0:24I assure you, Bibi Jaan.
0:27Blood will be avenged
0:30with blood.
0:47I'm fine, dear.
0:49Your brother and I,
0:51we're both fine.
0:53You tell me.
0:55Are you okay, dear?
0:57Uncle, is that Biya sister on the phone?
0:59Give it to me, let me talk to her.
1:00Hey, don't snatch the phone.
1:02You won’t let me speak.
1:05Okay, Let's put it on the speaker.
1:06Yes, I thought the call had disconnected.
1:08Uncle, tell me, you reached the village safely, right?
1:11Biya sister, we had already arrived early in the morning yesterday.
1:14And we couldn’t reach you on the phone either.
1:16Uncle and I were very tired, so we fell asleep.
1:19You should have just messaged to say you had arrived in the morning.
1:21Uncle?
1:22the house must be in a terrible state, right?
1:24It's been closed for so many years.
1:26It is in a bad state.
1:28But don't you worry.
1:30Tayab and I will fix it up gradually.
1:35Yes, fix it up nicely.
1:36Just don't tire yourself out.
1:38You must have been tired after the journey.
1:41Biya sister, uncle's village is so far away.
1:44I don't know which corner of Kashmir it is.
1:46But this place is very beautiful. A true paradise.
1:49Let me talk. I want to talk to Biya.
1:54Biya, my child, are you okay?
1:57Mudassir keeps you happy, right?
1:59Does he take care of you, my child?
2:01Mudasir is a very good person
2:11Give him my regards.
2:13He's sending his regards to you, to both of you.
2:16Okay, take care of yourself.
2:18Goodbye.
2:21Are they well? Uncle and Tayab?
2:23Yes, yes, they are well. They've reached the village.
2:25Now they are setting up the house.
2:31Did you check the kitchen? What things do we need?
2:33Hmm, I did. I even made a list.
2:36Flour, lentils,
2:38sugar, rice, tea leaves... there's nothing.
2:40I used to live alone.
2:42I never needed it.
2:44I usually order food from outside,
2:46or just make eggs or an omelet.
2:48Just eggs?
2:51Let's do one thing. Let's go to the grocery store
2:53and get everything we need.
2:54Do we have to go now?
2:55Yes, why?
2:56Let’s go
2:58Hmm.
2:58Okay, let's go.
3:45Behind my roadside eatery, we had made a small vegetable garden.
3:50Really?
3:50We used to grow our own vegetables, fruits, and herbs right there.
3:54Wow.
3:55The joy of growing a vegetable yourself is not found in the vegetables here.
4:00I'm sure.
4:01Look, if we just toss them in without checking
4:03more than half of them are rotten. Some might have worms,
4:06so you have to be very careful.
4:09For now, we’ll manage with these less fresh vegetables.
4:12What do you think?
4:13Then, if you feel like it, you can grow vegetables in the backyard.
4:17Can I grow them?
4:18Why not? I mean, it might not be as big as your garden,
4:20but the backyard...
4:22It was a small farm.
4:23What else do you need?
4:31Here you go.
4:34Pickle of your choice.
4:36Which one do you want?
4:37Pickle? What for?
4:39I love turnip pickle with lentils and rice.
4:42My mom used to make it.
4:45Put it back.
4:48I'll make pickle for you with my own hands.
4:50Pickle?
4:51Hmm.
4:52Turnip pickle?
4:52I can make all kinds of pickles.
4:55I also make sauces and jams.
4:57Which pickle did your mother used to make?
5:01The water-based turnip pickle or the oil-based one?
5:03The oil-based one. I'll make both.
5:05Okay, then we'll have to go back.
5:07For the pickles, we need to get lemons,
5:09garlic, ginger, and many other things.
5:10Don't you need anything from here?
5:12The pickles are kept here.
5:14We'll make our own pickles at home.
5:16I need to get spices from a place that doesn't sell pre-packaged ones.
5:19I make my own spice mixes.
5:21Hmm
5:59Uncle.
6:01Child, may I come inside?
6:03Yes, of course, come in.
6:06Come.
6:28What were you doing, child?
6:30Nothing much, I was just embroidering a bedsheet
6:35and pillowcase for your bed.
6:39Look.
6:41I've also embroidered a new handkerchief for you.
6:44Another handkerchief.
6:45Yes.
6:46Do you like it?
6:49How could my child embroider a handkerchief for me and I not like it?
6:53You knit sweaters for me
6:57and have embroidered so many handkerchiefs.
7:01How much do you love me?
7:03You are worthy of love.
7:05You are my mother, my father,
7:08my everything, Uncle.
7:12If I don't love you, who will I love?
7:17Who do I have besides you two?
7:20You are my daughter and Torsam is my son.
7:27But Torsam has put me in a very difficult situation.
7:33I don't know how to get him out of this trouble.
7:37May God have mercy, Uncle.
7:39What happened to Torsam Khan?
7:43Child, you know how quick-tempered he is.
7:47In his anger, he has killed Sher Dil.
7:53A tribal council will be held,
7:54and it is possible that its decision will be a death sentence for him.
8:02And...
8:03Sarbuland Khan will definitely take revenge for his brother;
8:06he is very furious.
8:08God forbid, Uncle.
8:10There must be some solution to this problem.
8:14Uncle, please save Torsam.
8:18There is only one way to save him, child.
8:23You can help him if you want to.
8:25Just give the order.
8:27I'll do whatever it takes.
8:34Think it over.
8:36I would even give my life.
8:40I feel very ashamed even saying this.
8:49I don't know how to say it.
8:52I'm very worried because of Torsam Khan.
8:56To save him...
8:59I have to sacrifice my own daughter.
9:07Child, if you can, please save me and Torsam Khan.
9:13We will be indebted to you for life.
9:35You didn't tell me, where did your passion for cooking come from?
9:39Ayaz Uncle?
9:41And this passion for planting vegetables and fruits?
9:44I got my passion for cooking from my father.
9:47He was a cook in a hotel in Bara Gali.
9:51My mother was from Azad Kashmir;
9:53after getting married, she also moved to Bara Gali.
9:56Tayab and I were both born in Bara Gali.
10:00Our father passed away right after Tayab was born,
10:03so ever since then, our uncle left his village
10:07and came to live with us.
10:09I'm sorry. It must have been very painful for you,
10:13losing your father at such a young age.
10:16I was seven, so I remember him a little.
10:21Tayab never even saw him.
10:23But Uncle never let us feel his absence.
10:28He took great care of us and gave us a lot of love.
10:31My mother was widowed at a very young age.
10:33From then on, Uncle became our support.
10:37You know, he never even married because of us.
10:41Ayaz Uncle is a very good person.
10:43Honest and sincere.
10:45You didn't finish. So you got your passion for cooking from your dad.
10:50What about the passion for planting vegetables and fruits?
10:54That's from my mother and uncle.
10:57My mother could tell what could grow in a place just by looking at the soil.
11:00My mom used to say,
11:03The smell of the soil, its color, its texture—
11:08they all speak to you.
12:47In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
12:57Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that
13:08whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption
13:19[done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind
13:31entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.
13:47And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs.
13:58Then indeed, many of them, after that,
14:06throughout the land, were transgressors.
14:15God, the Almighty, has spoken the truth.
14:22O God, as we sit here today in this place, in this tribal council,
14:27grant us the ability to make right and just decisions in the light of
14:33the Holy Book and Hadith.
14:35Amen.
14:36O God, do not count us among those who spread corruption on earth,
14:40but include us among those who save humanity.
14:44Amen.
14:49In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
14:52The purpose of convening this tribal council is so that
14:54enmities do not prolong.
14:57So that the peace and order be maintained in our area.
15:00God forbid that the fire of enmity spreads so much that this
15:04entire area is engulfed by it.
15:07Sarbuland Khan, on my own behalf and on behalf of the people
15:11sitting in this tribal council.
15:13I offer my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
15:17We are all deeply saddened by the murder of Sher Dil Khan.
15:21It is our wish
15:24that through this tribal council, we can reach a
15:27better, just decision. And that the peace and order of
15:32our area also remain intact.
15:38My brother...
15:41The murder of Leader Sher Dil Khan
15:44was deliberately planned and carried out by Torsam Khan.
15:50Involved in that massacre…
15:52My sister-in-law
15:55and several of our loyal men were also killed.
15:57Torsam Khan must be punished for this crime.
16:04Hakimullah Khan.
16:07Zafraan Khan, do you admit to this murder?
16:13Do you accept that this crime was committed
16:17by your nephew, Torsam Khan?
16:21What is left to accept, Mr. Hakimullah Khan?
16:25The day our great Leader Sher Dil Khan was murdered,
16:28That night, a celebration was being held at his mansion.
16:38This is a false accusation.
16:43Don't say wrong things in anger.
16:48Sher Dil was a good man.
16:52And I am so heartless
16:54that I would celebrate a young man's death?
16:58This is a false accusation.
17:00Then is this also a false accusation?
17:02That Torsam is going around everywhere telling people
17:04himself that he killed Sher Dil to avenge his insult.
17:07Is this a false accusation?
17:10Sohrab Khan, if you have come to the tribal council, then respect it.
17:15And don't ruin the atmosphere by starting with accusations.
17:23Zafraan Khan
17:25Do you admit to this murder?
17:47Did you hear something?
17:52Do you have any idea what message Zafraan Khan took to the Tribal council?
17:55What did he take?
17:57Well, if you say so, I won't tell you.
17:59Speak.
18:04He...
18:06he...
18:08Speak.
18:11He has gone with a marriage proposal.
18:14What nonsense are you talking?
18:16I'm not talking nonsense.
18:18I told you what I found out.
18:21In exchange for Sher Dil's murder, he...
18:26...offered Gul Meher in marriage.
18:53Torsam Khan is a fool. He is naive.
18:58He is senseless.
19:00Hakimullah, you tell yourself.
19:03Sher Dil, in front of a whole crowd...
19:07...had slapped him.
19:11He has a hot temper.
19:13and got carried away by emotions.
19:15He did the wrong thing.
19:17I am very angry with him.
19:19I don't want to see his face.
19:21He did the wrong thing.
19:30And I...
19:33ask for your forgiveness.
19:40I am alone.
19:42I haven't even married.
19:48I am disabled.
19:51Torsam Khan is my nephew, but...
19:55I love him like a son.
19:56Like a son.
19:59What will I do without him?
20:05Let him go.
20:07Forgive him.
20:10Yes, in exchange for this murder,
20:15I offer my niece, Gul Meher, in marriage to Sarbuland Khan.
20:31I want to give you in marriage to Sarbuland Khan.
20:43Save me and Torsam.
20:47We will be indebted to you for life.
20:54Oh God, what kind of trial is this?
21:00Help me.
21:04I don't know how I will bear this humiliation.
21:10Will I get such a harsh punishment for loving Torsam?
21:16That to save his life, I will be handed over to the enemies.
21:23Have mercy, my Lord.
21:26Show me some way.
21:32Show me some way.
21:36You are a cowardly, shameless enemy, Zafraan Khan.
21:40You always bring women into the middle of things.
21:44Sohrab Khan!
21:47Respect the tribal council.
21:49Control your tongue.
21:53Sarbuland Khan?
21:56do you accept Zafraan Khan's offer?
21:59Absolutely not.
22:02Why do we punish our sisters, daughters, and girls for our sins and atrocities?
22:09This practice is an unjust and oppressive custom that goes against religion.
22:16And this tradition should be ended here forever.
22:22And as for the matter of my brother's murder.
22:25I want a life for a life.
22:33Sarbuland Khan...
22:34I want the head of my brother's killer.
22:40This is justice.
22:51Sarbuland Khan, have mercy on this cripple.
22:56I am ready to place my honor at your feet.
23:01In front of this tribal council, forgive me and my nephew.
23:09Think like a brother, he is your blood too.
23:13Hakimullah Khan, make him understand.
23:17You people, make him understand.
23:21Forgive us.
23:23Forgive.
23:28Alright. Look, Sarbuland Khan.
23:34If you don't understand my offer, then I want to
23:42make the same offer to Sohrab Khan.
23:46Take my niece in marriage.
23:53You were shameless yesterday, and you are shameless today.
23:5924 years ago, you killed my father and gave your sister in exchange.
24:04Today, to save your nephew's life, you
24:05have again brought a woman into the middle.
24:07Sohrab Khan, be quiet.
24:09Sohrab Khan, you are crossing your limits.
24:13How dare you curse our tribe and our lineage?
24:22Hakimullah, the purpose of coming to the tribal council
24:25is not to be insulted.
24:27The way you people are fighting, ruining the atmosphere,
24:32it is an insult to this tribal council and to me.
24:35After giving me authority, this whole atmosphere
24:37of fighting is being created here.
24:41This is a wrong act against our traditions.
24:45We shouldn't have come to this tribal council in the first place.
24:55Mr. Hakimullah Khan.
24:57there is no point in talking to this shameless and cowardly enemy.
25:22Bibi Jaan, have courage.
25:24God willing, there will be good news.
25:27Yes, child.
25:29I am not ready to hear any wrong decision.
25:32I feel danger from Zafraan.
25:35He is filled with evil.
25:37And Sarbuland is still young.
25:39He doesn't have experience in leadership either.
25:42Bibi Jaan, don't you worry.
25:44Sohrab is with Sarbuland, isn't he?
25:46He will give a full response to every evil trick of Zafraan.
25:53Shireen, come here.
25:57Yes, sister-in-law, Noor?
25:59What are you doing?
26:00Nothing, just some dust was flying around,
26:02I was cleaning.
26:04Do you need anything? Shall I bring Green tea for you?
26:06If we need anything, we will call you.
26:09Go.
26:11Sister-in-law Noor?
26:12why are you getting angry at her for no reason?
26:15She wasn't doing any work; she came to eavesdrop.
26:18Obviously, she grew up with us in this Mansion.
26:22She gets worried, she loves us.
26:24I don't know, Bano.
26:26I see a strange kind of cunning in her eyes.
26:30Sister-in-law Noor.
26:32I agree that a tragedy has occurred in the house.
26:36But that doesn't mean we should doubt our loyal ones.
26:40Bano, child, go and find out.
26:42Has any news from the tribal council come to the Common room?
26:45What's happening?
26:47You sit, I'll go and find out.
26:49Don't you worry.
26:51Come Bibi Jaan, sit.
26:57Nothing will happen, Don't worry.
27:25What's being made?
27:27I'm making turnip pickle.
27:29Wow! A request is made here, and the pickle is ready there.
27:33A wife should be like this.
27:35It's not ready yet.
27:36The pickle's flavor will develop after three days.
27:39First, I have to put it in a jar, then tie it tightly with a cloth,
27:43and keep it in the sun.
27:45Only after that will the pickle be ready.
27:48You're working all alone, let me help you.
27:50Oh, be careful, don't cut your hand.
27:54You don't have to peel it, you have to cut it.
27:57Okay.
27:59Here.
28:00Here, put it on this and cut it.
28:02You have to make four pieces.
28:04Just like that, from the middle.
28:05Okay.
28:05Yes.
28:07In the process of helping me,
28:10don't go injuring your hand.
28:12Tayab used to do the same thing.
28:14Even after teaching him a hundred times,
28:15he couldn't even hold a knife properly.
28:22Are you missing Tayab?
28:25A lot.
28:27I miss him a lot. Both Tayab and Uncle.
28:31I've never been away from them.
28:33I'm not used to being away.
28:35I will take you to meet them.
28:38Not now.
28:40I've just gotten a new job. I have to join soon.
28:44But we will go to Azad Kashmir next month.
28:47Really?
28:48Absolutely true.
28:50We'll go together and also invite
28:51them to come to our house.
28:56It's not cutting, is it?
28:59That’s why they say, the job suits the one who is meant for it.
29:02Give it me.
29:04I'll do it. Look.
29:07Do like this if It's not cutting...
29:11Looks like you can't do it either.
29:12Even I can't do it today.
29:14Give me. I'll do it.
29:17Take this knife, the one I was using.
29:19Okay.
29:22Wow. It got cut
29:25Perfect.
29:25How did that happen?
29:26There are still two more pieces left.
29:27I have to make four pieces? Yes, Four.
29:31Ah, so the problem was with the knife.
29:34Well, while you're at it, cut the rest of them too.
29:38It was about the knife. I'm cutting.
29:56What have you done, Uncle?
29:59I'm asking you something.
30:01What shameless act did you commit in the tribal council?
30:15What I did, I did right.
30:17What the hell did you do right?
30:20You've come back after smearing the soot of disgrace on my face
30:22in front of a large crowd.
30:24All my life, I have heard one taunt.
30:27The son of a woman given in exchange.
30:31And today, you have repeated that same past.
30:33What must Sarbuland be thinking about me?
30:36Huh? That I am such a coward that I took the help of a woman
30:39to save my own life.
30:42You should have at least asked me.
30:45I would have given my life, but I wouldn't have let you go
30:47with the offer of women in exchange.
30:51Instead of showing Anger and arrogance
30:56It would have been better if you had used your mind.
31:04You killed Sher Dil.
31:07And you blew up others along with him.
31:10If you had just killed him,
31:13I could have given some reason infront of the tribal council.
31:17You just blew everyone up with an explosion.
31:21What reason would I give?
31:23Wow.
31:26This is also fine.
31:27At that time, you praised me a lot.
31:29Fired in the air, celebrated.
31:32And today,
31:35today all the blame is on me?
31:42Yes, I celebrated.
31:44I did fire in the air, I did celebrate.
31:47But I hadn't lost my mind like you.
31:52With what a heavy heart I went with the offer of marriage.
31:57Only I know.
32:04To save you,
32:09I sacrificed Gul Meher.
32:15My daughter.
32:22This is a slap on my face.
32:30You have only heard the taunts.
32:41For 24 years,
32:46I have been living with the taunts.
32:49Back then, Rustam Khan had forced me to give Zarsanga in marriage
32:53in exchange for the murder.
33:01To give your mother in marriage.
33:05And today,
33:06your love has made me helpless once again.
33:12I was insulted in the past.
33:17And today too, I am the one who has been insulted.
33:22Our offer of marriage
33:28was rejected by Sarbuland.
33:37He refused to take Gul Meher in marriage.
33:43They are thirsty for your blood.
34:09Child, forgive me.
34:14To save that unfortunate one,
34:19I was about to sacrifice my daughter.
34:33Now who will marry my rejected daughter?
