Bose The Forgotten Hero - With English Subtitles

You made me the Congress President when I was in exiIe.

Now that I've won the eIection on my own, you don't want me.

What's my mistake?

Each one has to Iisten to his conscience, Subhas.

Do you think I'II not foIIow you?

Is that why I shouId resign?

If you foIIow the party discipIine..

..and swear by non-vioIence..

..Congress can consider you.

I agree that non-vioIence was a fine weapon once, Bapu (Gandhi).

But that was the time of peace.

Today, when the worId is facing war..

..how can non-vioIence sustain?

I'm sad, Subhas.

Congress banned you for this view point.

I've to endorse that.

Don't you think that..

..the worId war is a good chance to defeat the British.

Wrong.

To kick an enemy when he is down is wrong.

Wait, Iet the war end.

We can fight for independence after that.

We heIped them in the first worId war.

What was the return?

RowIett Act!

JaIianwaIa Bagh!

If we Iose this chance, they wiII make..

..us their sIaves for ages.

This is no time to be siIent.

That's why I've appeaIed for individuaI non-cooperation.

IndividuaI efforts wiII Iead us nowhere.

AIright.

If you insist, we'II have to part.

Why are you saying this?

Are our goaIs not the same?

You cannot cut me off.

My Iove is both tender and rough.

You're a wayward son of mine, Subhas.

AIthough I've Iost your respect but my Iove for you remains the same..

..even though we're apart.

You said, Mahatma..

..even if one stands aIone but is honest..

..he shouIdn't be afraid to march forward.

I do not agree with you, Subhas.

But if your methods make India free..

..I'II be the first one to congratuIate you.

Then bIess me.

To succeed.

Greetings. - Greetings.

A teIegram for you.

Putting me in jaiI is unjust.

So I've no aIternative.

But to register a moraI protest.

My fast unto death is to wake up the powers in London.

Mr. Sisir, who wiII have this Iunch?

Your uncIe is on a hunger strike.

Hunger strike?

Listen, Mr. Bose, Its two weeks aIready.

I'II not aIIow you to die Iike this.

PIease understand.

I'm not against you.

It's the government you represent.

I've an order here..

..from the Governor to feed you by force if you do not eat on your own.

Open his mouth and feed him.

The country wiII erupt if he dies in jaiI.

What am I to do, sir?

He refuses to Iisten to reason.

A dead Subhas may turn out to be more dangerous..

..than Subhas who is aIive.

I'm afraid, I cannot guarantee that he'II not die in jaiI.

Then set him free.

Let him go home.

Sir?

But see that he is kept surrounded by waII of men day and night.

Greetings, brother. - A teIegram from Bapu.

What is it?

Regret inabiIity to interfere notwithstanding..

..regard and friendship for Bose brothers.

Cannot Iift the ban without their..

..apoIogizing for indiscipIine. M. K. Gandhi.

Seems Bapu is against us.

Not us but our ideoIogy.

Whatever.

Bapu has procIaimed that your victory is his defeat.

In the Congress committee..

..you were isoIated even after becoming the President?

I don't think Bapu wiII reIent.

The whoIe country is with him.

There's no other mass Ieader Iike Bapu.

Using non-vioIence, he brought the British down.

Bapu can understand the nation..

..but not the enemy.

Otherwise even after being cheated time and again..

..he wouIdn't have been ready for compromise.

I've made up my mind.

The time for compromise is over.

It's time for a decisive war.

As a repIy, I'II send him the poem by WiIIiam TeII.

You recited it to me in my chiIdhood.

''This head has never bowed to any one.''

''Save the Creator.''

''My Iife you may stifIe..

..but not the voice of my conscience.''

UncIe, you caIIed me? - Yes, sit.

Turn up the radio. - Yes.

Sisir, can you do something for me?

Sure, uncIe, teII me.

You drive weII, don't you?

Yes, uncIe.

Good.

Someday, you may need to take me on a Iong drive.

But remember..

..you shaII teII no one about this.

''SIeep my princess..'' - A cup of tea.

Hot news. - What?

Brother Subhas was taIking to Mr. Sisir.

What did he say?

CouIdn't hear because of the radio.

Radio?

The radio was turned up high, so I wasn't abIe to Iisten.

But brother toId me..

What? - He wants to eat fried eggpIants.

AII your brother Subhas does is eat throughout the day.

Why is the government so scared of him?

Nemai, do you keep your eyes and ears open?

Come here.

Who got down from the rickshaw?

IIa..

..post these Ietters immediateIy. - Yes.

Greetings, Mr. Akbar.

What took you so Iong?

Greetings, Mr. Subhas.

IIa, ask Nemai to serve tea.

Yes, uncIe.

Draw the chair cIoser. I need to confide in you.

Yes?

I'm aII ears, Mr. Subhas. PIease go ahead.

Getting out ofjaiI was tough.

But the British wiII find some excuse to imprison me again..

..and Iet me rot there tiII the war ends.

Orjust kiII me.

So what I'd rather do..

..is Ieave India for Russia via KabuI.

You've been there.

I'II heIp you.

But wiII Russia heIp?

Why not?

They oppose coIoniaIism and therefore the British Empire.

That's why Russia can heIp us raise a revoIutionary army to free India.

The time is here when we must die..

..to gain freedom and break the shackIes of sIavery.

You've got the spirit.

But wiII your heaIth permit you?

Don't worry about my heaIth.

Just heIp me to cross the border..

..and reach Russia.

Done.

I've sent voIunteers for the party conference in DeIhi.

Let me know if I can do more. - Yes.

Have this. - Sure.

TeII me. Why did that Badshah come to see Bose?

Sir, my information is that he came to consuIt Bose..

..regarding the AII India Forward BIock Conference in DeIhi.

And wiII Bose attend the meeting?

No sir, he is too weak to traveI after his hunger strike.

But he went to the Congress meeting on a stretcher.

He had to.

Because Gandhi's men suspected that he was faiIing in iIIness.

Whatever it is.

See that he does not Ieave CaIcutta.

Do not want him out of my sight.

Left to me..

I'd keep him in prison for the rest of his Iife.

Mother, that's why I've decided to renounce the worId.

WiII you join Aurobindo's ashram in Pondicherry?

PossibIy.

Is this the age to renounce the worId?

Consider your heaIth.

Don't worry, mother.

IIa can serve my meaIs whiIe I Iive in secIusion.

I'II communicate with you in writing.

Arguing with you is useIess.

Sharat, make him understand.

Mother, from..

..tonight I'II Iive aIone behind the curtains.

In this oath of siIence, I'II meditate..

..sIeep on the fIoor..

..and eat onIy once a day.

After doing so for a fortnight..

..I'II renounce the worId.

''The aunts who put me to sIeep, come home.''

Mother..

''The aunts who put me to sIeep, come home.''

..wherever I'm..

I'II aIways reside in your heart.

Subhas!

Subhas!

God bIess you.

Brother.

God bIess you.

Yes, Nemai? - I've news.

What? - Mr. Subhas is going to renounce the worId.

Nonsense! Did any poIitician ever renounce the worId? FooIish man!

I swear! When he was a kid..

..he went off to the HimaIayas to become a monk.

He'II spend a fortnight meditating in his chamber. - But of course.

What eIse can one who faIIs out with Gandhi do but become a monk?

After I'm gone, the poIice may take you for interrogation.

You might even be jaiIed.

You won't give in, wiII you?

I can't afford to have the two of you buckIing under pressure.

Ok?

Let's go.

''The aunts, who put me to sIeep, come to my pIace.''

''The aunts, who put me to sIeep, come to my pIace.''

''The aunts, who put me to sIeep, come to my pIace.''

''The aunts, who put me to sIeep, come to my pIace.''

Hey you! - It was off in a fIash.

Mr. Sisir seems to be in a hurry.

UncIe!

You can sit normaIIy now.

Wear this.

UncIe, poIice. Now what?

ReIax and stop.

Just remember..

..this car is yours.

I'm your chauffeur, Ziauddin.

Your car?

Yes.

Mine.

Why? - What do you mean why?

PoIice needs to be aIert.

It's a CaIcutta number.

Do you have the car's papers?

Bose.

38/2, EIgin Road.

Sisir.

ReIated to the Ieader?

What's his name, Subhas Chandra Bose?

God! What a sharp eye!

He is Mr. Subhas's nephew, indeed.

Have you ever met Mr. Subhas?

No.

Someday you'II sureIy meet him.

Any dangers ahead on the road to Dhanbad?

With us around, how can there be a danger?

Listen.

Drive carefuIIy and sIowIy.

WiId animaIs cross the road at times.

And you're accompanying the master?

I'm the chauffeur.

Why are you making this kid drive?

I toId uncIe that I'd drive.

UncIe?

AII my Iife I've been with Mr. Subhas.

So the kids caII me uncIe.

Any troubIe?

No, Iet them go.

Goodbye.

ReIax, Sisir.

We didn't spot any wiId animaI, except him.

Sorry, I was nervous.

Can't puII of these acts.

Brother!

Sisir! You here. You shouId've sent word.

I'm accompanying uncIe Subhas. - UncIe?

Where's he? - He isn't here as our uncIe..

..but as Mohammed Ziauddin, an insurance agent.

He's taking the KaIka maiI tonight. UntiI then, he'II stay here.

Master..

..a bearded MusIim wants to see you.

I'm going in to meet sister-in-Iaw Meera.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Take his Iuggage.

Come in.

Mr. Ashok Kumar Bose, I'm Mohammed Ziauddin..

..an insurance agent.

What can I do for you?

As an engineer, you're aware of the periIs in coaI mines.

PeriIous it is, Mr. Ziauddin.

It's fuII of danger.

Right now, I've to go to the mines for inspection.

Come in the evening and we'II taIk at Iength.

I came here from Jharia to meet you.

I won't take more than 15 minutes.

WiII you be back for Iunch?

My wife Meera, my brother Sisir.

Greetings!

Excuse me, Mr. Ziauddin. I'm in hurry.

PIease rest here. I'II see you in the evening.

Meera, Mr. Ziauddin wiII have Iunch with us.

But he is MusIim.

You can send my Iunch here.

Be assured, Mr. Bose.

I'II send your poIicy very soon.

Everything wiII be ok. - I wish the same.

Caution is very important.

Thanks, Mr. Bose.

PIease convey my regards to the Iady.

I've given you much troubIe.

I'II Ieave now.

ShouId I drive you to the station?

Not necessary.

I'm used to this.

I'II reach safeIy.

Thank you once again.

Give his Iuggage.

Mr. Ziauddin, wouId you Iike a Iift?

Yes. Thank you.

Where were you?

Thought I'd have to waIk to the station.

Sorry, uncIe, I took Iong to dismiss the servants.

UncIe?!

How are you, Meera?

UncIe, I'm sorry. I treated you so badIy.

I didn't know.. - You were right.

No one couId suspect that you know me.

Yes, but..

PIease come home. I'II cook for you. Sisir, take us home.

No Meera. Everyone wiII suspect.

Besides, I've miIes to go.

I'II take your Ieave.

You better go.

FareweII.

CooIie.

Take the Iuggage.

''If no one heeds your caII, waIk aIone.''

''If no one heeds your caII, waIk aIone.''

''WaIk aIone.'' - Sisir. ''WaIk aIone.''

''If no one heeds your caII, waIk aIone.''

''LoneIy traveIIer on his path goes on and on.''

''LoneIy traveIIer on his path goes on and on.''

''Come what may, he'II head on.''

''LoneIy traveIIer on his path goes on and on.''

''LoneIy traveIIer on his path goes on and on.''

''Come what may, he'II head on.''

Sir, here's a Ietter we intercepted from the Bose househoId.

A Ietter from Bose to DiIip Kumar Roy.

Interesting!

How I wish I couId just withdraw..

..from the worId and join you in Pondicherry.

It seems he might Ieave for Pondicherry soon.

Increase security at his house.

Keep a watch on aII trains Ieaving CaIcutta.

EspeciaIIy, watchfuI of anyone who Iooks Iike a priest.

Sir.

''There may be too many troubIes.''

''But I've Iearnt never give up.''

''My conscience is here to stay..''

..even if I die.''

''If no one heeds your caII, be ready to waIk aIone.''

''If no one heeds your caII, be ready to waIk aIone.''

''We wiII take whatever comes our way now.''

I've been watching you for the Iast three days, Mr. Shah.

You come whenever the Frontier MaiI is expected.

Looking for someone?

I'm expecting reIatives.

Brother.

Come on. Come on.

Take me to Taj MahaI hoteI.

Give it to me, sir. - Come here. The cart is empty.

Where to?

Taj MahaI. - Okay!

Move!

Be carefuI, on the Ieft.

Be carefuI.

Be cIose to the Ieft.

Take straight and then Ieft. - Stop here.

Okay.

''I'm stiII young.''

Where is Taj MahaI hoteI? - There.

''I'm stiII young.''

''The breeze is pIeasant too.''

Come, sir.

The red saIute to comrade Bose.

You're mistaken. My name is Ziauddin.

Of course.

I'm Abaad Khan. Secretary of Kirti Kisan Party.

Abaad Khan. Secretary of Kirti Kisan Party.

Mr. Akbar Shah couIdn't come due to the poIice patroI.

He sent me to find out how you are.

The poIice couId've foIIowed you too. - Don't worry.

I came in by the back door.

A reguIar habit with us communists.

You now shift to my house now.

Your home wiII be watched too, comrade. - Don't worry.

PoIice Iooks for bigger targets.

You'II reach Moscow by the time they know.

SoftIy! - Moscow!

WeIcome.

A poor Pathan's house.

Upstairs.

WeIcome. WeIcome.

WeIcome.

So how was the journey, Mr. Ziauddin?

So far so good. I Iook forward to the rest.

Water. - Give it to him in a cIean tumbIer.

That's not done.

A Pathan drinks from the KandoIi.

That's Iike it!

A saIwar-kameez (Long cIoth) wiII make you Iook Iike a true Pathan.

Indeed!

What about my journey to Soviet Russia via KabuI?

ReIax.

You've just come. That'II be arranged, too.

Not done yet?

In a week, the news of my escape from wiII be out.

It's imperative I reach Russia before that.

Have you sent anyone to Moscow from the party?

Yes.

Comrade Ramkishen and Sardar Achar Singh Cheema were sent.

It so happened.. - As soon as I reached, I heard..

..comrade Ramkishen drowned whiIe crossing the river.

And Sardar Achar Singh Cheema..

..was arrested by the Russian border poIice.

You mean, no contact estabIished with Russians yet?

That'II be done, Mr. Subhas.

Comrade Bhagatram TaIwar of Kirti Kisan Party..

..has a good rapport with the Russians.

He'II escort you to KabuI and Moscow. - No!

I've toId everyone in the viIIage that..

..I'm escorting comrade Bose to Moscow.

What?

You've toId everyone?

Who eIse knows that Subhas Bose is here?

This isn't how underground operations are done.

Forgive me.

I beg your pardon.

But your cIothes are ready.

A Ieader of his stature, siIent for so Iong?

Is Mr. Subhas dumbstruck?

No, he is has taken a vow of siIence.

Even Mr. Gandhi keeps siIence on Tuesdays.

Subhas Chandra Bose is not Gandhi.

No one can suppress his voice.

At Ieast, Iet him say why is he siIent.

Why don't you give it to me in writing?

If he isn't meditating, he'II repIy without deIay.

Now you Iook Iike a reaI Pathan.

But KabaIis are never so cIean.

Don't worry!

Just Iive in these cIothes for a few days.

You'II Iook Iike a true Pathan.

That must be comrade Bhagatram TaIwar.

Abaad Khan?

Come up. - Yes.

He'II heIp you cross into Russia.

Red saIute. - SaIute.

Come!

Mr. Subhas, this is comrade Bhagatram TaIwar.

His famiIy has sacrificed a Iot.

His brother Harkishen was hanged.

I've heard a Iot about Harkishen's martyrdom, Mr. Bhagatram.

So I thought, Bhagatram wouId be a taII Pathan.

Do not measure his stature by his height.

He is very smart.

Anyway, he is your nephew Rehmat Khan.

And this is your uncIe.

Khan Mohammed Ziauddin Khan.

Greet your uncIe.

WeIcome, may god protect you and keep you happy.

In repIy, you say.

May God protect you too.

May God protect.. - No.

Open your mouth and the secret wiII be out.

Even I can't teach you Pashtu in 2 days.

What if he doesn't speak at aII?

How ridicuIous!

Humans are bound to speak, comrade!

Humans can be dumb too.

Great idea!

I'II say, he Iost his voice due to iIIness.

And I'm taking him to the shrine in Adda Sharif across the border.

Mr. Subhas, we'II stop here.

There must be poIice outside.

Fine.

Comrade Abaad Khan, thanks.

May you attain your goaI and freedom for India.

FareweII.

Red saIute. - Red saIute.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Nowshera. - Nowshera.

And what's your name? - Ziauddin Khan.

Shut up, he'II say that. Is he dumb?

He is dumb.

He's dumb, indeed. - Yes.

Was be born dumb?

No, officer.

Last year, he Iost his voice due to an iIIness.

I'm taking him to Adda Sharif for a cure.

I know how to make bigmouths dumb and make the dumb speak.

Show me your tongue. - Stick out your tongue, uncIe.

CarefuI.

Stiff!

CompIicated case.

Take him on the piIgrimage.

The saint's bIessing might give him his speech back.

Right. - GargIing with aIum aIso heIps.

Go. - Thanks, officer. - Go.

IIa. - Yes?

Give this sweet to your UncIe.

If he doesn't care to greet his mother even on his birthday..

..then I don't care for him either.

Happy birthday, uncIe!

May we rest a whiIe, Mr. Subhas.

TaIwar. - Yes.

What a beautifuI Iand!

Bare mountains Iook beautifuI?

Freedom!

It's a free country. That's why it's beautifuI.

You got a rupee coin? - Sure.

But what can you buy here?

I want to stomp on the face of the British Emperor.

And I want to spit on the face of his puppet, the viceroy.

I'II stomp too.

Take this!

And this!

Sister IIa. He hasn't even touched the food.

Sister IIa. - What happened, Nemai? - I hope he's aII right.

UncIe isn't here!

Don't know where he has gone.

Is somebody there? Brother Sisir.

Mother, uncIe is nowhere to be seen.

Nemai, did you see him going out?

What? He isn't in his room?

Has he Ieft us? - I don't understand.

Sisir.

I knew he'd do this.

Take Subhas's horoscope and go..

..to the priest at KaIighat. He may be abIe to teII us.

You didn't see him Ieave either?

What are you being paid for?

To keep a watch.

A 6 feet taII man couIdn't have just vanished.

Vanished?

This is ridicuIous!

Chasing sages aII over the country. PuIIing off their beards.

And what have we to show for it?

Sir, here's a report that he has gone to Bangkok..

..to become a Buddhist monk.

Rubbish! Next to be teIIing me he has gone..

..to Afghanistan to join the Fakir of Ippi.

Now it's the turn of the British.

Friends and freedom fighters!

I stand here on this hoIy Iand not as a saint but as a freedom fighter.

By drawing the Durand Line across the hoIy Iand of Afghanistan..

..these non-beIievers have divided us.

We, Pashtuns wiII never accede to this partition.

And we're not aIone.

ItaIy and Germany support our hoIy war.

God sent us to this worId to destroy them..

..Raise your voices to crush the British.

God is Supreme. - Yes, he is.

This mendicant is an expert, Mr. Subhas.

They say, he makes impossibIe things happen.

If onIy he was a mass Ieader instead of an eccentric freedom fighter..

..he couId've served our cause.

He's nicknamed as the mad foIIower of God.

Don't worry, mother.

The poIice are Iooking for him in Pondicherry.

Why wouId the poIice search for him?

It's they who abducted him.

God knows how he is.

It's not so, mother.

The whoIe county is anxious about your son.

Rabindranath Tagore has sent a cabIe.

DeepIy concerned over Shubhash's disappearance.

Convey to mother my sympathy.

KindIy keep me informed. Rabindranath.

Sharad Babu, there's a teIegram from Mr. Gandhi. - Yes.

Here.

The Mahatma wishes to know why Subhas has disappeared.

Sisir.

What did the priest of KaIighat say?

He said uncIe was destined to renounce the worId.

He invoked the spirits.

The Goddess toId him that uncIe has renounced everything.

Can't find his shoes either.

If he has renounced the worId..

..why wouId he take his shoes? - Which one?

His waIking shoes?

Sisir took them for repairs.

Yes,

I gave them to the Chinese shoemaker.

What's your probIem? Go away.

What do we repIy to Mr. Gandhi?

Write that Subhas has probabIy renounced the worId.

They say that It'II be totaIIy crushed.

Former president of AII India Congress and Forward BIock Ieader..

..Bose is reported to be missing from his..

..CaIcutta residence since Iast night.

PoIice say he may be hiding in a monastery in South India.

Escaped! He's escaped.

He fooIed them.

MussadiIaI. - Yes sir. - Distribute sweets to everyone.

The BengaI Tiger Subhas has escaped again. - ReaIIy?

Here's a kiIo of sweets. Free!

Why free?

Somebody caIIed Subhas has escaped from the British.

UncIe, these Afghans are generous.

Their kiIo weighs four times ours.

Pack haIf of it for us to take home. We'II give a bIessing to Subhas.

Sure.

Indians? Where from? - Nowshera.

Nowshera, near Peshawar.

I know that pIace.

I know everything.

Who's this Subhas?

Who inspired such generosity in this miser?

I don't know. There's no one in Nowshera by that name.

Eat the sweet, Khan.

I see.

I'II eat. - Let's move, uncIe.

Excuse me, I'm Rehmat Khan.

I've never seen you.

My friend Zaman, works here. - Who is Zaman?

Zaman aIias MikhaiI Andreyevich.

I aIso know the Russian Ambassador.

You know him? - Yes.

And I know the king of KabuI!

You can't enter without a pass.

Get out.

Get out.

You said everyone here knows you!

Remember you're dumb! Let's try them.

Madam, a IittIe heIp.

PIease carry this Ietter to comrade KozIov.

I'm his friend. PIease, urgent, important.

Madam, pIease.

FooI!

What are you up to?

I know, making passes at..

..Russian girIs. - Just asking for an address.

How cute! If I see you here again, I'II Iock you up. FooI!

Go. - Come uncIe.

O God!

Greetings!

Greetings!

Greetings! - Greetings!

We must contact the Russians anyhow.

I've not come to rest here.

If you can't, I'II do it on my own.

The Russian system works differentIy.

Trust me. Just Iet me find Zaman. Everything wiII be fine.

Son of a pig! What are you up to? Who are you? TeII me.

Why have you come here? What have we done?

I know you're up to something.

I'm supposed to report aII suspicious characters in KabuI.

Why have you come to KabuI?

My uncIe took iII and Iost his speech. - I see!

My mother has sent us here for a cure.

ReaIIy! - Yes.

FooI.

Why were you at the Russian embassy? I know everything.

They say, there are exceIIent doctors in Russia.

UncIe, reIax. Listen.

Idiot.

It costs money to touch me, fooI!

Khan, you want bribe? Let's go there.

Here. - What's this? Okay.

Listen carefuIIy, no troubIe from now on.

I know everything.

Go!

Why did you pay him?

It'II confirm his doubts.

We'II have to Ieave before he gets the poIice.

He'II do nothing. He's just corrupt.

I've a great Indian Ieader with me.

I know. Subhas Chandra Bose.

You know? - Yes.

I must take him to Soviet Union.

Comrade Ram, why are you heIping him?

He said that India can never become communists.

But I've been sent by the party.

I see. The party is stiII new in India.

Your friend Achar Singh Cheema asked Comrade StaIin..

..to heIp Chandra Bose.

But senior Indian comrades based in Europe say that

Chandra Bose is no good for revoIution.

It's my request.

Zaman, I promised that you'II heIp him.

TeII him that you couIdn't find Zaman.

CouIdn't find Zaman, don't worry Mr. Subhas.

Getting you to Moscow is my responsibiIity.

Son of a swine. You're stiII here!

Can't find a hospitaI for your uncIe?

I know what cure you're Iooking for.

I toId you! - Shut up. Pig!

By god.

Your uncIe's goId watch is very nice.

Don't touch the watch.

I'm his nephew, taIk to me.

You keep your uncIe's watch.

I'II take you to the poIice station and teach you a Iesson.

Come on.

Hands off my uncIe! He gets fits. - Come on.

What do you want now? You've aIready taken money from me.

This.

GoId watch is mine.

You scoundreI. You try to confront this Khan?

WeII done, Subhas.

This watch is your reward for passing the ICS examination.

Thank you, father.

But I don't wish to take up a governmentjob.

Why? - Because one can't serve the British and India together.

My father's gift for passing the ICS.

I opted out of civiI service.

Now I've Iost the watch.

We ought to Ieave this pIace, TaIwar.

This is the German embassy. Russian embassy is just opposite.

Germany might heIp. - One minute.

Look! Ambassador KozIov with his wife.

Stay here whiIe I taIk to him.

Comrade KozIov. Comrade KozIov.

Listen. PIease!

I've some one with me who is seeking asyIum in the Soviet Union.

There he is. Subhas Chandra Bose.

The Indian revoIutionary. Former president of the congress.

How do I know this man with you is Subhas Bose?

He Iooks Iike an Afghan to me.

No Comrade, beIieve me. He is Subhas Chandra Bose.

My party has sent me.

Even if he is who you say he is, I can't heIp you.

Comrade, pIease! PIease.

He couIdn't understand me.

You didn't teII him I'm here?

I toId him, he asked for proof!

Don't worry, Iet me find Zaman.

FooI thinks you're an Afghan.

Forget it. Divert the guard's attention. I'II waIk right in.

Brother, excuse me.

Been Iooking for hours. Where is this pIace?

Straight, then right.

I'm Subhas Chandra Bose.

What a coincidence. I was just reading about your escape.

BiIger. Hanks BiIger. PIease.

I need your heIp, Herr.

I wish to seek asyIum in your embassy.

It was very rash of you to come here Iike this.

KabuI is coaIing with British agents.

AII the more reason you shouId give me sheIter here.

We cannot have you here.

There are many Afghans working in this pIace.

Some of them couId be spies. PIease understand, Herr. Bose.

AsyIum cannot be given at a moment's notice.

There are procedures. I must consuIt BerIin.

I must inform my coIIeague, the ItaIian ambassador.

Herr BiIger, the Iodge I'm staying in has aIready been..

..visited by the poIice.

I need to get out of KabuI. Can you heIp me do that?

There is onIy one way, through Russia.

For that you need a transit visa. It is not so easy.

Then what do you suggest?

I can promise you this.

I'II contact my foreign office immediateIy.

And I'II Iet you know as soon as possibIe.

In the mean time I suggest you to stay at the..

..Indian quarters in Shor Bazar.

You're Uttam Chand MaIhotra?

Today it was Iearnt that.. - Yes. TeII me.

Red saIute!

You've heard of the comrade who was hung for kiIIing..

..the Punjab Governor?

Harkishen TaIwar?

Yes, I'm his brother.

I'm here on a poIiticaI mission. I need your heIp.

I can't heIp you.

I migrated to KabuI for business, not poIitics.

Antenna for PhiIips radio?

Come next week.

Thank you.

You Iie!

Or you wouIdn't have sent a customer away.

You want a donation?

No!

I haven't come with such a trifIe request.

A great Ieader of India has fooIed the British and escaped.

I'm asking sheIter for that poIiticaI fugitive.

Who is it?

You sound as if it's Subhas Chandra Bose.

Indeed!

Yes!

Red saIute!

Mr. Subhas.

WeIcome.

Sit.

Take off your socks.

They're wet.

For the first time since I Ieft India, I feeI at home.

You're being poIite.

It's just a poor man's hoveI.

Listen.

WiII they stay here?

Where eIse?

They've come from India.

They're reIatives.

ReIatives? Never seen them before.

How are they reIated?

Distant reIations.

Not a question of being cIose or distant.

Since when have MusIims become your reIatives?

Keep your voice down.

They might hear.

WiII you cook something for them?

OnIy as Iong as it's just one meaI.

But don't you taIk of Ietting them stay here!

Thank you, Mr. Uttam Chand.

MarveIIous!

Nothing Iike home-cooked food.

My wife has a sharp tongue, but she's a wonderfuI cook.

Now you Iook more Iike Subhas Chandra Bose, the Ieader.

It's time for you to rest.

They say you've renounced the worId..

..but I haven't. I must return to my wife.

Goodnight.

I'm downstairs. If you need anything caII me.

You haven't sIept yet?

Why are you bothered?

Why have you hidden them in the attic?

Who are they? You won't say?

I toId you.

I know. I'm not bIind of deaf.

I can see and hear.

Been spying? - Why not?

You're out ofjaiI because of my father!

To heII with your father!

You're messing with criminaIs again! - Someone might hear. - So?

The poIice wiII hauI them away. Good riddance!

Do you even know who he is?

Subhas.

Subhas Chandra Bose.

Subhas Chandra Bose?

I thought you were a criminaI.

It must be my good deeds that

I can serve a great man Iike you.

This house is a bit smaII but.. - Not at aII.

It's good to Iive with a famiIy.

You never thought of marriage and a famiIy?

Mr. Subhas.

You sent Bhagatram on an errand?

Sent him to meet the Germans at Siemens.

But I'm not sure if he can do anything.

I wonder if I've made a mistake by..

..reIying on Kirti Kisan party and Bhagatram.

Bhagatram taIks a Iot but no work.

I think he has his compuIsions.

I'd rather make it to Russia on my own.

Getting to the border is easy.

But beyond that, you need an experienced guide.

It's dangerous.

Is this town any Iess dangerous, Mr. Uttam Chand?

What did Thomas say? Any news from BerIin?

I don't know.

But he asked us to meet the ItaIian Ambassador tomorrow.

First Russian, then German, now ItaIian?

CongratuIations, Mr. Bose on your successfuI escape to KabuI.

Thank you.

But exiIe in KabuI is not the purpose of my mission.

It is just the first step towards Iiberating India.

We need your heIp and co-operation.

How can we heIp you?

I wouId Iike you to persuade Rome..

..to recognize our government of free India in exiIe.

Once Rome agrees..

BerIin and Moscow wiII foIIow.

When our government is recognized..

..I propose to raise an army of Iiberation to march into India..

..through the Soviet Union.

Mr. Bose, much as we wouId Iike to heIp you..

..I know that in the Rome-BerIin axis..

..BerIin is the dominant partner.

The first step towards recognition of your government..

..has to be taken by BerIin..

..and onIy by BerIin.

Then get me to BerIin. - I'II try my best to do that.

But as I said before, BerIin wiII have to give the go-ahead.

But I've aIready met the Germans..

..and they asked me to be in touch with you.

And now you teII me that everything depends on the Germans.

Mr. Bose..

I personaIIy beIieve in your cause..

..and I'II do everything I can to get you to BerIin.

Thank you Husanio Quaroni.

In the mean time, how can we contact you?

Through Mr. Uttam Chand MaIhotra of the Shor Bazar.

Mr. Subhas.

What's the news, Mr. Uttam Chand? - Good news.

I've found a good guide to take you to Russia. - What?

Guide?

This is not right.

When Quaroni said he'II heIp, we ought to wait.

It's been 52 days. Am I to wait for 52 weeks?

The Russians stood me up.

The Germans sent me to the ItaIians.

ItaIians say that they must ask the Russians.

Instead of going nowhere, Iet's go to Mazhar Sharif..

..and cross the Oxus river into Soviet Union.

But the Oxus river is treacherous!

We couId drown Iike Ramkishen..

If you're scared of drowning, don't come.

Come what may, I'm ready to face it.

You useIess chap.

You've aIready gobbIed up three heIpings.

Who'II pay?

Don't worry.

You'II get the money. My friends are coming.

Who'II pay for you?

Two guys.

I'm escorting them to Russia.

Not an easy job! - Escorting!? Whom?

Two Pathans from your Iand.

There, they are here. See there.

Officer, nab him.

Stop! You fooI!

Stop! Where are you running?

Taking uncIe and nephew to Russia!?

I know.

I knew they were up to something.

How are you reIated? - Mercy sir.

What a stupid pIan, comrade!

ApoIiticaI! You've spoiIt it aII.

That fooI wiII squeaI.

OnIy if he knew.

I didn't teII him about you.

When the poIice torture him.. - He's an oId jaiIbird.

Been in jaiI twice for murder.

What do you know of hardcore criminaIs?

He'II get beaten but he won't squeaI.

But that poIiceman knows who we are.

Soon the neighbours wiII suspect us.

Before the British poIice arrive, we ought to Ieave.

Mr. Subhas, where to?

We've nowhere to go.

May I see Mr. MaIhotra, pIease?

Here's a foreigner Iady to meet you.

I'II be back.

Sorry, madam, you had to wait for me.

What can I do for you?

I'm Sierra Quaroni, wife of the ItaIian ambassador.

TeII me the message.

These are the formaI papers.

The Axis powers wiII be happy to weIcome Mr. Bose.

Ask him to foIIow the instructions in the attached note.

This doesn't feeI right, Mr. Subhas.

You shouId have gone to Russia.

That's what I wanted. But who knows what Russia wants?

I hope ItaIy and Germany don't use you Iike..

..they're using that crazy Ippi Fakir.

A man who gives British sIeepIess nights for years can't be crazy.

If not Russia, Iet it be Germany.

For India's freedom..

..I'II take the deviI's side. - Give it to me.

No, Iet's go.

Mr. Uttam Chand.

I'm deepIy indebted to you.

I don't know how I'II repay.

Don't say that.

You graced us by staying here.

I feIt we've contributed to the war of independence..

Subhas, don't say no.

Three goId guineas that my mother gave.

This is from me.

My bit for India's freedom.

BIessings of the motherIand for you.

FareweII.

Here's your new Passport.

OrIando Matsota.

But that's not my name.

The Russians are reIuctant to give you even a transit visa.

So you'II have to traveI as Matsota..

..through Russia to Germany.

From now on you'II be Count OrIando Matsota.

Radio teIegraphist.

First Mohammad Ziauddin, an insurance agent.

Then Ziauddin Khan, a mute tribaI Pathan.

And now an ItaIian Count.

AII this for the motherIand.

I hope you've a good journey..

..senor Matsota.

Thank you, Senor Quaroni.

Now you'II need this.

Thank you, Senora.

Thank you senor.

TaIwar, I'II keep you informed.

I wish I couId accompany you..

..at Ieast tiII Moscow.. - Some other time, comrade.

Send this message to my friends in the Forward BIock in CaIcutta.

Yes.

Tears in a Pathan's eyes?

We'II meet again for sure, comrade. In free India!

Bye. - Red saIute.

''When wiII we reach our destination?''

''WiII this difficuIt path ever become easy?''

''Today we'II get the answers to aII our questions.''

''Today is the day of decision.''

''The IoneIy traveIIer wiII move ahead on his path.''

Why shouId I meet this ItaIian, Swami?

Won't heIp matters.

His ExceIIency OrIando Matsota is a fine man.

Why are you patronizing him?

What's so great about him?

Once you meet him, you'II know. - Brother, are you an Indian?

Yes Sardar, heIIo!

Greetings!

Good god, what a reIief to hear one's mother tongue.

Otherwise who Iistens to prisoners of war in this foreign Iand?

You are POW's?

Yes Sir. Got arrested in Africa.

Poor Gurbachan Iost his identity papers.

And now the British and the Germans are tossing us about.

Look at this, sir. They've given this bunch of forms to fiII up.

We can't understand their Ianguage.

Don't worry, we'II fiII them for you.

Thank you, sir. - Abid, you can fiII that Iater.

His ExceIIency is very particuIar about time. Abid come.

Wait! Name?

Gurbachan Singh Mangad. - Singh Mangad.

Age? - 21 years.

Father's name? - Abid.

Yes. Coming.

OrIando Matsota. - Abid, come on.

HeIIo, Your ExceIIency.

HeIIo Swami.

AIone? Where is Abid Hassan?

Mr. Subhas? - OrIando Matsota.

Yes.

Yes, Your ExceIIency.

Tea? Come.

Its 5 years since we met.

You were a Congress voIunteer.

Sir, you remember?

How couId I forget such an enthusiastic voIunteer?

Hanging on to Mr. Gandhi aII the time.

At his caII, I even went to jaiI.

When he made a pact with Irwin..

..I gave it aII up and came to Germany.

Gave up the fight for such a smaII issue?

Of course not. I'm not a quitter.

If we work for India's freedom from here, wiII you heIp?

Yes, Your ExceIIency.

But do what?

Set up a Congress party office?

No, the Congress strategy cannot work anymore. - Thank you.

We'II raise an army here to set India free.

Germany wiII heIp us.

But sir, these Germans appreciate the British.

Why wiII they heIp?

Anyway sir, when do we start? - Right away.

There's a Iot to do and very IittIe time.

Nambiar!

Nambiar, Abid Hasan.

Abid, Mr. Nambiar.

HeIIo, Abid. - Sir.

He's come from Paris to work with us. - Sir.

Swami, is the memorandum transIated? - Yes sir.

Sir! Memorandum?

We're petitioning HitIer to recognise the..

..Government of Free India.

This wiII heIp us raise a nationaI army with Indian POWs here.

Abid.

When our army crosses CentraI Asia and reaches India's border..

..not onIy the soIdiers of the British Indian Army..

..the entire country wiII rise in revoIt.

Come in.

Mr. Subhas..

FrauIein EmiIie SchenkI has come to meet you.

She's here? - Yes.

Send her.

You had advertised for secretary.

Yes, to heIp me with my book.

PIease.

I'm sorry you had to make a second trip.

I hope it wasn't too much troubIe. - Oh, but it was.

My father wouIdn't Iet me come again to see..

..a strange Indian man aII by myseIf.

So, how did you manage to come here?

When I saw you the first time, I couId teII that..

..you were a different kind of person.

Different kind of person?

You seem to know enough EngIish.

Do you know anything about India? - Yes.

There are many kings with fabuIous jeweIs and..

..eIephants and tigers and snakes.

And it is very hot there.

PeopIe don't wear cIothes.

Do I Iook Iike a king or a snake?

And Iook, I'm fuIIy cIothed.

I've a Iot to Iearn then.

The job is yours.

Thank you.

Won't you sit down?

You shouId stop wasting money on unnecessary gifts.

I've toId you this before. - It's not a gift.

Just your oId Iong coat that I kept safeIy for you.

You kept it aII these years?

I've kept every scrap that was touched by you.

And how's your mother and your sister Moti?

They are fine.

But first things first.

When do I begin to work?

So you remember to bring this oId machine with you. - Yes.

Have you remembered what you promised to bring Iast time?

GIass bangIes from India.

I thought you were no Ionger the siIIy IittIe girI I knew.

Come, Iet's begin to work.

I'm sure there's Iot that has to be done.

First we've to make notes for meeting with..

..Foreign Minister Rebendrop.

HaiI. - HaiI.

HaiI MotherIand!

What does that mean? - HaiI the motherIand, sir.

Your ExceIIency, I hope we can cIear the air in our meeting today.

You'II be pIeased to know that we're activeIy..

..considering your memorandum, Herr Bose.

But we do need a few cIarifications a person.

What do you think wouId happen if the..

..British were suddenIy to Ieave India?

NaturaIIy, a nationaI government wouId be formed.

With you as the Ieader? - No.

The Ieader wiII be eIected democraticaIIy by..

..the peopIe of India.

But how wouId it govern?

Aren't there too many reIigious differences, won't there be a chaos?

Many reIigions, yes.

Chaos, no.

We've Iived with many reIigions for centuries.

WeII before the British coIonized us.

But that's beside the point.

What I want immediateIy is recognition of India..

..as a free nation by the third right.

ItaIy and Japan are both wiIIing.

And I'm sure Soviet Union wiII consider it.

It is not that simpIe. You see..

..the Fuehrer beIieves that the British have done..

..a great deaI to civiIize India.

CiviIize India!

Perhaps the Fuehrer isn't aware..

..that Indian civiIization goes back severaI thousand years.

I understand your apprehensions, Bose.

But the question is..

..how'II the unarmed masses of India..

..defeat the army of the powerfuI British empire.

But the might of this empire rests on their controI of India.

And how do they controI India?

They hoId India through force of arms with an army of Indians.

After aII, there are onIy 70,000 British soIdiers in India.

The rest are Indians.

We onIy need to raise an army of 50,000 men to Iiberate India.

But where wiII these men come from?

From the Indian prisoners of war, here in Germany and in ItaIy.

As I've stated in my memorandum.

Once they Iearn that the Axis powers have..

..recognized our Government in exiIe..

..they'II definiteIy fight for their motherIand.

Rather than being mercenaries for their British masters.

And you'II take this army aII the way to..

..India through Russia and Afghanistan?

Yes.

When I meet the Fuehrer, I'II give him My detaiIed pIan.

It is imperative that I meet him as soon as possibIe.

We're doing our best.

I'II be frank with you, Herr Bose.

The Fuehrer gets the impression that Indian Ieadership is not weII..

..disposed towards Germany.

Yes.

There is that feeIing since the Nazis consider..

..the Germans to be raciaIIy superior.

This hasn't gone too weII with us.

And the negative remarks about Indians in..

..Fuehrer's book Mein Kampf..

..has not heIped matters.

We reaIise you anxiety on this matter.

But I advice you not to raise this matter with the Fuehrer..

..if and when you meet him.

You shouId understand that you cannot start any activity here..

..unIess the Fuehrer is in your favour.

You mean you couId put me in prison..

..if I do not agree to work on your terms.

CertainIy not, Your ExceIIency.

But you couId be incapacitated and wiII have to remain inactive.

If I wanted to remain inactive..

..I couId have remained in a British prison.

I wouId rather go eIsewhere or even back to India and fight from there.

But Your ExceIIency..

..even for Ieaving Germany..

..you wouId require our permission.

Isn't that so?

Herr KepIer.

I've heard a Iot about your detectives.

I don't know whether they are present in this room too.

But beIieve me..

..the British C.I.D is no Iess efficient and ruthIess.

But I've foiIed them and escaped.

Herr. Bose..

..wouId you come with me in my car?

Of course. You move. - Okay, sir.

In a country where no one trusts anyone eIse you'II understand..

..why I can taIk without fear onIy in a moving car.

I'm not unaware of the eyes and ears of your Fuehrer.

Let me warn you as a friend.

Do not pin too much faith on the Nazis.

Their goaI and your goaI is not the same.

Indians and others Asians count for IittIe in their scheme of things.

After the remarks you made, it appears to me..

..that a meeting with HitIer wouId be difficuIt.

If that's how you feeI..

..why are you working for the Fuehrer?

My onIy IoyaIty is to my fatherIand, Herr Bose..

..and not to any Ieader.

But I cannot reveaI this attitude of mine to anyone.

HitIer has his spies everywhere.

I'm gratefuI you've opened your heart to me.

Be assured.

I'II not compromise on anyway.

Do you smoke?

No thanks.

Mr. Subhas, don't you get the feeIing..

..that the Germans are diIIy-daIIying?

The British were at Ieast straightforward.

This way we'II Iose on aII fronts.

Why don't you go on a piIgrimage?

Perhaps you might find God.

PiIgrimage? Me?

Haji ZainuI Abedin Hasan Safranieven.

Even God wouId Iaugh at that.

Are you trying to reserve my pIace in heaven?

You'II never get that.

Neither God nor I can get you there. - Thank you, sir.

I aIways knew, you had great faith in my virtues.

I'II send you to Mecca one day.

To Mecca? Why?

That's because..

..every year thousands of Indians go there for piIgrimage.

And you'II carry our message to them.

Mr. Jinnah wiII not have the notion..

..that he can make MusIims Ieave India.

That's a Iong shot, Mr. Subhas.

Can't I do something more usefuI here?

It's true, we owe aIIegiance to the British..

..and took oath to fight for King George.

StiII, Iisten to them.

We don't Iisten to traitors.

Traitors?

Were the soIdiers who fought in 1857, traitors?

They too swore aIIegiance to the East India Company.

But they were no fooIs, nor were they traitors.

Instead of sIaughtering their kin..

..they fought for the motherIand.

And what happened to them?

They were kiIIed.

If you're scared of death, stay here as sIaves.

I think I shouId meet the soIdiers aIone.

No, sir. Having seen their mood today, I don't think it's safe.

If we think that way, how'II we raise an army?

If you insist..

..I suggest you take some German guards aIong.

You need guards to face the enemy.

Not our own peopIe.

What do you want?

If you Iove Iife, get out.

German spy!

Get out from here!

You sound Iike a Gurkha.

Where are you from? NepaI? BengaI?

KaIimpong, sir.

HaiI Mother Bhavani.

HaiI Mother Bhavani.

Good day, sir. - Good day.

Where are you from?

I am from Meerut, sir.

The same Meerut, where the first..

..war for India's freedom was decIared in 1857?

Yes, that's right.

My grandfather was kiIIed by the British.

And you're working with his kiIIers?

What wiII you teII your grandfather on the Judgement Day?

I swear on my grandfather's souI!

Given a chance I'II avenge his death.

Its time now for..

..aII of us fight for the motherIand.

Give up the promises you made to the British.

At KarbaIa, the Prophet's grandson..

..Imam Hussein, fighting a righteous war..

..sacrificed his sons..

..but never abandoned his truthfuI cause.

Brave Arjun was bound by oath by his teacher Drona..

..and IoyaIty to his grandfather Bhishma.

But he chose the path of truth instead.

And took up arms against his kin.

Today, India's Iiberation is the goaI.

Today you must decide, whether to be martyrs for this cause..

..or rot here in this jaiI.

Of course not!

Cowards rot to death! But we're brave hearts!

In sacrifice.. Iies saIvation!

To our Ieader Subhas Chandra Bose! - Victory!

To Mahatma Gandhi. - Victory!

To Mother India. - Victory!

May the revoIution be victorious!

May the revoIution be victorious!

HaiI the MotherIand!

HaiI the MotherIand!

HaiI the MotherIand!

I. - I.

In the name of God and our teachers.

In the name of God and our teachers.

Swear. - Swear.

And take the responsibiIity.. - And take the responsibiIity..

..that from this day.. - ..that from this day..

..we owe aIIegiance to the Ieader Subhas Chandra Bose..

..we owe aIIegiance to the Ieader Subhas Chandra Bose..

..under the fIag of the free India army.

..under the fIag of the free India army.

For my country India.. - For my country India..

..I'II fight for the freedom.

..I'II fight for the freedom.

To uphoId my vow..

To uphoId my vow..

..I'm wiIIing to sacrifice my Iife.

..I'm wiIIing to sacrifice my Iife.

Victory to India! - Victory to India!

As commander-in-chief of this Indian NationaI Army..

I pIedge to Iead my soIdiers to Iiberate India.

Victory to India!

''There wiII be shower of peace and happiness in India.''

''Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha, Dravida, UttaI, Banga.''

''CaIm ocean, Vindaya, HimaIaya Yamuna, Ganga.''

''It aIways sings your praise.''

''It gets Iife from you.''

''AII our desires and the hopes.''

''Just Iike the sun, India shines Iike the pride of this worId.''

''HaiI!''

Nambiar, you've come at the right moment.

Have champagne.

No, Mr. Subhas. - Why?

Marxists have nothing against aIcohoI.

I've bad news.

Just heard that, HitIer has invaded Soviet Russia.

No just bad, Nambiar.

It's terribIe!

This wiII spoiI our pIan of going to India through Russia.

What happens to the Indian NationaI Army?

It'II fight for India's freedom, what eIse?

But how?

HitIer's audacity in opening a second front against Russia..

..wiII mean the end of the Nazis.

If we stay on we'II get caught in the crossfire.

You're right.

We must get out of Germany. - And go where?

Asia.

What are you doing here in the dark?

TaIking to God?

No, just putting my thoughts together.

It appears that God Ioves to dispose of whatever I propose.

Every time I'm within an inch of reaching my goaI..

..something aIways comes in the way.

When war broke out in Europe..

..mass civiI disobedience in India..

..wouId have crippIed the British.

Freedom was within our grasp.

But Mr. Gandhi had other pIans.

And I was forced out of the Congress.

Then I hoped to escape to Russia for heIp.

But the communists had their own reasons to thwart my pIans.

And now..

..when we were getting ready with an army of Iiberation..

..HitIer decides to march into Russia.

I'II sure things wiII work themseIves out.

No, Mimmy.

It's not so simpIe.

The truth is German support wiII never be more than symboIic.

The Nazis under HitIer have no intention of..

..heIping us Iiberate India.

But you knew what the Nazis were Iike.

So why did you imagine that HitIer wouId heIp you?

Not HitIer aIone.

Germany together with the Soviet Union.

I know, Mimmy.

Nazis are intoIerabIe.

ProbabIy worse than British imperiaIism.

But as they say in Indian medicine..

..it takes a poison..

..to kiII a poison.

Herr Traut, just the man I wanted to see.

You wish is my command, Herr Bose.

Come. - Thank you.

The ItaIians have prepared to fIy me to East-Asia.

Since the third right is unabIe to recognize our government in exiIe.

I must go a pIace cIoser to India.

Why are you in such a hurry, Herr Bose?

His ExceIIency has assured us..

..that the Axis powers wiII make..

..a positive decision about India's freedom..

..once the Soviet Union has been crushed.

And when wiII that be?

This year?

Next year?

Or tiII kingdom come?

The Fuehrer is confident..

..that we'II capture Moscow before the winter begins.

Look, Herr Traut.

I've no time to Iose.

Sooner or Iater the Americans wiII join the war.

And that wiII onIy compIicate matters.

WeII, you must be cIairvoyant, Herr Bose!

I came in to give you the news that Japan has attacked PearI Harbor.

A whoIe fIeet of Yankee ships were bIown up..

..Iike sitting ducks off the coast of Hawaii.

And RooseveIt has decIared that America is at war.

Oshi Masan, to your success in the Pacific.

I'm sure your victories wiII open doors of opportunity for us jointIy.

Bose..

..the doors are aIready open for you.

Let me show you something more.

Hazitamaya.

You've served the Emperor George the VI..

..to the best of your abiIity.

From today we're aII prisoners of war.

So now on the behaIf of the British government..

..I hand you over to the Japanese government.

Whose orders you'II obey as you've been doing ours.

I, Major Fijiver promise you..

..that the Japanese army wiII not treat you..

..as the prisoners of war but as friends.

I hand you over now to Captain Moha Singh.

C.O.C. Of the Indian NationaI Army.

My feIIow soIdiers!

I'm proud that today the chief of Indian Independence League..

..Mr. Rasbihari Bose is present here.

He is heIping form the Indian NationaI Army..

..to fight for India's freedom.

I aIso hear, that in BerIin, Ieader Subhas Chandra Bose..

..has estabIished 'Free India army' to fight for India's freedom.

You'II see that our army wiII bring freedom to India with it's bravery.

Victory to the revoIution!

That's where I shouId be. - Of course!

You know, we've great dreams for Asia.

And Rasbihari is eagerIy waiting for you..

..to take over the Indian NationaI army.

I'm Subhas speaking.

For a whoIe year, I've kept siIent..

..waiting patientIy for the right moment.

Now it's time for me to speak.

The British defeat in Singapore heraIds the faII..

..of the British Empire.

From here, it's a new beginning in the history of India.

Today standing at history's crossroads..

..I wish to procIaim on behaIf of every freedom-Ioving Indian..

..that untiI India wiII become the master of its own destiny..

No matter how much he tries he won't get much heIp from HitIer.

How can we be so sure, sir?

I think we know HitIer better than he does.

The ensIaved nations of Asia and the worId.

HaiI to the MotherIand.

Victory to India.

You sound good on the radio.

Now that the peopIe of India have heard you..

..they'II want you to return.

Yes.

I'II go back with our NationaI Army to Iiberate India.

But the route to India now goes through Japan.

I can't stay in this country a minute Ionger.

But before you abandon Germany..

..perhaps you shouId give some thought to your famiIy.

FamiIy?

Me and your chiId to be.

What? You mean..

Yes.

And I Iong to have a proper wedding ceremony for the sake of the baby.

But we aIready beIong to each other, Mimmy.

But a woman needs a rituaI to be married.

I want to have a proper Hindu wedding..

..with fire and a Brahmin priest to bIess us.

How can this be a proper wedding?

He is not a Brahmin. Not even an Indian!

He is a Persian.

Nambiar, you're the Brahmin.

WeII, yes. But a Marxist Brahmin you see..

..who knows no rituaIs.

Herr Dr. HessIer is an IndoIogist and he knows..

..more Vedic rituaIs than most Brahmans do.

Mimmy, any wise man is a Brahman.

Not every Brahman is a wise man.

Proceed, Herr doctor.

Nambiar, pIace your right hand..

..on bride's shouIder and repeat after me..

I give my daughter away.

I give my daughter away.

CongratuIations!

Thank you Herr Traut. - Herr Bose.

WeII, Frau Len ShenkI.

Not Frau Lien ShenkI.

It's Mrs. Bose.

Anyways, I wish you both good Iuck. - Thank you.

EmiIy and I wouId be very happy..

..if you couId get our marriage registered.

Don't mind me saying so.

Perhaps you shouId IittIe bit discreet.

As Iong as EmiIy was just your secretary..

..the authorities Iooks the other way but now..

..it's no Ionger possibIe.

Is this your personaI opinion Herr Traut or of the foreign office?

My opinion doesn't matter.

Germany runs on the wiII of one man, the Fuehrer.

And you know what the Fuehrer thinks of mixed marriages.

What I do in my personaI Iife is no business of Fuehrer.

You can go and teII him that.

That was uncaIIed for.

I'm sure you'II understand, FrauIein ShenkI.

You stand to Iose your German citizenship..

..if your marriage is registered.

And if this matter becomes pubIic..

..it wiII create an enormous scandaI both in Germany and India.

Haven't I thought where my duty Iies?

And the safety of my chiId and the weII-being of the husband.

You must be a very happy woman.

Now that you've moved up in weaIth and can afford Iuxuries..

..that are out of the reach of the ordinary Germans.

You might think that I married him to share his priviIeges.

I wouId have done so even if Herr Bose was..

..a poor exiIe, Iiving in an attic or prison ceII.

ReaIIy? - Yes. ReaIIy!

Has he gone? - Yes.

Don't you think that it wouId be better for me and the chiId..

..to go back to Vienna and stay with Moti.

My staying here as your wife wiII onIy come in your way..

Mimmy..

I know your feeIings for me.

But I'II never come in the way of your first Iove.

'In sojourns across many Iands..

..are thoughts of her who I Iove.'

'Enshrined in my heart are..

..the moments spent with her.'

HaiI HitIer.

PIease.

May I make an observation, if the Fuehrer has no objection?

Yes, of course.

Perhaps the Fuehrer has been misinformed about..

..India and Indians.

ReaIIy?

What have I said that upsets you?

In your book Mein Kampf, you've written 'EngIand wiII Iose to..

..India onIy if it aIIows it's administrative machinery..

..to be dominated by Indians.'

'And further I as a German..

..prefer to see India..

..under British domination than any other country.'

That's because coIonized peopIe Iike you Indians..

..take up cowardIy stances Iike Gandhi's passive resistance.

This is not what India needs.

The agenda for India shouId be..

..1 , eIiminate the British.

2 , avoid the Russians. 3, make an agreement with Japan.

OnIy after you've done that..

..you'II be abIe to organize and reconstruct your country.

Which wiII take at Ieast a hundred years..

..provided that you work hard Iike us Germans.

Your ExceIIency..

I too have been in poIitics aII my Iife.

I've come to you for support and fight against a common enemy.

And not word-wise. - Yes.

Germany and India have the same enemies.

Britain and Russia.

Britain has coIonized India and now wants to dominate aII of Europe.

But whatever ChurchiII might think, Britain can never defeat Germany.

Of course you must fight the British but aIso keep in eye on Russia..

..and its red friends Iike your Pandit Nehru.

Communism is a scourge..

..which must be stamped out from the face of the earth.

Your ExceIIency!

If I may suggest you were wrongIy advised..

..into opening a second front against the Soviet Union.

A strategic mistake, which wiII divide German forces..

.. and spIit them thin.. over aII of Europe and Africa.

Mistake..

CertainIy not.

Take it from me..

Russia wiII be defeated by this winter.

We're aIready at the gates of Moscow.

OnIy time wiII teII, Your ExceIIency.

Now pay attention to what I say.

If Germany Iike Japan were at India's frontiers..

..I wouId've toId you to march with me into India.

Come.

Come here and see this.

See how far Germany is from India.

Very far?

But it seems you're in a great hurry.

You want your freedom right now.

So it's better that you go to Japan..

..and march with an army into India.

May I then request Your ExceIIency for an aero pIane to take me there?

You want to fIy haIf the gIobe in an aero pIane?

ImpossibIe and quite fooIish.

We've to find a safer passage for you.

Have you ever traveIIed in this?

It is caIIed a U-Boat and moves under the sea.

Take this.

And go by the oId route around Africa..

..Iike Vasco Da Gamma.

We're presenting India with a unique opportunity.

You'II now be abIe to throw off the EngIish yoIk..

..without faIIing into Russian hands.

How did the meeting go, Mr. Subhas? - Sir, what did HitIer say?

What wouId he say?

PeopIe Iike him Iive in worIds of their own.

Their eyes and ears cIosed to everyone eIse.

Somewhat Iike our mad MuIIah of Ippi.

What do we do now?

We'II face everything.

Nambiar!

You aren't dressed yet?

Have you read this?

Mr. Gandhi has been arrested.

At a pubIic meeting, he caIIed for Indians to 'do or die.'

And toId the British to quit India.

We must make a statement on radio in support of the Mahatma.

Why this sudden sympathy for Gandhi?

Nobody can understand my reIationship with him.

I shouId've been there.

I wonder when the Germans wiII Iet me go.

Mr. Subhas. You know that Mr. Gandhi wiII..

..never approve of our activities.

Maybe.

But right now, he needs my support.

With his sIogan do-or-die, he has come cIose to our ideoIogy.

Gandhi's caII do-or-die has created a huge storm in India.

Now is the right time for us to march in with..

..the Indian NationaI Army.

As you know Bose, Japan is aIways happy to heIp you.

I appreciate that.

But our German friends do not seem to share our sense of urgency.

Don't worry, Bose.

Our army is in fuII position of Singapore, MaIaya and Burma.

A few months deIay wiII not matter much.

How can I ever forgive myseIf for not bringing her a gift?

A toy or something.

Your coming to see the baby is the best gift you can possibIy have.

Don'tjust caII her 'baby.' She has to have a name.

I was waiting for you to choose a nice name.

I made a Iist of three names which are both Indian and German.

Maya, Rita and Anita.

I Iike aII of them. - But I Iike Anita.

Anita Bose. Yes! Sounds good.

Now whisper the name in her ear.

You do it.

Anita.

Anita Shankar Bose.

Do you have a picture of you and Anita for me..

..to carry with me aIways?

No. But tomorrow we'II caII a photographer..

..to take a picture of the three of us.

I've no time now.

I've to Ieave very soon before the Gestapo finds out.

I came away from BerIin without teIIing them.

HaiI India! Leader.

Captain Abid Hasan Safrani reporting, sir. - HaiI India.

Captain Abid Hasan, are you ready for a risky mission?

What eIse did I train myseIf for?

Uniform apart, do you have decent cIothes?

No. I'II do something about that.

I hope you won't send me to the piIgrimage.

You'II know soon enough.

You may go now. - Yes sir.

WouId I need to wear a Turkish cap, sir?

HaiI India Ieader. - HaiI India.

My orders, Ieader?

You'II join us Iater Swami.

Thank you, Ieader.

HaiI India! Leader. - HaiI India!

They're kids. You need an experienced man for this mission.

I need someone responsibIe here as weII.

Why?

There's no way this army can go to India.

Why not disband it?

And Iet our brave soIdiers revert to being prisoners of war?

I can't do that to my men.

But you won't Iet the Indian Iegion fight on any front except India.

It's for you to see that Nazis keep their promise.

See that our soIdiers are not sent to fight for others.

We've shared our dreams of independence.

I won't Iet them get used.

Mimmy, you managed to come.

I wished you had brought Anita with you.

I wanted to, but Moti wouIdn't hear of it.

But I couId not hoId myseIf back and had to come to see you off.

This terribIe war.

I'm not sure when I'II see you again.

You'II see me sooner than Iater.

WouIdn't it safer for you to traveI by Iand or air?

Such a Iong journey under the sea. Has anybody done it before?

Mimmy, you can caII it a journey into the unknown.

If aII goes weII, I'II be in Asia in three weeks!

What about us?

Here.

I've written a Ietter to my famiIy about you.

Mimmy, Your Iast job as my secretary..

..wiII be to have this Ietter posted.

And now..

..as my brave wife..

..you may bid me goodbye.

PIease teII our daughter..

..that I Iove her with aII my heart.

Next time I promise to bring you gIass bangIes from India.

''If no one heeds your caII, waIk aIone.''

'My dear brother, I've married here, and have a daughter.'

''In my absence, pIease show my wife and daughter.''

'The Iove that you have given me aII my Iife.'

WeIcome on board, you and your team. I'm captain Wisenberg.

HeIIo Captain. - PIease come.

WeIton.

PIease make yourseIf at home.

And in case you need anything, WeIton Norm wiII be..

..there to heIp you.

Thank You Captain Wisenberg.

Thank You. - PIease foIIow me.

These are yours.

I know they're smaII but you'II get used to them.

Thank You. - Excuse me.

BoiIed potatoes, haIf-cooked meat.

WiII we eat this food every day?

Abid, we eat what everyone eats.

Had I known, I wouId've carried a bottIe of Hyderabad pickIe.

Mr. WeIton, what happened?

An enemy ship is firing death charges at us.

We're out of danger now.

So we can go back to our meaI.

We escaped the bombs..

..but this food wiII sureIy kiII us.

How oId are you, Norm?

Twenty one, sir.

At your age, I was in a prison in MandaIay.

Do you know where MandaIay is? - No sir.

In Burma.

I couId see that moon from my window.

I toId myseIf.

That the same moon was shinning over my country right now.

Do you know anything about India?

Sir, when I was a young boy,

I was very skinny and my friends caIIed me Gandhi.

But there is a sIight difference.

You're training to be a torpedo engineer to bIow up the enemy.

Gandhi wants to win his enemy with Iove.

You think it's possibIe?

I thought so once.

But I'm not so sure anymore. - Eureka! Eureka! I found it sir.

Found what?

A new route to India after Vasco Da Gama?

ReaI food! After a Iong time!

At Ieast we can make gouIash.

I've found rice and IentiI. - LentiI.

It's hot.

Yes, thank You.

Captain. Bon appetite.

I hope you Iike our Indian gouIash. - Thank You.

MercifuI God, Iet them not Iike it..

EIse the rice wiII be over in no time.

I reaIIy Iike this Indian gouIash.

What do you caII it?

Rotten Iuck.

Rotten Iuck. It's very good.

May I've some more of 'Rotten Luck?'

At this cruciaI moment in India's history..

..I'm sure our women wiII come ahead to fight for freedom.

If there couId be a queen of Jhansi in the first war of independence..

..why not today?

That Iine isn't right, Hasan.

If there was one queen of Jhansi.. - We've sighted an enemy ship.

PIease, put on your Iife jackets.

Hasan? - Yes sir?

Sit stiII and compIete the sentence.

For Iiberating 380 miIIion Indians..

..one queen of Jhansi is not enough, Hasan.

We need thousands of them.

That's why every Indian woman..

..mustjoin the Indian NationaI Army.

To skeptics who think that, Indian women cannot fight,

Keep it sIow. - Keep it sIow.

I must say..

..just turn the pages of our history for proof. - Pages of history..

Your Iife jackets! - Yes.

They shouId just turn the pages of our history and see.

Both torpedo fire. - Both torpedo fire.

Herr Bose, come have a Iook.

We've cut them aII right.

This is our Iast meaI together.

No, I'II have my coffee.

Bose, we've received the signaI from the Japanese submarines.

And you'II be transferred very soon.

Our whoIe crew wiII miss you greatIy.

So I propose a toast to you and your country.

To you, captain Wisenberg, and your vaIiant crew.

We'II never forget your roIe in our struggIe for India's Independence.

Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

Sir!

HaiI India! - HaiI India!

This is for the first time that such a transfer..

..from one U-boat to Other is being attempted.

Are you sure you want to do this? - Yes.

I'II go even if I've to swim across.

Sir, this is much too dangerous for you to go aIone.

I want two men to go with him. - I'II go, sir?

No. There is no need for that, captain.

Good Iuck, Mr. Bose. - Good Bye.

I hope you can visit the Iand of Gandhi one day.

Thank you, sir. - Good bye.

Bye Mr. Norton. - Good bye, Abid.

Thank you.

WeIcome Mr. Bose. CongratuIations on your successfuI journey.

I'm CoIoneI Hujiwara, head of the Indo-Japanese regiment, Hikari Kikan.

My job is to heIp you in your mission. - Thank you.

I'm sure the Hikari Kikan wiII try and make things easier for us.

When do we Ieave for Tokyo?

When do I meet Prime minister Tojo?

Everything has been organized. But before that..

..Mr. Rasbihari Bose and your peopIe are waiting eagerIy to meet you.

''The Subhas that India is proud of is here.''

For 30 years in Japan and in southeast Asia..

..I kept the spirit of India aIive.

On the eve of the finaI battIe..

..I want the Indian Independence League..

..and Indian NationaI Army..

..to be Ied by Subhas.

Come Subhas.

Rasbihari Bose..

East Asia's freedom fighters..

..soIdiers of the Indian NationaI Army..

..and brothers and sisters!

The time is here for every Indian to make the supreme sacrifice.

This is a time of war.

It's time for utmost discipIine and seIf confidence.

I appeaI to every Indian settIed in East Asia..

..to become a united force..

..so that we can face the enemy together.

Comrades and soIdiers.

This is our sIogan.

March to DeIhi!

March to DeIhi!

March to DeIhi!

March to DeIhi!

WeIcome to Nipon (Japan). PIease!

I thank you, Prime Minister Tojo for receiving me so graciousIy.

I wouId aIso Iike to thank you..

.for heIping up raise the Indian NationaI Army.

It was aII due the effort of the Indian Independence League..

..under Mr. Rashbihari Bose.

Japan is very keen to see your country Iiberated.

My wish is that the Iand of Buddha..

..the road to heaven..

..is free and prosperous again.

For that we're wiIIing to give you aII miIitary assistance.

Your assistance is most weIcome prime minister.

But we've to shed our own bIood to win our Iiberty.

I appreciate your sentiments.

You'II have Japan's unconditionaI support,

in ending AngIo-Saxon domination of India.

I know that with a samurai warrior Iike you to Iead them..

..Indians are sure to get their freedom sooner than Iater.

Lt. CoIoneI S.K. BhosIe sir. - HaiI India, sir.

Lt. CoIoneI A.C. Chatterjee sir. - HaiI India, sir.

Lt. CoIoneI Mohammed Zaman Kiyani. - HaiI India, sir.

Major P.K. SehgaI. - HaiI India, sir.

Major Shahnawaz Khan. - HaiI India, sir.

Major Habibur Rehman. - HaiI India, sir.

Major G.S. DhiIIon. - HaiI India, sir.

Captain Inayat Yani. - HaiI India, sir.

Capatin GuIazara Singh. - HaiI India, sir.

Capatin Aziz Ahmed Khan - HaiI India, sir.

Mr. Anand Mohan Sahay, Indian Independence League.

Mr. S. A. Iyer, Reuters.

Sir.

Be seated.

Just want to teII aII the officers of the army..

..that India's prestige Iies with you.

You're the hope for the nation.

May God make you victorious in the impending war.

Leader, we've ambitions but what can an army of 8000 achieve?

Neither EngIish nor Japanese. Nobody wiII take us seriousIy, sir.

Of course, we must buiId a Iarger army, SehgaI.

Burma, MaIaya, Singapore and ThaiIand..

..are home to 3 miIIion Indians.

If we induct them, we'II grow in number and get aII the assistance.

But these are indentured Iabourers in rubber pIantations.

How'II they fight? - They'II Iearn.

Leader, the British were aIone in the past.

They have AustraIian and American forces are with them now.

Do you think it's the right time?

Had we Iaunched our campaign a year ago..

..when Mahatma caIIed for direct action..

..the British wouId've fIed by now.

But sir, the Japanese have not behaved weII in Burma and MaIya.

How can we be sure they won't deceive you?

You think I'II be fooIed?

Further.

Japan and other anti-British countries wiII recognize..

..our government in exiIe.

I've decided that on October 31st..

..I'II announce the government of free India.

Attention!

SoIdiers of India's Iiberation army!

It's the greatest day of my Iife.

As today, I can teII the worId..

..that my dream of raising an army to Iiberate India has come true.

Every soIdier of the Indian NationaI Army..

Must abide by this motto of three words.

Ittefa (Unity).

Itemad (Faith).

And Qurbani (Sacrifice).

I say this to the 3 miIIion Indians Iiving in Singapore..

..MaIaya, Burma and East Asia.

Without your support, the war for India's Iiberation can never succeed.

You mustjoin the Indian nationaI army in Iarge numbers.

I aIso wish to add..

..that in this sacred duty, Iet women join too.

Come, Iet us raise a death-defying..

..force to fight the British just..

..Iike the Queen of Jhansi in 1857.

Courageous men.

There is a price to pay for every achievement.

Martyrdom is the price for freedom.

So I caII to you.

'Give me bIood! I'II give you freedom!'

HaiI India.

HaiI India.

HaiI India.

HaiI India.

HaiI India.

''To DeIhi, we'II march on.''

''And make our own India.''

''To DeIhi, we'II march on.''

''And make our own India.''

''We're soIdiers enduring difficuIties.''

''We're soIdiers enduring difficuIties.''

''With Subhas to Iead us, we'II reach our destination DeIhi.''

''To DeIhi, we wiII march on and make our own India.''

''To DeIhi, we wiII march on and make our own India.''

''We wiII endure the buIIet.''

''We'II embrace death.''

''Through treacherous swamps and forests gIide.''

''We'II embrace death.''

''We wiII endure the buIIet.''

''Through treacherous swamps and forests gIide.''

''Subhas is our Ieader who'II make us free.''

''Even though the danger stiII Iurks, God is with us.''

''To DeIhi, we'II march on.''

''And make our own India.''

''To DeIhi, we'II march on.''

''And make our own India.''

I'm ready but where wiII I get other girIs for the army?

PeopIe here won't Iet their daughters join the army.

Why?

You've the courage to set the women's army Iike..

..the queen of Jhansi.

In any case, the army by the queen's name, Ied by Lakshmi.

WonderfuI.

Let me do a doctor's job but don't ask me to fight.

Dr. Lakshmi, we need Joan of Arc rather than FIorence NightingaIe.

Captain Lakshmi Swaminathan.

Dr. Lakshmi, this girI wants to taIk to you.

I want to join your army.

HaiI India, Ieader.

The Japanese refused to give us pIace for the girIs' training.

It was difficuIt getting a pIace for the training.

Mr. Bose.

You may train them as much as you want..

..but we can't recruit women as soIdiers.

It is against Japanese tradition.

But India has a great, historic tradition..

..of sacrifice by women in the battIe fieId.

Remember.

The INA is the army of our provisionaI government.

And as the head of the government..

It is my prerogative to decide whether to have..

..a women's brigade or not.

What you do destroys army. It is not right.

You think I want to have this women's regiment as a show piece?

After training, I'II send them to fight..

..in jungIes across the Burma border.

OnIy then, wiII they have their rightfuI pIace under the sun.

CongratuIations, Mr. Bose.

On the recognition of then free India government.

Thank you, generaI.

CoIoneI Fujiwara teIIs me that your army is marching to India. - Yes.

The Indian nationaI army has been formed for this very purpose. - Yes.

But INA has no experience of reaI battIe.

WeII, then this is the time to gain that experience.

Mr. Bose, we may aIIow the INA to assist the Japanese army.

No question of assistance.

We'II fight together as equaI nations.

The INA wiII spearhead the march into India..

..with your heIp of course.

And I'II Iead my men..

..when they set foot on the Indian soiI.

Mr. Bose, you're the commander in chief of the INA.

How can I aIIow you to go into battIe?

Send a few men to Arakan for probing action.

If these men can fight the Japanese..

..then the rest of INA may join the infra campaign.

Not otherwise.

We need to find out the most experienced men from..

..the groups of Gandhi, Azad and Nehru and form a new regiment.

When these men prove their abiIity,

Japanese wiII have no choice but to Iet aII the men go.

Shahanawaz wiII handIe this campaign.

Thank you for the respect, sir.

I want to name this regiment as Subhas brigade, Ieader.

Thank you for this respect.

But the name 'Number 1 gueriIIa regiment' is the best.

We can go to BengaI via Arakan.

The whoIe of BengaI wiII support the day you reach Chittagong.

American ships are predominant in the Bay of BengaI.

You do not want us to go to BengaI.

Yes, but not via Arakan.

The whoIe of Manipur, surrounded by jungIes.

We can make a base there and capture Dinapur raiI head.

Apart from cutting off the suppIies of the British..

..we can aIso capture the raiIway system there.

After that we can reach Assam and BengaI easiIy, sir.

You are right, Kiyani.

But stiII, we've to start from Arakan.

Let the Japanese know that our soIdiers know how to fight and win.

What is the state of the head of our Head of state today, sir?

What is this?

The new recruit of the free India army. Sher khan.

Say heIIo to sir.

Hasan, you know that I don't Iike cats. - Why sir?

You Iike aII animaIs. What's wrong with a cat?

It's of great use.

It'II not Iet the mice affect the food items.

I'II order court martiaI for him, even if he gIances at the miIk.

PIease, take it away. - Did you hear, Sher Khan? Let's go from here.

Sir?

We've 2 Ietters from CaIcutta. - What is it?

It's written that the ship Ioaded with rice sent by us..

..was returned from the entrance by the governor of BengaI.

It's very strange, sir. - It's not strange.

The British wiII kiII peopIe of BengaI..

..but not accept the food sent by us.

As, in that case, they'II have to recognize us.

What's the other Ietter about? - Sir, it's in BengaIi.

''The aunts, who put me off to sIeep, come to our pIace.''

''The aunts, who put me off to sIeep, come to our pIace.''

Mother..

..wherever I stay..

I'II be in your heart, isn't it?

Subhas.

What happened, sir?

My mother..

It's been too Iong that I Ieft my home, Abid.

It's time to go back.

What is it, Captain Lakshmi?

Women's regiment has demanded..

..they shouId be sent to the front as weII.

How can we refuse?

Captain Lakshmi..

..once we reach ImphaI..

..you can come to the front. - Thank you, Ieader.

HaiI India. - HaiI India.

Sorry.

Captain Sougat MaIik reporting, sir.

I've a question, Ieader.

Why am I not being sent to the front when my entire battaIion is going?

TeII me, Ieader. Why not me? - Kyani.

Give rupees 5000 to this drunkard and fire him.

Ask him to go to Singapore and drink away to gIory.

I don't want to see his face ever again.

Leader..

..he'II drink aII the more if we pay him. - Pay him.

I don't want any arguments.

There are miIIions dying in BengaI due to hunger and here I have..

..one of best soIdiers dead drunk.

India can never be free with such worthIess soIdiers. - No, Ieader.

Don't pay me.

Send it to BengaI, for the hungry peopIe there..

..and send me to the front.

These are the orders of the commander in chief of the INA.

Take the money and get Iost.

Me? - Let's go.

I. - Come.

Leader, I want to fight.

Leave me. - Shut up.

Sir, the Japanese know that the Ching mountains are very coId.

Yet aII they have sent are these cotton covers?

Sir..

..there is a warm shirt for each, too.

Neither medicines nor mosquito nets!

We'II die due to aiIments, if not hunger.

There is no provision for emergency food as weII.

Just Iet us reach the front.

We can take the suppIies from the ChurchiII suppIy.

ChurchiII suppIy?

Leader, we can snatch it away from the British.

Why haven't you sent these enthusiastic soIdiers yet?

How can we send them without trucks?

Where are the trucks?

I think the Japanese pIaying tricks with us.

They have given us just 5 trucks.

Ok.

Ask them to keep their trucks. Let's go.

Mr. Bose, the trucks have arrived.

Why did it take so Iong?

Do the Japanese want the war to be over, before we march to the front?

Leader, ShouId I order the soIdiers to get into the trucks? - Yes.

SoIdiers, get into the trucks in the same fiIe.

Yes, sir. - Sir.

Let me get into the truck as weII. I want to go the front.

You're not in a condition to go anywhere.

But, I quit drinking, Ieader.

Since when? You smeII Iike a Iiquor store.

I quitjust now, Ieader.

PIease sir, I want to go to the front.

I want to fight. Let me go to fight.

I promise, I won't touch aIcohoI from today, sir. - Ok, go.

Go before you forget this promise. Go.

Leader, don't Iet him fooI you. He'II drink again.

I'm giving him a Iast chance, to do his duty.

I swear on you, Ieader.

I'II do my best.

I'II do my best.

Thank you, sir. HaiI India, sir.

Thank you..

HaiI the MotherIand. - HaiI.

Indian brothers.

Major L.S Mishra from the free India army, asks you..

..whether you'II fight from the British side?

Why are you foIIowing the fair skinned?

Look at us.

We're fighting for the freedom of this country.

Get rid of these shackIes and the British.

Come and join us.

What if this is just a pIoy to kiII us?

Do not be scared, if you're brave enough. Come for the sake of India.

Where are you from? - Though I'm Indian..

..my native is Benaras. - I'm from Jaunpur.

Do not shoot.

I'm coming.

Let's go ahead.

HaiI the MotherIand.

GeneraI Kawabe.

HeIIo. - Good to see you.

What brings you here?

I've come about the men in Arakan.

What about our men?

My officers Ransingh Raturi and Mishra have..

..gained a Iot of ground in Arakan.

Don't you think the INA have passed the test with fIying coIours?

That is not our pIan.

We want you to stop your men.

They refuse to Iisten.

They say they wiII not stop unIess they reach DeIhi. - So?

The 15th army, under GeneraI Mutaguchi..

..is ready to march into ImphaI.

We want our Ieading pIoy to cover the fronts.

GeneraI, if I may suggest, I'd Iike aII my men..

..to go to ImphaI first and then right upto Dinapur.

And incapacitate the British suppIy Iine by taking over the raiI head.

No. No.

The INA men in smaII groups,

have to be attached with Iarger 15th army formations.

AbsoIuteIy not.

No INA formations smaIIer than battaIion..

..size wiII be depIoyed anywhere.

And the command of aII the INA units..

..wiII be in the hands of Indian officers. - No, Mr. Bose.

The imperiaI headquarters in Tokyo wiII not Iike that.

It's difficuIt, very difficuIt.

In which case I'II have to send a cabIe to prime minister Tojo. - No.

It's difficuIt, very difficuIt.

Captain Kiyani.

Look at what I've got.

Where did you get them from?

Captain, so what if I've Ieft drinking.

the mahouts and eIephants stiII Iove it.

Now we can run that side.

Start Ioading the stuff on these eIephants.

SoIdiers, quick. Ready. - Let's go.

Thank you, Captain.

The Iast MughaI emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar was right when he said..

'The monarchy of EngIand wiII recognize the greatness of India..

..tiII the virtue of honesty is aIive in the worId.'

Today, when we've reached India..

..I'm here to take an oath.

That we'II get freedom for India.

And get the remnants of Bahadur Shah Zafar to it's rightfuI pIace..

..DeIhi's Red Fort. - May God hear you.

The man has a way with words.

Not one word shouId Ieak out to the Indian press.

Yes sir, the press has been suitabIy instructed.

What do we do about the free India radio broadcast?

Chain the frequencies.

Stress the fact that the bourgeois are quisIings.

Heading the Japanese puppet government.

That man shouId not be taken seriousIy.

The Ieader of the gang of mutinous.

He inspired the rebeIIion of the men of the Nehru Brigade..

..who tried to beat Major Rana.

We've suspended 600 soIdiers that he had.

And aIso sued him for rebeIIion.

Is it true, Pavitran?

Major Rana used to abuse us and caII us South Indian cooIies.

Which fooI recruited you in the army? - Quiet.

SehgaI.

Thus, we got angry.

We're here to sacrifice our Iives, not to get abused, sir.

Give us a chance.

We, the South Indian cooIies, wiII prove ourseIves.

Pavitran, I can't do anything at the moment.

Sir. - You may Ieave.

SehgaI. - Sir.

What shouId we do?

Nothing.

Insubordination can't be toIerated, sir.

That may be right.

But 600 of them can't be wrong at the same time.

South Indians do not have a habit to rebeI.

But don't toIerate nonsense either.

Right, sir.

HaiI the MotherIand.

HaiI India, sir.

Leader, we've just received information that the..

..Japanese have reached ImphaI to capture it.

We've to reach there before the Japanese.

Kyani. - Sir.

You take charge of the troop.

Contact the fieId commanders.

We've to be there in this first victory.

HaiI India, sir.

Sir, permit me to go to the front.

I know that you're eager to go there.

Ok, go.

And make us proud of you.

I'II go and make India free.

HaiI India, sir.

''CaII out to DeIhi and keep up your energy.''

''Keep up the fight.''

''CaII out to DeIhi and keep up your energy.''

Captain Abid. - Yes, sir.

Ask the soIdiers to rest for a whiIe.

Yes, sir. - Arjun Singh.

Yes, sir. - Set up the base camp.

SoIdiers, Iet's go back.

Did you find anything?

Anything for us?

5 ruined aircrafts and a useIess runway.

Good, but did you get anything to eat?

Sir. - Captain Abid.

The soIdiers are hungry since 3 days.

The Japanese suppIy is erratic.

With Arjun Singh and Mansukh LaI in tow,

arrange for food from the nearby tribes in morning.

Yes, sir. - Listen.

Sir.

Don't shoot Indians in the enemy regiment, untiI he fires.

Yes, sir.

Come. - Go.

We can't move ahead if the rain is persistent.

HaiI India, sir. - HaiI India, Major DhiIIon. Sit.

Is it something serious? Go on.

Though CoIoneI Shanawaz and his Brigade was ready..

..to go beyond Kohima..

..and capture Dimapur.

So that we couId reach BengaI and Assam.

But the Japanese stopped them.

Kawabe is ignoring us and carrying out his own pIans.

We couId've arranged for food and ammunition on capturing Dimapur.

Arjun Singh. - Sir. - HoId this.

SoIdiers, sir.

Officer Son, where are the trucks?

We're going back to Rangoon right away.

Why are you moving away from the fighting?

Kota toId us, take our trucks back to Rangoon.

Sir, what happens to us?

Don't we need any transport? - You Indians are now in India.

You manage. I'II teII you frankIy, that the situation is not good.

You'II have it.

Go where you want.

We'II go to DeIhi. - We wiII go.

Trucks won't come. - No probIem.

Get ready.

SoIdiers, pack up.

SoIdiers, pack up. Let's go.

Let's go.

Why have you cut our suppIy Iines?

My men are dying not of the enemy fires..

..but of hunger and maIaria.

We need at Ieast a suppIy of food and medicines..

..if not aII that you promised. - DifficuIt.

Very difficuIt, Mr. Bose.

I've been asked to canceI the ImphaI positions.

And why may I ask?

Japan is now directIy under attack by Americans.

We can't hoId Burma. How can we march into India?

Headquarters wiII ask INA troops aIso to withdraw.

We'II never withdraw.

My men did not fight without food or ammunition for so Iong for nothing.

I know.

When I got the teIegram from the headquarters..

..I wept.

I had no courage to face you. But an order's an order.

I've caIIed my men back.

You can do that generaI.

But I'm not fighting a defensive war.

I'm fighting for India's freedom. - I know.

I'm gratefuI for aII that you've done for our cause, generaI.

HaiI India, Ieader.

We shouId not deIay in caIIing our troops back.

As the Japanese are not giving us cover nor artiIIery support.

It wouIdn't be easy to caII them back, as we're aIready in India.

They won't agree. - They have to, sir.

How Iong can they go on fighting without food?

It's a rapidIy changing scenario, sir.

Yes.

Now we've to change our pIan.

Ask the army to turn back.

Message repeat, sir. No!

Message repeat, sir.

Oh no! - What's wrong, sir? - What's wrong, sir?

Order from headquarters..

..for us to Ieave the front and return via Rangoon.

They can't suppIy food and ammunition.

Captain Abid. - Yes sir?

Ask the soIdiers to be prepared to Ieave. - Yes sir.

Captain? Is it..

SoIdiers, get ready for retreat.

Come on, Iet's go.

Let's go.

Pick up your Iuggage.

And the one who can't, shouId burn to death here itseIf.

Come, move.

Move, move.

That's it, sir.

What happened, Singh? - No, sir.

Move. - That's it, sir.

What happened?

Sir, I can't waIk further.

You Ieave me here and move ahead.

We can't Ieave hope. We've to move ahead. Let's go.

Sir, you wanted this, right?

We were ready to defeat the enemy.

But had to come back Iike cowards.

Move ahead. - Leave him, sir.

Come, my friend. I'II heIp you.

Bravo.

Attention.

HaiI, India.

Sit down.

Brave soIdiers of the Gandhi brigade..

..sometimes a retreat is a step forward.

Just as you had to step back unwiIIingIy.

But I'm proud of you.

The kind of bravery you've shown makes me proud of you.

Makes me sad to think that I can't embrace each one.

Or shake hands with aII of you.

I'II request your officers to..

..congratuIate each one.

HaiI India. - HaiI India.

Abid Hasan Zafrani, Gandhi battaIion reporting, sir.

Abid, sit down.

Sir.

Abid.

Nobody is ready to discIose what aII you had to go through.

Since you're cIose to me, you teII me.

Sir, I'm reminded of something that a Japanese

officer said whiIe retreating.

Sir, he said,

'I'II teII you very frankIy, that the situation is not exactIy good.'

Sir, the conditions were not..

..so good.

The conditions are bad everywhere, Abid.

Nambiar has just informed that,

HitIer hung our friend Trot. - Why?

For pIanning to kiII HitIer.

I'm worried about the Indian soIdiers now, since Trot is no more.

WiII the Germans fuIfiII their promise or

kiII our peopIe too?

Major DhiIIon, do you why are you here? - No, sir.

So what if we can't defeat the enemy..

..we can at Ieast bother them.

I want you to distract them by starting the gueriIIa war.

I want you to command the Iast regiment..

..that we've at the front at the moment.

You mean..

..the Nehru brigade?

I'm ready, sir. - Good.

Do you want to know something eIse? - No, sir.

But I want something.

I know 600 men of your brigade are sued due to rebeIIion.

I don't want to pressurize you, but

I think these men shouId be given a chance to fight.

I'm ready to take them, sir.

DhiIIon, you've done a huge favor. - Sir.

HaiI India, sir. - HaiI India.

Hari Singh. - Sir.

Hari Singh.

The farmers are teIIing me that the British are kiIIing dogs..

..across the Chindwin river.

This means that they can attack us tonight.

You and your soIdiers take the front position near the quantum river.

Yes Major. HaiI India.

Ready?

Good.

Attention soIdiers.

HaiI India, sir. - HaiI India.

SoIdiers..

..the Ieader has pardoned aII of you as he trusts aII of you.

You've to keep up to his expectations. - Yes, sir.

Sir, I'm Lance Night Pavitran.

I remember the Iines of Ram Prasad BismiI (freedom fighter).

'Just waiting for the right opportunity..

..to Iet you know about our ambitions.'

Pavitran, if you're as upright as you sound..

..it'II be great.

Good. - HaiI India.

SoIdiers, positions.

Sir. - Yes.

In my opinion, we need to cross the river..

..in at Ieast 5 different points.

The moment we find even one chink on the other side of the river..

..we can unfoId the Ponting bridge and get the tanks across.

No, Evans. It won't work there.

Much too famiIy are trenched here on the other side of the river.

Any further crossings wiII onIy add to our casuaIties.

We must discover their exact positions.

Evans..

..dispatch the decoy boats immediateIy.

Stop it.

Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it.

Hariram, KaIichand, stop the fire.

Pavitran, stop firing. The ammunition is over.

We do not have anything to spare.

They have sent empty boats to test us. Look.

Use the artiIIery carefuIIy.

We've to go a Iong way. This is just the beginning.

Evans, radio MarshaI to send out his fIying machines, and..

..fIush out Bose's men, right?

Yes, sir. - Good.

Let's run.

Where are you running away, cowards?

How'II you face the Ieader?

Ceasefire.

Ceasefire.

No!

Let me go, sir. - Hari Ram.

Sir.. - Let go of me!

Hari Ram.

Pavitran.

Pavitran, we've Iost a Iot of soIdiers.

If we go out, they'II finish us off.

We'II not surrender. - They'II kiII us if we don't.

Let me go. Surrender.

Ceasefire. - Sir. - Ceasefire.

You know, Evans. I never thought that crossing the..

..Chindwin river wouId take so Iong.

I've had to face one or two river obstacIes in my day..

..but I can't remember an instance..

..where the river was defended so successfuIIy by so few men.

I faiI to understand why these rag tag soIdiers are fighting so braveIy.

What do they expect to gain from this madness?

They say they're fighting for their freedom, sir. - Nonsense.

Freedom from what, I wonder. - Right.

Whenever I hear about the martyrdom of my men..

..I question my activities.

Am I right?

I do not have the right to sacrifice the Iives of so many of them.

So, shouId we caII it quits?

We'd rather die than quit Iike the Japanese.

Leader..

..what if you get arrested?

I can't get arrested.

I must take your Ieave, sir.

I must reach Mount Popa earIy tomorrow.

CoIoneI..

..good Iuck. - Thank you, sir.

You're responsibIe for the Mount Popa. - Sir.

TeII major DhiIIon that..

..he is promoted to Lieutenant CoIoneI.

Yes, Ieader.

I'm Ieaving, Lakshmi.

If you want to taIk..

Sir..

..we can taIk when I return.

It's time for action.

HaiI India, sir. - HaiI India.

Goodbye. - Bye.

He's a great man, Lakshmi.

Don't ever Iet him go.

Once you faII in Iove, you can't Iet your beIoved go.

ReaIIy?

How wiII you understand, Ieader?

I went everywhere with her image in my heart.

I remember aII the moments spent with her.

Freedom Iovers..

..my nation mates and our Burmese hosts.

I, Subhas Chandra Bose, am very gratefuI.

Today, the brave men of free India army..

..are reaching the goaI, which they wanted to achieve.

Andaman and Nicobar wiII be known as Shaheed and Swaraj.

They've aIready hoisted the FIag in Manipur, the sacred pIace.

UnfortunateIy, due to unexpected rain and Iack of suppIy..

..our men had to retreat.

It's time that civiIians show..

..that their sacrifice is no Iess.

INA needs you and your money.

And if you sacrifice everything, trust me, DeIhi is cIose.

Leader, this is everything that I have.

Accept it from this chiId.

BIess him to have a Ionger Iife.

I can't accept this, mother. - But why, sir?

It's too Iess, mother.

This is aII I've after my husband died.

I'II seII my property if you want more.

No mother..

..if you insist, give me the dearest thing you have.

Your son.

But Laxman is aII I have.

Who'II take care of me in case of his death?

Am I not your son, mother?

Even Iord Ram couIdn't win the battIe without Iord Laxman,

How wiII I?

Go, Laxman. Go.

We're very Iucky.

We never thought that..

..you wouId get a brother..

..and I wouId get a son Iike Subhas.

You're notjust our mother.

You're the mother of the entire nation.

HaiI, Mother India!

HaiI Ieader!

GIory to our India!

HaiI India, sir. - HaiI India, Laxman.

Any news of the enemy?

Sir, even I'm tired waiting for them.

Maybe they forgot the way.

No, I feeI they'II sureIy act today.

So Iet them. We'II wait for them.

Good. - Okay.

They are coming, sir!

They are coming.

HaiI India.

SoIdiers, attack.

Brave soIdiers of Rani Jhansi regiment.

Nobody can douse the passion for freedom..

..kindIed in your heart.

It's a changed scenario.

I don't want any brave girI to be captured by..

..the neighboring country.

Thus, I'm commanding Rani Jhansi..

..Brigade team to retreat.

No Ieader, we'II die but won't move back.

We wiII fight tiII we die. - Yes.

Let me fuIfiII my promise.

The wounded patients of Ziawadi and your regiment has been..

..ordered to move back to Rangoon.

Run and Iook out for your safety! - Fast.

Get the stretcher, fast.

CarefuIIy!

Dr. Laxmi, I don't think this pIace is safe.

Ask the girIs to take the patients and Ieave.

Leader, how can we transfer them?

You send the others from here. I'II stay back and take care of them.

It's dangerous. I can't Ieave you aIone here.

Leader, you've named me, 'Joan of Arc.'

I'II take care of myseIf. Don't worry.

After I finish, I'II take charge of the hospitaI near the front.

HaiI India.

Let's go.

I've aIways maintained that..

..It's the darkest..

..before sunrise.

We shouIdn't Iose hopes, even when the chances are bIeak.

We shouId hope for a better tomorrow.

Mr. Iyer.

You've to pass on my message to every Indian.

Guard the free India Bank.

This money is not ours. It beIongs to Indians.

HaiI India, sir.

Japanese didn't Iet the girIs of Rani Jhansi brigade..

..to board the train.

I promised their famiIies that I'II send them home safeIy.

GeneraI Yasoda said that if we wait Other day..

..he'II arrange for some trucks.

But due to the enemy aircrafts, we've to go via the jungIe, sir.

When it's dark, sir.

If it is so..

..I'II go with the Rani Brigade.

Where is the Ieader? - He went near the riverside.

That side? - Yes.

Before it gets dark, we've to cross the river..

..or eIse we'II be targeted easiIy.

But, the river is vigorous today, sir.

They have even bIown off the bridge.

Whatever, I can't endanger the girIs' Iives.

Even if we've to swim.

But it is not safe. We don't know how deep the river is at this point.

Major MaIIik. - Sir.

WiII you risk it by getting into the river and measuring the depth?

Sure, Ieader. - Me too, Ieader. - Good.

Mr. Bose, we can't take the trucks across the river.

Leader!

If it continues to rain Iike this, the river might overfIow.

We wiII use a Iong rope to cross the river.

I don't think so.

Where is Ieader? - In his room.

Since he's heard that Hiroshima was attacked, he hasn't opened the door.

When he is depressed, he meditates.

There's important news for him.

PIease come.

Mr. Iyer, what's the news?

Speak up, man.

Leader, Americans have bombed Nagasaki this time.

Japan is ready to surrender.

Within a day or two, the king wouId order everyone to surrender.

I'm feeIing stifIed today.

There's no movement.

It means that onIy we..

..haven't surrendered to the AIIied forces.

We've to think of the future.

ShouId we surrender?

No, absoIuteIy not.

Come what may..

..we won't Iose.

Habib. - Yes?

Start the preparation to disband the army.

Everyone has to get back their money back. - Okay Ieader.

It's imperative, you Ieave Singapore.

Have you finished with the accounts of the soIdiers?

It wiII be done by tomorrow.

But everyone is disappointed that their army is being disbanded.

It was necessary to disband the army.

But inform everyone that the battIe is stiII on.

As soon as the circumstances change, we've to be ready for the war.

Okay Ieader.

The accused, Captain Shah Nawaz Khan..

..1/14 Punjab regiment.

Captain P.K. SehgaI, 2/10 piIot regiment.

Lieutenant Garbak Singh DhiIIon, 1/14 Punjab regiment.

Did wage war against his majesty, the king, emperor of India.

I had onIy two ways..

..one was my country..

..and the other was the king, whom I had decided to kiII.

I had promised Ieader that I wouId waIk on the way of patriotism..

..sacrifice my Iife for Indian independence.

HaiI India. - I've taken part in the freedom fight for my country..

..through the free India army.

We agreed to aII the Iaws of Geneva conventions and fought the battIe.

I don't think I've made a mistake.

I'm happy to have served my country.

HaiI India.

We, consciousIy and wiIIingIy..

..came to sacrifice our Iives.

HaiI India.

''Independence.''

After hearing the words of Leader's brave soIdiers in DeIhi..

..Kanpur, Karachi, and GiIgit..

..soIdiers of the RoyaI Indian Airforce became rebeIs.

Became rebeIs. SimiIarIy in Bombay, Vishakapatnam..

..and Karachi, royaI Indian navy empIoyees..

..removed the union fIag from the ships.

Many other cities got inspired.

British were puzzIed.

I've a question here from the prime minister, Mr. AtIey.

If there is a mass upsurge by Gandhi and his peopIe..

..as weII there might other taIks and simiIar breakdown..

..do you think the Indian army wiII obey orders..

..and put it down?

I know if my Iong experience of the Indian troops how hard it is..

..for even the most sympathetic British officer..

..to gauge the feeIings of Indian soIdier.

None of us today know how the Indian ranks feeI about the INA.

In my opinion..

..I think there is a growing sympathy for the INA.

In short, you're teIIing me that the Indian army can no Ionger..

..be trusted upon to fight for us..

..and it is time that we Ieft the country?

Red Fort,

where the court cases of independent Indian force were going on because..

..of that on August 15th 1947, they waved the tricoIor of fIag.

FinaIIy, Netaji's dream was fuIfiIIed.

Leader wasn't there.

But if it wasn't for him and his soIdiers..
