Coffee.
You did not prepare tea today?
You don't like it.
I don't understand peoples likes, dislikes, right and wrong.
What's the matter, mom?
Are you concerned about dad's health?
It's a small laser surgery and it will take place one month from now.
He will start taking medicines from tomorrow.
Everything is under control.
All is well.
Are you okay? - Yes.
What would happen to me?
Earlier you used to talk to me every time you had a case.
Ever since this you got this new case you haven't talked to me.
Mom, would it be right to go against someone's will for his own welfare?
When you were young you only liked to eat potatoes.
I had to force you to eat leafy vegetables.
Thank you, mom.
You do understand peoples likes, dislikes, right and wrong.
Thank you.
Good night.
Good night, mom.

I would like to present the closing argument, your Honor.
But, your Honor, according to Defense rules..
..Kainaaz Akhtar's statement is pending.
My client does not wish to address the Court, your Honor.
Have you informed your client that it is more beneficial for her..
..if she addresses the Court directly?
Yes, sir. She knows this. Thank you.
Good.
Prosecution.
Your Honor, prosecution maintains..
..that Kainaaz Akhtar should remain in jail.
Defense wants to show her innocent face and her daughter's..
..to appeal to the Court for mercy.
Then we should also see the faces of those innocent people..
..who are killed by terrorists like her.
We should see their faces as well.
We should take it in consideration.
Your Honor, Kainaaz Akhtar is a Pakistani.
The only reason she infiltratedour country..
..was with the intention of spreading terror.
No matter what the initial charge sheet might be..
..the case should be heard against her with a fresh appeal..
..under state terrorism act.
Our investigating agencies should get a little more time.
Releasing her could prove to be extremely hazardous to us.
If there is a bombing or an attack in future in which she has a hand..
..we will be left with nothing but regret.
That's all, your Honor.
Thank you.
Defense.
Your Honor, man started using words to understand things.
It is said that these words paint a picture.
What picture comes to your mind when I say terrorist?
A man who mercilessly kills people with arms and ammunition.
Someone who spreads terror.
What picture comes to your mind when I say Pakistani?
Lord knows why the same picture comes to our mind..
..which comes to mind when we say terrorist.
We feel there is no need to scrutinize.
We don't need to investigate.
We simply render the verdict.
That is exactly what happened in the case of my client Kainaaz Akhtar.
The Prosecution did not investigate, they did not interrogate..
..they did not try to find evidence.
They simply put a label on her saying she is a terrorist..
..because my client's only fault was that she is a Pakistani.
Almost 50 years have passed, your Honor..
..since India and Pakistan were separated.
Till date I don't understand who is responsible for this beliefs..
..or who is responsible for these conditions.
The people in authority who don't want peace between these countries..
..for their own personal gain.
There is a border treaty and trade treaty between both countries.
We even have transportation for passengers to commute.
But when we talk about peace, we don't get peace, your Honor.
These people don't have any personal gain from peace.
The system is responsible for this.
We, the people who choose the system are responsible.
The system is never hurt.
Only the innocent people are hurt.
The innocent are also hurt when the TV channels and newspapers..
..holler and scream until they change the public's perception.
In the Courtroom the decision is made much later.
The media renders the verdict much earlier..
..and they make innocent people guilty.
Every time a terrorist attack takes place in our country..
..everybody's blood boils. Everyone is enraged.
Even my blood boiled, your Honor, when terrorists killed my brother.
Even I wanted to take a gun and shoot every Pakistani.
My soul was filled with hatred.
But, did Kainaaz Akhtar kill my brother?
Did a Pakistani kill my brother?
A terrorist, an ideology killed my brother.
Will we pass this ideology to the future generations?
Will young children like Seher Akhtar live with this ideology?
Will hatred win there as well?
I wish to narrate a story to you before I rest my case, your Honor.
This story is about a 22 year old girl..
..who gets fed up of the plight in her life..
..and leaps into a river to put an end it.
She mistakenly crossed the border.
The security forces nab her mistaking her for a terrorist..
..and threw her into jail.
In jail she came across an evil jailor...
...who raped her mercilessly.
And he transferred her to another jail to protect his uniform.
When the girl arrives there she finds out that she is pregnant..
..and she gives birth to a child in jail.
Six years have passed since.
That lady is watching her child grow up in jail day after day.
Her family has forgotten her, your Honor.
She has no entity.
She is lost in the darkness of anonymity.
There is no ray of hope in her life.
You probably think this is Kainaaz Akhtar's story.
I request you to imagine for a moment..
..that this is the story of an Indian girl..
..who is imprisoned in a Pakistani jail..
..and this is how she is being treated.
I think it's time we end this ridiculous farce of justice, your Honor..
..and give Kainaaz Akhtar the dignity that she deserves.
I appeal to the Court to acquit Kainaaz Akhtar.
That's all, your Honor.
Despite serving her term in prison..
..Kainaaz Akhtar is in prison even today, after seven whole years.
The Court confesses that sometimes common man faces difficulties..
..and sometimes the country has to take such stern steps..
..for the country's security.
Prosecution has not presented any concrete evidence..
..to prosecute accused Kainaaz Akhtar under the state terrorism act.
..to detain Kainaaz Akhtar's innocent daughter Seher in jail.
This Court regards it a violation of human rights..
Hence the Court acquits Kainaaz Akhtar..
..in the case of State versus Kainaaz Akhtar.
To be released with immediate effect.
And under the circumstances of parentage..
..the Court regards her the legal guardian of her daughter Seher Akhtar..
..and orders the Police to make arrangements..
..to send mother and daughter back to their country as soon as possible.
Congratulations, sir!
Congratulations, ma'am. You won the case.
How do you feel?
Congratulations, Kainaaz!
What is the first thing you will do when you get home?
You have been released after so many years. What are you feeling?
Ma'am, what would you like to tell your government?
Any message for them?
You've won a difficult case. How do you feel?
Would you like to say something to the people, sir?
Look, firstly I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude..
..to Judge Aziz Khatib, bench of Jammu and Kashmir High Court..
..who rendered a historical verdict today.
What next, sir?
After this I just want her to reunite with her family.
What else? Isn't that how it should be?
Her victory today is in fact the victory of truth, victory of hope.
Thank you. - Thank you, sir!
Ms. Kainaaz.
Congratulations.
I did not know about your brother.
Vir is dead.
The same day that you were found..
..the army shot down some militants crossing the border.
My brother's murderer Salim Anwar was one of them.
Unfortunately I secured his release from Court a few months earlier.
And yet you defended me?
I had to defend you, Ms. Kainaaz.
By winning this case..
..you have made me indebted to you.
I cannot express my gratitude to you.
I don't know..
..whether or not I will be able to forgive you. - Kainaaz.
You don't owe me anything.
I don't expect you to forgive me either..
..because I am your culprit.
I will get some peace once Seher and you reach your home.
That is all.
My baby.
You want to go home, my dear?
You want to go?
Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the Queen.
Mummy.
I will meet everyone over there.
Grandma. Grandpa. Uncle.
I will talk a lot to all of them.
I will show them my drawings.
I will recite poems. Okay? - Yes, my dear.
The lawyer will take me to the Wagah border tomorrow morning.
Who cares about me?
My heart will break after bidding you farewell.
Mastani.
Don't do that. You know I don't cry.
Go to your Mr. Farouq.
If not, you always have your lawyer.
Madam, one interview.
Madam, one.
Madam.
Incywincy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
What will I do without you?
What will I do?
Thank you.
Aunt Mastani!
Aunt!
Autn!
Let's go, my dear.
You want to go home, don't you?
Make way, please. We don't have time. Please.
God bless.
Place your hand on this.
Ms. Kainaaz, this is Mr. Ibrahim Alkazi.
He will be our Police escort to the border.
He has taken on the responsibility of completing all our paperwork..
..and escorting us to the border.
Come.
Seher, do you know the place where we are going..
..has a temple which is made entirely of gold.
Gold? - Yes. It is called the Golden temple.
Any wish you make over there is fulfilled.
Wish? - Wish means prayer.
Like our prayer to go home was answered.
Exactly.
Sir, papers.
Goodbye.
These are your documents.
Thank you for everything you did for Seher and me.
You are embarrassing me.
Please forgive me if possible.
Goodbye.
Check the name. Is it on the list?
We have only one nameon our list. Kainaaz Akhtar.
There is no mention of her daughter's name.
What..
What do you mean? I don't understand.
The Court's affidavit clearly states her father is in India.
Mohammed Siddique. He is an Indian.
By that token even your daughter is an Indian.
She does not have permission to enter Pakistan.
That doesn't make sense.
I was born in Pakistan and my daughter was born in India.
How is that any fault of ours.
Pardon me, ma'am.
You were the one who crossed the border.
You will be taken back in your county, not your daughter.
How can a child survive without her mother?
Please help us. You cannot do this.
Forgive me. I am under constraint.
What is..? - Look. Please don't persevere.
If you want to be with your daughter then you must remain in India.
She cannot stay here.
What's the matter? What is the problem?
Her child's name is not on the list.
What?
Show me the documents.
Mummy, why are we returning?
Won't we go to Pakistan?
Mummy, why are we returning?
Won't we go to Pakistan?
We will arrive in Kashmir in 30 minutes.
What is the agenda hereafter?
Shall I drop you off at jail? - Why jail, Mr. Alkazi?
The Court has acquitted her.
As her advocate I shall take on her responsibility.
We shall get the documents remade tomorrow morning..
..and escort her again.
Meanwhile drop us off when we get to the city.
We will manage.
Pardon me. You cannot enter.
Please take her away.
You cannot leave her here at this educational institution.
Sir, she belongs to your religion.
She is needy. She is going through a rough patch.
If you don't permit her to stay at this sacred place..
..who will?
There is a young child and her mother.
Where will they go at night?
Be a little sympathetic.
I cannot offer her a place to stay at this institute..
..as she is tainted.
Take her away from here.
On grounds of humanity...
We know what is going on in the world.
O..
I shall try. Please think about it.
Please do think about it.
Ms. Kainaaz.
Be a little patient. We will manage something.
Thank you for all your help so far.
I shall look after my daughter and myself here onwards.
Why are you venting your frustration for that man on me?
Let's go back to jail, mummy.
I don't like it out here.
The jail is no longer our house.
Why not?
Don't the people from Pakistan want you either?
The people from Pakistan don't want you!
Because of you I cannot go to my mother, my father or junior.
Because of you. Understand?
Forgive me, my dear.
Forgive me. That is not true.
Forgive me.
That is not true. That is not true.
I know you lose your temper when you are hungry.
Aunt Mastani told me.
You are hungry, aren't you?
This way.
Seat Seher over here.
You sit there.
Shall we order? - Order?
Yes, we can order anything you like over here.
We look at the menu and tell the man what we want.
I can tell you? - Yes.
Let me help you.
Over here they have bread sandwiches.
Nice and hot.
And they have milkshake too.
It contains very nice things.
They have fruit custard as well.
It is a dessert with fruits.
What does Seherwish to eat?
I was very mean to you.
Please forgive me.
I thought all my troubles had ended.
Ms. Kainaaz, if the troubles haven't already ended, they will end soon.
First thing tomorrow morning we shall go to the judge's office..
..and collect Seher's documents.
Then all will be well.
In English it is said, this too shall pass.
That is to say, the worst is over.
You have endured so much. This is nothing.
How is the food?
Who lives over here?
I live here, my dear.
With my parents.
You..
..brought us to your house? - Yes.
It's a home of a decent family, Ms. Kainaaz. You need not worry.
Just give me two minutes, Ms. Kainaaz. I'll be right back.
You brought them home?
Yes, but it's only for one night.
Really? And what will happen tomorrow morning?
There's a helpless lady and her six year old daughter.
Where will they go so late at night if we don't offer them shelter?
You might have compassion for the enemy..
..but there's no way I will offer shelter to these Pakistanis in my home.
Or seeing the way you are taking decisions in this house nowadays..
..your mother and I shall leave this house.
The decision is yours.
I apologize. It took more time than I expected.
It's just that the situation at home is not too good, so..
..we shall look for other arrangements.
Did you have a problem because of us? - No, Ms. Kainaaz.
How can you say that?
It's just that there is too much stress between my father and me.
That's why the house feels small.
I apologize.
I have spoken to Rafiq. He has made arrangements for us.
We shall go there.
No. It wouldn't be right if someone faces problems because of us.
No reason to be formal.
It's all in the family. - No.
Okay. We shall make other arrangements.
Please come. Come.
Hello.
Brother. Vedant, here.
Vedant. What's the matter? Is dad alright?
Yes, brother. Perfectly alright. All is good.
Dad is good too.
I'm really sorry for calling at this odd hour.
What's the matter? Is everything okay?
Actually I needed a favor.
Brother, you might have heard that I took on a case recently.
Yes, mom told me.
I want to talk to you with regards to that.
I was talking to my..
I was talking to my older brother Dhruv.
He has a small house nearby, which he purchased few years ago..
..for investment purposes.
It is small but Seher and you will manage.
But..
Ms. Kainaaz, you two can stay there comfortably...
...until the paperwork is completed.
We shall go there first thing tomorrow morning.
We will have to spend the night here.
You can stay here. I will be out here.
It is very cold outside.
You may stay inside.
Careful.
Come. Come.
This is brother Dhruv's house.
Let me just bring the keys.
Welcome, son. - Greetings, uncle.
Dhruv called this morning. I have the keys here.
Take it, son.
Thank you. Thank you, uncle.
Greetings.
I'll see you later, uncle.
Of course. Of course. I'll see you.
Come in.
Come, Seher.
I have put your belongings here.
You two can sleep here comfortably.
There's a kitchen inside and a bathroom as well.
It is a little small, Ms. Kainaaz, but it will suffice for you two.
Let me show you the terrace. It is very nice.
Come. Come.
Ms. Kainaaz, please make yourself comfortable downstairs.
I'll bring some things.
I'll be back soon.
Is this our house? So big?
No, Seher. This is only for a few days.
I'll be right back.
Pardon me but a report has been filed against you..
..for being here still and not going to Pakistan.
I tried to explain the problem to the DIG..
..but he wouldn't listen.
What are you doing?
We are arresting you under public safety act.
Come with us. Come.
No.
What are you doing? I have a daughter.
My daugh.. I have a daughter.
At least wait for the advocate to come.
Mummy!
