-
Hello?
-
Yes this is Hamza.
-
Yes. I'll be right there.
-
Give me the address, I'll be there in two minutes.
-
What could I have said myself sister Haseena. You act like my sister all the time.
-
But you didn't care that Nargis's younger sister was of a marriageable age.
-
Nargis, you could have at least hinted. I would have agreed right away.
-
What does Sajida lack?
-
Lack? My sister is one in a million.
-
And she would have brought dowry worth millions as well.
-
Millions?
-
Yes, all of our sisters got a lot of dowry and she is the youngest. Father's dearest.
-
Nargis, don't make me feel bad. Nothing can be done now.
-
I have accepted a proposal for Salman now.
-
Let it be sister Haseena. You just accepted a proposal. They aren't married yet.
-
And as it is, you have already made and broken a lot of matches yourself.
-
Had I been the one to finalize the proposal, I would have ended it within a second.
-
What should I hide from you?
-
Salman likes her.
-
He will never agree.
-
But sister Haseena, I really pity you now.
-
If you bring your daughter in law of your son's choice. You'll cry for the rest of your life.
-
Such daughter in laws have a lot of attitude. God forbid.
-
She also likes him as well.
-
Then you have this last chance. Save yourself and your son as well.
-
Girls from poor families, who have seen hunger, are very clever.
-
Nothing can be done.
-
Salman is very stubborn.
-
Send him to Mateen, he'll straighten him out.
-
Tell me one thing.
-
What do you have that you want to give to that girl with broad teeth?
-
What sort of wealth did your ancestors leave for you, tell me?
-
Mom, I was just..
Go meet Mateen right now.
-
Why?
He'll teach you something sensible.
-
He will tell me some stupid job.
Whatever he does will be for your benefit.
-
And leave this phone here. I'll give you a slap otherwise.
-
There is nothing with that daughter of a rikshaw driver.
-
Go and sit with him and listen to what he tells you.
-
Alright.
-
Shut up!
-
Wow! You create new problems everyday and you want me to apologize to you?
-
Will you lose your respect if you apologize to your grandma and you want me to beg your husband's forgiveness?
-
When did I say that? He lost his job because of you, you should..
-
Oh, grandma's dearest.
-
Come give me a hug Hamza.
-
Didn't I tell you Hamza would never be angry with me?
Yes, grandma, is just that.
-
I have such a good news that I have forgotten all arguments.
-
What Joya? You were hiding it from me but I understood when you were blushing.
-
We have a good news.
Grandma, all good news doesn't mean the same.
-
I have found a job.
Really?
-
Yes, better than before and three times more salary.
-
Where did you get a job?
Actually..
-
I'll never tell you. Ever. I'll just go tell dad and grandpa.
-
I'll go ask him.
-
Allah is great.
Hello brother Mateen.
-
Hello! How come you're here to see me? How are you?
-
Will you have tea? Ashraf..
No. No, brother Mateen..
-
I had it at home. My mom said you wanted to discuss something important with me.
-
Is something important?
Oh, its nothing that important.
-
It was my day off, I thought I'd spend it with my neighbors and children.
-
Have dinner with me. My mother in law sent over meatballs.
-
You should eat with me. We'll sit and talk.
No. I don't have dinner.
-
You're too young to not have dinner. We can never do that ever.
-
My in laws, keep sending over a lot of food. Biryani,
-
meatballs, desserts, sweetmeats, they keep sending over a lot of food.
-
But brother Mateen, doesn't sister Nargis cook good food?
-
They respect me my dear. Respect.
-
Respect. My in laws respect me a lot. Thank God. Are you looking at this?
-
This is Egyptian cotton and I also have a Rado wristwatch.
-
I've never had to buy stuff for myself.
-
My brother in laws are in Dubai and they keep sending me stuff from there.
-
I've never spent a single penny, thank God.
-
brother Mateen, I want to ask you a question.
Yes?
-
I want to know why do your in laws do all this?
-
Isn't it enough they gave you their daughter?
-
No it isn't my dear.
-
Its like if you keep your son in law away from troubles and from being jobless, your daughter will be the happiest.
-
Trust me, I didn't have a job for like one and a half year.
-
But thank God, may God bless my in laws, my pocket was always full of money.
-
And my fridge too.
-
But whats the use? You get your food from them and things in your fridge would go rotten.
-
You shut up.
-
So yes, Salman my dear, I was telling you that,
-
thank God. I'll tell you honestly. I've never spoken English in my life. But..
-
My children speak such fluent English, A for apple, B for bat, C for cat and D for dog..
-
They..
-
I cannot afford the fee for English schools so my brother in laws do that.
-
I had a daughter. I would have lived a carefree life but I am weighed down with responsibility ever since I had a daughter.
-
Now when my daughter will get married, I'll bear half the expenses and my in laws will bear the rest.
-
When my kids grow up, they'll join their uncles in their business.
-
But brother Mateen, they are your children,
-
You should look after them.
Are they my children alone?
-
If their uncles are not related to them, they should not call themselves their uncles.
-
They are their children too, so they'll share the burden with me.
-
My payment?
-
What did your work for? Here you go!
-
Thank God, you gave me these 100 rupees. I thought you'd ask your in laws to send that too
-
Shut up! Get lost!
-
Get lost. I'll see how sister Haseena keeps you in this neighborhood. Nonsense!
-
Why are you laughing?
-
I gave you such inside knowledge and you're laughing at me.
-
Here you go my dear. This is all my daughter's doing.
-
She brought blessings with her.
-
Dad, my scholar had told me beforehand,
-
Joya's marriage to Hamza would bring a lot of blessings for him.
-
You'll see how he becomes more successful in life ahead.
Yes..
-
my dear, may God bless you.
Of course.
-
I have done nothing at all.
-
I got this job because of my achievements. Even while I was at home.
-
They called me themselves and you gave all the credit to Joya.
-
You should go to them and give them the good news.
-
Those who you told before us.
Yes, in fact,
-
go congratulate your mother in laws and get their blessings,
-
then get your stale congratulations,
-
to us.
-
No dad. Actually Hamza was telling me.
-
Grandma was there and she listened. Hamza was coming to tell you.
-
No my dear, you don't have to clarify anything for him.
-
You don't have to defend him at all.
-
He is like this. He truly thinks his mother in laws give him all the prayers.
-
Why would we pray for him? We would never do that.
-
Prayers..
-
Rather than beating my head around here, I should go to the person who actually prayed for me.
-
Look dad.. He's going again.
-
Who are you?
Take these sweets along too then..
-
Come here. Come here..
-
Sit here.
-
What is it Hamza? You look very happy.
-
I am very happy.
-
Its all because of your prayers.
-
My prayers?
Yes.
-
You know what Bubly Shakoor said?
-
If you do good. You get good. And I got it.
-
I got you a job and a job walked to me itself.
-
Oh God..
-
This is truly a blessing.
It is indeed.
-
But its because of you Sukhi.
-
I'll treat you today because of it. Come with me.
Yes?
-
Come. We'll have dinner tonight. Wherever you say.
-
No Hamza.
-
You and I have no match.
-
How can we eat together. No..
Shut up.
-
Come with me.. Come..
But listen..
-
Where did he get a job?
Some company.
-
Of course I know that. What is it?
-
I don't know.
-
Hamza must have told you not to tell, because of mom.
Its not that mom.
-
I didn't ask and he didn't tell.
-
You're such a silly girl. Find out.
-
Who are these people who offered him a job at home?
-
How come he jumped to 3.5 lacs from 75,000 along with a car.
-
Mom, aren't you happy he's successful?
-
I will be happy but first I need to know if he isn't involved in something illegal.
-
Mom, why do you doubt so much. Hamza isn't like this at all.
-
Hamza might not be like that but the society definitely is.
-
People aren't good at all. They might have trapped a jobless boy.
-
Oh well..
-
I'll find out myself.
-
Is this the time to come to someone's door? Its 10 pm.
-
This is the right time. Save your home.
-
What nonsense is this?
-
I did tell you earlier to talk to sister Haseena and get those transgenders kicked out of this neighborhood.
-
But you didn't listen. Now you'll have to bear it.
-
Well, both of you have a lot of free time on your hand.
-
You people have nothing else to do other than creating problems amongst people.
-
Go do what you want to do with the people, why are you involving me?
-
I have good terms with Haseena, I don't want to spoil it.
-
But you'll spoil your daughter's house.
-
What? What nonsense is this?
-
First you said its my house now you tell me to save my daughter's house.
-
Don't you know me? I will absolutely thrash people who speak nonsense.
-
Thrash the people who are spoiling your son in law.
-
Oh God. My house, my son in law.
-
Why everything will be spoiled for me?
Didn't I tell you they'll spoil the neighborhood?
-
They have now done it and the first prey is your son in law Hamza.
-
What?
Yes, Mateen himself saw Sukhi.
-
Hamza and he were riding his bike together.
-
This cannot be. How could it be?
-
You can look for yourself.
-
Thank you Hamza.
-
They're friends, Shireen. Close friends.
-
Oh God forgive me. Signs of the day of judgment.
-
Now we'll face disasters.
The earth will shatter.
-
Hello aunty. You're still awake?
-
How can a mother sleep if her children are out late at night?
-
Late at night? Its just quarter to eleven. Actually I had dinner with a friend so didn't see the time.
-
Which friend?
-
He lives right next door..
Don't lie to me Hamza.
-
Why would I lie to you?
-
Look Hamza,
-
I gave you my only and very dear daughter and I have a right to know who you are giving my daughter's rights to.
-
And think before lying to me.
-
I know whatever you do.
-
I know everything, wherever you go and when you do.
-
Now if you're stalking me,
-
if you know what I do and when I do it,
-
So why are you asking me, if you know it all.
-
You're so ill mannered.
-
His father didn't raise him right, one bit.
-
You're back?
-
No. I'm still being questioned.
-
Where were you?
-
Why don't you ask your mom? As it is she knows wherever and whenever I go somewhere.
-
You're angry.
-
No. Do I look angry? I'm in such a good mood. I've never been in a better mood.
-
I'm hungry.
-
Didn't I tell you to not wait for me and eat?
-
I wasn't waiting for you. Grandpa did something terrible today Hamza.
-
Grandpa? Something terrible? With you?
-
I cannot believe it.
-
Not me. The birds.
-
The birds?
-
Yes, his friend was coming in from Gujranwala. He asked him to bring him a lot of birds to eat.
-
Hamza, my heart hurt. I cried so much.
-
I couldn't eat anything. How can people eat such innocent birds.
-
Your beloved eats it. He brings birds and pigeons to the rooftop every other day to devour.
-
Doesn't your heart hurt then?
-
Come I'll get you something to eat.
But weren't you angry?
-
I was.
-
But who can stay angry looking at you Joya?
-
Your innocence..
Do you love it?
-
Nope. You'll get into trouble because of it someday.
-
Ouch..
Come on.
-
So that's why you sent me to brother Mateen's.
-
Why he kept praising his sister in laws and their family?
-
This was your doing.
-
So what did I do wrong?
-
I want the best for my son.
-
And Firdaus? Isn't she someone's child?
-
Her parents will think the best for her.
-
Mom, you accepted the proposal and fixed my wedding date.
-
They're busy with the preparations and you want to bring someone else's daughter here.
-
What are you saying? What preparations?
-
What preparations would that rikshaw driver do for his daughter's wedding?
-
But it will certainly be disrespectful if we call off the wedding.
-
That is their luck. I am worried about your luck.
-
And I'm concerned about Firdaus and her luck.
-
I cannot deceive her. And you..
-
don't even think about Nargis's sister.
-
Why shouldn't I? She'll change our fate.
-
She'll fill her house with a lot of things. I'll get gold.
-
And they'll give you a car too. What else do you need?
-
And who doesn't want to bring a girl from a rich family?
-
There are a lot of people mom who don't bother about a rich girl and her dowry.
-
Look at me. I'm a daughter of a rickshaw driver.
-
Matric fail and my brother doesn't do anything. My mother is a marriage broker.
-
Everything that I had in my dowry burned to ashes.
-
Yet he married me respectfully.
-
What did you give your son in law as a wedding present?
-
When your dowry burned, didn't you get anxious?
-
Didn't you think what would happen if they refused to marry her?
-
And now you want to do this with someone else's daughter? Have you forgotten everything?
-
I am with Salman on this mom. I will not let you force him.
-
Take this thought out of your mind.
-
Where can I get purer milk than this?
-
You see faults in everything.
-
I see faults because there are faults. If you want to mix water,
-
you can mix clean water. Why do you have to mix dirty water in it?
-
Its the limit. The limit.
-
Hidayat..
-
What were you saying?
-
I say a lot of things. My job is to advise people.
-
But nobody listens to me.
I am listening to you.
-
What?
I mean, I have thought about this.
-
You're right. They are spoiling our neighborhood.
-
We have to talk to Haseena and tell her to get rid of her tenants.
-
Why would sister Haseena throw them out?
-
They give the rent and who doesn't like money coming in?
He's absolutely right.
-
We cannot do this simply. We'll have to do something done.
-
What do you mean?
I mean, we'll have to force them out of the house.
-
How come they live here? When we don't want them as our neighbors,
-
how can these lowlifes live next to us.
-
Look what I will do. It will not take more than one and half hour.
-
I'll go and gather people. I'll just freshen up.
-
He's right. Right.
-
You slept without eating last night.
-
Have your breakfast. Why are you being stubborn.
-
You're the one whose being stubborn, mom.
-
Look Salman, I am not your enemy.
-
If you marry Firdaus you'll have to hunt for money the rest of your life.
-
You aren't educated like Hamza that you'll find a job worth six figures.
-
What will you do? Have you thought something?
-
Will you drive a rickshaw like your father and father in law?
-
I will do it. Whats the harm in working hard?
-
Hello sister. What good things this young man is saying.
-
What good has he been saying!
-
I made breakfast, brought for you too.
-
Salman you really like this. Eat please.
-
I think he's upset.
-
What can I do? I am telling him to marry a rich contractors daughter for his better future.
-
He'll have a house full of things. It won't matter if he has a job or not. But he isn't listening to me.
-
A rich contractor's daughter? Our neighbor's sister in law?
-
Today is my first day at work, Joya.
-
If your mom or grandma bothered me today, I'll change my path from tomorrow.
-
I'll find a way to jump from the rooftop.
-
Your always upset with mom and grandma. Everybody loves you Hamza.
-
For God's sake, tell them I don't want their love.
-
Tell them to love you and all I want is you.
-
You should love me.
-
What problem do you have with my mom?
I don't have a problem with her. She does.
-
God knows why she keeps interrogating me. God knows she thinks I'm a robber or a gambler.
-
Last night she was interrogating me. God knows why she doubts me.
-
She doesn't doubt, she worries for you.
I don't want such worries.
-
For God's sake.. I swear...
What is all this noise?
-
It could be my grandpa and uncle or your aunt and grandma.
-
What else happens in our house?
No Hamza, the noise is coming from the outside.
-
I think there's a fight.
Is it coming from the street?
-
I'll see.
-
Why should I throw out my tenants?
-
Haseena, they are spoiling our neighborhood.
-
Tell me, as if everyone was a cleric here before they came?
-
Were you always praying?
-
Tell us how we're spoiling the neighborhood? Do we do drugs or do we gamble?
-
You cannot live amongst families.
-
Your families are like our families.
-
Your daughters and sisters might be in danger because of these loafers in the street but not because of us.
-
Haseena, why are you arguing when the neighborhood has decided? You should accept what they're saying.
-
Who are you people to decide all this? And Shireen?
-
You're saying that? Do you remember when two young divorced women came to live in this neighborhood,
-
everybody was against them. My heavenly husband,
-
he stood up for you. He said he was your brother.
-
And today, you're the one pointing fingers.
-
It was a different thing. This is different.
Yes, this is different.
-
Because there isn't a man here who can come forward for us.
-
I am..
-
I am their brother.
-
Who is throwing out my brothers from this neighborhood?
-
Hatim?
Yes father?
-
Look whats happening in the street.
-
Dad, I am not looking. Small neighborhoods have such problems.
-
They always keep fighting. We don't have to live here.
-
Hamza has a job and that too with a three hundred percent raise.
-
We'll leave from here.
-
But will that old woman and her daughters, leave their home?
-
They would never.
-
Then?
Then what? We'll leave.
-
You, me, Joya, Hamza and Luqman.
-
We decided at the time of the wedding,
But dad..
-
it was because we had to get Hamza married.
-
Now he's married. What can they do now?
-
We'll leave and since is Joya is ours now, she'll go where we, and Hamza goes.
-
Right.
-
Who are those people?
-
So you'll stand against the entire neighborhood for them?
-
You don't have to argue with the elders Hamza.
-
Sorry to say but the elders should act responsibly then.
-
We have thought things through. They cannot live here.
-
Really?
-
These three cannot live here but all of you can?
-
That corrupt man Liaquat can live here and call of you greet him daily.
-
And this Teddy, who catcalls every girl in the neighborhood, he can live here too. And Mr. Mateen?
-
Mr. Mateen who steals electricity off the pole, he can too.
-
And this milkman who sells dirty water as milk, he too can live here.
-
Hamza..
Listen to the truth today.
-
You're taking their side?
-
And, why doesn't anybody object to Lal Deen the butcher living here?
-
He sells off dead chicken to this hotel guy who supplies to the entire neighborhood and makes everyone sick.
-
And this Haibat Naak who takes interest on loans?
-
And doctor Qudrat, how can we forget him. He's a doctor's aid in a government hospital,
-
And he steals medicine from the hospital to sell in his clinic and play with innocent lives.
-
Everyone can live here except these three transgenders.
-
You took your son to meet the mickey mouse outside the ice cream parlor.
-
You took his pictures with it as well.
-
He is that mickey mouse. Who, in this heat and humidity,
-
dresses up to entertain your children to earn an honest living.
-
We're transgenders,
-
and you're all men.
-
But we aren't those who keep an eye on other's money even when they have their own.
-
We're better than you men, at least we earn for ourselves.
-
I just got operated for hernia.
-
And yet I work hard with a surgery. I offer massages to earn money.
-
Our leader can feed us without us having to work at all.
-
But I don't want him to work in this age.
-
And I just sit and eat.
-
Men have their self respect intact, brother Mateen.
-
Yes.. brother Hamza. You've proven who is a man and a transgender.
-
At least someone should have made a video of Hamza in their phones.
-
I could have seen it as well.
-
Everybody is praising him.
-
He spoke so well.
Mom, stop it.
-
I am worried and your happy.
-
Your jealous of your son in law. Everybody in Prem Gali absolutely loves him.
-
He's a sensible kid.
He isn't sensible.
-
He is more clever than needed.
-
He wasn't like this when they brought his proposal.
-
He looked very simple and I said yes.
-
That simple men make good husbands and clever ones are very difficult.
-
But I saw his true colors now.
-
Rather than being thankful, you're worried.
-
What should I be thankful about? My son in law has such a big mouth.
-
Today he shut up our neighborhood, tomorrow, he'll shut Joya up.
-
Her father was like this. Clever. Look what happened.
-
Come on, mine was simple but look what happened to me.
-
Because, you were simpler than him.
-
And two simple people cannot make things work.
-
This is enough mom.
-
I will have to keep an eye on Hamza for Joya's sake.
-
How come he is becoming so sharp. Under whose influence.
-
He didn't even tell where he got the job.
Why are you after his job?
-
We're giving you a house so that you don't face any problems while coming to work. Its nearby.
-
Thank you so much sir.
-
Actually I'll try my best to not make timings an issue.
-
Don't mind, but I cannot shift in this house.
-
Actually my family..
Yes I found out.
-
You just got married.
-
Yes sir. Our families live with us.
-
We cannot leave them alone and come here.
-
They won't leave. But I really appreciate sir, I'm very very thankful to you.
-
You're welcome.
-
Can I leave sir?
-
Sanata?
-
Yes mam?
-
Do one thing.
-
Yes. Sure.
-
Where are you going?
To do the work.
-
At least let me tell you first what I need you to do.
-
Listen now.
-
Nobody should find out what you're doing.
-
Very clever and silently. I want solid news without anything amiss.
-
Do you understand?
-
Take this money.
-
People insulted the man who was living off his father in law's income.
-
And you wanted Salman to do that too.
-
I was thinking for Salman's betterment.
Stop it mom.
-
Don't try and cover your greed.
-
Your love spoiled him. You didn't let him study or do something.
-
Now if he thinks to earn something because of that girl, we should be thankful.
-
As if she's the one who did everything for him. He never listened to his mother as it is.
-
Look at him, look. How he is hunting for a job because she said so.
-
Yes I am because Hamza and Abdul Maria opened my eyes.
-
But should I call Abdul Maria as an uncle or aunt?
-
Get lost. Go ask him what you should call him?
-
And go tell Mateen.
Why don't you go yourself.
-
No. Let mom be. I'll go myself.
-
Otherwise he'll compel her again.
-
Let me do one thing, I'll take Hamza along. He'll set brother Mateen straight.
-
Ge lost, you idiot.
-
I'm back.
-
Where were you? Where were you since so many hours?
-
I had to do everything myself. I couldn't even take mom to doctor.
-
Leave my ear at least.
-
Where were you?
I went for your work.
-
Didn't you ask me to stalk Hamza and find out where he went?
-
I asked you to go in the morning, he'll be home by now.
-
You had to tail him in the morning to find where his office is.
-
And you just need an excuse. Excuse..
-
Now count them and gather these up.
