آورده و تا نیمه های شب به شطرنج بازی می پردازد.  صدای « کِشت و مات» و کوبیدن مُهره ها به روی تخته که گاه گاهی از اتاق مجاور به گوش نازنین میرسد، روح  و روان نوعــــروس را می آزارد. یک روز نازنین تصمیم میگیرد تا تخته شطرنج شوهرش را بشکند و مُهره هایش را در کثافت دانی بیاندازد. اما ترجیح میدهد موضوع را یکبار با مامایش در میان بگذارد. ماما شفیق برای نازنین میگوید که بهتر است با شطرنج دشمن خود، آشتی کند و این بازی را به صورت درست و مسلکی فرا گیرد، و پس از اینکه یک شطرنج باز ماهر و با تجربه شد، در حضور همسرش با رفقای او شطرنج بزند و پس از پیروزی بر آنان با گفتن جملات تند و کنایه آمیز، غرور آنانرا بشکند، امری که میتواند پای رفت و آمد دوستان شوهرش به خانه نازنین را قطع نماید.

نازنین با پیشنهاد مامایش موافقت نموده و شروع به آموختن شطرنج به صورت حرفه یی میکند. او چندین کتاب شطرنج را مطالعه نموده و با بازی در سایت های انترنتی " Playokay.com" و " Chess.com" با گذشتِ شش ماه، به حیث یک شطرنج باز خیلی قوی، پا به عرصۀ وجود میگذارد. یکی دو ماه دیگر هم نازنین اوقات فراغت خود را صرف آموزش تیوریهای شطرنج میکند تا اینکه مثل یک استاد کهنه کار، شطرنج را یادگرفته و احیاناً مامایش را نیز شکست می دهد.

بالآخره زمان موعود فرا میرسد. در یکی از شبهای دراز زمستانی که سرور دوستان خود را مهمان نموده و مشغول شطرنج بازی است، نازنین سرِ خود را با چادر سیاهی پوشانیده و با صینی چای وارد مهمانخانه منزل خود میشود. پس از القای سلام و ریختنِ چای در پیاله های میهمانان، نازنین پشت سر شوهرش که مشغول بازی با یکی از رفقای خود میباشد، ایستاده و بازی را تماشا میکند. حمید رفیق شوهرش با یک کِشت ناگهانی، سرور را مات نموده و با غرور و طمطراق میگوید « هو هِی! ده شطرنج خو حریف ندارم». نازنین از بالای سر شوهر خود صدا میکند که « نخیر، برخلاف ادعای تان، بازی شما خیلی ضعیف است». حمید نگاهی به طرف نازنین نموده و میگوید « خواهر شما از شطرنج چه میدانید؟» نازنین از سرور میخواهد تا به او اجازه شطرنج بازی با حمید را بدهد. نازنین در کنار شوهرش، روی کوچی می نشیند. او دانه های سفید را برای خود انتخاب مینماید. وقتی چیدن مهره ها را تمام میکند، یکی از رفقای سرور با شفگتی صدا میکند« او نه چیدن دانه ها ره خو یاد داره!» مسابقه آغاز و نفس ها در سینه حبس میشود تا اینکه پس از گذشت نیم ساعت نازنین یک سوار حمید را میگیرد و  و زیر خود را با وزیر حریف تعویض میکند. حمید که حالا دست وپاچه شده با ازدست دادن یک رُخِ دیگر، بازی را به نازنین واگذار مینماید. نازنین که پیروز میدان است، با لحنی آمرانه صدا میکند« کسی دیگه هم شطرنج یاد داره؟» قاسم رفیق دومی سرور وارد میدان شده و با نازنین بازی را آغاز میکند. او هم به زودی، مغلوب نازنین میشود.  رسول دوست سومی سرور نیز باختِ مفتضحانه ای را تجربه نموده و توسطِ نازنین دورِ فیل میشود. برای چند لحظه سکوت مطلق در فضای خانه حکمفرما میشود. ولی نازنین سکوت را شکسته و با لحنی تُند و کنایه آمیز میگوید« شما که بازی تان ضعیف است، حیفِ وقت آدم که باشما تلف کنه. اول برین شطرنجه درست یاد بگیرین، باز بیائین و شطرنج بزنین...». پس از چند لحظه رفقای سرور بدون تمام کردن پیاله های نیم خورده چای خویش، خانه سرور و نازنین را ترک نموده و از شرم دیگر به خانه آنها نمی آیند. حالا حریف شطرنج سرور، خودِ نازنین است. آنان هم به تفریح میروند و هم به دیدن دوستان و اقارب. نازنین با تشویق مامایش در مسابقات شطرنج بانوان کشور شرکت جسته و لقبِ قهرمانی را ازآن خود میکند و برای حضــــور در مســـابقات بین المللی شطرنج منحیث عضو تیم ملی بانوان افغانستان آمادگی میگیرد.

Synopsis:

NAZANEEN, 22, is a very beautiful girl studying at Kabul University. She is fond of Persian Language and literature. As a talented Afghan contemporary poet, her poems are published in some newspapers and magazines as well as on her personal Facebook page online. Before publishing her literary works, Nazaneen always consults with her only uncle, SHAFIQ,48, who is a College Professor and a member of the Afghan National Chess Team.

Graduating from the University, Nazaneen gets married to her cousin, SARWAR, 28, who is a graduate of the University of Nebraska working with the USAID in Kabul. Before long, Nazaneen discovers that every weekend, her husband either comes late from the office or brings his friends to his house to play chess with them until midnight. Now Nazaneen has to cook, make tea, wash so many cups, plates and dishes and clean up after the guests. Her husband doesn’t have time to sit with his wife, take her out or go with her to visit their parents and relatives. Nazaneen talks with her husband to solve the problem, but to no avail. One day, she thinks of breaking her husband’s chess board and throwing away its pieces into the garbage. But she doesn’t want to offend her husband. Nazaneen shares her problem with uncle Shafiq who advises her to conciliate with her enemy and learn how to play chess professionally. And mastering all or at least most of the tricks and theories related to the chess game, she should play with her husband’s friend and try to beat all of them after which they wouldn’t dear to come to her house because of losing face and reputation.

Nazaneen accepts her uncle’s suggestion. She starts to learn chess and practice extensively on her free time. In addition to playing with people from around the world via the online chess platforms such as ‘Playok.com’ and the ‘Chess.com’, she reads several chess books. Six months later, Nazaneen becomes a professional chess master who sometimes beats her mentor, uncle Shafiq.

One Friday night, when Sarwar invites his friends for dinner after which they play chess, Nazaneen wears her scarf. Taking the tray of tea in hand, she enters the guest room. She greets her husband’s friends in the Afghan way by saying ‘Salam’ without shaking hand with any of them. Nazaneen pours some fresh tea to the cups of their guests and stands behind her husband watching him play with his friend, HAMID. Moments later, Hamid wins the game by giving a surprise ‘CHECKMATE’ to Sarwar. Then, with a tone, full of arrogance, he claims that he is an invincible chess master. Nazaneen responds that Hamid’s playing style has many weaknesses. Nazaneen asks her husband to let her play with his friend. Sitting beside her husband on a couch, she chooses the white pieces and starts putting every single of them in their right squares. As soon as Nazaneen finishes her work, one of Sarwar’s friends shouts in surprise. “O my God! She knows how to set up the board”.

Nazaneen starts the game by moving the pawn in front of her King two squares. After a couple of minutes, she manages to take one of her opponent’s rooks. Playing very carefully, Nazaneen defeats all friends of her husband. For a few seconds, eerie silence reigns over the room, but Nazaneen stands and claims assertively “since your chess tactics are so weak and you guys play so badly, I don’t want to waste my time playing with you anymore”. Nazaneen gets out of her guestroom. Before long, the guests also bid farewell and because of losing face and prestige, they stop coming to Sarwar’s house not only for playing chess, but also on other occasions. Now Nazaneen satiates the thirst of her husband for playing chess games. They have adequate time to visit relatives and to go for recreation.

Uncle Shafiq encourages his niece to participate in the Afghan ladies Chess Tournament, and Nazaneen does so. She wins the championship title and gets the country’s women chess team membership. Later, she manages to represent Afghanistan on the international chess tournaments along with other female members of the national team.

دیدار»»

آنشب که ناگهانی دیدار کرده رفتی
از خشتِ عشق، قصری، اعمار کرده رفتی/ دل را به یک نگاهت، بیمار کرده رفتی
با لیزرِ دوچشمت، بر قلب و دیدهء من
هر ذره، هر اتم را، پُربار کرده رفتی
در صفحهء محبت،چشمِ نگاه ما را
در دورِ خالِ رویت، پرکار کرده رفتی
هر چند در دلِ خود اقرار می نمودی
اما به حرف و با لب، انکار کرده رفتی
با خون دل ترا من هر گاه که ناز دادم
ناز و کرشمهءخود بسیار کرده رفتی
از ما بریدی آخر، رفتی تو با رقیبان
هر لحظه، هر زمانی، دیدار کرده رفتی
از خون من نگارا در باغ وعده هایت
سرخ و سفید چون سیب، رخسار کرده رفتی
در شبه جملۀ عشق، ای بیوفای مغرور
خود را گهی چو مجرور، گه جار کرده رفتی
با سیفِ آن دو ابرو، بر فرقِ عاشق خود
حتی به صحنۀ صلح، صد وار کرده رفتی
گفتم که بیوفایی، در عشق جاهلی است
لیکن به این جهالت، اصرار کرده رفتی

برضدِ من نگارا، در بزم غیر دیشب

پیراهنی ز چیتِ گلدار کرده رفتی
صبرم در انتظارت، چون مار پوست افگند
زین جلدِ نادر اما، شلوار کرده رفتی
زلفِ سیاه خود را برگردن ضعیفم
آخر چرا عزیزم، چون دار کرده رفتی

خواندم حدیثِ " یَسِّر" گفتم  " و لا تُعَسِّر"

اما تو زندگی را دشوار کرده رفتی
هان ای " ستاک" خوش باش، کز جور آن ستمگر
خود را زخواب غلفت، بیدار کرده رفتی

 جـِـــــم ِ عِشــــق "

شفیق احمد ستاک – کابل

 

در " جـِم gym" عشق بیائید که دَمبل بزنیم
سخن از تقویتِ عضلۀ تنبل بزنیم
ترکِ تلویزیون و تلفنِ همراه گوئیم 
مشتی بر سینۀ انترنت و گوگل بزنیم
وز سرِ ورزشِ پیگیر و منظم یاران!
شیشۀ روح و روان، یکسره صیقل بزنیم

چهره ها را همه پُر نور ز تقوی سازیم

چون زنان صورت خود بهرِ چه گلگل بزنیم

مؤمن خوب وقوی گشته پیِّ صلح رویم
چون منافق، نه سرِ میخ و هم نعل بزنیم
وقتِ شرکت، به مُباراتِ دَو میدانی
خیز خوب از سرِ هر مانع و "هردَل hurdle " بزنیم
ورزشِ مستمر و خوب، بُوَد بهتر ازآن
که رویم از سر نادانی و " گمبل gamble" بزنیم
در رۀ علم و هنر، ساعی و کوشا باشیم

کار " local" بکنیم، چُرتِ " global" بزنیم (1(
نظم و قانون وطن، خوب رعایت بکنیم

مشتِ محکم به سرِ قانونِ جنگل بزنیم
ترکِ هر تــرَّه و هر فردِ مُدَمِّغ گوئیم
سخن از دوستی با آدمِ " هَمبَل humble" بزنیم
جامِ قهر و غضبِ " نغمه " بگیریم به دست
سپس آنرا به سرِ سینۀ " منگل " بزنیم
جای غیبت نبود زشت اگر با یاران
حرفی از بالیود و" PK" و "دنگل" بزنیم
ابرِ غم را ز فضایِ دلِ خود پاره کنیم
مثلِ اِستاره بخندیم و " توینکل twinkle " بزنیم
 ************************************

مُبارات = مسابقه، رقابت

= hurdle مانع
humble = متواضع، فروتن
gamble = قمار
local = محلی، داخلی
global =  جهانی
twinkle    = چشمک زدن
(1) اشاره به مقولۀ انگلیسی است که میگوید« Think globally, act locally». در بیت بالا، باید مینوشتم " فکرِ global بزنیم" اما با درنظرداشتِ اینکه در اصطلاحات عامیانه همیشه میگوئیم " چُرت می زنم" و تا کنون از هیچ فارسی زبانی در کشور نشنیده ام که گفته باشد " فکر می زنم" یا "فکر می زنی" – بلکه همیشه میگویند " دَ چی چُرت میزنی؟ " ... بنابر این من هم در مصرع فوق الذکر نوشتم « کار لوکل بکنیم، چرت گلوبل بزنیم»

Yousuf Khan is having dinner together with Osman, Ranjeet

THE NEWSCASTER
(breaking news in
writing appears on
the TV screen)
The business tycoon, Mr. Jagatpal
who had been charged with smuggling
drugs, gold and guns, has been
acquitted of the charges by a Bombay
Court since the head of the security
guard of Mr. Jagatpal has pleaded
guilty that he had been the mastermind
of the smuggling scheme taking
advantage of Mr. Jagatpal's social
position and home security. Chaman-
Lal, Mr. Jagatpal's head of security
guards has told the court that he
had been doing this in the last six
months and his boss had no idea what
was going on in his house's basement.

Yousuf Khan turns off the TV and starts talking with Ranjeet.

on his mobile.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Sahil Khan has just gone to bed. But the ringing of his
cell phone forces him to get up.

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

Jagatpal and Malik are sitting among many reporters from TV,
radio and newspapers who are having their microphones and
tape recorders in hand and bombarding Jagatpal with their
questions.

ONE OF THE REPORTERS

JAGATPAL
I mean Yousuf Khan and his Canadian
friend, Haroon, have fabricated
another nefarious design against me.
Agar unlogo ke pass koch gawa hey,

Sahil Khan's voice from the back, interrupts Jagatpal.

SAHIL KHAN
Beam Singh ka khoon ke selseley mey,
police ke pass chashmdeed gawa hey,
or woh ham adalat mey peish karengey.

Sahil Khan walks towards Jagatpal opening his way through
the crowd of people and reporters. Standing one step away
from Jagatpal, Sahil Khan gets the handcuffs from his built
and taking them in front of Jagatpal's eyes, he says:

SAHIL KHAN

Jagatpal.

Sahil Khan handcuffs Jagatpal and takes him to a police jeep
out of the conference room.

Sahil Khan takes the papers from the lawyer.

EXT. ASPHALTED STREET - DAY

Karim Khan is driving the bulldozer in front of a small
convoy. Haroon is sitting with him. Osman, Kabir and three
other men are in the Land Cruiser going behind the bulldozer.

Salim, Yousuf Khan, Ranjeet and a couple of other men are
sitting in the van driving behind the Land Cruiser. The
sunroof of both bulletproof vehicles are open. Very few
cars are going on the street.

Yousuf Khan is checking possible threats on the computer
screens that display videos of the surroundings taken by the
cameras installed in their van.

A Toyota Pickup with two men sitting at the back, comes from
behind overtaking Salim Khan's van. There are large bags in
front of each men. Reaching besides the Land Cruiser, one
of the men gets a RPG7 out of the bag another takes out a
machine gun.

Seeing the men, Osman who is driving the Land Cruiser at the
pace of the bulldozer, suddenly reduces speed. Salim moves
his van to the right and sees the Pickup armed occupants.

SALIM
(to one of his men)
Ashraf bai, urado saloun ko.

Ashraf who has already gone up from the sunroof of the car,
starts firing with his pistol. One of the bad guys is killed
on the spot. The second one is almost ready to fire his RPG
at the Land Cruiser, Ashraf tries to target him, but his
charger has become empty.

ASHRAF
Mera goley khatem hogaya.

YOUSUF KHAN
(giving a hand grenade
to Ashraf)
Yeh lo, esko estemal karo.

Ashraf takes the hand grenade from Khan and opening its safety
pin, throws it at the remaining bad guy on the Pickup who is
almost ready to fire his RPG. The grenade explodes injuring
the enemy and making the back of the Pickup full of smoke.

The injured guy can't see now properly and fires the RPG.
The rocket misses the Land Cruiser hitting the wall of a
house on the side of the street. Salim overtakes the Pickup
forcing its driver to slow down by reducing the van's speed.

Ranjeet, who is sitting at the back of the van with an Ak47
in hand, now clearly sees the Pickup and its driver through
a small window made for firing.

RANJEET
Es haramkhor ko mey maronga.

Ranjeet starts firing. Several bullets hit the driver
smashing the windshield of the Pickup. The car goes out of
control hitting a tree on the left side of the road.

Salim drives faster to reach behind Haroon's bulldozer which
crossing in the middle of a slum. Yousuf Khan's phone rings
showing Haroon's name on the screen. Khan answers the phone.

YOUSUF KHAN
Ha bolou Haroon.

Yousuf Khan. But Seeing a track capsized with its load of
gravel in the middle of the road, he says:

HAROON
Eik truck gravel ke sa't rasta band keya
hey. Karim Khan osko rastey sey oradega. -
But, you should be ready for a potentially
dangerous situation.

YOUSUF KHAN
Ham tayyar hey.

Karim Khan drives the bulldozer over the truck lowering its
blade. The bulldozer pushes the truck to the side. The
bulldozer comes under fire from the shabby houses on the two
sides of the street.

Haroon fires towards one of the snipers who is firing from
behind a wall. Then, he throws a hand grenade which kills
the man.

Karim Khan cleans the gravel scattered on the road. Fierce
fighting breaks out with Salim's van and the Land Cruiser
arriving at the scene. Haroon contacts Sahil Khan.

HAROON
Hello Inspector Khan! Please come to the
slum area because we've come under attack

disconnects the phone and turns his face towards his driver.

SAHIL KHAN
Deepak garey start karo or Pant Nagar
ke taraf jau.

Deepak starts the jeep and begins to hit the road. Another
van full of police force follows Sahil Khan's Jeep whose
sirens are wailing.

BACK TO:

EXT. ASPHALTED STREET CROSSING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SLUM - DAY

Fighting is going on between Haroon, his friends and the bad
guys. Haroon's bulldozer and the other two bulletproof
vehicles are being showered with bullets from behind the
walls and windows of a couple of rugged houses in which the
outlaws are taken position.

Karim Khan drives the bulldozer towards a house from which
several bad guys fire at him.

HAROON
Khan bai? Wos haweeley par civilians hey.

KARIM KHAN
Udar civilians kam or villains zeyada
hey. Or es waqt hamey apney jan ko
bachana hey.

The bulldozer destroys the wall of the house killing two of
the bad guys with its blade. Three other outlaws try to
escape into one of the rooms of the house, but before that,
Haroon targets them.

Karim Khan puts the bulldozer blade on the pillars of a room
on the second floor from which two men are firing. A woman
and a child seem to have been trapped there. The room
collapses after its pillars are demolished by the bulldozer.

The bad guys and the woman having the child in her lap fell
down with the rubbles. But, no one gets any serious injury.
The woman with the child in her lap runs towards the street
giving the chance for Haroon and Karim Khan to shoot at the
outlaws.

Haroon and Karim Khan start shooting at the two remaining
outlaws who are trying to escape killing both of them.
Suddenly a man with RPG 7 appears from the roof of the
neighboring house. He targets the bulldozer but before he
pulls the trigger, Haroon sees him.

HAROON
(taking his gun in one
hand and two hand grenades
in the other calls Karim
Khan loudly)
Khan Bhai jump.

The RPG is fired hitting the bulldozer and putting it ablaze,
but Haroon and Karim Khan has already vacated the machine
jumping on the ground.

While Haroon leaves the bulldozer jumping, he fires several bullets
towards the man who is trying to reload the RPG. One of the
bullets hit the RPG ammunition causing it to explode in the hand
of the man turning him into pieces in the air.

Haroon tries to stand and look at the street from behind the
rubbles of the house, but a bullet impacts on his helmet.

HAROON
(staying down on his
chest on the ground)
Khan bai sar neechey karo or helna mat.

Haroon takes off his helmet and putting it on the barrel of
his gun, he raises the helmet slowly upper and upper. Another
bullet hits the helmet denting the place it impacts. Haroon
reaches his phone and starts calling Yousuf Khan.

INT. INSIDE SALIM'S VAN - DAY

Yousuf Khan, Salim and their friend are also busy fighting
with bad guys who have taken position on the sides of the
street. Khan who has been firing at the bad guys with half
of his body out of the van's sunroof, comes down inside the
van listening the ringing of his phone.

YOUSUF KHAN
(his phone in the
right hand)
Ranjeet bai mera jaga leykar dushman
par firing karo.

Ranjeet replaces Yousuf Khan getting out of the sunroof.
Khan answers the phone seeing Haroon's name on the screen.

YOUSUF KHAN
Bolo Haroon! What's your situation?

HAROON
Our bulldozer has been destroyed and
we are trapped in a demolished house.

YOUSUF KHAN
Don't worry. We will try to reach
their and ease the pressure on you.

At the this time, the sound of a bigger explosion is heard
next tot he van which forces Ranjeet to get down inside.

YOUSUF KHAN
(asking Ranjeet)
Yeh keya ta?

RANJEET
RPG 7 jo dushman ke taraf sey use
horaha hey.

Yousuf Khan's phone rings again. Seeing Haider khan's name
on the screen, he answers the phone.

YOUSUF KHAN
Khan sahab! A'pney ghalat time par
phone keya hey.

HAIDER KHAN
(speaking from inside
a jeep full of armed
men)
Nahee Khan bai, meyne saheeh waqt par

kehleyeh aya hey. A'p zara apney gareya
or adami ke barey mey information

YOUSUF KHAN

HAIDER KHAN

YOUSUF KHAN

HAIDER KHAN

peechey sey befiker rahey.

YOUSUF KHAN
Shukria dost. Mey abhee apney adami
ke saht jo Land Cruiser mey hey,
contact karoonga.

Yousuf Khan disconnects the phone and searches Kabir's number
on the mobile. Finding the number, he starts calling.

INT. INSIDE HAROON'S LAND CRUISER - DAY

KABIR
Salam bai jan. Kaheyeh kya hukm hey?

YOUSUF KHAN
A'p ke garey ke peechey Haidar Khan or
uska saathi hamey madad karney agaya hey.
A'pney unlogo par firing mat keejey.

KABIR
Acha baijan.

Soon Haidar Khan and his men riding four cars join Yousuf
Khan and Haroon in the fight against the bad guys. Haidar
Khan gets out of the jeep.

HAIDER KHAN
(using his hand to
direct his men)
Serf drivers garey mey beitey ga, or baqi
sablog neechey. Do garey right side ko
cover karega or do garey ka adami left
side ko. Hamara kam hey yeh Land Cruiser
or uskey agey ka van ko protection deyna.

Haider Khan's men move out of their vehicles in two groups
taking position behind their cars as commanded. Two bad
guys who see Haider Khan's men spreading on the street get
somewhat demoralized.

ONE OF THE MEN
(to his partner)
Samir bai unkehleyah deir sarey adami
madad karney agaya. Ab hamara kya
hoga. Mera bullets be taqreban khatem
hochoka hey. Meyto jan bacha donga.

The man drops his gun and starts running on a narrow road in
the slum. His friend standing to do the same is hit by one
of Haider Khan's men. The pressure is eased a little bit on
Yousuf Khan and his friend in the Land Cruiser.

BACK TO:

EXT. ON THE RUBBLES OF A DESTROYED HOUSE - DAY

Haroon and Karim are still lying down on their chests to
protect themselves from possible enemy fire. Haroon's phone
starts ringing. He reaches it to answer.

HAROON
(seeing Sahil Khan's
name on the cell
phone's screen)
Ah, booliyeh inspector sahab.

SAHIL KHAN
Ham porani bastey mey poanch gahey .
A'p kedar hey?

HAROON
Ham eik destroyed bulldozer ke pass
sarak ke kenarey mey hey.

Haroon hears the sirens of the police car.

HAROON
I'm listening the sirens of your
car. So you should be near us.

Sahil Khan's jeep arrives in front of the destroyed house
where Haroon and Karim Khan are trapped. A bad guy having
RPG 7 in hand tries to fire at Sahil Khan's jeep, but the
inspector notices him and shoots him before he fires his
rocket.

Another bad guy who sees a lot of police arriving and taking
position in the area, tries to escape, but he is targeted by
one of the constables.

SAHIL KHAN
Mr. Haroon! I think the area is
safe now and you can get out of your
hide outs.

HAROON
(standing on his feet)
OK. We are two people behind the
destroyed bulldozer. Please tell
your men not to shoot at us.

SAHIL KHAN
(signaling at the
bulldozer with his
left hand calls on
his jeep radio)
Do adami wos karaba bulldozer ke
peechey sey bahar a'raha hey. Kohee
unpar firing nahee karega. Wo dono
apna adami hey.

Haroon and Karim Khan get out from behind the bulldozer and
go towards Sahil Khan. Reaching close, Haroon shakes hand
with the inspector introducing Karim Khan to him.

HAROON
Yeh hey Karim Khan, Yousuf Khan's
brother, who have helped me a lot in
doing my social work here.

SAHIL KHAN
(shaking hand with
Karim Khan)
As salamu Alaikum Khan sahab. Jang
keysa ta?

KARIM KHAN
Walaikum As salam. Yeh jang a'san
nahi ta keyon ke dushman ka adami
RPG ke saht aya ta.

Seeing Sahil Khan and Karim Khan talking to each other, Haroon
calls Yousuf Khan.

BACK TO:

INT. INSIDE SALIM'S VAN - DAY

YOUSUF KHAN
(answering Haroon's
call)
Edar sab teeg hey dost. Haider Khan
madad karney agaya. And the enemy
is defeated.

HAROON
Edar bee Sahil Khan a'kar hamey assist

YOUSUF KHAN
Agar eysa hey, pehr hamey adalat ke
taraf jana oga, keyoun ke Jagatpal
ka moqaddema 15 minute ba'd shuro
hota hey.

HAROON
Then, let's move fast protecting the
witness car as much as we can.

CUT TO:

INT. COURT ROOM - DAY

There are many people including Mr. Malik, Mohan, Jagatpal's
Personal Secretary, Soorach and some other lawyers in a big
court room. They are sitting on chairs and benches in several
rows. Jagatpal is standing in the witness box. The judge is
sitting in his seat listening to the Public Prosecutor who
is shedding light on Jagatpal's illegal activities with
much focus on Beam Singh's murder that's displayed on a TV
screen in the court.

THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Your honor! As you saw in the video,
Mr. Jagatpal who is standing in the
witness box, has killed Beam Singh in
cold blood. My Lord! Jagatpal ke khelaf
es sey pehly bee drugs, guns and gold
smuggling ke charges ta, magar usney
apney doulat or political power use kar

chief of security guards, Mulzim ko kehney

Your Honor! How is it possible that the
head of the security guards of a man
like Mr. Jagatpal who is a middle class
person, stores so much drugs, gold and
guns in the basement of his boss's house
without his prior knowledge? Your honor!
Yeh adami to wos bar adalat ko gumrah
karkey, qanoon ke geraft sey bahr aya,
magar es bar esey bachna nahee ona
chaheyeh warna janta ka eitabar adalat
par khatem ojahey ga. That's all my Lord.

The people in the court make a little bit of noise upon
hearing the charges on Jagatpal.

THE JUDGE
(hitting his wooden gavel
on the sound block)
Order, order, order. Adalat yeh
jana jata hey ke es video ke alawa,
Public Prosecutor ke pass kohee
chashm-deed gawa hey ke nahi?

THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Jee han hey your honor. Magar woh
abhee rastey mey hey.

THE JUDGE
Mr. Public Prosecutor, if your witness
doesn't arrive in the next 15 minutes,
I've to adjourn the court until the
reality of this video is proven by
CID experts.

Taking a sip from a glass of water in front of him, the judge
turns his face towards the defense lawyer.

THE JUDGE
The defense lawyer may proceed now.

A man in his 50s wearing lawyers' uniform stands up from the
front row and takes a few steps towards the judge.

THE MAN
Thank you my lord! Mey houn Roshan
Lal, Jagatpal sahab ka wakeel. Your
honor! Mera muakkel, eik zemadar Indian,

EXT. ASPHALTED STREET LEADING TO BOMBAY COURT - DAY

Sahil Khan's jeep is being driven with Haroon and Karim Khan
sitting behind. The police jeep, whose sirens are wailing,
is followed by Haroon's Land Cruiser, Salim Khan's van and
another police vehicle full of constables.

BACK TO:

INT. COURTROOM - MOMENTS LATER

ROSHAN LAL
My Lord! With the advancement in digital
technology, photo-shop, and computer
programming, hackers and computer experts can

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET LEADING TO THE PARKING OF BOMBAY COURT - DAY

Sahil Khan's jeep and all vehicles following it enter the
street that leads to the court parking.

As soon as Haroon's Land Cruiser reaches in the area stopping
behind a Police Jeep, two men wearing lawyers' uniform and sitting
in an Honda Sedan get out of their car. They go towards the
trunk of the vehicle. The car's trunk is opened by another man
who is sitting on the driver's seat. One of the men takes a RPG
ROCKET LAUNCHER and the other an AK 47 from the trunk of the
Honda. The man with the Ak47 starts firing at the Land Cruiser
and his friend aims at it with the RPG.

Haroon who is monitoring the area from Sahil Khan's jeep
sees the men. He shoots at the bad guys with his pistol.
But, the man having the RPG succeeds in firing his weapon.
As a result, the bulletproof vehicle is hit and set on fire.

Kabir who was driving the Land Cruiser throws himself out of
the car. However, Osman who was sitting at the back seat
with two other colleagues are killed receiving a direct hit
by the RPG. Seeing the inferno, Sahil Khan starts to fire
at the bad guys. Both men are seriously injured by Haroon
and Inspector Khan's bullets.

With Salim and the other Police vans arriving at the scene,
dozens of armed policemen spread here and there securing the
area. One of the constables arrests the driver of the Honda.

Yousuf Khan, Salim and his men get out of their van forming
a human shield for Ranjeet making a circle around him and
moving fast towards the courtroom.

Sahil Khan runs towards the injured bad guy who had fired
the RPG at Haroon's Land Cruiser.

SAHIL KHAN
(Lifting the man from
the ground)
Tomhara nam?

THE INJURED MAN
Jabbar.

SAHIL KHAN
Deko Jabbar. Tom to mar rahey hou.
Meyre baht manou or marney sey pehly

JABBAR
Tom teeg kehrahey houn Inspector. Chalo

BACK TO:

THE JUDGE
(to the public
prosecutor)
Time deney ke bawajood, a'pka gawa adalat

es adalat ko video verify karney tak
barkhast deyna hoga.

The judge wants to continue, but the courtroom's door is
opened and Yousuf Khan and Haroon with Ranjeet in BURQA get
in. Salim and a couple of his men also enter behind Ranjeet.

YOUSUF KHAN
(in a loud voice)
Your honor! Gawa hazer hey. Since
Jagatpal or Mr. Malik's men had blocked
our way in several places, we had to
fight them to the last man. They even
had their agents in the court parking
who fired RPG 7 at our car killing three
friends of ours and damaging part of
the wall of the court building.

Ranjeet goes to the witness box. The Hindo book Geeta, is
brought by a court staff.

RANJEET
(putting his hand on
the book)
Mey such kahonga or such ke sewa
koch nahee kahonga.

Ranjeet turns his face towards the judge.

RANJEET
Your honor. Mey houn Ranjeet jo Jagatpal

At this time, Sahil Khan enters helping the injured man to
walk.

SAHIL KHAN
(his face towards the
judge)
Sorry for being late your honor. Es
case ke barey mey eik or gawa laya houn.
Yeh hey Jabbar jo abhee abhee es adalat

THE JUDGE
Ejazat hey.

Sahil Khan helps Jabbar to get in to the witness box.

JABBAR
(speaking with
difficulty)
Judge sahab! Mey to marney wala houn.
Magar essey pehly, mey apney poorey
hosh or hawaas sey gawahee donga ke
meney Mr. Malik ko kehney par adalat ke
building ke samney eik Silver Land

Jabbar stops talking for a while and after coughing a few
times, he takes a deep breath and starts to speak again.

JABBARJ
(pointing with his
hand at Malik who is
sitting in the front
row in the court)
Judge sahab! Mujhey yeh adami jo apkey
samney beyta huwa hey kahata key Haroon
ka Land Cruiser bulletproof hey or mujhey
usko RPG sey urana hey.

YUSUF KHAN
(shouting from the
corner of the court)
Your honor! Mera geraftari ka hokum bee
deydeejey. Keyoun ke me teen mahiney
pehly, Mr. Malik ke saht kam karta ta.

Taking a FLASH MEMORY from his pocket, Yousuf Khan walks
closer to the judge.

YOUSUF KHAN
(raising the Flash Memory
to the court clerk and
speaking in English)
Your honor. Mr. Malik is an MP, whose job
is making the law or amending it for the
good of the country. But, instead of
concentrating on his sacred duty, he has
been involved in rape, murder, extortion,
drugs and guns smuggling.

The people in the court again start talking to each other
making a lot of noise.

THE JUGE
(hitting his gavel on
the sound block)
Order, order, order. Saree saboot or
gawahoun ke bayanat mad-e-nazar raktey
howey, yeh adalat Mr. Jagatpal ko Beam-
Singh ka qa'tel qarar deykar Indian penal
court dafa 302 ke motebeq, sazahey mout sona

mujremou ko greftar karney mey assist keya
hey, saza kam karkey, yeh adalat usko eik sal
kehleyeh jail ke saza sonata hey. The court
is adjourned.

Upon hearing the verdict, Jagatpal gets a small pistol out
of his left foot's socks and starts to shoot at Haroon. One
bullet hits Haroon in the stomach, but his bulletproof vest
protects him.

Sahil Khan reacts quickly shooting Jagatpal on the chest as
a result of which he dies on the spot. Malik is arrested by
another police officer and taken out of the court.

CUT TO:

EXT. CENTRAL JAIL'S MAIN GATE - DAY.

The gate of the central jail in Mumbai opens. Yousuf Khan
gets out with a handbag in his hand. Haroon, Nazaneen, Karim,
and Dr. Maryam who were waiting for him greet Yousuf Khan
with the men embracing him one by one.

HAROON

Everyone laughs. Haroon leads his friend to a Land Cruiser
parked at the back and they start to hit the road.

Ranjeet enters Yousuf Khan's house calling:

RANJEET

YOUSUF KHAN

Ranjeet gets the two phones from his pockets, walks upstairs

RANJEET
Yeh leyjey Khan bahye, zara check

Yousuf Khan takes the phones from Ranjeet and checks them

INT. HAROON'S APARTMENT - AFTERNOON

Haroon, Yousuf Khan and Salim, are sitting in the living
room and talking about the inauguration ceremony of their

let's get to work.

EXT. OPEN AREA OPPOSITE YOUSUF KHAN'S HOUSE - MORNING

Haroon, Soorach, Yousuf Khan, Nazaneen and a couple of other
doctors are getting ready for the opening of the Clinic.
Osman, Kabir and his friends are standing on guard keeping
an eye on everyone's move.

Many poor and middle class people from the community are
also present in the open area prepared for the clinic's
inauguration. Haroon goes towards Yousuf Khan who is checking
the sound system on a stage is set up for the speakers.

HAROON
Sab teeq hey ke nahee?

YOUSUF KHAN
Jee ha. Jab chahou, to yeh amplifier

HAROON
Or mey chalta houn apney apartment

EXT. ROOF - DAY

A gun in hand and bullets in a backpack, Yousuf Khan climbs
the roof of his house. He goes towards the water tank to
check if he can take position behind, but the sounds of
several bullets coming from behind turns his attention towards
the street in front of his house. Khan sees a couple of vans
and trucks loaded with men carrying swords, sticks, and guns
enter the area creating chaos among the people who were coming
to participate in the ceremony.

Many people escape and the armed men quickly get out and off
the vehicles spreading in the open area prepared for the
Clinic's inauguration ceremony. Taking position behind the
water tank, Khan targets the hand of one of the bad guys who
tries to use his gun from inside a van for firing in the
air. As a result, the gun falls from the outlaws hand.

EXT. THE ENTRANCE DOOR OF THE CLINIC - DAY

Nazaneen gets out of the clinic and runs towards the guests
who are sitting on the VIP chairs close to the stage set up
for the ceremony.

NAZANEEN
(to the doctors and
guests)
Ladies and gentlemen! Let's get
into the clinic please.

Doctors and guests sitting in the front row close to the
podium get up and run behind Nazaneen.

INT. HAROON'S APARTMENT - MORNING

Haroon is wearing his bullet proof vest when his cell phone
rings. Seeing Khan's name on the screen, he answers.

HAROON
Bolo Khan bai.

YOUSUF KHAN
A'p zara jaltee a'yyeh keyoun ke
deir sarey gundey or badmash akar
amara area ko qabza kar leyahey.

HAROON
(wearing his shirt
over the vest and
putting the helmet
on his head)
Ketney adamey hey?

YOUSUF KHAN
Do nahey, kam se kam sou hey.

HAROON
Kohi baht nahey. Tom apney position

INT. A ROOM IN THE CLINIC - DAY

Sonitee, wife of Soorach is calling her millionaire father,
Mr. Warma.

MR. WARMA
(sitting on a couch
in a luxury spacious
living room reading
newspaper, answers
the phone upon seeing
his daughter's name
on the screen)
Yes my sweetest daughter.

SUNITEE
Sorry dad, ham bahot mosibat mey

MR. WARMA
Acha beytee, mey abhi Bombay Police

INT. PANT NAGAR POLICE STATION - MORNING

Sub-inspector Sahil Khan is sitting in his office looking
through a file when the phone on his desk rings

SAHIL KHAN
(closing the file and
picking up the
receiver)
Yes, on-duty sub-inspector, Sahil
Khan a'p key khedmat mey hazir hey.

POLICE CMMOMMISSIONER
Mey houn Police Commissioner, Jan

people and the public property.
Essee-leyeh jab tak majboor nahuwa,
goli mat chalana.

SAHIL KHAN
OK sir!

Putting the receiver down, Sahil Khan gets his hat from the
desk and puts it on his head. Taking his stick, he walks out
of his office calling one of the constables.

SAHIL KHAN
Kundan! Alarm laga kar sabko khabar
kardo key commissioner sahab ke order
key motabeq, hamey Pant Nagar jana
hey. Odar hamey beguna logo ke jan
ka protection deyngey.

Kundan presses a button on the wall behind him. Soon many
policemen armed with rifles and machine-guns are on two jeeps
and a van. Sirens are wailing and the police vehicles are
on the road.

BACK TO THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE CLINIC - MOMENTS LATER

Kaleya, the head of the bad guys gets into the podium and
speaking on the MIC challenges Haroon.

KALEYA
Haroon! Harey O Haroon! Kedar houn
tom. Agar apney mah ka dood peya
hey to samney a'u. Meney to sonata
ke tom sher ke tara delawar or bebak
houn, magar ab maloom pargaya ke tom
geydar ke tara, buzdel, makkar or
chalak houn, jo apney jan bachaney
kehleyeh, apney dosto ke jan khatrey
mey dalta hey.

Kaleya makes a pause and an eerie silence is ruling over the
atmosphere.

Kaleya resumes talking.

KALEYA
Snow Haroon. Agar tom panj minute
mey bahar nahey aya to ham tomare
stage or Medical clinic ko aag
lagadeyngey.

Haroon gets out of the door of the apartment wearing a black
chapeau on top of the helmet and carrying the steel cane
used in fighting in Rose Club, in hand. Seeing Haroon coming
out gives some courage to Salim Khan's men who are among the
frightened crowd of people surrounded by the bad guys.

HAROON
Mey a'raha houn Kaleya, woh bee
tomarey kaley karnamo ka anjam tak
poanchney kehleyeh. Keyon ke "Sar
faroshi ke tamanna ab amarey del mey
hey".

Haroon goes towards the podium where Kaleya is standing behind
the MICROPHONE with a gun in his hand.

KALEYA
(pointing his gun
towards Haroon)
Acha to ham tomara sarfaroshi ke
tamanna abhi poora karengey.

Kaleya tries to shoot, but Yousuf Khan targets his hand
injuring him seriously and causing the gun to fall down from
kaleya's hand.

HAROON
(Pointing to his chest
with his thumb and
speaking loudly)
Kaleya, tomarey bazoowo mey etna dum
nahee hey ke kesey mard ka moqabela
kar sakey. Essee-leyeh a'pney wafadar
kotton sey kahon ke goli matchala
hey. Warna khod amareh goleyoun ka
shekar banjatey hey.

Haroon walks towards the stage with Salim Khan and a couple
of his Body Shop employees behind him. But seeing a large
number of bad guys having swords, sticks and guns in hand,
Salim Khan's men hesitate to go further ahead.

Using the same poem of SARFAROSHI, Haroon sings a song to
encourage his friends and the local people to follow him
without fear.

This song is based on a Farsi composition called "Dew haye
mast" sung by Farhad Darya an Afghan singer. Youtube Link:

Https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=8LpK7yGdlek

HAROON

"Sarfaroshi ke tamanna ab hamarey del mey hey
Dekna hey zor ketna bazoye qatel mey hey"
Hamwatan agey baro har zulm sey darna nahee
Eik den martey hey ham, har den hamey marna nahee
Na karengey kam jo hargez hamey karna nahee.

While music is on, three bad guys attack Haroon with their
swords and sticks, but our hero defends himself using his
steel cane as an AIKEDO sword beating the attackers.

Haroon resumes his song.

Jan dey deyngey es watan kehleyeh
Pool layengey es chaman kehelyeh
Ham hey sathi hey jen ko woh dayem
Kam kartey rahey aman kehleyeh
Eik roh eik sans jeysa ham
Life deydengey har badan keyleyeh

Haroon opens his way to the podium. Hearing the voice of
Haroon, Nazaneen, comes out and joins him. Putting her hands
on Haroon's she starts singing with him expressing her love.

NAZANEEN

To akeyla nahee merey sathi
Ham bee aahey es anjuman kehleyeh
Kab tak eik dosrey se bagengey,
eisey jagengey, eisey jangengey
Aaney waley nasal ko ham eisa,

Hamsafar dangerous hey yeh wadi
U's taraf reh gaya hey abadi
Kohl do yeh rasee ghulami ka
Per Chaloun soy-e- jashn-e- azadi
Kab tak eik dosrey sey bagengey, eisey jagengey
Aaney waley nasal ko ham eisa, keya seka dengey

HAROON

"Sarfaroshi ke tamanna ab hamarey del mey hey
Dekna hey zor ketna bazoye qatel mey hey"
Hamsafar agey baro har zulm sey darna nahee
Eik den martey hey ham, har den hamey marna nahee
Na karengey kam jo hargez hamey karna nahee

NAZANEEN

Deysh hamara khod eik jannat hey
Del mey esko bohat mohabbat hey
Ham salamat rahengey dunya mey
Jab tak es deysh bee salamat hey
Deysh ka peyar khod ebadat hey
Ketney oonchey hamarey chahat hey
Mulk mey aman a'm otahey
Kohney kohney mey jab adalat hey
Kab tak eik dosrey se bagengey, eisey jagengey
Aaney waley nasal ko ham eisa, keya seka dengey

HAROON

"Sarfaroshi ke tamanna ab hamarey del mey hey
Deykna hey zor ketna bazoye qatel mey hey"
Hamwatan agey baro har zulm sey darna nahee
Eik den martey hey ham, har den hamey marna nahee
Na karengey kam jo hargez hamey karna nahee

Gar cheh yeh kam hey bohat mushkel
Har samandar mey hey kohey sahil
Samney wo hamarey manzel hey
Ham sabhee qatelon ke qatel hey
Kab tak eik dosrey sey bagengey, eisey jagengey
Aaney waley nasal ko ham eisa, keya seka dengey

MOST FRIENDS OF HAROON
(singing in chorus)

"Sarfaroshi ke tamanna ab hamarey del mey hey
Deykna hey zor ketna bazoye qatel mey hey"
Hamsafar agey baro har zulm sey darna nahee
Eik den martey hey ham, har den hamey marna nahee
Na karengey kam jo hargez hamey karna nahee.

Hearing Haroon and Nazaneen's voice and seeing their courage,
some people in the community who had closed the doors of
their houses and businesses, get out.

As soon as Haroon and Nazaneen finish their song, the bad
guys launch a major attack, but with help from the people in
the community, Haroon and his friends resist.

CUT TO:

INT. A ROOM IN YOUSUF KHAN'S HOUSE - DAY

Ranjeet and his wife, Champa, 28, with their 12 years old
son are sitting in a room together. Champa stands up and
goes towards the window. Pulling the curtain to the side,
she sees Haroon and Nazaneen with many people from the
community are fighting with the bad guys.

CHAMPA
(turning her face
towards her husband)
Bahar sab logue gundey ke khelaf
jang key maidan mey apney jan qurban
kar rahey hey. Woh Nazanee larkee
okar bee onkey sa't hey. A'p keysa

RANJEET
Mujhee Khan bai ne kaha ke bahr

CHAMPA
Agar yeh badmash loug es lalahey mey

RANJEET
(kissing his wife)
Mujhe tum par naz hey ke deysh or
sachahee ke khater, apnee suhag ko
khatrey mey dal-rahee hey.

Ranjeet gets out and like a lion jumps into the middle of
the throng hitting the bad guys with a hockey stick in hand.

Yousuf Khan is busy targeting Kaleya's men who try to use
guns in the fight. Finding their guns and pistols
ineffective, the outlaws are now very demoralized and no
longer dare to attack. Some of them even escape to save
their lives upon hearing the sirens of police cars after
Sahil Khan and his men arrive at the scene.

Haroon climbs the stage and giving a couple of slaps on
Kaleya's face, he throws him down from the podium where Osman,
Kabir, Salim Khan and hundreds of people from the community
are waiting to punish him.

Osman punches Kaleya. Some people from the community whose
businesses have been damaged by the bad guys come and trample
Kaleya, but Sahil Khan comes and saves him.

SAHIL KHAN
(firing a bullet in
the air)
A'p essey chor deejey. Yeh sabsey
pehley, qanoon ka mujrim hey. Per
a'p logo ka.

Sahil Khan, handcuffs Kaleya. Other policemen also capture
some of the remaining bad guys. Men and women who have come
out of their houses, celebrate the victory along with Haroon
and his friends including the doctors and guests who had
come to participate in the opening of the CLINIC.

INT. POLICE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE - DAY

Inspector Pahndey and Sahil Khan are standing in front of
the Police Commissioner who is sitting with a couple of other
high ranking officers.

POLICE COMMISSIONER
(seeming very angry
with Inspector Pahndey)
Inspector Pandey! Jab tomey phone
aya ke Pant Nagar mey gundey logue
ja kar lafra kar raha hey, to tomney
action keyon nahey leya?

INSPECTOR PANDEY
Sir! Mujhe ACP sahab ney order deya

meyan ta, jo khod gundey or badmash
hey.

POLICE COMMISSIONER
Khair, ACP sahab ko to ba'd mey
deklonga, magar tomey abhee. You
are suspended till further notice.

The Commissioner turns his face towards Sahil Khan and says:

POLICE COMMISSIONER
Mr. Khan!

SAHIL KHAN
(making the required
move and saluting of
an officer before
the Commissioner)
Yes Sir!

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
Take charge and find out who is behind
the attack on the clinic in Pant
Nagar.

SAHIL KHAN
Sir! Meyre pass eskey barey mey
information hey, magar woh akehley
mey a'pko batawonga.

The Police Commissioner orders his officers to leave him and
Sahil Khan alone.

POLICE COMMISSIONER
OK, Mr. Khan! Ab batau keya
information hey tomarey pas?

Sahil Khan takes his Samsung Galaxy Phone out of his pocket,
goes to the videos icon. Turns on the video of Beam Singh's
killing sent by Yousuf Khan to him. Then he moves closer to
the Commissioner and shows him the video.

POLICE COMMISSIONER
Where did you get this?

SAHIL KHAN
Eik informant mujeh beija hey. Sir!
Es qattel ke chashm-deed gawah bee
moujood hey. Magar felhal, mujhee
eik search warant ke zaroorat hey,
woh bee Jagatpal key gar ko talashi
leyneh kehleyeh.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
(Smiling towards Sahil
Khan)
Well done Mr. Khan. Mey tomharey
promotion ka sefaresh zaroor karonga.
And because you have a reasonable
ground, I'll authorize you to take a
couple of good policemen and search
the suspected site right now.

SAHIL KHAN
Thank you sir! Jeyeh Hind.

Sahil Khan gets out of the room leaving the commissioner
alone.

EXT. A TWO WAY STREET - DAY

Two Jeeps and a van full of policemen are going on a street
with sirens on. Sahil Khan is sitting in the front seat of
one of the jeeps.

The police vehicles stop in front of Jagatpal's palatial
house. Sahil Khan and a couple of constables try to get in.
But they are stopped by Jagatpal's guards. Sahil Khan hits
one of them throwing out of his way. Another man tries to
stop Mr. Khan, but he gets his revolver in his hand.

SAHIL KHAN
(pointing the gun at
the man)
Hat ja merey rastey sey, keyon ke
diesh ke aman ka dushman ko, mey
kabhee nahey chorta, chahey woh mera
bab bee ho.

Frightened by Sahil Khan, the man moves to the side. Mr.
Khan and many policemen get into the house. Entering
Jagatpal's office, Sahhil Khan goes towards the bookshelf.
He takes the same book out of the shelve and presses the
elevator button as shown in Beam Singh's killing video. The
police officer finds his way to the elevator and gets in
with dozens of other policemen.

The bad guys in the underground base are caught by surprise.
They start a fight, but some of them are shot by Sahil Khan
and the police constables. Sahil Khan captures the head of
Jagatpal's guards in the underground base.

Searching the area, Sahil Khan finds hundreds of wooden and
carton made boxes in a storage room in one of the corners of
the base. Khan opens a couple of the boxes randomly and
finds drugs, gold and guns. Taking his Galaxy phone, Sahil
Khan records a video of the illegal goods and guns in the
basement.

SAHIL KHAN
(ordering his men)
Es ghair qanooni mal sey, eik sample
abhee leylo or jalty bahr hou keyon
key es jaga or Police force ke aneytak
safe nahey hey.

The policemen get into action carrying some of the boxes
with them. Sahil Khan and his men get out of the basement
using the same elevator by which they got in.

Sahil Khan calls the Press first and then, the police
commissioner by his cell phone. He asks the commissioner to
send more men and vehicles so that the drugs, guns and gold
biscuits are ceased and moved to the Police Station with
care and safety.

A TV reporter arrives at the scene shooting the arrival of
other police vans and vehicles that have come with more men.
Police confiscate everything from Jagatpal's basement.

INT. A ROOM IN YOUSUF KHAN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Yousuf Khan, his brother, Karim, Ranjeet and a couple of
other men are sitting round the dinner table. Finishing the
food, Yousuf Khan calls his brother.

YOUSUF KHAN
Sono Karim!

KARIM

YOUSUF KHAN

Karim gets out of the room. Yousuf Khan takes his cell

on his face, he gently throws his phone on the dinner table.

YOUSUF KHAN
Uffoh! Lanat es qesm ka phone par.

Yousuf Khan calls Ranjeet.

YOUSUF KHAN
Ranjeet bai.

RANJEET
Jee Khan sahab.

Ranjeet comes closer to Yousuf Khan and gives his cell phone
to him.

RANJEET
Yeh leejeh bai jan.

YOUSUF KHAN
Eska password?

RANJEET
(seeming a little
worried)
Ran321.

Yousuf khan writes Ran123 on Ranjeet's phone and opens it.
He dials a number and waits. Then acts out as if dialing
the number again and again.

YOUSUF KHAN
(in an angry mood)
Yeh Haroon ko keya hogaya hey? Mera
call ko jawab nahey deya. Chaloun
eik messege beijta houn.

Khan opens the message in-box. He checks the latest messages
sent and soon, finds out Ranjeet's message that was sent to
unknown numbers. Khan reads the message: "They are going to
Salim's Body Shop this afternoon". Khan doesn't waste time and
quickly writes a message to Haroon asking him to send his bank
account information so that he transfers the money coming from
his father's house sale to him. After sending the message,
Khan calls Ranjeet.

YOUSUF KHAN
(putting Ranjeet's cell
phone on the dinner table)
Shukraia Ranjeet bai. Yeh leejey

INT. MR. MALIK'S PRIVATE ROOM IN HIS HOUSE - EVENING

Mr. Malik, the corrupt politician is sitting on a comfortable
couch wearing a short with no shirt and watching the Z News
Channel as if he is waiting to hear a breaking news. A girl
is giving him a light message.

Seeing the word 'BREAKING NEWS' on the TV screen, a self-
content smile appears on Malik's face.

THE NEWCASTER
There was a failed assassination
attempt during the opening ceremony
of a new Body Shop on Mall Rd., Pant
Nagar. According to the police,
Haroon Malotra, a Canadian business
tycoon and his friend Yousuf Khan
were the targets.

Getting very furious, Mr. Malik, having the TV Remote Control
in hand, throws it at the TV screen. As a result, the Remote
Control breaks apart and the girl who is giving him message
goes one step backward from fear.

Malik's cell phone which is put on a coffee table in front
of him, starts ringing. He answers the phone.

MR. MALIK
Kohn?

The voice of a man is clearly heard.

THE VOICE
Malik sahab mey houn Rajeshwar, a'p ka

CUT TO:

INT. MALOTRA'S HOUSE IN RICHMOND HILL, TORONTO - NIGHT

Malotra and his wife Shanti are having dinner in their living
room. The CBC News Channel is on. Suddenly a breaking news
headline appears on the screen of the TV. The newscaster reads:

THE NEWSCASTER

Haroon's picture is shown on the TV screen, and the newscaster

THE NEWSCASTER
According to the reports, Mr. Malotra

INT. A GUARDED ROOM IN YOUSUF KHAN'S HOUSE - DAY

Haroon, Yousuf Khan, his brother Karim, and Ranjeet are
sitting in a room talking about who might have leaked the
information abut their going to the Body Shop opening.

YOUSUF KHAN

HAROON
(trying to say something
but his cell phone starts
ringing and he answers
the call right away seeing
his father's name on the
screen of his iPhone)
Hello Dad! How are you?

Yousuf Khan takes the mobile from Ranjeet, writes 'ran321 in
the password box. Then he goes to the phone's message in-
box and starts searching for the last messages sent, but
cannot find the message sent to the unknown numbers.

YOUSUF KHAN

YOUSUF KHAN
Agar tom cooperate nahey key to ham tomey

Making a pause, Yousuf Khan turns his face to Haroon.

YOUSUF KHAN
Haroon sahab! Do you know those
lines that Juluis Caesar says to his
wife when she forbids him from going
to the Capitol for coronation.

HAROON
"Danger knows full well that Caesar
is more dangerous than he. We're
two lions littered in one day. Cowards
die many times before their deaths.
The valiant never taste of death,

YOUSUF KHAN
(Putting the barrel

YOUSUF KHAN

KARIM KHAN
Acha bahye jan.

CUT TO:

INT. ENGLISH CLASS - AFTERNOON

Haroon is teaching Linguistics. There are 12 students, male
and female in the class. He calls on each student and puts
a thick mark in front of his/her name in the attendance sheet.
When he calls the name, Manjeet, he gets no response.

HAROON
This Manjeet sahab has been absent
for the last three days. Does anyone
know anything about him?

RAWUL
Sir, I can give you some information
about him at the end of the class.

HAROON
That's great. So let's start today's
lesson.

Haroon cleans the white board with an eraser in his hand.

HAROON
In today's Linguistics class, we are gonna
learn about phonemes and allophones in the
English Language. Phonemes are the smallest
meaning bearing units of sound an any language,
like [t] [d] [g] [m] [p] etc. But, allophones
are the variations of phonemes in a particular
word. Let's examine the three allophones of
the phoneme [p] when they occur in initial,
medial and final positions in the words
'prepare' and 'stop'.

Haroon shows the symbol of allophone with a raised diacritic
mark (h) on the board.

HAROON
Now in the word 'prepare' the phoneme
[p] has two allophones, an aspirated
allophone in the initial position,
and another, unaspirated allophone
in the medial position.

One of the students interrupts Haroon.

THE STUDENT
What do you mean by aspirated and
unaspirated sir?

HAROON
Good question. Aspiration is a puff of air
that gets out of our mouth when we pronounce
any phoneme in the initial and mid position
of a word. E.g., in the word 'pot' the [p]
is aspirated and when you take your finger
in front of your mouth while you pronounce
'pot' you feel a puff of air coming out.
In the same way, when you say 'prepare' the
first [p] has an aspirated allophone in the
onset and an unaspirated allophone in the
medial position. However, in the word 'stop',
the phoneme [p] at the final position is
called un-released, meaning that it's neither
aspirated, nor unaspirated and if you say
'stop' and take your finger close to your
lips, you don't feel any puff of air coming
out.

Haroon shows the aspiration symbol by drawing a raised 'h'
on the right corner of the phoneme [p] on the board.

HAROON
Any questions?

The students are silent taking note.

HAROON
That's all for today. Study at home
and bring your questions for the
next class. See you tomorrow.

Rawul comes to Haroon and gives him a piece of paper on which
he has written something about Manjeet, his friend. Haroon
opens the folded paper and reads the note: "Sir, Manjeet is
addicted to gambling nowadays. Whatever he gets from his
parents, he gambles and drinks in the club called "The Rose"
located at the end of Mall Rd."

HAROON
(tapping at the Rawul's
shoulder)
Thank you so much Rawul. I'll take
care of this.

CUT TO:

INT. ROSE CLUB - AFTERNOON

Wearing his bulletproof vest and helmet and disguising himself
as an old man with a big chapeau on head and a strong steel
cane in hand, Haroon enters the club to find Manjeet.

There are many men and women, young, middle age and old.
Some are sitting around tables gambling with cards. Haroon
finds Manjeet around a table playing with four other men,
two of them having girls on their sides wearing Indian Saries
with shirts that display some parts of their breasts.

Music is on and a somewhat pretty girl is dancing with half-
naked red dress. Haroon goes directly to Manjeet's table.
It seems that Manjeet has won the last round. He is
distributing the cards and has got a lot of money in front
of him.

Haroon stands behind Manjeet and waits for a few moments.
One man flings, the second, doubles and the 'chal' is now
Rs.1000.00. The man whose turn is to put money, drops his
card on the table. Manjeet reads his cards and finds out
that he has got 'two eikey' and one 'badshah'. He puts a
Rs.1000 note on the pile of money in the middle of the table.

MANJETT
Yeh mera chaal.

Another man wearing a black suit reads his cards and throws
Rs.1000 on the table saying:

THE MAN IN BLACK
Or yeh mera.

The third man who has doubled, reads his cards and finds out
that he has 'two eikey' and a 'begum'. He pulls the hand of
his girlfriend besides him saying:

THE THIRD MAN
Hey my queen! Come on give me a kiss
for this might be your lucky day.

He kisses his girlfriend from the cheeks and throws Rs.5000.00
on the table.

THE THIRD MAN
Yeh hey mera chal, Rs.5000.

MANJETT
(looking at his cards
again adds Rs.5000)
Mera be yeh 5000.

The man with the black suit declines to put more money. He
throws his cards having two 'ghualm' and a 'diamond 9' on
the table saying:

THE MAN IN BLACK
Es cards ke saht, Rs.5000 jana
akalmandi nahey hey.

Now Manjeet and the rich man who is playing in the name of his
girlfriend have remained. He and Manjeet exchange Rs.5000 a couple
of times and there is a heap of money on the table. Finally, the
man puts his last Rs.5000.00 on the table saying to Manjeet:

THE THIRD MAN
Chalo show karna.

Manjeet shows his cards, two eikeys and a badsha. Collecting
the money from the table, Manjeet says:

MANJETT
Eysa lakta hey ke bakht ka badsha,
a'j es club mey apney ha't merey sar
par rakkah hey.

HAROON
(taking his hand on
top of Manjeet's
head)
Mera ha't jo tomharey sar par hey.

Manjeet who is drowned in his fancy world of gambling suddenly
feels that this voice is familiar to him. He takes a look
at his back and finds Haroon.

MANJETT
Sir, a'p edar?

HAROON
Come on, let's go, this should be
your final day here.

Manjeet gets up to go with Haroon, but one of the men who
has lost insists to play more.

THE MAN
A'p eysey nahey ja sakteh.

MANJETT
Keyon, a'p kohn hey hamey rokneywaley?

TH MAN
(giving a slap on
Manjeet's face)
Mey houn tomhara Bab.

Manjeet attacks hitting with his head on the stomach of the
man. The fight goes on. Haroon tries to separate them, but
the man attacks him too. Haroon defends twisting the man's
hand and pushing him away. The man falls on the ground.
Getting up the man calls his friends:

THE MAN
Rocky, Emran, Suneel! Come on.

Two men dancing with their girlfriends and another drinking
at the bar counter, leave their romance and come to help
their rich friend. The man tries to punch Haroon saying:

THE MAN
Tomey nahey maloom tooney keskey
saht panga leyahey.

Haroon moves to the side. One man takes on Manjeet and the
other two start fighting with Haroon who has taken a defensive
position. Haroon finds Manjeet too weak to fight his rival,
so he jumps in the middle to help his student. Striking
Manjeet's rival with a side kick, Haroon throws him a couple
of meters away.

HAROON
(to the men who are
coming closer and
closer to hit him)
Dekey bai sahab, mey to solah karney
walata. Magar woh a'p ka dost khod
ney lafra shuro kardeya.

Haroon finds himself, encircled by the men.

HAROON
Hey guys, I suggest we stop fighting
and solve the problem peacefully.

But nobody listens to Haroon. One of the bad guys takes a
wooden table from the club and breaks it on Haroon's head.
Having the helmet, Haroon doesn't get hurt. The table breaks
apart and showers our hero with pieces of wood.

Haroon uses his steel cane as an AIKIDO sword hitting the
bad guys. Now Haroon has the upper hand. A couple of tables,
chairs, bottles plates and glasses of the hotel break. There
is a lull in the fighting. The bad guys being hurt by
Haroon's strikes now cannot fight very well. The manager of
the club comes and pushes Haroon by the shoulder.

THE MANAGER
Hary bai, tom kohn ho, keya ho, or
keya bala ho jo a'j amara business
kharab kardeya.

HAROON
Eik minute, mey abhee bata hounga
keh mey kohn houn, keya houn, or
keya bala houn?

Haroon goes to the stage of the club and takes a guitar from
one of the guitarists who was playing before the fight.
Haroon plays the guitar and sings.

HAROON

Meh keya houn, mey kohn houn? Mey tan houn, keh jan houn?
Yeh kohi najaney, keh mey keya bala houn.

While Haroon sings, dances and plays the guitar, other
musicians also follow suit. Sometimes during Haroon's
performance, one or two bad guys come back to fight. But
Haroon both fights and sings taking care of everything. The
remaining club customers who were about to vacate the place,
go back to their seats. New people start coming and the
manager and the staff work to reorganize the place. Everyone
likes Haroon's dancing, singing and fighting.

Agar kohi poochey keh mey houn kahan sey
Bata houn keh mey a'gaya Canada sey
Agar cheh, mey Kabul mey paida howa houn
Mgar mera khoon hey, es Hindo-setan sey

Meh keya houn, mey kohn houn? Mey tan houn, keh jan houn?
Yeh kohey najaney keh mey keya bala houn

Kahey den mey apney shahr sey juda houn
Kahey raht-o- mey apney gar sey juda houn Meh houn shame
ta'reek, sahar sey juda houn
Qena'at keh sahil mey jabtak rahounga
Hamisha mey mouj-o- khatar sey juda houn

Meh keya houn, mey kohn houn? Mey tan houn, keh jan houn?
Yeh kohey najaney keh mey keya bala houn

Jo pahtar ko torta hey, sheeshey sey yaroun
Bahot teez houn apney peshey sey yaroun
Mey baga howa houn kahee den sey gahr sey
Mohabat hawa hey mujhey es safar sey
Mey kya jano yaroun, qaza-o- qadar sey
Key shayad meloun mey, kesey hamsafar sey

Meh keya houn, mey kohn houn? Mey tan houn, keh jan houn?
Yeh kohey najaney keh mey keya bala houn.

Haroon finishes his song and wants to leave, but the club
manager comes to speak with him.

THE MANAGER
Well done young man, well done.
Keya gahtey hey a'p, keya guitar
bajatey hey a'p! Wah bai sahab wah.
A'p ke ta'reef?

HAROON
Nam hey Haroon. Gana mera shouq
hey, business or gahreeboun ko madad
karna mera pesha. Baqi kamal to a'p
khod deik chokey hey manager sahab.

THE MANAGER
Acha to Haroon sahab, mey houn Afzal
Khan, es club ka malik and manager. Es
achey ganey keh khater mey a'p sey kohey

HAROON

THE MANAGER
A'p kabhi kabhi akar amarey club mey

HAROON
Mey sharab or juwa khaney me kam nahey
karonga. Keyon ke yeh juwa or sharab
dono societies ko kharab karta hey.
Abhi abhi jo es club ka noqsan howa to
sab juwa kehlney ka nateeja ta.

Making a pause, Haroon points to a man who has got very drank
and left his wife alone around a table with his friends.
And he himself dances with another woman.

HAROON
Juwa ka borahi to a'p ney deka. Ab
sharab ke burey mey baht karengey.

THE MANAGER
Acha. Shortcut mey batadeejey.

HAROON
(Pointing to a drunk man
in the corner of the club)
Woh dekey manager sahab. Woh adami
sharab pee kar abney bebee ko chora
hey, or khod kesey or aurat ke saht
nachne ka acting kar raha hey. By
the way, a'p mosulman hokar bee sharab

gaya hey keh sharab or juwa duno shaitan

HAROON
That's right.

HAROON
The Qura'n says that "there is a
gross sin and some benefits for the
people in the intoxicants and
gambling. But their sinfulness far
outweighs their benefits".

TE MANAGER
It's good that you reminded me sir.
A'j ke ba'd, mey es Rose club ka nam
change kar key "Rose Restaurant"
banadonga or esmey serf kahna or
music ogee.

HAROON
In that case, I'll sing in your
restaurant on Saturday nights. You
can make the arrangements.

THE MANAGER
Thank you very much sir.

HAROON
See you then at 05:00 P.M. on Saturday
night. Khuda Hafiz.

Haroon signals towards Majneet to leave the club.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, MUMBAI - DAY

Haroon is standing in front of the information desk of a
Toyota Dealership. When his turn comes, he approaches the
receptions who is a pretty woman at her 30s.

HAROON
(Giving an A4 page to
the receptionist)
Good morning. I'm Haroon Malotra.
My father, Madan Malotra has ordered
a special Toyota Land Cruiser for me
from Japan. According to the document
I gave you, the vehicle must have
arrived here by now.

THE RECEPTIONIST
O' yes Mr. Haroon. Your bulletproof
car has arrived here. It's been
thoroughly checked. So you can take
it now. But let me inform my manager.

The receptionist calls her manager via the Inter-come.

THE RECEPTIONIST
Sir, Mr. Haroon Malotra is here to
pick up his Land Cruiser.

THE MANAGER (O.S.)
Great! I'm coming right away.

Moments later, a well dressed senior man appears with a couple
of keys and a file in hand. He greets Haroon saying:

THE MANAGER
Good morning Mr. Haroon. I'm so glad
to see you here. Your car is parked
outside. Please come with me.

The manager walks towards the exit door of the showroom with
Haroon following him. Out in a parking area, the manager
stops besides a luxury Land Cruiser.

THE MANAGER
(giving three keys
and a paper file to
Haroon)
Mr. Haroon! Here are your keys and
there is the ownership paper in the
file. We've taken care of the Licence
Plate as per your father's request.
So, enjoy the ride.

HAROON
(taking the keys and
the file from the
manager)
Thank you so much sir. Have a great day.

THE MANAGER
You too sir.

Haroon gets in the Land Cruiser and turns the engine on. He
takes his cell phone and sends a text message to Soorach
informing him of his going to Bombay Hospital's Mental Health
Ward where Dr. Nazaneen works. Haroon asks Soorach to come
as soon as possible for he has to help him in some acting.

INT. BOMBAY HOSPITAL, MENTAL HEALTH WARD - DAY

Haroon is sitting on a wheelchair acting out the role of a
mentally retarded patient in front of the reception desk of
Mental Health Ward of the hospital.

SOORACH
(talking to a man in
the information desk)
Sir! This is my friend and due to
some kind of shock, he can't react
to anything. He talks to himself
most of the time and doesn't make
any eye contact with others. I want
you to admit him assigning Dr.
Nazaneen for his treatment.

THE MAN IN THE INFORMATION DESK
(with wide grin)
OK Sir.

SOORACH
A'p paisey ka kohey chenta matkeejeh.
I'll deposit Rs.50000 in advance.

INT. A BIG ROOM, MENTAL HEALTH WARD - DAY

Haroon is still acting out as a mentally retarded person among
many other lunatics. Outside the room, it's a beautiful sunny
morning with mild weather of December in Bombay. As soon as
Nazaneen arrives at the hospital, she calls Asha, her assistant.

NAZANEEN
Asha! O Asha!

ASHA (O.S.)
Yes madame.

NAZANEEN
It's a nice day. So get your staff and
take the patients outside in the open
air. I'll be there in a couple of
minutes. Meney sona hey ke eik naya
patient kal raht admit ogaya hey. I
want to examine him in the garden.

ASHA
OK madame.

EXT. A BIG GARDEN FULL OF FLOWERS - MORNING

There are five to six mentally retarded patients on wheel chairs
in the garden. Asha is standing in front of Haroon who is gazing
at something far away making no eye contact with her.

ASHA
(calling one of her
colleagues by the
name of Shietal)
Sheital! O Sheital

SHEITAL
(from a couple of
meters away)
Keya hey?

ASHA
Edar a'u or es patient ko deyko. Ketna

SHEITAL
A'pkee har patient ka keyoun etna gham

Mey apney kam or patient dono ko deyan

keh khater, pagal hochoka hey.

Sheital wants to say something, but Nazaneen who has arrived
at the garden interrupts her. Hearing Nazaneen's voice Haroon
lowers his head down on his chest.

NAZANEEN
Keya hey? A'p dono kes ke barey mey
baht kar rahey tey?

ASHA
Es naya patient ke barey mey. A'p
khod zara nazdeek sey deyk leejey.

Nazaneen comes closer to take a look at the new patient.
She puts her right hand under Haroon's chin and slowly lifts
his head. Seeing Haroon, comes like a shock to Nazaneen.

NAZANEEN
Tom yaha!

HAROON
Jee ah, mey yaha. Jaha jahengey,
hamey payengey.

ASHA
Hary yeh patient to madame ke saht

NAZANEEN
Merey ha't mey jadoo madoo nahey

HAROON
Mey to pagal houn, woh bee a'p ke peyar

NAZANEEN

HAROON

NAZANEEN
Tom jeysey pagaloun ke sa't kohey

Haroon gets up from the wheel chair and starts to sing:

Terey baghair eiy Nazaneen, jeena mera dushwar hey
Es hospital mey dekloun, ham bee terey beemar hey
Del mey terey iqrar hey, hotoun pey keyoun inkar hey

Haroon dances playing the guitar and a couple of nurses and
hospital staff join him.

A'u mera saht deydo, dosti ka ha't deydo, dosti ka ha't deydo.
Mere chahat ke chaman mey, eik pal barsa't deydo.

Terey baghair eiy Nazaneen, jeena mera dushwar hey

The poet of the above part of the poem must be contacted and
the copyright issue must be solved.

Tom sey baghair ey Nazaneen, jeena mera dushwar hey

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Mr. Malik, the corrupt politician is sleeping with a girl on
his bed. It's the beginning of the night when his cell phone
rings. Keeping the girl in his embrace with one hand, he tries
to reach the phone that is under the night stand with another.

MALIK
(Seeing Jagatpal's
name on the screen
of his cell phone)
Ufoh! Yeh Jagatpal sahab bee hamisha

There are many guests from politicians, businessmen,
celebrities and government officials in Jagatpal's party.
Haroon arrives on time at the top of the hour as mentioned
in the invitation card, 06:00 P.M to 09:00 P.M. As Haroon
enters the hall, Jagatpal who is talking with Malik and a
couple of high ranking government officials and business
tycoons in a circle excuses himself for a minute.

JAGATPAL
(to his guest)
Excuse me gentlemen, I'll be back in
a minute.

Jagatpal goes towards the entrance door of the hall where
Haroon has just entered. He greets Haroon giving him a warm
welcome.

JAGATPAL

Jagatpal introduces Haroon to other guests, businessmen,
high ranking politicians and M.Ps.

JAGATPAL
(to Haroon and pointing
to a man wearing
simple Indian clothes
with a white hat)
Haroon Sahab, ensey meleyeh. Yeh
hey Dr. Vejeh Sihna, Minister of
Transportation, who is on a tour of
Bombay. Yeh hey Mr. Mohan Shrivastav
an MP from the Congress Party. Or
yeh hey Mr. Malik, my business partner
and another MP from Bombay.

Haroon greets each one with Namasty and nice meeting you.

JAGATPAL

And this is Mr. Haroon Malotra, Afghan
Indo-Canadian businessman, social
worker, singer and songwriter. Enko

Jagatpal interrupts Mr. Malik.

JAGATPAL
Mr. Malik! Kahna tayyar hey, baqi
batey dinner ke saht karengey.

Some guests are getting their own food from the open buffet,
but a couple of tables have been reserved for VVIPs. Jagatpal
leads Haroon along with other high ranking guests to an
exclusive dinner table on which different kinds of dishes,
desserts and fruits such as apples, grapes, banana, oranges,
and peaches are set in a very professional manner. Waiters
and young waitresses serve the food to the guest. Finishing
dinner, Haroon puts some grapes and an orange on his plate
and eats them. A few moments later, Jagatpal offers Haroon
a cup of wine.

JAGATPAL
Yeh leijey Haroon Sahab, mey ney a'p
kehleyeh tora sey sharab laya.

HAROON
Shukria Jagatpal sahab. Mey sharab

JAGATPAL
(To Mr. Malik)

kardeya, kohey khas waja? Aakher yeh
sharab bee yahey angoor sey a'ta hey.

MALIK
(taking side with
Jagatpal)
A'p ney teeg kaha Jagatpal Sahab,
Farsi shaheri mey sharab ka eik or
nam hey 'dukhtar-e- raz' meaning the
daughter of vine. Omar Kheyam has
used this term in his four-line verses
saying " Then I'll get married to
the daughter of vine".

HAROON
People sleep with their wives, but
they don't sleep with their daughters.
In the same way, I don't drink the
daughter of vine because when it
goes through chemical reactions, it
no longer remains the same grapes.

JAGATPAL
Good analogy.

HAROON
Jee han Jagatpal sahab. Mera kheyal
yeh hey ke sab sey bara nesha
tandurasti mey hey. Yeh a'p ka
"daughter of vine" to tandurusti or
sehat ka dushman hey.

JAGATPAL
Acha to Haroon sahab. A'p businessman
bee hey or social worker bee. These
two professions are like the lines
of a railway track. They never meet.
Therefore, I propose you join us and
invest in our projects that produce
millions overnight. A'p keyoun a'pney
qeemati waqt or paisa in chotey motey
projects ko barbad kar raha hey?

HAROON
Jagatpal sahab! I work to bolster the
economy of the poor and the middle class.
You and your partners work to wipe out
the middle class people making the rich,
richer and the poor, poorer. Yeh mera
usool ka khelaf hey. Merey hesab sey,
business or socialwork donou shana ba
shana chal kar mulk or janta ka economy
mazboot karta hey. Essey leyeh mey kehta
houn keh hamara kam karney ka tareeqa dou
parallel lines ke tara kabhee intersect
nahey karega.

Haroon takes a look at his watch. Then, gets up from the
chair.

HAROON
(looking at Jagatpal)
Jagatpal sahab, ab mey chalta houn.
Thank you for the delicious dinner
and have a great night.

Haroon walks towards the exit door and goes to the parking
of Jagatpal's farmhouse where Karim Khan and Osman are waiting
for him in the car. Karim Khan starts the land cruiser and
exits from Jagatpal's farmhouse.

INT. BACK SEAT OF HAROON'S LAND CRUISER - NIGHT

Haroon takes his cell phone and starts searching a number.
He finds the number and presses the make a call button. The
phone keeps on ringing. And before long, a man's voice is
heard.

NAZANEEN

Nazaneen walks through the exit door. Haroon takes an
invitation card from the drawer of his desk and follows her
quickly.

HAROON
