Shame on you!
You brought a young man into the room!
Who told you to open the door?
He was ringing the bell constantly!
You were saying prayers. What if he had gone away?
So what if he had gone away? Why do you want that computer so badly?
What about the fact that you made me keep making tea for him?
I said, make the tea. I didn't say sit and chat with him.
I wasn't chatting with him.
I was telling him about the computer.
And you were talking about Nofil! What about that?
Let's just forget about all this.
Don't come out in front of a boy ever again.
I don't want to anyway.
The problem with my computer...
I will throw that computer out.
Throw me out too.
I just might!
That boy didn't do the job.
I had no reason to give him the tea.
What could I do?
Someone is waiting in hope...
...and I should say sister...
...I can't do anything for you.'
One just treats someone with respect.
Mom, you don't care about your respect, but how about saving mine?
Why did you have to give her hope?
She thinks I will speak to Nofil.
I will call in a day or two and resolve it.
I had thought about it.
Why do you have to arrange weddings?
Why are you being so empathetic, anyway?
Did I ask you why you are being so empathetic?
Without asking me...
...you gave them my number.
So she could call me and get the matchmaker's number.
What could I do? I went there to work.
She asked for the number and I gave it. I couldn't say no.
Right. My boy gets cowed down.
He can't say no!
But his mom can say no...
...and uncaring and a turncoat too!
Okay. I am wrong.
Okay?
Henceforth I won't go to their house.
And you won't take her calls anymore. Okay?
That's it.
See, mom?
Sohail really cares for them.
Yes. I can see that.
Do you hear what he is fussing about?
Nofil must not marry her daughter.
Imagine, what is it about?
Why doesn't he want Nofil to marry the younger daughter?
Sobiya?
He has driven me partly mad...
...and now you don't finish the job. Let me drink my tea.
Sit still, Salma.
You've been pacing since forever.
So will your daughter go for the protest at the Press club?
I've told her not to.
But she said the association...
...is going and so she can't say no.
She can make some excuse.
She can give a certificate of illness.
I told her that too.
But she says that if she needs it in the future...
...the association won't help her...
...if she boycotts it.
What do we do? Should I go to my farewell?
Or should I go to the protest with your daughter?
Tell Salauddin to take her.
When would he have the time?
Who will she go with then?
She spoke to Tanzeel.
Thank God! I have been spared since so many days.
If we meet in college...
...there is no other talk apart from Hi and Bye.
I am finally saved from Professor Jahangir.
Yes, but I am in trouble.
I will have to go in front of the Press Club for the hunger strike.
Sweat it out in the sun all day.
Make slogans and not eat anything.
I have been telling you to change jobs since a while.
You have been holding on since it's a...
...government job and you'll get tenure.
It's not easy to get jobs.
I have a decent pay.
Anyway.
Tanzeel said he would come with me.
He will arrange for food too.
How long will he sit there for?
He can't leave his shop and sit by your pillow all day.
He said he would, but let's see.
Watch where you go.
What is with Salma?
Since she got back from the college she has been pacing.
She seems morose today.
Don't embarrass her.
Salauddin, did you find out about my computer? - Yes.
The UPS guy said he would install Windows...
...and send it by the evening.
So he will send it.
When will he send it? It's so late.
What are you so restless about?
He will send it today or tomorrow.
He promised for today. Please ask him.
Okay, I will go.
Let me complete a few errands I have to do...
...then I will go to him on the way back home.
Okay, let me open the gate for you.
Where is Salma? Call her.
Salma! Come in.
We are going to eat.
I will wait for Salauddin.
She has never waited for Salauddin before.
He will eat and get home. He said so.
He is with friends.
No, I will wait.
Let's begin.
No, you never get angry with me, so...
...I thought it was strange.
I spoiled you.
You are the one who gets angry.
What can I do? All I do is convince you.
Okay.
Now you've calmed down, right?
That is enough for me. - Wow.
You're being very caring about me today.
Obviously.
You are my oldest friend.
I have not had any male friends for so long.
A friend?
Are you going to keep it to being friends?
The prawns are good, right? Very nice.
They look like poison to me.
Oh! Can I order something else?
Excuse me... - Don't bother.
Don't order another dish to change the subject and waste money.
Tell me you don't want to discuss this, clearly.
What is the topic, Nausheen?
About us getting married.
You said, you've got a boy coming over to meet you.
So what? I will say no to him for you.
I have turned down many offers even before.
Nausheen, I have loads of issues.
I have two sisters who aren't married and you know it.
I know and understand.
I am not asking to be married.
Let's get engaged.
I will wait for you.
Five years, ten years. - They won't accept that.
Do you know if I tell them this...
...they will tell me I am being selfish.
What is it? They seemed like poison to you earlier.
Sometimes, you have to...
...consume the poison too.
Greetings, Salauddin. - Hello. Greetings.
Didn't you get the computer?
He hasn't repaired it yet.
Hello? - Is this Sohail?
Yes. - Do you even realise anything?
Why did you make a promise if you weren't going to keep it?
I don't understand you. Who is this?
Why did you take the computer when you were not going to return it?
The day is almost over...
...and I am telling you if you do repair the computer now...
...I won't pay you a penny.
Are you Sallu's sister?
No matter whose sister I am, it's not yours!
Don't you dare call me sister.
Listen, your...
...computer has a lot of issues.
'Just like your mind.'
'The Windows is not the only thing corrupted.'
'There are other things missing and it's very bad.'
The computer has been opened up.
I will go and check in the morning. So please don't worry.
You should have told me that.
I have been waiting since the evening.
You should have called and told me yourself.
You sat down to drink tea at once.
What was so great about the tea or the juice you gave me?
Why did you drink it then? Who forced you?
When Salauddin came to your shop...
...you should have given him the computer.
If your brother had come to my shop I would have told him...
...that it is in bad shape.
And do one thing. I can't repair your computer.
Take it from me in the morning, please.
'There's you and then there's her.'
'She is so rude!'
Why are you calling me constantly? I...
...said you'll get the computer tomorrow.
I am telling you...
...if you spoil it and give it back...
...you will regret it.
You kept it for one whole day.
Now repair it and then return it.
What a strange woman!
It is up to me to repair the computer or not.
Now I am going to hang up and switch off my phone. So, try to call me back.
Now what happened to you?
Are you standing and counting stars there?
I still have one day of work to go.
I am not retired yet.
You're already mocking me!
Come on! Why would I mock you?
I just said one thing and you blew it out of proportion!
You will retire tomorrow.
Why are you losing it today?
You won't understand...
...what I am going through right now.
What's on my mind. - What?
Why won't I understand?
I have to answer to the world.
What does the father do? He is a retired officer.
I have to cook up the lies, too.
I will beat my skull against the wall and die.
You will be a widow and you won't have to lie.
Then you can live at ease and happily. - What?
May my enemies get widowed!
He's really lost it.
I am so restless!
There is a hunger strike tomorrow.
I have to spend all day at the strike.
I need tea every half hour.
What will happen, Shazia?
You will go insane if you don't get tea.
That is it.
Why did they choose me? Why do I have to take the lead?
I have pleaded illness so many times!
Nobody bothered to listen.
I have decided.
Tanzeel mentioned a job.
I will do that.
I can't bear this ad hoc humiliation anymore.
What is your problem?
Why are you pacing around?
I can't sleep, so what can I do?
This is a fine mess.
If we weren't friends, I would leave it there at once.
She palmed off this lousy PC onto me.
Like it's not junk and some fancy Silicon Valley gadget!
Where did this go?
Hello? Yes, Sohail?
Where is the back cover...
...of the Pentium 4? - The back? Which one?
Must I appear in your dream to tell you? The back cover!
It was on the counter.
So, was that back cover meant to be put back on it?
What do you mean?
What do you mean by that? - No!
I think that...
...was put on Akhtar's computer.
He was in a rush.
There was a crack on the back cover. That's why.
Don't come to the shop from tomorrow. I will kill you.
Sit down!
Hold her sticks and all.
Listen, now.
If the media arrives there...
...don't come forth. Hide your face.
What is the use of all my make-up then?
The association has me on the pictures. I am the spokesperson.
For now you are the spokesperson for talking back!
Aunt, don't worry. It will be fine.
Listen, if the police arrives there...
...and there is a lathi charge and all that...
...run away. - Don't worry, aunt.
I will run away with her before they arrive.
Why are you in mourning?
It's nothing.
Are you in love?
This isn't love.
Okay, did aunt allow you to go to Natalia's place?
There is a huge problem in my life now.
What is it?
My computer is on the fritz.
Stop crying now.
What can I do?
Come. Let's go and eat something.
I asked for my daughters and you got a proposal for my son.
You asked for a proposal for your son too.
But Mahjabeen told me...
...both the boy and the girls have to be married off.
Yes, that has to be done.
But I want a daughter to get married first.
But it's a wonderful proposal.
The family is very highly placed.
That's why I got it.
You know if the son marries up and nicely...
...the girls of the family get better proposals.
What is this proposal? - She is an only child.
The girl has a house in Defence and it's for her.
There are 3 other homes, too.
There 3 brothers who are out of Pakistan.
They are all doctors.
One is in the UK, one in Canada...
...and one is in the US. She has no mother.
Her father is a retired officer.
You could say she owns property worth millions.
People cling to me for such proposals.
But since Mahjabeen told me about you...
...I thought I'd talk to you first.
It seems a good enough proposal.
How old is she? - She is 24.
She is good looking...
...and very attractive.
She has very good educational qualifications.
This is the ideal kind of proposal like your son wanted.
Okay. I will discuss it and let you know.
Excuse me, Ms. Shabana.
Can I sit here?
With you?
Yes, sit down.
Please.
I guess I am disturbing you, but...
...I have something important to say to you.
Listen...
...I want to say sorry in advance if you object to what I'm saying.
Please don't be upset.
I want to send my family to your place.
What for? - Because I like you.
And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
But I won't waste my life with you.
So please don't bother bringing your family to my place.
Can you tell me why?
If I can do something for you, or you want something, tell me.
You are not my ideal.
But you are my ideal!
I could be the ideal for anyone!
But you can't be ideal for everyone.
I am sorry for being so blunt.
I don't really mind anything you say.
In fact I never felt bad about anything you ever said.
One listens to mean words from the one whom one loves.
Don't rush.
Take your time and let me know.
You... - Please.
Let it be now. Think it over.
Then tell me about it.
Goodbye.
The announcement for the Fulbright is out. Did you see the newspaper?
When did it arrive? - Today.
I am going to get admission for the GRE.
Come along if you want to prepare. We can do it together.
I need to ask mom.
She is already regretting letting me do the MA.
Now if I tell her I want to do my PhD and that too abroad...
Will marriage and proposals...
...be put aside for an education and a career?
There are so many lecturers like you who got an admission.
Some went to Washington, some went to California.
While you have been waiting for your ideal man and proposals...
...and wasting a chance to apply every year.
Anyway, it's up to you.
I will apply this time.
Greetings, mom.
Greetings.
Shabana, clean the rice for me.
I seem to have forgotten my glasses somewhere.
Mom.
The Fulbright scholarship has been announced.
I am thinking of applying.
Why? - For the PhD.
I have always scored so well.
They prefer girls.
Since the last 3 to 4 years...
...a lot of lecturers from our college...
...have been selected and gone abroad.
There is no need.
No need for the scholarship or the PhD.
We are suffering already since you have an MA.
Now if you do your PhD, who will marry you?
Everyone wants young girls.
Whether they have a PhD degree or not.
We aren't revealing my real age anyway.
We keep lying.
We will lie about it later too.
I have done nothing for years because of these hopes.
I will get married this year, I will get married. - What?
Am I not trying hard enough?
Do you think I like...
...having my old daughters decked up and sitting at home?
I am losing sleep over this.
When I see you, you are sitting around...
...and all of them are doing nothing.
That's why I say, don't lose sleep over this.
Let me fly out of here.
Should I just let go?
What about the family, clan, community?
What will they say?
We don't want these American ways.
That is meant to ruin our daughters.
You will sit and clean the rice.
As if! She wants to do her PhD.
Of course, all the problems are imported
Our country has resolved all issues where girls are concerned.
Sohail.
Akhtar isn't at home.
And his wife refused to give the computer.
I can't even get through to his cell.
I don't know, but you better find him.
If that back cover is not found...
...you're in trouble. Get lost. Go find it.
Get lost! Go and find it.
We will take... - Our share!
Give us... - What we want!
Ad hoc teachers... - Should get tenure.
These cruel measures... - Are not acceptable to us.
Until the teachers are troubled...
...there will be war!
Sir, one moment. The girl in the white scarf...
...give her this. - We will have war.
Until the teacher are troubled... - There will be war.
These cruel measures... - Are not acceptable to us.
Ad hoc teachers... - Should get tenure.
Ad hoc teachers... - Should get tenure. - Give us what...
...we want! - It contains a burger, biryani and fruit.
I will bring tea and samosas in the evening.
And this bag here... - Until the teachers are troubled...
Until the teachers are troubled, there will be...
...war. - ...give it to the girl in white clothes.
Why?
Why are you sympathetic to her?
No, that man said give her the bag.
Okay, listen.
Bring the tea and samosas for the evening...
...a bit early. I will be hungry by then.
Okay. I'll leave now.
Hey! - Ad hoc teachers... - Should get tenure.
Give us what we want.
Bring curds and jalebi too. - These cruel...
...measures... - Are not acceptable to us.
Until the teacher are troubled... - There will be war.
This is a very strange...
...moment for me.
I am pleased and happy that...
...I am free of the duties...
...of this department.
I am also emotional...
...about leaving this position...
...and I do regret it.
I don't understand what I...
...will do after leaving this place.
Mr. Sajjad, such...
...love, dedication and that kind of sentiment...
...we are proud of you.
I don't know what I am going to do!
I never took a day off from office unless I was sick!
When I got into the job 30 years ago...
...I figured I would die and then leave this place.
One moment.
If my wife laughed like that...
...I could forgive me.
How can you both laugh so cruelly?
We are not laughing, brother.
We are sharing your sorrow.
Don't you remember six months ago...
...when I retired?
What was I like?
What about the shop?
That has...
I will think of it after getting my gratuity and PF money.
I get a sense...
...you are going to set up a huge business.
History has revealed...
...that the biggest people have begun...
...the biggest endeavours from the smallest places.
A lot of people have done that at this age.
I have heard about the KFC guy.
What was the story, Ghulam Rasool?
Tell us?
Okay, I am leaving. - Okay, goodbye.
Who are the garlands for?
Is anyone going to the graveyard?
I will show you the way to the graveyard.
I retired! Those flowers were given to me there.
Congratulations to you.
What is the matter with him? He congratulated me for retiring!
Well, then my condolences?
Just go, and take your condolences. Go on!
That's just for show. - What?
Relax!
What is it, Sajjad?
I am so happy you are here!
I was asking you to come over since so long.
I arranged my younger daughter's marriage.
I came to distribute sweets for that.
I thought, I would give it to you first.
Fabulous! You are free of your final duty.
Come on in. - Yes.
Thank God for that.
But how is that my final duty?
I still have my son to think of.
Boys are not a duty.
That is confined to girls.
Boys get married anyway.
No, even the boys have...
...a tough time finding good proposals.
Yes. You are right.
Your house is lovely!
Thank you! It's our own house. - Fantastic.
Let me give you the tour of the rest of the house.
Yes, of course. - Let's go.
"Folk song."
Why did you go there?
I was distributing sweets.
I thought I would visit them too.
Such nice people! They keep inviting me back.
You must go to anyone from the locality who invites you.
Don't bother to talk too much.
They are good people. It's a good family and they are doing well.
What can we do?
I had an idea after going there.
What?
Well...
...how about their daughter for Sohail?
The younger one, Salma. She is lovely.
Mom, Sohail won't marry in this locality.
Don't you remember what we decided?
Yes, of course! After all, your brother is the governor elect!
We will marry him into Governor's house.
