0:14I had a great desire …
0:17To become yours …
0:21But you did not let me.
0:27I … want to….
0:31ask you for Surayya’s hand in marriage for Hamid.
0:39How do you know?
0:44Because Surayya likes someone.
0:48How could they accept it, it’s about my marriage?
0:51I will not marry him.
0:54What’s the reason?
0:56I don’t like him, isn’t this enough?
0:58Where is your wife?
1:04She has gone to meet Mr. Dilshad Zulfi.
1:14I …
1:17Where …
1:21Here you go, a hot cup of tea.
1:24I had tea before coming.
1:28You did not have one made by me.
1:33Wow! It smells great Zulfi.
1:37Did you come with Dawood?
1:39With David?
1:41Hmm.
1:41I did not even inform him before coming.
1:42Why?
1:43He wouldn’t have had let me come if I would have had informed him.
1:45No one likes you there, they are psycho people.
1:50Buddy, you shouldn’t say that.
1:52You know,
1:52they are very innocent people.
1:54So simple,
1:56naïve …
1:56They are not at all nice or innocent people.
1:58And he is so wrong …
2:00Who?
2:02He is known by many names …
2:04Father,
2:06Dad,
2:06Daddy,
2:07Grandfather.
2:08You know what, he was the one who asked not to invite you on the wedding.
2:12And he gave such a strange reason …
2:15That he is a poet … He is less educated.
2:18Is this a reason for not liking someone?
2:21Strange.
2:22Ok,
2:23forget about everything …
2:24Tell me, are you happy with Dawood?
2:31Its ok.
2:33But I am very upset with Dad.
2:36He left me.
2:41Naveed called me …
2:44He was very worried about you.
2:48And you are not talking to him on the phone either.
2:51He is very sad.
2:56I don’t want to talk to him.
2:58He also left me alone.
3:00My laptop, my documents, passport, he took everything.
3:04Does someone treat someone like this?
3:06No …
3:09Look …
3:11forgive your father.
3:14At least, talk to him on the phone.
3:16He is very sad.
3:17Zulfi, stop defending Dad.
3:20I came to meet you and what are you talking about?
3:23Ok fine, I will leave.
3:24Ok, ok, no, no, listen to me …
3:26Sit...
3:27Aah … tell me will you eat something?
3:30I…
3:31I make very delicious pilaf
3:35Shall we go somewhere out and eat?
3:37Aa …
3:38ok
3:39let’s go.
3:40Let’s have tea first, you have made it with so much love.
3:45Mmm …
3:47I have started reading Urdu again.
3:50The earth …
3:52the earth …
3:53The earth ate up …
3:55How did the earth eat up.
3:59How?
4:05Dawood dear!
4:06Yes, Grandfather!
4:12Are you going somewhere?
4:16Yes, Grandfather, we are going out.
4:18Good.
4:20These are the days to take your wife out …
4:24Later one doesn’t get time when kids are born.
4:28But explain one thing to your wife dear …
4:31That don’t argue with elders.
4:38Ok.
4:42Actually …
4:45Grandfather …
4:47Times have changed …
4:50And Kaneez Fatima wasn’t saying something wrong.
4:55Ask Surayya once.
5:01I know dear….
5:03that times have changed …
5:06One must keep up with time.
5:08Yes.
5:09This is why I allowed Surayya…
5:11to study in the college.
5:14Otherwise, all three of your Aunts….
5:16were not allowed to study further after matric.
5:19We did not want them to do any jobs …
5:21But when it was Surayya’s turn…
5:23I was not strict
5:25I allowed her happily to go to the college …
5:28She is doing her bachelor’s degree
5:30With God’s grace,
5:31it’s sufficient education.
5:33There is no need to ask Surayya …
5:36I have full confidence in my upbringing.
5:42But Grandfather,
5:44the girl’s consent is also necessary.
5:49Dear, I am her guardian.
5:52I know what’s her wish….
5:54and what’s better for her …
5:57So you don’t worry …
5:59There is nothing illegal going on.
6:04I know how religious you are anyways.
6:08Go dear…
6:10Go and take a stroll,
6:11She must be waiting for you.
6:18Yes, Grandfather.
6:27Mother!
6:30Mother!
6:33Yes.
6:35Give me breakfast.
6:37You know,
6:39your Aunty sent food for you.
6:42Wow! that’s great!
6:44Earlier,
6:45we used to pack food and send it to their house…for them and for their kids.
6:51Not only food …They have proposed Hamid’s hand in marriage for Surayya.
6:56And I did not come from my friend’s house thinking that you guys must be talking about my proposal.
7:01We will talk about your proposal as well …
7:03Let us get done with Surayya first.
7:06There you go.
7:07Another problem.
7:09Don’t act so hasty …
7:11We will talk about your marriage too with Father.
7:14Go, I have served breakfast on the table, have breakfast and go and study.Focus on your studies.
7:21I hope you will do.
7:22I will.
7:45Firdaus Madam!
7:48Prepare for the wedding.
7:52Let the date get fixed first.
7:55Aren’t you rushing things way too much?
7:57Your Brother has saved a lot of money …
8:00Before he spends it somewhere else …
8:02He should spend it on the wedding …
8:04Give enough dowry …
8:06And if Dawood goes to America …
8:08He will definitely sponsor his Brother in law.
8:11When is Hamid coming?
8:13Hamid was talking about a day or two, I think.
8:19Your Father has trapped Dawood quite smartly.
8:23She is such a sharp girl; may God forgive me.
8:26Ask Surayya, ask Surayya …
8:34Father never asked anything from the three of us.
8:39He got us married as per his choice.
8:43You were the one gaining advantage.
8:47Yes.
8:50Iqbal and Khursheed …
8:54Who takes a girl’s consent?
9:01Did you …..
9:03think anything about Husna and Daniyal?
9:06Yes.
9:07Whatever is my Husna’s desire.
9:10I have no objection, if she likes Daniyal.
9:14My daughter is outstanding and excellent.
9:16There is a que of proposals ….with God’s will.
9:21Great!
9:23Thank God, your principles are different for your daughter.
9:28Kim was saying the same by the way …
9:31Surayya’s consent should be taken.
9:33Your Father and Brother should thank God and thankful…
9:37That we have asked for Surayya’s hand in marriage for Hamid …
9:40Otherwise, will they find a proposal like this?
10:12The specialty here is potato and lentil patty …
10:16And such great pilaf…
10:17You will not find that anywhere in Karachi.
10:19It’s very tasty.
10:20Hmm … Amazing!
11:01Surayya!
11:02What are you doing here?
11:06Sister-in-law? You?
11:10What happened …?
11:32So this is the one…
11:34Who you like and want to get married to?
11:37Yes, I am Owais Ahmad.
11:40Surayya’s friend Farhat …
11:42I am her brother’s friend.
11:44I saw Surayya at Farhat’s house for the first time, and I liked her.
11:50Hmm …
11:52Love at first sight.
11:54Once outside the college and after that we met once or twice outside otherwise we have been
11:58talking on the phone only.
12:01I have done my BBA this year and …
12:03I am working as a salesman in a firm.
12:06Good.
12:09When I was in second year …
12:11My Father passed away.
12:14I have a Mother …
12:15And an elder sister ...
12:17She is married but she is staying with us these days.
12:21Hmm.
12:27I hope you will not tell anyone.
13:01Who do you want to meet?
13:05Er…
13:06Is Mr. Dilshad at home?
13:08He is not home.
13:13Do you have any idea where is he right now?
13:15He is at the shop at this time.
13:22Ok.
13:41We will have to inform.
13:43Hmm …
13:45for sure.
13:47How will this problem get solved if I will not inform?
13:50Sister in law, I was explaining the same thing to Surayya that she will have to take someone in confidence.
13:55Sister in law, you can help us.
13:58Look Mr.!
13:59You will have to help yourself.
14:02You both love each other …
14:03Why are you being scared?
14:05Send a proposal in a decent manner …
14:07Test your luck.
14:09And as far as the matter…
14:11of how to send the proposal is concerned …
14:13We can find a solution.
14:14We can think of a way
14:17Grandfather will never agree.
14:22She is right Zulfi …
14:23Grandfather will never agree.
14:26He has already fixed her marriage with Firdaus’s son.
14:31We will have to do something now.
14:33Hmm …
14:35You are right.
14:41These people get their daughters ….
14:44married as per their choices and only in their family.
14:49Love marriage is neither a tradition here…
14:52nor it is favored …
14:55And the voice….
14:56that challenges their customs, traditions and honor …
15:03It is suppressed …
15:06It is made silent.
15:16Don’t worry Surayya …
15:18We will do something.
15:21Ok?
15:35I want to do something for Surayya.
15:39You stay away from this problem …
15:41Don’t get involved in this mess.
15:45Zulfi, she has asked for my help …
15:48I can’t ignore her.
15:51Your kindness
15:52will become a problem for your own self.
16:26Let’s go,
16:27I have come to get you.
16:29Go.
16:32I came on my own, I would have come back on my own.
16:35Why did you come?
16:39Look, you are Naveed Uncle’s friend…
16:42and you are elder to me …
16:44This is why I respect you.
16:47But you should have been a little considerate.
16:50You brought my wife to this cheap place.
16:54Really?
16:57Just a while ago, at this cheap place …
16:59No, I …
17:02I am sorry.
17:08I forgot …
17:10That she is not my friend Naveed’s daughter …...
17:13or my niece anymore …
17:15She is your wife.
17:19She is your honor.
17:21I am not his honor.
17:24Zulfi, I have my own respect as well.
17:26And I don’t want to go right now.
17:29Kim, don’t be unreasonable …
17:31Dawood is absolutely right.
17:33You are his honor …
17:35and he is your honor.
17:39Get up,
17:39Go, come on.
17:40Get up.
17:52Let’s go.
17:54I am only going upon Zulfi’s request.
17:57Bye Zulfi!
18:31First, you went to Zulfi’s house without informing me …
18:34And that too in this attire.
18:36And then from there ….
18:39what was the need of going to that cheap restaurant?
18:43Because Zulfi can’t afford an expensive restaurant.
18:46And I have already told you that you don’t need to act like my husband like other Pakistanis.
18:54I am free to move around, you can’t restrict me.
19:00You should talk to me according to our deal.
19:06Ok.
19:08But as a friend,
19:11I think I can tell you that the place was not as per your standard.
19:15At least, Zulfi should have been careful.
19:18Neither was that place suitable ….
19:20nor your attire.
19:24You should have taken a scarf at least.
19:27Why are you after my clothes all the time?
19:30Have I ever told you that I have an issue with your beard?
19:35Keeping a beard is a religious tradition.
19:37Then ask Daniyal and Uncle Basharat as well to follow this religious tradition.
19:41Why don’t they have a beard?
19:43How can I ask them?
19:45It’s their choice,
19:46whether they keep it or not.
19:48And as it is…
19:50And religion can’t be forced anyways.
19:52Fine then …
19:53It is my choice, whether I take a scarf or not.
19:57You are my Wife.
20:02Daniyal is your brother ….
20:04and Uncle Basharat is your father …
20:07You have a relation with them first and then with me.
20:11You couldn’t convince them so you got a Wife to practice your dominance.
20:18You know what …. the problem is?
20:21The problem is not about the Brother and Wife …
20:23The problem is of a stronger and weaker person.
20:30A person only dominates ….
20:33the one who is weak.
20:36Because a woman is weak, so you people try to convince her.
20:41But let me clear one thing Mr. David …
20:44I am not a weak woman.
20:50Neither it is about honor …
20:53Nor it is about a woman’s weakness.
20:57It is about the care.
21:01The more one is concerned about a person …
21:04The more one tries to protect that person.
21:07Then don’t care about me …
21:08I can take care of myself.
21:13If you don’t want to change yourself then don’t …
21:17But don’t ask me not to worry about you.
21:21Naveed Uncle has handed over your responsibility to me anyways.
21:27I don’t want to make any mistakes in this regard.
21:31Fine.
21:34If I have to change myself, I will …
21:39Maybe one day… I start covering myself like Razia and Surayya …
21:45But when my heart will tell me, Kim you have to do this,
21:48only then I will do it.
21:51I will not change myself out of fear or apprehension of your anger.
21:59As you say …
22:02that religion can’t be forced.
22:22Father, tea.
22:23Good dear.
22:25Wait!
22:28Did you talk to Surayya?
22:31About what Father?
22:33That when are her exams ending?
22:36I have to give a wedding date to Firdaus and Muddasir.
22:43What’s the rush Father?
22:45I am not rushing …
22:47Rather I think it has become late.
22:49I got Firdaus married right after she passed her tenth grade.
22:54And Khursheed …
22:58Anyways….
23:00And you were in 12th grade then.
23:07Surayya wants to continue her studies Father.
23:10She was saying she wants to do M.A.
23:13She can do whatever she wants after marriage.
23:18Ask her and let me know…
23:20so that I can call Muddasir.
23:24Ok fine.
23:40Father your B.P is slightly high and …
23:43Your sugar is also high, you will have to change your diet.
23:47Forget it man!
23:48I don’t want…
23:50to live a tasteless life.
23:53There should be taste in everything …
23:55One survives only when he eats well.
23:57Father, this is not a joke …
24:00If you will not be careful ....
24:01Nothing will happen to me man!
24:03Look at Father …
24:04He is so healthy …
24:05Did anything happen to him?
24:07How should I explain it to you?
24:08Don’t explain it to me.
24:10Explain it to him …
24:12This mister is saying that he has completed his studies …
24:17He will not sit in the shop and the factory and he wants to go abroad.
24:21And how many times do I have to tell you …
24:23I am not interested in your family business …
24:25Bring the wood and make furniture!
24:29If you wanted me to become a carpenter only …
24:30Why did you make me study so much?
24:31Huh?
24:32Are you listening to him?
24:33Speak calmly, why are you over reacting?
24:37Why shouldn’t I react?
24:38He is sending you to America and he is sending me to the factory.
24:41Hey!
24:41Who is going to America?
24:43You, who else?
24:44You got married to an American citizen …
24:47Fixed Surayya’s marriage …
24:49Father you do not care about me.
24:51I am clearly telling you …
24:53I want to settle in America only …I don’t want to live here.
24:55Please talk to Naveed Uncle and ask him to sponsor us.
24:59Daniyal what nonsense are you talking about?
25:01I am not going to America …
25:03And don’t you dare talk to Naveed Uncle about this nonsense.
25:05Yes Sure,
25:06I got the point.
25:07You got everything, why would you talk to him about this?
25:10But I am telling you …
25:12Father …..
25:13you will have to talk to Naveed Uncle.
25:15I should talk to him!
25:16You will get a slap.
25:18Talk to Naveed Uncle!
25:19Are you listening to what he is saying?
25:21Father… he has lost his mind.
25:24I will get your medicine.
25:26Dear…. get a medicine for digestion also.
25:30And listen …
25:32You will go to the factory with me tomorrow morning …
25:34The wood is coming in tomorrow.
25:36We got the best summer wood this time …
25:38Hmmm.
26:18David is not in the room.
26:21Where is he gone?
26:24He has gone to get Basharat Uncle’s medicine.
26:29I hope you didn’t tell him anything …
26:33About me and Owais.
26:41Not exactly …
26:43But when,
26:45I heard you and Owais talking on the phone …
26:48So I told David that maybe you like someone …
26:52And don’t fix your marriage with Hamid.
26:55Then?
26:56He was not believing me.
26:58He was saying that Surayya cannot do anything of that sort.
27:01He was giving me stupid logics.
27:05Don’t you have a heart, aren’t you a human, don’t you have feelings?
27:11Dawood Brother trusts me a lot …
27:16I …
27:18But what could I do,
27:20I started liking Owais then I fell in love with him.
27:24I didn’t think that there is no possibility of this thing in our family.
27:28Come on Surayya,
27:30there is no need to go into self-pity.
27:33It is your right to decide who you will get married to.
27:37Why are you being apologetic?
27:39Ok now tell me what are we supposed to do because Grandfather has fixed the wedding date.
27:45I can only think of one solution.
27:47What?
27:49What if Hamid Brother refuses?
27:53If he refuses, then how will Grandfather get me married to him?
27:56That brainless man will never do that.
27:59Just imagine he got ready to get married to me without even meeting me …Why would he do this then?
28:04This is a weak point.
28:07What should I do then?
28:12If I was in your place …
28:16I would have packed my stuff and ….
28:19would have eloped and gotten married secretly.
28:25You also get married to Owais secretly.
28:28What are you saying?
28:29I can’t do this,
28:32my family will not be able to face anyone in the society.
28:37Then just go and tell everyone that you don’t want to marry Hamid …
28:41You like someone else.
28:43I can’t do this.
28:46I cannot say this, I cannot do that but I can love someone …
28:53I am sorry ….I am sorry Surayya that is not what I meant …
28:56Please Please ….Okay …
28:58Please don’t cry.
29:00Let me think about it.
29:03Please Surayya don’t cry.
29:06I am sorry.
29:07What happened to her?
29:11Love.
29:14Love?
29:15With whom?
29:19With me …
29:21I was talking about going back to America, so ….
29:24she started crying.
29:27Sister in law is calling both of you …Come down stairs
29:30Me also?
29:31Yes, both of you.
29:39Surayya, stay strong.
29:41Ok?
29:42I will talk about it.
29:44I have taken these out for Surayya …
29:47These clothes and all this jewelry.
29:49I am showing all this to you because you are the Daughter in law of this house.
29:53Later don’t say that my Mother in law didn’t show me anything nor did she tell me anything.
29:57Why would I say that?
30:01But you should ask Surayya if she wants to get married or not?
30:06These clothes and jewelry are secondary matters.
30:12Surayya will do, what her elders will decide.
30:22Surayya,
30:23look ….
30:24do you like this?
30:29I want to study.
30:31Why are you people doing all this?
30:47This embroidery is very nice.
30:50I did it.
30:53Really!
30:58You are really talented.
31:02I don’t want these old fashioned clothes and jewelry.
31:05Mother…. I don’t want to get married.
31:10Keep your mouth shut!
31:12If you say anything like this again …
31:15Then I will not only insult you verbally….
31:17but I will beat you up too.
31:18Sister in law!
31:27When are your exams ending?
31:30Father is constantly asking.
31:32I haven’t received the date sheet yet.
31:39Why are you people forcing Surayya?
31:42Let her study.
31:44Extra education…..
31:46drives a person crazy.
31:48She has just done her B.A and look at her.
31:50If she studies further she will get out of control.
31:58Anyways,
32:00Kim …
32:01There will be enough work load during the wedding days …
32:05You will have to help …
32:07Understand?
32:14There will be work only if there will be a wedding.
32:22Iqbal,
32:22did you do any course for all these things from somewhere?
32:25No,
32:26I learned all this at home.
32:29Stitching,
32:30embroidery,
32:31crochet ….
32:32I will show you some day.
32:33Wow!
32:35That’s amazing!
32:37I love it!
32:40These things are rarely available in America.
33:17Hello, Naveed…
33:18how are you?
33:19Zulfi, how are you, is everything ok?
33:21Absolutely fine,
33:22Thanks to God.
33:23Did you meet Kim?
33:25Meet!
33:26She was with me today for so long.
33:29I asked her a lot of times to call her Dad …
33:32But she didn’t agree.
33:34She didn’t agree?
33:36Is she upset with me?
33:38Yes,
33:39she is upset, but …
33:41you don’t worry.
33:42Why should I not worry?
33:44My Daughter is upset with me, man …
33:46She is not talking to me.
33:47God knows how would she be dealing with everybody at home?
33:50I don’t have the courage to talk to Uncle, man.
33:52Don’t worry,
33:54I know she is upset for sure …
33:56But…
33:58I think she has adjusted in the environment here.
34:01Has she settled?
34:02Really?
34:03Yes,
34:04she was telling me ….
34:06that she went for dinner with her family too ..
34:08And If she is not really happy with Dawood …
34:12So she is not really unhappy as well.
34:14Has she adjusted in the environment there?
34:16Adjust?
34:18Along with getting adjusted,
34:20she has taken the responsibility of fixing the environment …
34:24Which I think is not right.
34:26What are you saying, I am not getting it, I know my Daughter really well.
34:30Don’t worry,
34:32I am here.
34:33Whatever happens…
34:34I will look after it.
34:36Forget about everything and tell me how are you feeling?
34:39I am not well actually …
34:42I have taken two, three days off from the hospital …
34:46I am at home,
34:48get the work here ….
34:49Watch a little TV.
34:51Ok.
34:52are you ok, is everything ok at your end?
34:54I am just ok.
34:56Take care of yourself.
34:58Ok my friend, thank you, bye.
35:06Oh…Poor guy!
35:14Listen Kaneez Fatima.
35:17Yes Razia, what is it?
35:22Dawood will go to the hospital tomorrow morning …
35:24His duty is in the morning.
35:26He will leave the house at 8 o’clock.
35:29So why are you telling me this?
35:31Because you are his Wife.
35:34Wake up on time in the morning.
35:36What will I do by waking up?
35:38Hey….
35:39What did your mother use to do when your father used to go to the hospital?
35:43They used to work together so they use to go to the hospital together as well.
35:48I am not a doctor that I will go to the hospital with David.
35:51Oho!
35:52Don’t spoil my son’s name.
35:54His name is Dawood.
35:56So wakeup on time in the morning and give him breakfast.
36:00Who makes it otherwise?
36:02And doesn’t everybody get up at around 12 o’clock?
36:04Forget about otherwise …
36:06You will make it from now onwards.
36:11Ok …
36:13What does he eat by the way?
36:15The same … fried flatbread and omelet.
36:17That round oily bread …
36:20I don’t know how to make that but I will make the omelet.
36:23Ah okay….Fine, no problem, don’t make the fried flatbread …
36:27You can give him bread.
36:30Ok …
36:32Anything else Razia?
36:34Err…
36:35And, yes …
36:37Get rid of this cursed pant shirt now.
36:41You have got married in Pakistan so you have to adopt the clothes and traditions.
36:45We should also feel that you are our Daughter in law …
36:49My Dawood’s Wife.
36:53I am not that nice that I will agree with everything you say.
36:56But don’t worry,
36:57I will make the breakfast.
37:00Bye Razia!
37:09Sister in law!
37:11Please help me.
37:12Surayya doesn’t want this marriage.
37:15She can’t dare to refuse to this marriage.
37:18The brothers can have affairs …
37:20They can talk to girls secretly …
37:22But sisters can’t do anything …
37:24Neither can they choose a boy …
37:27Nor can they talk on the phone.
37:31You have become so shameless and bold.
37:33You have been having an affair
37:34making an excuse of college.
37:35I will not forgive…
37:37Surayya I …
