"Kaala, come up, get up now!"
Did you piss on your bed last night?
Pissboy!
I pissed on your bed, boy.
Pissboy!
- Pissboy! - Pissboy!
Pissboy!
Hey!
Calm down, man!
Don't ruin it for this a*****!
Today is your parole day.
This is your chance to get out early.
Burglary.
Aggravated assault.
Possession of illegal firearms.
These charges clearly outweigh your good behaviour.
It's not what I did.
It's the way I look.
The color God painted my clay with.
Don't take that tone with us.
I am not a criminal.
I am an artist.
Every criminal thinks he is an artist.
Thanks, I guess.
You still have two minutes of your time.
Would you like to say anything else?
Would you truly want to listen?
So, I came to Canada when I was...
This young.
I don't remember anything before that.
But I clearly remember all that happened after that.
And this is my story...
"Yeah!"
"You what time it is when Kaala spits these floors?"
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"I did mic check, 1-2-3 and 4!"
"There were many when I was beaten up first."
"At the time, I was street smart and became guilty."
"I spit fire all over, the wires of my mind are shaken."
"Jotting down everything in my book,"
"Dog-like people keep staring at my skin."
"I am locked in a cage; I never beg for anything."
"I'll blow them away just by my sneeze!"
"In the ups and downs of life, I've seen a lot."
"Where I was alone, my friends stood by me."
"I fought for my rights, and that's why I ended up in jail."
"Nowadays, both the whites and blacks are jealous of the Singhs."
"You asked for it, f****!"
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"I will exit the same way I had entered."
"I accept everything that God has planned for me."
"I have brought down the most renowned one's too!"
"You can call me anything but a liar."
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
Hey! Kaala! Sardar!
Hey, did you wash your hand after urinating?
No, I didn't. Son of a gun!
Tidde!
How did you get an early release?
It's easy to fool these whites.
Is it?
Talk about racial discrimination.
Like, you white people are biased against us.
And those idiots get guilty conscious.
You, you will never change. Here you go.
Your phone.
"There was no mother, no father, no day, no night,"
"no path, no breath, no happiness, just sadness."
"It was a street, not a car,"
"there was hard work, there were losses, endless struggles."
"And this is how I grew to be a man."
"Had no money for food, so where did the strength come from?"
"But my pride is intact."
"I used to feel ashamed before, now my voice doesn't falter."
"When I faced tough times and so I said, get up..."
"And then all my enemies went silent."
"Upon seeing a beautiful lady, I told her to wait!"
"I have seen a lot sadness in life,"
"and so I say, Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
- Come on, take me there. - Where?
There...
You fool! You've come out after 6 months
and your first wish is to meet her.
Tidde, aren't you my friend?
Listen up, don't take much time.
I'm meeting her after 6 months!
Then you'll be done in 2 minutes.
Go on.
What's wrong?
Now, I just want to make my music.
And make her your official sister-in-law.
That’s' it.
No more illegal jobs, man!
Did you get an early release or did you break out?
I was missing you so much, I had to break out.
Come on, Kaala. Just leave now.
My examinations begin day after tomorrow.
And, I need to study.
My brother's getting married.
And I haven't done my shopping yet!
- While you're sitting here and... - Will you marry me?
What the f***!
What did you say?
Marry me.
Me and you.
You and me.
We will shift to Montreal.
I'll hunt for a job there.
Besides, I have no case on me there.
And, I'll change this.
I'll cut my hair.
Kaala, it's not about the hair. You know, I just...
I can't just leave everything and just go.
I'm not asking you to leave right away.
- Kaala, I know that... - Yeah.
We have time.
Take your time. Take your own sweet time. Yes, Tidde.
F***! F***! Shit!
Come on now, Kaala!
Why are you taking time? Why don't you get up? Come on now.
Kaala, there's nothing in there.
It's nothing. There's nothing...
Kaal...
He is my friend, Kaala.
Oh! I thought he is a thief.
What the f*** you are doing man!
Kaala!
Do you even know who he is?
- His father is a sheriff. - You trying with her?
He touched you, right?
And I let him do it.
Hit me then. What's his mistake?
Roop, but this is how we do things.
If I make a mistake, you hit me.
If you make a mistake, I will hit them.
Because we love each other.
This is not love, Kaala!
This is not love at all!
So you were fooling me all this time?
I'd told you, don't ever fool me!
And that's exactly what you did.
Fooled me!
Now, I’ll make a fool of you!
I’ll make a fool of you. You!
You will be fooled. You!
You be the fool. Be the fool!
You will be the fool here...
- Be a fool now! Fool... - Stop it, Kaala.
We made a huge mistake that day by swiping right.
We are not meant to be.
This is not supposed to be.
There's nothing good about this relationship!
It's f**** poison, Kaala. It's poison!
It's f**** toxic!
And I f**** hate myself for it
and I f**** hate you for it.
- You don't hate me. - I do.
Roop, love is poison.
And you are my poison.
But I don't want you, Kaala.
His father is the Chief Police Officer of Surrey.
It's right. Your name is right.
Kaala.
You are a f**** dark person!
Always dark.
You are a flawed human, you scoundrel!
Kaala!
Kaal...
I...
Don't know...
I don't want to go to jail again.
Come with me.
Let's go!
I don't want to go to jail again.
Do you trust me?
- You're the only one I trust. - Okay, good then.
What have you done now?
Did you murder someone?
Kaala, where did you keep the passport?
In the cupboard.
Fake ones or the original...
Oh man! Everything is in there.
Passport?
You swine, open your mouth, will you!
I'm starving and I'm eating right now.
Starving, my foot!
I have ruined my entire life.
I broke my bones driving a truck, so that I could raise you properly.
What kind of upbringing did I give that you turned out like this!
Because you never let me be what I wanted to be.
You never let me sing or play the Guitar.
Whatever I am is all thanks to you!
Everyone just says, what have I become!
One day, I'll become a star!
You won't get to see my face.
Kaala, come on.
- Hmm? - Come on. Come on!
You live with such criminals.
One day, there will be news of your encounter.
It would've been better had you died with your mother.
It would have been great had I died after my mother.
I wouldn't have to see her memories getting ruined.
I have only seen my mother in a photograph.
But in reality, I have seen mother 2, mother 3, mother 4.
When you got escorts home, you think, I didn’t know?
I used to see everything from up there.
You are talking to your father, you rascal!
That's the problem.
Sheriff Bouchard!
Get out of the way!
M***** F*****!
I'm going.
I will never show you my face! Got that.
And I'm taking what’s mine.
Sir, what's wrong? We are just playing.
The white cop is heading in.
I can't stop him any longer.
Run!
Sir, it's all clear.
There's nobody here.
Satnam, pray hard
that my son survives
because if he doesn't...
no power on Earth,
will save your son
from my wrath!
You got it?
You ordered a pizza, a******!
Pizza seems more important to you!
Ph-phone.
Sorry for the inconvenience, guys.
License and registration, please.
- Ahh! Expecting? - Yes.
- How many months? - 8 months.
- How many months is it? - 8 months!
Thank you.
Put it down!
Check that car.
What the f*** is this checking for man!
Don't you move. Hey!
Don't you try this with me.
- Be good. - Lift.
- Hands back. - These shoes cost 80 thousand bucks.
Let go off me.
I had told you to play Hindi songs.
This is what happens when you play Punjabi songs.
Sir, there's an important piece of information.
The phone you asked me to trace
is found, but it's changing location fast.
Okay, I'm on my way.
Okay. Turn. Turn around!
What-what have I done?
Where did you get this phone?
A guy gave me this. He took the pizza and gave me this.
Here, keep some money. You might need it.
Once you're in India, switch it on.
India?
Punjab.
India.
Alright then.
I'll see you soon.
"I used to laugh openly,"
"lived life to the fullest,"
"my dreams were shattered,"
"my heart was heavy."
"Life has now become a whirlwind."
"There was a time when I was a conqueror."
"They closed the doors and windows,"
"and locked me inside."
"Death is better than life."
"I can't understand this disease."
"Ask the delicate flowers too,"
"how difficult is it for me to breathe!"
"What was my fault, tell me?"
"That all troubles come to me."
"I trust only you right now," and there's nothing more left."
Why are you going back and forth? It doesn't matter anyway!
Greetings.
Biji.
Is anyone there?
Yes. Who are you?
Tidde sent me here.
Oh, yes.
We'll go to the room upstairs.
She is Biji.
She can't talk.
Come on up.
Here you go. This is your room.
Go inside already.
Hey! One minute.
Give me the money.
The money. Dollar.
'You are a f**** dark person!'
"You what time it is when Kaala spits these floors."
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"I did mic check, 1-2-3 and 4!"

"I accept to all that God has planned for me."
"I have brought down the most renowned one's too!"
"You can call me anything but a liar."
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"My wrong ways never turned into right."
"I have only one friend,"
I'm going insane. I don't understand what to do.
Answer my call, bro!
I haven't even washed my clothes.
I am sending you photos of what I am eating, ok?
I have been eating the same thing for a week.
Call me!
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
"I will exit the same way I had entered."
"I accept all that God has planned for me."
"I have brought down the most renowned one's too!"
"You can call me anything but a liar."
"Kaala, come on, get up now!"
Hey! Harbeer, how are you?
You remember the last time you came to Canada?
- Yes. - We had so much fun!
Hey, you remember the white girl
who was going to press charges against you?
A******! How I got you out of that mess, you remember?
Just tell me what you want.
I think. I think, it's about time that you return the favour.
There's a friend,
can you get him a job at your bar?
A 55 year old misbehaved with you?
Yes, sir.
The guest is always right.
Okay, sir.
Come on now.
Straighten your cap.
Harbeer sir, Tidde must have called you.
I'm Kaala, from Canada.
- Hey, sir. - Look...
Whatever you have or haven’t done,
I'm least interested in that.
People leave this place and go to Mexico,
then to America and then Canada.
But your journey has been in reverse.
I am sure, you have done something wrong.
Tidde hasn't said anything to me.
But this is not Canada.
This is Punjab.
If you mess-up here,
you won't stand a chance to escape!
Got that?
Can you drive?
Yes. I can drive any car.
I have an international license also...
My dear international boy!
You aren't going to some rally.
It's for valet parking. 10 meters here, 10 meters there.
Okay? You can start today.
Rich people come here.
If you work hard, you get better tips.
Tidde, thank you!
Love you too!
- Go on. - No. It's the new boy's turn.
Hold this.
Hey, mister!
Hey, the car.
So...
- What have you thought? - No.
Think about it once.
No. And no means no.
- What's wrong? - I can't find my phone.
Can't find it?
What if he has taken my phone?
Hello?
It's been so long since that happened.
Just forget it.
No matter how long it's been,
I am the same person.
Yes.
- Hey, come here. - Dad has always respected you and that continues.
I am 100% sure about it.
- Where is the phone? - Whose phone?
Hey, where is my phone?
You should have your phone.
I am managing the music part.
With no interference from my dad.
Hey! I said, I don't have the phone.
You should sing with Teeja Sur.
Don't get me wrong here, your father considers himself
as a watchguard of the Punjabi music industry.
Anyway, answer this.
Can anyone keep music captive?
Can anyone be a watchguard of music?
But my dear, Punjab was looted by its own guards.
Hi, Jazz.
Jazz? Jasmine?
You played the drums in a song recently, right?
Stand straight.
It went viral also.
Are you with him?
I don't have the phone.
Why are you using force?
- They make the artist wait for 4-5 years, - What are you checking?
then say that your time is up.
Check those parts also where your hands can't reach. Check properly!
- Hey! - How dare you slap me?
Hello!
What's going on, man?
They are your people, right?
They are doing this because of you.
Leave him. Let him go.
What are you trying to say?
I fail to understand,
why does an artist need 15 bouncers after becoming famous?
Weren't you a normal person like us at one point?
An artist is neither normal nor special.
There is no such category as lower-upper-middle.
I'm an artist too.
Everyone becomes an artist these days.
Am I right, Mr. Square?
Looks like another brawl.
- Let's go. - Let's go before there's a ruckus here.
- See you, Guru. - Yes.
"Kaala! Kaala!"
Go!
"In big cars, with tinted windows,"
"they roam around, wearing dark glasses,"
"they can't see the common man's sorrow."
"They fly in the sky and never walk on the ground."
"Surrounded by crowds, they act bold,"
"Whether it's late or early, they don't know,"
"where time will take them,"
"when such a time comes,"
"even big trees break,"
"but a storm can never uproot grass."
"I am fully prepared."
"My turn will come someday."
"Those on whom I have a debt to settle"
"call me a gambler."
"I might have lost my brain! Lost my mind!"
"My karma is huge, I am fully prepared."
"Check! Check! Square! Number one!"
Go! Go! Go!!
"There was a time when I was in your place."
"I kept preparing all day long and all long nights."
"My relatives taunted me, and wished I never died."
"I would talk things that made no sense."
"I worked for small time jobs,"
"and got success in that too."
"I would mock any house on fire."
"Others brightness became my power."
"Dance with no care,"
"I am of this birth, not of seven births."
"Those on whom I had debts,"
"those are the ones who used to call me a gambler."
"I might have lost my brain! Lost my mind!"
"My pen is mightier but my brain is lost!"
Hey, why did we stop?
Someone, give me a beat!
"Nobody could be a renowned person just like that."
"Just my losing your mind, you can't burn down the Lanka."
"It's all destined already, no man could do anything more."
"Keep faith and your time will come."
"I might have lost my brain! Lost my mind!"
"My pen is mightier but my brain is lost!"
"Lost my mind! Lost my mind! Lost my mind! Lost my mind!"
"My pen is mightier but my brain is lost!"
Sorry, sorry. Sorry.
I didn't check my phone, I would have come out.
This mess wouldn't have happened.
Guru, he is a new boy at the job. I'll fire him right away.
Hey, Square.
I respect my ordinary clients so much and you are a celeb!
Brother, relax!
Don't fire the boy. The boy has a fire inside!
Actually, fire him.
The boy has a fire inside, he might do great things.
- Hi. - Hi.
Need a ride?
Well, no. I'll manage.
A girl is offering you a lift on a deserted road.
No point in being kind nowadays.
Where are you heading?
Outskirts of Mohali.
You're damn good.
Where'd you learn music?
By myself.
Nice.
- Where are you from? - Canada.
And you, where are you from?
Basically from Delhi but I'd shifted to London.
I came here 2 years ago.
I have featured in 2 music videos till now.
And a single…
I mean, I'm waiting to launch my single.
But it's a bit weird out here.
I don't know, I think
networking, parties, contacts. You know the usual.
Some people are so strange that
I just feel like punching them.
Anyway, I am Jazz. Jasmine.
You?
I am Kaala.
And I am fair.
- Hello. - A******, what have you done?
Hello?
- Hello? - You did a rap battle with MC Square?
- Tidde? Hello? - Hello.
- Hello! - Wait...
Oh no, this phone.
- Hello? - Scoundrel! I had sent you there to be underground,
and not an underground artist!
If I can see your video in Canada,
won't the cops see it, you scoundrel!
Tidde, you are on speaker.
Motherf**** speaker!
The guy whose son you've beaten up so badly,
will come there and kill you. Got that?
I'd told you not to mess around anymore.
You'll have to catch a bus to Amritsar right now!
My friend will meet you at the Amritsar bus stand.
I've sent him the money. He will give you the airline ticket,
and quietly you must leave for Germany.
Got that, you scoundrel!
India is not safe right now.
You will have to leave that place, scound...
That's it, stop here.
I'm sorry for...
I mean, thank you.
Actually, it's a very long story so...
No problem. Bye.
Thanks again.
- Oh god! - I don't know what's the deal between you and Tidde.
Why do I do this to myself!
He called me.
And asked me to throw you out from here.
- Yes. - Take your luggage
- and get out of here! - Alright, I'm going.
Jazz, why do only you encounter such characters?
I agree, you are attracted to talent.
But toxic?
Ok everyone is a little toxic. But criminal?
Hey!
Need help?
Thanks. I will manage.
I came here from Canada to become a valet.
It's my job to move cars.
Wait, wait.
Thank you.
Thanks again.
Just don't look behind.
Don't look. Don't look.
Crap!
Keep your luggage in and sit.
Just keep your mouth shut.
Amritsar airport, right?
You heard everything?
Yes.
It's called a loudspeaker for a reason.
I have served time.
I don't need to know.
It's been only a month since I am out of jail.
Please, first you will tell me all and then
maybe the cops will interrogate me.
And I'm afraid to get beaten up.
So, I might spill everything in minutes.
Hence I told you to keep it zipped.
Actually, at times It’s easier
to share with people you don’t know.
It's called the comfort of strangers.
I had opted for Psychology in college.
Really?
Before I dropped out.
Of course!
A valet, who raps!
Turns out to be a criminal!
Add to that, he has studied psychology!
Your resume has expanded a lot within a matter of 2 hours, hasn’t it?
I feel a bit of relief.
After leaving this place.
It feels good to be with you.
And your drumming is excellent!
Thanks!
And I think, I love you.
Do you think you are in a movie?
Are you out of your mind?
Research has proved that
it only takes 25 seconds to fall in love with someone,
while it takes them 90 days to confess.
And ma'am, I don't have 90 days.
But, this is not love.
- Then what is love? - It's like...
Like when you're on stage,
with someone, under a spotlight.
Then,
nothing else is visible,
than those two people.
That's exactly how I see you right now.
So, is it a yes?
Under different circumstances,
and a different life.
Yes, maybe.
Finally, something good happened after coming to Punjab.
- Have you come to Punjab for the first time? - Yes.
How come? Where is your family?
Don't have one.
What?
My mother died when I was a kid.
My father is a trucker.
He is just a father for the sake of it.
He never got me here.
Should I show you my mother's photograph?
She is beautiful.
You look nothing like her.
Thanks.
Look at this on the Gurudwara.
Harnampur.
Do you know where this is?
Yes. I'd shot for an album at a nearby village.
The idiot production never paid me.
Hence I thoroughly remember this place.
Can you take me there?
Amazing! You're taking my kindness for granted.
But you anyway were dropping me to the airport.
Please drop me here.
Who knows, if I ever come back to India again.
This way, I could pay my respect at the Gurudwara for my mother.
- Greeting, Gyaanji. - Greetings.
I wanted to ask you something.
Go ahead.
You must've got many people married.
Did you get them married as well?
I don't get anyone married.
You both may leave now.
Gyaanji.
Could you see it properly? Maybe you’ll remember.
I don't need to remember anything.
It's best that you leave this place.
If just once, got them marr...
Assume that you lost your way.
Lost our way?
Stop the car here. Just give me 5 minutes.
Hey, listen up!
Have you seen them?
- No, brother. We don't know anything. - No, we don't.
We have no idea!
Please see carefully.
No, brother.
- Greetings. - Greetings.
I need some help. Actually...
Yes, tell us.
Do you know her house?
Take a look.
Navpreet.
Listen up! Who are you?
I'm Kaala.
I can see that. What do you want?
She is my mother.
- Mother? - Mother?
Yes.
Wait. Wait right here!
Have you come here alone or did bring someone along?
I came alone but I don't know why is everyone behaving so strangely?
Out! Get out of here.
- Get out! - Hey!
Step out of here.
- Just chill dude. - Dude my foot, just get out of here!
Why are you pushing me?
I'll tell you why, here you go...
Bloody brat!
- Hey! - What are you doing?
Kaala.
Take him away from here!
Or he will end up just like his father!
What did you...
- Stop it. - Stay down!
Get out of here now!
Amrit! Manipal!
Out of here!
Listen up!
Some wounds aren't inflicted by swords or weapons...
...some wounds are such that they don't bleed...
...but their impact is very deep.
Such wounds are given mainly by your loved ones!
We are forgiving you today but henceforth don't ever cross this doorstep!
But that rifle...
Take him away from here.
Sorry. Sorry!
Let's go from here.
Gyaaniji, why did they take out guns on my mother's name?
It's better that some matters stay buried.
Either bury me here or tell me the truth.
Because I won't go until I know the truth.
Okay?
- Guns won't just come out for no reason. - Sit down.
Because whom you think is your father,
he actually is not your father.
What rubbish are you talking, Gyaaniji?
Look at this.
This photograph.
See it carefully.
Look.
Satnam is your uncle.
Navpreet was married to Satnam's elder brother,
Tara Singh.
And you,
you are Tara Singh's son, my dear.
- Tara Singh, the Legend? - Yes.
This is a lie.
My dear, the truth is...
Today, the rifles didn't point at you because you are Navpreet's son,
but because...
You are Tara Singh's son.
My dear...
You don't have any family here.
You only have enemies, that's all.
'There is a mausoleum a little further down.'
'Please pass by from there.'
Jazz, stop.
Kaala, you have to reach Amritsar. You're running late.
Jazz, I guess, I'm already too late.
"Come on all you people!"
"Tara! Tara!"
"Just for my love,"
"we would endure any pain."
"The one who messes with us, we won't spare them."
"We make them apologies all those who mess with us!"
"Borders continue to exist; you're a girl from Lahore."
"There is a 6-foot wall; we can't admire nothing beyond it."
"Borders continue to exist;"
"you're a girl from Lahore."
'I want to pee.'
'Son, do it later.'
'Look at your father, on the stage.'
'I sing for all of you.'
'Today, I will introduce you to someone,'
‘For whom I write.'
'My beloved.'
'Navpreet.'
'Brother! Brother!'
"Kaala, come up, get up now!"
