Beloved
Yes, I am coming.
Have you read chapter 18 to 21 yet?
How, How nice.
Liar, mealy-mouthed

I will talk to you after exams, ok?
Yeah okay. bye
Ok, Meena
Last exam
You can do this
Then you will be free
-Chotu -Yes, ma'm

- Tell him to come to breakfast table - Ok, Ma'm
Zul Janay
Tea
Behram, give this newspaper to Khan Lala
And tell him to come for breakfast
Khan Lala
Hey Bahrama
...&pashto&... -I am very happy today. Look
My nephew is coming.
Fox news has spoiled your brain
Eh!
Hey brother Ajmal
Meena's study is complete. What's her motives now.
Motives? &pashto&
&pashto&
I am tired of asking her.
First study then 2-3 years job.
And then marriage. And even on that she
will think. Exactly like our...
Gulu. She is on solo flight.
What's wrong in this.
&pashto&
My point is
that marriage shouldn't be only motive
She is an independent ambitious girl
Are you not proud of that?
Khan Lala, she is on solo flight.
Why you always tease her. Listen Gul Sangha
The dress you selected for her. Did you courier it?
-Yes, I sent her - She has even received that and infact she loves it.
&pashto&
- Hello - Hello, can we leave?
-Yeah, let me change -Yes, take your time but dont take too long
He is a super kid.
Hello Miss.
Probably Mr. Ajmal Khan has sent you. Take this luggage. And listen, ask for reasonable amount.
Otherwise leave luggage here, I will do other arrangement. -Meena
- Hello father - Hello, how are you?
- Oh my god. You dont know how I changed clothes on airport. -ok
- Take her.... -Oh hello
-Why are you looking at my face. Let's go. Where is car? -This way
You Asfand Yar....
You know how ill mannered he was. Before going to
Canada the family potrait he destroyed.
- He fought with Daniyal as usual. -But Meena
now Asfand Yar is changed.
One second (x2). My friend was saying the truth.
Why I am thinking I am scapegoat by coming here.
That Meena dear, marry as you are in Swat (City).
On one side Daniyal. Showoff of Islamabad. Give me the money (x2)
And on other end, Asfand Yar.
Take this. Fat, ill mannered, blunt.
- Why you did this? - Meena
Asfand Yar
The son of your Uncle Agha Jan
You were that fat
Oh my lord
Can we go?
Asfand Yar listen.
Sorry for before
Actually, you were really fat. So, I couldn't recognize
Its ok
Look there.
Hey Daniyal, you got a lottery ticket.
- Asfand Yar? -Yes!
-What are you looking at? -Nothing, I was just overtaking
Meena
-Hi -You didn't accept my friend request
Nevermind, probably you forgot
- Anyway, lets meet at home -ok
Asfand Yar
That...
Hello
- How are you?-Good
Oh God, what have you done to yourself?
I can see your bones. It looks like
a dress is hanged on hanger
I am on diet.
Kick this diet -Come, meet your aunt.
Remember Shahnzay?
- Hello - Hello
- How are you my little girl? -Beezo
- Hello Beezo aunty -What?
She is kidding
How have you been? You are looking pretty
- Palwasha is here - I am glad you are finally here. How skinny you are
- Met everyone?
No, no. she still has to meet Asad Lal and Ana
Hello Agha Jan
Hello (Peace be unto you too)
Little girl. Welcome
Welcome, welcome
-Hello Uncle Murad
- How are you? - Good
Dont you want to meet your grand mother?
- Hey -Hello(Peace be unto you too)
- Hello! Welcome, welcome! Live long and prosper. How are you? Good? -Yes
You're glowing
May you be protected against any eye evil.
Go, bring me some harmal seeds so I can ward off all evil eyes.
Atleast dont record this
- This is exactly what I should be recording Silence
May you always prosper, my child
May you settle in a good house.
- May it be God's will that you produce at least 8-10 children -Mom, What are you saying?
Shut up, boy! My child has such beautiful lustrous hair
Grandmother, dont praise her so much
otherwise your evil eye can befall on her.
You think she needs to be protected from me? Get you from here
Fetch me my scissors
No, no dear. grandmother is asking for scissor to shed her evil eye.
Wait
Oh, I see. I thought she was going to chop off her hair.
My lovely child
Listen, put it there. Thank You
You told him so much and Lala(brother) couldn't say anything?
It was so embarrassing. And then dad didn't
help me a little. And then Shireen Gul scolding
And this grandmother's evil eye shedding business. I didn't get anything.
Just wait and watch what happens next
Palwasha
When will you bring my iphone?
I will bring it after school tomorrow.
You still study in school?
I teach
I am still ill mannered but not dumb
Anyway, leave him. Tell me about yourself.
- how many White man did you trap? Not one
Dont be so formal
What are you doing here, boy?
What are you doing here?
You tell, what are you doing?
Nothing, I was just wandering around.
Bring back old memories
Touching picture
Very touching. Let's
Let me bring all your memories back
No, no. I am good
Get lost, man. Stupid poser.
he was eavesdropping himself and now he has audacity to interrogate me?
Hypocrite
Meena
Meena, meena!
Isn't it rude
I am telling you my love story
- And you are snoring. -Sorry, buddy
- Jet lag -Get fresh
Its time for meal
Hey...you...
were telling about Sameer
Settled in UK, was my Assistant professor in university for two semesters.
And you trapped him instantly
You know how we "Pukhtoon" (race) are amorist(love-like)
Oh my god
Daniyal brother
- Yeah? -Everyone is waiting you on table.
Ok
- I am coming -Ok brother
Miss Meena
You will not get away today
And tomorrow
your Canadian friends
Lala(brother) what are you saying? I dont understand -Still standing here
I said I am coming. Get out
&pashto&
Means he is not "Pukhtoon" (race). Wasn't that scandalous for the family?
Just like that
You missed whole drama
The entire house went through the traditional give stages of grief
You know the five stages of grief right?
So, you want to marry him?
Yes
No, no...you are kidding
-No -Yes, you are
- Nooo -Yes
-Noooo -Yes!
Nooooo!
Go drown in a handful of water. What have you done? What will people think?
We've lost face with everyone. You've disgraced her
This is all because of her. Isn't it?
She never married herself. because her head was in clouds
now you want to be like her? For the love of God dont follow in her footsteps
Mother, cool down, cool down. Relax
I swear I want to break your legs right now.
You louse! You bedbug
You midget! you dwarf! You three footed imp!
You like that demon monkey?
If I see that lover of yours again. I will bury him alive
Where is Sameer?
You...come here. I'll give you a happy ending you wont forget.
This is Dilbar, Daulat, Dilnawaz, Dilbahar, Dildaar
This is Dilshaad
I haven't even started on all 'Guls' yet.
Oh my lord, set my daughter on straight path.
I will sacrifice two champion goats---
THREE Yes, three
Son, where are you from?
Aunty, from Punjab.
Dont take tension of them
What calamity has happened on us!
Congrats, my child.
- Sameer -Yes?
- Here, take your money - oh! engagement gift? Thank you.
Dont thank me. its not an engagement gift. Use this money to buy 'Zubaida Apa" whitening soap
and massage your face with it
Really get in there, all right? That way you might pass off as a fair pathan
okay
I'm amazed they accepted the proposal!
Thank god. Shireen Gul took my side. She is a bit liberal one in family.
And then there's this face.
Who can say no to a face like this, eh?
-You are such a drama queen -Come on, dinner must be served now.
Let's go
- Agha Jan didn't say anything? -No, no. he agreed
Shireen Gul
If you were feeling that hot, you should've dropped this too.
You even put this shirt as a formality.
- Yes? No, actually....I
what "yes, no" come on, meal is ready
- What you two are chit chatting here? -Hi, Meena
Actually.
What are you doing?
Lala(brother)
- Palwasha and Meena sisters just gone out. I see.
Daniyal Lala(brother) also came showing off.
But his all showing was bitter..
- Meena sister didn't impress a little -Go now
- Why do I care?
If you didn't care why you sent me to get report?
&pashto&
You silly.
Hi, Meena. We haven't had a chance of proper introduction.
- Your shirt is burning -Yes?
Your shirt is burning
....Wow...what an impression.... -Shut up.
Shireen Gul
Why are candles lit?
3...2....1
Oh my god

With hope candles are lit
Backup Generator will start soon.

He is taking bubble bath for half an hour
You go and switch on motor.
Good you are here

Leave Daniyal, he will come
- Come with me - Atleast, let me change

- That's not good - I think this one looks good
See this flood of colors
Tell me which one will look good.
Choose anyone
I think blue looks better
- Yes? - Today, you are eating this, you will be fit in wedding dress.
Palwasha, explain to your brother
If he doesn't select Kurta(shirt) color.
Then he will dance shirtless on Mehndi(wedding event)
No, you can choose Maroon one from my end.

Hello
My name is Ikram-ullah Khan and I am a teacher here.
And your uncle's old friend
Now you are being modest
You know Meena, this was Ikram-ullah sir old guest house.
which he donated to Asfand Yar school.
Can we talk outside?
- Sure - This way
- Ok kids, do you work -Yes, sir
You are discussed a lot in home.
How is Mr.Ajmal?
I will come in one-two days to meet him
Gladly. You should come.
Asfand Yar
Come here
- Can we talk for two minutes? - Sure
Son, yesterday, Asad Khan called me
he was worried about Palwasha's in-laws stay
he was very worried.
Tell him
I have arranged his stay here. There is no need to worry.
There was no need for this
Why
Is Palwasha not my daughter?
Yes
He will not ask
that's why I'm sending message by you. Tell me
If he needs something..
dont hesitate and just call me
- Just dont get worried -Ok, son?
Yes
He is a good son(person).
I cant believe that he is same Asfand Yar
He is very talented, committed..
this school is his initiative
People of same age are trying to flee country.
and he is running a school.
Its really good.
But...
he dont have control on his anger
gets totally crazy sometimes
One day this anger will kill him.
There is something called privacy
Your friends are very hot
seriously?
Oh! this blue dress girls look damn hot.
Come come come...
Lets go outside. Everything is ready
its that Asif Khan's old film
is finally released on DVD
Who is this Asif Khan?
Who is Asif Khan?!
- Who is Asif Khan? -What did I say?
Asif Khan is "rajneekaanth (superhit)" of Pashto films
He is in movies since partition(India-Pakistan)
Shireen Gul's old crush
At ten, she first watched his movie. Since then she has a crush.
You can calculate yourself now...from god's grace. sixty....minus
twenty five!....minus thirty five!
years old he might be now. Its very old...
(actually) deep, very deep relation
Come, come. Let's go outside
Asif Khan, my love. I am coming
Let's go!
Dont watch this type of movies.
- Then you will sit in my room whole night. - I will not
Looks a good movie
Is there suspense?
In the end, Mummy becomes a ghost (spoiler)
-buddy, why Daniyal... -Your welcome
Come now.
Dont like henna?
I was thinking
What
that...its good to be with family
Means Canada is good too..
but the affection here is..
I was regretting the decision to come here

Go away
What now? Its hard to watch a movie with ease

-I am going for an important work. I will be back after that -Promise?
- Yes, promise - I will wait in the evening.
Yes, in the evening
Good bye
- And how are you, good? - Bring it here...
Teaching is a difficult job. children are of all age groups.
What a pretty ring
You didn't tell me that Sameer has a sister
Dude, for the love of God, spare her.
What's her name?
- Imaan -Imaan...
- Just a second -Go ahead
ah! a friend request
Your welcome

Yeah
Imaan
- Yes? -Go and get Palwasha
- Ok - Coming with you
When did you come
- You look very beautiful - Looks like my brother-in-law cant control his emotions.
Quiet
How are you my child? Good?
Why are you standing buddy? Sit down
Would you care for some tea?
Yes
- How much sugar? - One teaspoon
This is the first and last time I'll be serving you...
I know
Palwasha
I know i shouldn't come in between whatever's going on here...
but his father is sitting right there. Serve him tea, too. He's elder,
-Please -Yes, sure.
No, not this one. There's another one right there.
Thank You, child
Young love, brother Asad!
(Pashto)My eyes have surrendered to the paradise found in yours, causing a
- Great uproar that Ghani has descended into the madness of love.(Pashto) -Bravo, bravo
You must not have understood a single word, right?
- Uh...No. - Forget about it.
Ignore this bliss,they say.
Let us go to dentist. Meena, can we leave?
Please excuse us
we have to go to dentist
- Let me come -This way
You were getting bore in elders?
Its like that
If Asfand Yar was here, we would've entertained you with party.
No,no. I wasn't bore
Actually, a little bit
In drawing room, two things should be prohibited
politics and cricket
You dont like cricket?
No
Dont say this in front of Khan Lala
He will eat you alive
How beautifully he played. In 12th over..
all team out
Batting, politics...it has destroyed cricket
Hitler banned only game
I would prohibit them to take breath.
After living abroad for long time...
My son Sameer hasn't forget our eastern customs
Just like my son Daniyal
He is very simple and innocent son by god's grace. (Imaan's expression xD)
By God's willing
Forgive me, my lord
Where are those two angels?
Palwasha was saying that you..
majored in english literature?
Yes
- Shall I like a bathe to a midst summer day
Haha
Actually, my parents wanted me to become a doctor
But I always wanted to be in writing.
Its good
Medical is a good profession too
But literature, its a bit romantic
Teach me a little me romance too
Why?
Do you like someone?
Just like that
Did you check my abs?
- I am not like, - What?
I am not like that boy
Dentist did root canal.
He is on sedative. And the side effects
will be normal after sometime.
Your wife? Actually..
its been two years we married
Dont see his innocent face.
From face, how rude he looks..
he is as soft from heart in reality.
Oh I sacrifice (myself for you)
this helpless has to suffer a lot because of me
And you know
I am very dramatic
And when he tried to purpose me
then I made a lot of demands
Romantic movies, atmosphere
Vary lights, fireworks
Did you just gave her anesthesia or something else?
Can we go?
Asad Khan..have you given the guests a tour of the city or are they housebound?
That's what I've been saying all along!
Meena has come back home after so long, but Asfand Yar is busy due to school.
When I'm here...
Asfandyar doesn't need to worry about school.
I'll handle everything.
Meena, how does it feel to come back to Swat after long ago?
Yes.
Yes?
- Yes - I mean to say..
it feels great!
More beautiful than Swat.
It's just....I'm not used to eating such a heavy food.
I was constipated first four days.
But..Thank God for laxatives!
Quit stirring water with your spoon! Everyone is watching
How funny word is it?
And this, fork..
I just forked you, hahahaha!
- What have you been feeding her? -No, no
Everyone takes such good care of me
Except for this nincompoop-y!
Meena! language please
I said that out of love!
- I'm not insulting him! -Asfandyar
What's wrong with her?
I think the dentist gave her too many sedatives.
Take me to that doctor. I want what she's on!
Oh Uncle! I have a joke
What did the lonely banana(In Urdu: KAILA) say?
I am AA-KAILA (alone)
Meena, I dont think you're quite in your senses
- Please take her to her room -Come
Forget it.
I'll take her myself.
Long separation (SONG)
Come on
I dont why they brought us here
There is so much preparations left
Stop it. for god sake, shut up
I am sick of listening your chirp of wedding.
I swear to God, your fiance has a lot of tolerance.
Ok Meena, Go and
find Asfandyar and Daniyal
Ok
Asfandyar?
Hi, Meena
Jackass!
Oh, wow! You are always 'on', aren't you?
Tell me more about Canada.
You must be so bored here, right?
There's no comparison with crazy lifestyle abroad.
You have more of a 'white-boy' lifestyle in Islamabad than I have in Canada
How do you know?
Facebook
oh
So, you finally accepted my friend request.
Dont act so cocky, you're on limited profile.
Do check out one album
Its called the 'Daniyal Experience'
'Daniyal Experience'?
Yes
It's mostly workout pictures.
I take my gymmying very seriously
Oh well, atleast you serious about something
If you dont believe, check
No, Thank you
Ok
Honestly, in Canada
you won't find such a ripped body. Guaranteed.
Oh my God
Exactly
Everyone has the same reaction. OH MY GOD!
Wait. I'll show you
I dont know where is he disappeared
Dude
Why are you so rude? turn around
Daniyal
Why do you have tears in your eyes?
For your album. What happened?
You dont look so well
Are you nauseated? Shall I give you Motilium?
He'll be fine in second.
My God
Do you have no shame?
Do your parents know of these vile habits?
Just wait till your uncle hears of this
He'll make mincemeat out of your privates
Meena darling
Looks like I'll have to give you taste of Daniyal Experience
No, no no. We'll invite them on feast only.
We'll not give them too much attention.
Listen Gul Sanga
-Yes? - How will we invite Mrs. Bakhtiyar and her family?
Remember, they asked Palwasha's hand for his son?
Ohhh
Dont invite them
No, its out of question. They shouldn't come. I am saying they will come.
- Long live family politics -I will see how they come
- Why should I ignore? - I know
This is beauty
How beautiful both of them look.
Praise to be God
Why dont you talk to Ajmal brother about Meena and Daniyal?
How should I talk like this
Let them get accustom first
Atleast first we know their views
- I, I .... - Hey, what's going on here?
Did you see all?
Whatever you want, do it soon
before we lost our chance.
By the day, do you like Meena or her (Canadian) Nationality?
You just...
Mr. Ikram-ullah
come, come. (Peace be unto you)
Sir, sir, sir.
You delayed a lot in coming.
I was stuck in some school work. I came here as soon as I got time.
Pash (Nickname: Palwasha)
Pash
At least one snapchat is mandatory.
Where are you Palwasha? Everyone is...
Aren't you dreaming a lot?
What do you mean?
What right do you have?
on Meena
Did you forget?
Who you are
I am telling you..
Get away from Meena and Daniyal,...
From Meena and Daniyal?
You are.
You are in between them
I am telling you clearly
Asfandyar, I will not let you snatch my son's happiness.
I know
you are dreaming a lot since she came.
But dream is dream...
We have to wake up at some point.
Wake up
Lala
What happened Chotu?
- I want to tell you something important. -Go ahead
I went to school to get your documents. And....
Come, come Asfandyar
Leave me alone!
I will not spare you, I will not spare him
- Ikram-ullah sir, atleast listen to us. - He is a kid, he made a mistake.
Have you lost it? You've gone insane.
- What happened to you? - Leave me alone
- What happened? - Leave me alone!
Ikramullah sahib(sir) please hear us out.
One second.
Ikramullah sahib
- this could be misunderstanding...Let us sit down and talk it through. -Asad Khan ENOUGH
Have a strong word with your son.
What he did tonight is not good.
One day your son's anger will be the death of him.
And if his anger doesn't kill him...
then I will
Sit in the car, Khanzada
Move it
What was that?
You dont know what that.....
I'm sorry
Actually, I am not
You're as uncultured, as savage now as you were when we were young.
I had hoped for so much
that you'd matured.
But you haven't changed at all.
The fault is mine (in believing you).
Dont you give a damn about family honor?
How selfish you have become?
- What is happened to you? - Dont say another word
Yes, I'm insolent. yes I am a savage. What difference does that make in your life?
You're right, Asfandyar
It makes no difference
I wont interfere in your matters anymore
You! have a good life.
Asfandyar
Can I ask you about your behavior?
Insolence?
The outrage he created...
he ruined the honor of whole family.
Our relation with Ikramullah is very deep.
How many blessings we have (from him). How much in-debt we are are
- How will we show our face in outside. -Silence
Why should I keep quite?
Who treat an honorable like this? Forgive me God
You were yelling before. What now?
Why are you slient now? Khan Lala asked you something
Answer him
I, father
- I cannot tell you - You will have to tell, Asfandyar
You cannot return me this favor for nurturing you.
Leave it Khan Lala
You cannot expect something from the children of this family.
But he...
What do you want to say?
That...blood relation matters. it doesn't matter how you nurture.
He is not our blood (relation).
Why are you looking at me like this?
I didn't make any controversial statement.
- His behavior, attitude... -Quiet.
Control your tongue.
Ikramullah sahab is powerful and has links.
Before this get more worse..
we should hold a council.
Ad Asfandyar...
has to make an apology, officially.
I will not ask for apology.
Asfandyar
Did you see?
From which face you're asking for your rights, on Meena.
Did you forget?
who you are
Meena and Daniyal
get away from them.
You're as uncultured, as savage now as you were when we were young.
You cannot return me this favor for nurturing you.
I will not interfere in your life anymore.
He is not our blood.
Asfandyar
Yes?
Everything is alright?
Shireen Gul, just
I am coming. You had some task?
No..
Let me handle
You are taking long (inside).
Should I give you 5 more minutes of privacy?
Shut up.
So, uhh..
that happened.
Look..
dont take mom's words to heart.
You know..
that too much botox isn't good for brain.
Look..
I guess what I am trying to say is
You remember how many times you've beaten me up in childhood.
Are you trying to make me feel better?
Let me finish my speech, man.
I can't believe I am saying this..
You've also shown me more love and affection than that(beating)
You know that
what was my favorite time of year?
Summer vacations
When we used to come here
Entertainment, laughs we have had
Quarrels
you running after me with a cricket bat..
You never made me
feel like I dont have friend.
never made me feel like I didn't have a brother.
You are my role model, man
Look at me, speaking nonsense.
But the point is...
you are my brother
Even if someone say or not,I dont care.
Our bond is stronger than blood, brother.
You are my life.
I love you bro.
Whoa, that's a lot of emotion!
Shut up, you swine.
For instagram, bro.
I've just thought of an amazing hashtag.
You'll never change.
What's the catchphrase you constantly say?
Useless scum.
My daughter is worried?
- Your wedding is on upcoming friday. -I am so disappointed dad.
I'm too
- I cant understand why Asfandyar did.... -Asfandyar
did something and why, we'll eventually know.
But I am more disappointed from you.
Yesterday, Wahida aunt said such nonsense.
And you didn't speak anything?
You didn't see how disheart he was
First time, in this home, his adoption was used against him as its his mistake that he is not your real son.
And you, you considered him your real son, your heir.
and by one mistake, you forgot every good deed?
But Palwasha
I didn't say that he is not my son
You didn't have to say anything dad
Your silence was enough
Where is Asfandyar?
Asfandyar
spend most of time in school.
Things are getting worse
Some parents have forbidden their children to go to school
From Ikramullah's fear
teachers are not coming to school
He is
busy with more work
Just thank to God that matter didn't get worse than this.
- and wedding preparations? -Asfandyar already did that
Dont you worry
Sign here.
Congrats
- So many congratulations..be happy Thank you mom
Congrats, my child
How pretty she is looking
Everything should be in order
Dad
Its an important day of my life
And my brother is not with me
Are you happy?
In my wedding(Nikah) album, my brother will not be with me.
These memories we will have?
Are you happy?
I am not
Everyone, look at camera and smile.
- Asfandyar Yes, dad
Look, son
my anger was not that wrong
but you, in return, punished all of us.(by keeping quiet)
Asfandyar
you are my life
&pashto&
Asfandyar
There is no use by staying silent, friend.
Please
please, tell me what happened at that night
Dad
That night
Chotu came to me
Ikramullah is not a good man.
I've seen him
playing with Ibrahim's innocence.
Do you understand what I trying to say?
He is not a good man, brother
At that time, I couldn't control myself.
Do you believe in what Chotu said?
Yes, dad
Chotu never lie to me.
Asfandyar, you should have come to me
Now see. What can I do
Let me think
I think we should go to Ibrahim's home
atleast talk to his parents.
atleast tell them to file a case
Dad,we cannot do anything
I tried to talk to his mother
I explained to her he is not alone in this
If they lift their morale then it will boost others morale too.
But...they are poor and terrified.
How will they take action against ikramullah
I have just lost my morale, father
I have lost my confidence
Without any witness and evidence
what can we do
Lala
- I will be witness against him -What?
What will you say
When I
was his employee(servant)
before coming here. then he
(abused) me too.
You hide this from me, Chotu
Are you not the member of this family
Dont you consider me your brother
I was very ashamed. how could I ?
Look here
You dont have to be ashamed.
in all this, you dont have fault
He will be ashamed
Father
Dont worry now
I know what I have to do
We came with Ikramullah sahab
so we make peace here.
and this doesn't go out to council.
Look Asad Khan
Asfandyar
is my son too
But
he has to pay for insulting elders.
I came to your house
as a guest
He raised his hand on me.
He insulted me
He went against our "Pakhtoon" traditions.
Ofcouse, he did.
If you were that concerned about "Paktoon's" traditions
then this hand't gone this far.
Behave, in front of him
That's another thing Ikramullah
but tell me what you do in school in the evening
Asad Khan
When your son's attention would be here and there
then someone will take responsibility of school, right?
See. In school there are some children
in which a lot of attention is required.
I swear to god
-I was teaching only -This is how you teach?
This is how you educate children?
- I will... - Asfandyar
you are insulting him.
- I haven't even started yet. Some children are there
who are orphan. I took their responsibility
I promised to give them better future.
And I will take care of them.But he!
lower your hand.
Asad Khan
I want to talk to your son in private.
Go son.
This way
Go away
Otherwise, you will not be able to show your face in this city.
Then everyone will see your show.
SHOW
Kid
Remove cover from your eyes
and see world yourself...this
is acceptable for everyone
the other thing left is
you dont know who you are standing against.
People here kiss my hands and feet
the kid for whom you are pleading
there were hundreds like him came and gone
- I will ... - Asfandyar
leave him
I always say
one your anger
will be reason for your death.
Let's go
Ikramullah
Its better for you to leave
But Asad Khan, we are here to make peace
so this issue get resolve.
Making peace is out of question now.
You are prioritizing him over me, Asad Khan
You believe his utter lies and blame?
Ikramullah
That we both know
that he is not speaking lie.
And why he make an apology
You should apologize to
whole city.
this is not first time that I
am hearing such news
I took it as rumor and was silent.
or because of our relation.
its better you keep silent.
You still have to wed your daughter
Ikramullah
This is my home
that's why I am letting you go honorably.
otherwise, the thing you said and I
heard. I am swearing to God
I wouldn't have listened one word
wouldn't have let you speak.
Now get out
- Asad Khan, Look Quiet
Get out
- I'm sorry -its ok
What a shot
- Give it to Sameer - Oh! no no uncle
- I cant do it -Try it, come on
- No, no. Thank you. -&pashto&
A small competition between girl's and boy's family
- Come one boy. -No, no. I am not a good shot
You have disappointed your father in-law
- Dont take tension. - no, no.
I can see you are trying to impress everyone since morning. I am not blind
Do this..
The thing I taught you this morning...speak that
- Now? -Yes
Now
Uncle
&pashto&
Who taught you this?
- Ajmal sahab come here. What did you think about second marriage?
Da...Daniyal..What did I say?
Nothing, I was kidding..
Come,come
Can I sit here?
Asfandyar
That night whatever happened
I am sorry, I had no idea
ignore that
Was I the only one who didn't know that you are adopted
No, elders already know
I was few months old when dad found me outside home.
Nobody know who left me there
I dont know how he decided but
he insisted he will nurture me like his own son
He strictly prohibited family members to spread this news
It was something prohibited to talk about in home.
You still dont know who your real parents are?
No, and its for the betterment.
For me, my father is only Asad Khan
He changed my life
You know, this school was my old dream
I am lucky I got a person like dad.
He gave me everything. Family, education.
Home
But who is fortunate like this
hardship, unemployment, poverty
The children who should've books in their hand
they go outside to work.
I dont want a future like that for them.
That's why I built that school.
In the beginning, there were two-three kids.
I had less motivation.
A mother came to me and said
if she send her children to school how their family be fed then.
I told her that
the family should be fed on basis of education not because of child labour
That's so inspiring Asfandyar
Actually, I was thinking that I am going to be actively involved.
You know...
I have degree in education and once I tell my friends
back in Canda
Then we can devise a programme
where we can provide your school proper funding
New syllabus, better books...
You know
New books? proper syllabus?
Do you think school has a faulty system?
No, that's not what I meant
I dont need your sympathy
and charity of your white friends.
Charity?
Are you kidding me
Why is every conversation with you is so frustrating, Asfandyar.
Why every conversation is converted into debate.
- Sometimes, I wish... -What?
You already slapped me. What worse can you do?
I'm sorry
I believe in your cause
Just trying to help
I dont need your help. Got it?
This much time in shopping? Why cant we leave them here.
Palwasha will take her back.
Shireen Gul is helping Meena shop for the wedding.
Yes, let's wait
By the way
Meena and You
Meena
and I
Trying to impress her?
Yes, buddy
But she doesn't take me seriously
by these childish pranks how will you win her?
Some big romantic plan---
Oh my God, how did you pull this off.
I have an idea
I dont know what the hell is going on. Been two hours already
- We will not get public transport at this time. -You are right
- Should I start it? - No, not now
sshhhh! come
Honestly behind this tough, snobbish exterior is a big soft, squishy baby of a man.
Romantic Music, Atmosphere. Fairy lights. Firework! Woooo!
Let's start.
Start
Sorry
I am a bit nervous
Look Meena
Till today, I have never
taken any relationship this serious.
Ever since I saw you I realized...
I sound like a 90's bollywood films.
'You complete me'
ehhh! I am just a boy
standing in front of girl, asking her to love me.
You make me wanna be a better man
I wrote speech...
didn't like it?
It wasn't good.
I'm just gonna do it
Meena Ajmal Khan.
Will you marry me?
Say 'yes, yes, yes'
Marriage?
Marriage is
a big commitment, Daniyal.
I'm truly touched by all of this
I really am
I value your friendship
I really do
You're very important to me
Which is why
I dont want this thing to affect our friendship
Dont know what more to say
Its so overwhelming.
But I love you Meena
I
like you a lot.
But like a friend.
I'm sorry, Daniyal
If you are feeling like
I did something----
fault is mine
God
This is so embarrassing
You deserve all the happiness in the world Daniyal
But you will not get that from me.
Meena
Is that the sole reason?
- I told you before it was a flop idea. -eh?
Waste of time
and money
Sad music? Yeah, sad music
Brother?
I'm ok
Meena
I dont want to talk about this
I had hoped for so much when I came back here...
Anyway, forget it.
I got a call from a friend in Canada
There was a job opening.
I applied before coming here.
After your marriage, I will immediately
Palwasha
- Who are these people? - Ikramullah's men
Call Asfandyar
Hello
You did very wrong to me.
Me?
I'm a confused man already
I mistook friendship for love, all because of mom's prodding and influence.
Why are you acting so naive, Asfandyar?
What are you trying to say?
I never had a shot with Meena.
Actually you are right. I was about to say the same thing. You never had a chance--
Uhh, I...actually, no I...
I'll just leave
I would've never given up so eaily if it were anyone else.
I swear it
But you know how it goes.
Bros over ho-err... Sister-in-laws.
Have you gone mad?
Oh, I've gone mand? I was the one proposing Meena
and yet she was constantly looking at you. Come on.
Now, she is even calling you.
'Smile once in a while'
I've heard its' good for you
I mean, the fire's burning at both ends
Why dont you tell her that you love her?
Are you still hung up over what mom said?
- It's Pash(Palwasha) calling. I got 5 missed calls from her too.
Hello
- Hello -What's all this?
Look Palwasha
you know what happened.
This..
is Ikramullah's area
Given the circumstances, you shouldn't be here.
Are you threatening us?
Do you know what Agha Jaan will do to you once he finds out?
On the contrary, we want Khan sahab to know.
Ikramullah sahib might be a patient man
but even his patience wears thin
I'm being very pleasant with you today.
But tomorrow you'll see a very different side of me.
Tell Asfandyar...
He should apologize to Ikramullah sahib.
Otherwise
What happened?
Scared already?
There's a wedding happening, after all
Won't you share the happiness?
Come Asfandyar
Hello
He got scared--
I will bury you alive!
- Get up - I will bury you alive.
You're bleeding profusely.
Why dont you go see a doctor?
It's not that deep wound
Weak, bro, weak.
Real man don't feel pain.
Ouch!What are you doing?
You WITCH!
Are you quite done being the action hero?
Where did you go?
Look at the state of these two
They're the ones who are injured and yet you're the one crying and blubbering like a fool
Drama queen
Asfandyar child, what happened?
Actually,..
Khanzada and..
matters are getting out of hand now.
Something will have to be done. And then
Palwasha's wedding festivities begin tomorrow.
What if something happens then?
Give me a minute to think.
If Ikramullah thinks he can intimidate us.
then that's the biggest mistake of his life.
Shahnzay
You dont have to worry
I've already spoken to police and my lawyer
I will make sure this matter reaches its proper conclusion before the night is over.
Ikramullah sahab
An arrest warrant has been issues in your name.
Meena, Shireen Gul is calling you.
I'm going.
You are crying?
No
Nothing, I was thinking about mom.
I've good news
The case has been filed against Ikramullah
Police have arrested him.
That's amazing news.
finally.
what are you looking
Nothing...
You are looking pretty
Say it again
You heard it already.
Why is it so hard for you to praise someone?
Beauty's silent song; a miracle from sky
Riedi Gul
Reidi Gul.
Now come down quickly.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Are you alright?
First class
- Then why are you making a face like a jilted lover? -please
You've no idea how quickly I bounce back from rejection.
I'm on the prowl as we speak
Stop worrying about me and focus more on yourself.
How long are you and Meean going to make us wait?
Make it official, already!
I'll do it after wedding ceremony.
Congratulation Lala. I am really happy for you
Now,if you'll excuse me
I'm waiting for someone.
What
Sir, please one minute. Smile
- Tell him to move camera elsewhere. Otherwise I'll bash his head with it. Move aside, man
Be happy, my child
- Take care of Palwasha -I will
Keep my granddaughter happy or I'll slaughter you. (In Pashto)
Slaughter? I'll burn him alive if he hurts her. (In Pashto)
If you ever make Palwasha cry,
there'll be no place on earth where you can hide from me. Understood?
Take it easy boy.
- Listen-- -I get it, I get it.I've already been threatened enough times.
- You take care of yourself. -Let him go, guys
Brother
Lala (brother), Its time for you to get married too.
I want a sister-in-law soon so there's some more partying and celebration in home.
Besides, I'm getting these strong urges to dance.
Alright.
Meena
What?
Uhh, nothing.
Meena
I came back to Swat after 11 years.
A trip I was not looking forward to.
It has been so long.
I had practically forgotten my past.
My culture, my family
But you never really forget, do you?
In just a month
I fell in love with everything, all over again
The places, that still take my breath away
A sense of belonging
The feeling of your home
and people
My crazy quirky family.
I'm going to miss them, most of all.
Their warmth
their laughter, their bravery
And loyalty.
their pride
I love them
They are my everything
Hi
Why are you sitting here alone
I was thinking about Pash (Palwasha)
Time flies like anything
I already miss that little brat.
I will also remember her so much.
By the way, Asfandyar was looking for you
Where is he
Last I see, he was going towards your room.
Take this
Asfandyar
Hi
Then
You wanted to say something
Meena
Congrats on your new job
Sorry
I read it as I was sitting here
You're going back to Canada
Yes
There's no reason to be here.
Is there, Asfandyar?
Chotu, what happened?
Chotu, chotu. What happened? Who didt his
Chotu, chotu
Who did this
Nosherman, take out the car.
We've to take him to hospital
- Lala -Chotu
School. save school
Lala
Asfandyar, you go
I will take care of him
I promised him
I will take care of him. I promised that...
I will keep him safe
I failed him
Asfandyar
You go
I will take care of all this.
Ok?
Beloved
Did you go court today?
Yes
Ikramullah's bail application is discarded
Lawyers are saying its an open and shut case.
He'll not get away this time.
Where is Ikram now?
He is being transferred back to police station.
Asfandyar should've been here.
Can we go home?
No
Take me to graveyard
Are you ok Asfandyar?
We'll win court case
Thank God
Citizens protested against Ikramullah
If you were there...you would've seen
It was like..there is no 'fear' of Ikramullah left (in citizens)
We paid a big amount (sacrifice).
This shouldn't have reach this far.
Why this city needed an innocent blood to awake?
Everyone delayed
Including me
Why are you blaming yourself, Asfandyar?
Its not right
Will Chotu ever want this?
I will miss him a lot.
I know
Let's go home
Everyone will be waiting for you
Meena
Thank you
You did so much for me
You handled all the operations of the school.
You believed in me
You believed in my students
I just cant thank you enough.
Don't be ridiculous
I'm back now
You dont have to put your life on hold for me anymore.
- What do you mean? Your job offer
That's not important
- Why you-- -It is important Meena
You didn't let my dream die.
How can I come between you and your dream
I'll be happy to see you pursue your passion.
Look, I'll handle everything here.
What happened?
Nothing, buddy
- What happened? Nothing, let's us
You! Go sit in the car! Go!
Come here
Go
Asfandyar Khan
I've never seen a stubborn like you in my life.
I turned my whole world upside down for you.
What didn't I do for you? I was your friend, your advocate..
and what did I get in return?
A measly 'thank you'?
Shove this 'thank you' where the sun doesn't shine
The night of Palwasha's wedding
Why did you come to my room?
Go on! Tell me! What did you want to talk about?
Its not important
Its not important?
Why?
Because of this?
Now tell me. What did you want to say to me?
Meena, I honestly quite scared of you right now.
What happened to all your bravery now?
If you dont want to say it, dont
I'll say it
Asfandyar
I love you
I really adore you
Your bravery
Your patience
Your everything
I really like it.
You think you're coming in between me and my dream?
You're wrong
You're my dream
And you know this
- The whole of Swat knows this - SHUT UP!
Asfandyar
Will you marry me
Say something
Speak
Say something! Why are you so quiet?
I'm embarrassed
What?
You know what
Daniyal's right about you
Daniyal, what is it you always call him?
Useless scum
No, no...other one.
Stupid poser!
No, something else...
That I cannot say in front of you
Meena
I love you Meena Asfandyar
Won't Meena Khan do?
It'll do
Oy, Lovebirds
Can we go?
Otherwise, whole Swat will be after us.
Beloved
