Maurh: Chapter 1 Kishna and Dogar
The real fight began when,
the very livelihood of the farmers was attacked.
A chapter of the struggle for loot
and land was written in the land of Ghaggar 138 years ago.
At the same time, people were trapped in the chains of double slavery.
On one side, there was the slavery of the British,
and on the other side,
there was the enslavement of Kings and landlords.
Farmers were exploited by landowners and Kings,
and their living conditions were worse than that of slaves.
Come.
Who is inside?
Nobody. Only my son and I are here.
Sure? - Yes, sir.
Come this side.
Come here. - Come on.
Good.
Now get back here.
Now go and see if someone is in there.
Next time, don't lie.
Bishini! - Yes.
I will pluck some mustard leaves.
Kishna likes its curry a lot.
Mom, why? Do you want to start a fight?
And we don't know if Kishna will come or not.
It's our field.
I will only take a fistful.
Aunt, you will get all of us in trouble if anyone sees us.
The landlord's men are always around.
Wait. I will only take a minute.
Please! What are you doing?
I told you, didn't I? Men of the house are not at home.
Be thankful that those men are out of home.
Or else I would have broken their legs first.
Let this be a warning to you all.
If you want to eat this mustard greens so much,
then grow it at your own land.
This mustard greens are also earning of our hard work, Sardar.
Ownership is bigger than hard work, Santi.
And we own it.
What else do you have other than the power of money?
You only have a few breaths,
and someone will take that.
Santi, I am waiting since long
that this land gives birth to such a brave man
whose bravery makes my castle look pale.
If Maurha's mothers had that strength,
then they would have given birth to at least one man.
Then think that it's going to happen soon.
Maurha's womb is not barren, Sardar.
Hey! I don't know about your manly son,
but your daughter has some power in her.
Let's go!
Don't you think it's Chatra, Jeona?
Why is he coming in such a hurry?
Uncle, where is Kishna uncle?
He said that he was going nearby,
but I don't know where he might be.
The landlord's men came to the house.
They scattered mustard greens all around the house.
Mother is crying.
How are you? Can I get some water?
You will get the water along with the food.
Come inside and sit on the mats.
We aren't a part of a marriage entourage to sit on the mats.
It will only take some time.
Then, move under that tree at the other side.
This is also a tree.
No worries! We will sit here.
This is a cenotaph and
people bow their head here.
This
is a cenotaph. I heard.
It's not really that strong.
I think
there is some power here.
Some Godly power.
Hmm. - Let's check it.
There is some divine power. My feet can't touch it.
It has touched.
There is nothing.
You are lying, sir.
It's not about the power, Malla.
It's about trust and respect.
Who are you, mister?
Some respectful person! As if!
Do you just bark
or you hear too?
Even the temples have got goons now.
We are goons for people
who can't understand the words of priests.
Kishna!
Then move the priest aside,
and let's fight, one to one.
Hey, lion!
Do you know my name?
Yes! Jaimal Singh!
If you create any more ruckus,
I will make you taste the trouble.
Mother!
My mother used to say,
this poverty
is a disease.
It spreads slowly
and eats you from inside.
And nothing remains in a person.
Mother,
don't tell this to brother.
I will tell brother.
Listen to me.
Either the landlord will kill him or put him in the jail.
They will put you, me and all of us behind the bars.
That's all the power we have.
When there is a young sister at home,
brother can't become a goon.
Brother, someone has put an evil eye on our house.
After sister-in-law died,
neither brother Kishna came home,
nor we have talked nicely with each other.
And you!
You have thrown your respect.
One goon is enough in this house.
It won't be able to bear the weight of another.
Why are you fighting with boys?
Who else should I fight, Jaimal?
Since last four years, the family haven't got enough grains to eat.
Landlord's people say whatever they want.
Then why don't you answer?
Lands and reputation don't survive without fight.
Listen...
If you need a place to fight, let me know.
I will give you both, the gun and a horse.
If you want, you can come with me now.
No worries!
I will come someday. Goodbye!
No worries, boy!
If you are courageous, you will definitely return.
Is there any movement around here, accountant?
Who wants to die by stirring up trouble?
See, even the poor Kishna is trying to be the leader.
He finds even the dried snacks as pure butter.
I want to hit him on his thigh.
Let's see!
Hey, who amongst you took mustard greens to our house?
Listen, if we want to give mustard greens,
we won't give it to a poor family like yours.
If you go again, I will break your legs.
Then tell your family,
if they dare to pluck even a single leaf of mustard greens,
we will kidnap them from fields itself.
How dare you!
No! Kishna, no!
No, Kishna!
Hey! - No!
No, Kishna.
Stop! - Leave me!
Please stop. - Leave me!
No, Kishna!
Hey! Stop!
Stop it! - No!
I won't spare them. - No, please...
Brother, you are here.
How are you, Guddu? - I am good.
Did they say something to you?
No! No! They didn't say anything to me.
Sit. I will get water for you.
My son is here.
Greetings, mom! - May God bless you, my son.
Kishna, I was thinking
it's been long since you went to your aunt's house.
If you say, shall I pack your clothes?
Why are you digressing, mother?
Tell me, what had happened?
Why are you covered in dirt, brother?
Did you serve in the temple?
You noticed this dirt,
but you didn't see the one that they threw upon us.
I was talking about that. We will sit with people and talk about it.
You can only have discussions with decent people.
Insults are returned with the power.
You keep on doing what you do.
You can't do anything else.
I will let those people from the castle know.
I beat two of them outside. Let them try to come back here.
Why are you inviting trouble?
Can a stone ever tear a cloud?
He is a relative of Jind's King.
He will destroy our house with tanks.
But brother, why should we mess with them?
Sweet tongues can always help us.
I see everything, Jeona.
But I can't eat a fly when I see it in my food.
Listen, Kishna.
You are my brother.
But brother, I don't want to fight with anyone.
My job is farming and my religion is family.
I will grow crops and eat it with my family.
My name is Jeona Singh.
And I have taken this oath to live.
No matter how many insults you throw at me,
but I don't want to die.
Every person wants to live here, Jeona,
but this cycle doesn't let people like us live.
Make it spicy, uncle.
It will give a good tangy taste.
Why don't I put some poison in this pan?
You keep on barking like dogs.
I will hit you with this on your forehead.
Go now.
My heart is beating really fast.
What should I do? Shall I go or leave it?
Why didn't you ask me this advise in the village?
We wouldn't have had to walk so much.
Are you scared of something?
Is there something lacking in you?
I agree that your colour is a bit dark,
but nothing else.
You are not much short.
And which house is not poor?
Is there anything else lacking other than all these things? Tell me.
I don't think I have any flaw.
But the way you are talking, you will not let anything work.
Okay, fine. Be confident!
You have no confidence.
Be strong and go. Be strong.
Wait! Let some patient come.
Then only we would have a chance.
Last time, he spent half of the afternoon while checking my pulse.
He made me agree to diseases that I don't even have.
He made me eat two potions for constipation.
I had to face such a hard time while going back home.
Someone is there. Shall I go now?
How are you?
Jeona. Do one thing.
Look a bit ill.
Yes. I will tie a bandage.
Mom generally puts the bandage, right?
Kikar Singh, what happened to your date?
What can I say? We keeps getting dates.
Who has to go for the hearing date?
It's the talk of the town.
He is a judge of the court.
Oh!
How are you, sir? How is your health?
How can we old people be healthy?
But you come here many times.
Take care of your health.
I got hit by a spade. I came here for bandage.
Do you want to tell this to the whole market?
Go inside and get the bandage tied.
I was hit by a spade. I wanted to get some ointment.
If it's again a lie this time,
I will really make you bleed with a punch.
If the doctors start scaring, the world will come to an end.
Doctors are for patients,
not for liars and flirts.
The problem is that
the disease that I have can't be explained.
I already told you
that your disease can't be treated here.
Have some patience and you will be healed.
If it had to heal on its own, it would have happened by now.
Parsini, is the bandage not tied yet?
It's done, sir.
Do you feel hunger?
Yes, a lot. I eat twice or thrice a day.
What about sleep?
I can sleep well. I can even sleep in the afternoon.
Then go and enjoy. You are alright.
If you get that disease one day,
you won't be able to give all these answers that day.
One bandage will heal it.
You don't need to come again.
I will pay you later. - Hey!
At least take the medicine.
Now, even the paupers
have started playing with the honours of the castle.
How scared your boss is, inspector?
We didn't even look at the castle yet.
But he has sent the police force to us.
If we commoners start doing what we want,
we will throw police stations along with
the castles in the river of Sunam.
Before that,
we will show you the police station of Sunam.
Give him a nice beating.
Brother.
Listen, Kishna!
Hood of a snake and eyes of a courageous person
can never stay hidden from Jaimal, boy!
Courage is useless without respect, Jaimal Singh.
Bravo!
There are many courageous people in the world,
but these lands only need crazy men.
I have no issue with you. Open the door.
Looks like you are from the other village
that you don't know the fear of this castle.
The age of fear from the castles have gone, lady.
You haven't seen the fear of castle yet.
We haven't got these castles in charity.
Our elders have made them with their power,
and heads of people like you were buried in its foundation.
You are also no less than Vazeer Khan, oppressors!
These walls of your crimes
will be demolished, sooner or later.
These walls won't demolish.
Our regime and our dominance will always be there.
Your regime is because of our hard work, lady.
The bangles that you are wearing,
are of our hard work.
Before I cut your hands and take them,
give them to him.
Take them.
Come on.
I am taking your bangles in place of mustard greens.
Tell your man that
Kishna from Mujare had come,
and he took your bangles.
If he is really brave,
he should take back the bangles from Kishna Maurh.
Looks like you have looted a big family.
What's there to be proud of, Jaimal?
You should never get addicted to booties.
We are rebels, not bandits.
For us, bandits and rebels are same.
Bachchi, you are here. - Yes, uncle.
Did you get the meal? - Yes.
Have your meal, uncle.
Jeona.
Catch them! - Come! - Tell me, what's the matter?
Sir! Sir, leave Jeona. - What have I done?
Where you taking me?
Leave him! He has done anything.
Dad... - Don't do this.
Jeona! He has done nothing wrong.
Jeona!
Come on! Get up.
Come on! Run!
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Even if I would have known, I wouldn't have told.
He is my own brother. I won't tell on him.
How will you know the pain of your own brother?
Tell me.
In the following two years, Kishna, along with Jaimal,
mobilized the landlords and landowners
and kept the rebellion alive in the region.
The duo caused unrest in the area,
but the police continued to target Jeona and his family.
What? - I am here for the bandage.
Go inside and get it done.
All the town is gathered.
You are here again.
Don't you get it?
We don't have the treatment for your disease.
I think that the treatment for my disease is here this time.
I was really beaten.
Show me the beating!
You are really hurt.
You have wounds on your face too.
How did you get hurt?
I have been punished for being poor.
Didn't the God give you sense to see profit and loss?
What happened? Why are you not talking now?
Are your answers over?
Do you still get hungry and sleepy, or have you lost those too?
I haven't lost my hunger and sleep. I can't lie to you about that.
But when I eat,
you sit in front of me with a fan in hand.
You are also the one who make me sleep at night.
And I see you in the morning again.
At times, I feel like you console me when I am crying,
and laugh when I am laughing.
Sometimes, you also say yes to everything I say.
Sometimes, you spend the whole day silently.
I don't know what it is called in
medical term,
but I have guessed that it's a disease of heart.
If you want to finish a matter at the right place,
you should start it at the right place.
I agree that I started it,
but it will end when you end it.
And it's Jeona Singh's promise,
that if it doesn't end with you,
it won't end with anyone.
Jeona!
Take this medicine.
The wounds will heal quickly.
And,
the boss visits the big temple every Monday.
He is generally very happy on that day.
He never refuse anyone.
I don't need it.
"My soul starts trembling, heartbeat increases."
"My beloved, when your eyes mesmerise me, my soul loses control."
"My soul starts trembling!"
Aunt, get me some sweets.
Really?
Yes. Doctor has told to find an auspicious day and fix the match.
God bless us.
"Memories hold me captive, but I don't mind."
"I have entrusted my heart to you, my precious treasure."
"My eyes see nothing else when they look at you."
"My beloved, when your eyes mesmerise me, my soul loses control."
"My soul starts trembling!"
Come and serve refreshments. - Yes.
He brought a marriage proposal for your daughter.
He is from a nice family.
They have found a good suitor for you.
Your in-law's house is a bit far.
No problem. We will send you.
You will send me, brother.
But both of my brothers should give shoulders to my palanquin.
Where am I going? I am here.
And don't worry! Brother will also come.
If he doesn't come, I won't go.
He will come, daughter. He will surely come.
Who is there?
This is me, Chatra.
Bless me.
Don't jump walls like that. You might get beaten some day.
Did he also come?
No. Uncle Kishna has send this jewellery for marriage.
People will say that we filled the house with looted things.
Son, we have never even coveted other's belongings,
and you are saying that I marry my daughter with stolen jewellery.
Go! Give it to some needy.
And listen!
Malla, take care of yourself.
Okay, grandfather.
I will put bed for you. Chatra!
Go and meet him.
Listen!
Uncle Kishna sent jewellery, but grandpa refused it.
How is Kishna?
He is alright.
Your father was asking about you.
What should I say? That you have also left?
Tell him that everyone can accompany their own family,
but his son has gone to fulfil his pledge.
If you fight for justice
you won't get prize, but bullet.
What's the matter? Are you missing your family a lot?
Father has returned the jewellery.
I feel, I don't need these things any more.
You can either tie it to the horse or distribute it amongst the poor.
Why distribute? We will share it.
Come! I will introduce you to an important man today. Come!
How are you, uncle? - Fine.
Take it, brother.
Come, Jaimal!
So early in the morning?
Is everything alright?
Yes, old man.
I just felt like seeing you.
Have a seat.
You can't be here just to see me after traveling thirty miles.
I wanted him to meet you.
He is Maurh, Kishna Maurh.
You might have heard about him.
Yes.
He snatched that old lady's bangles with gun in his hand.
A person becomes famous by that.
Okay, sir. I have put it aside.
Kishna's hands are empty.
You can have your satisfaction.
No worries, Maurh.
We will give you the chances to be satisfied in the future.
Oh! I almost forgot about it.
We have looted a lot this time.
Take care of our wealth.
And you know, brother,
snake of the wild and a person in the forest
are always this rugged.
I know about you, Jaimal.
Who made him take this way?
Only two things make a person do this.
It can either be a wound to the honour, or love for the money.
I have never had love for money,
and never bowed to someone's ego.
Bravo, boy!
Let me ask you something, Singh.
Ask me! - Why do you have this love for rebels?
Because I know that
no is more crazy than a person who has left for the forest.
Very well said!
It's known about him in fifty villages that
enmity with Dogar is worst than poison,
and his friendship is very precious.
"When the snake wraps around someone,"
"it devours it whole."
"When the snake wraps around someone..."
The news is that
our daughter Bibi Bishni's relation
is fixed with your son Mela Singh.
On 10-31.
How are you? - All good.
Come on. Come quickly.
Bhola Singh!
You have got so many goons here. What if they fight with each other?
We will handle them.
Jaimal, such meetings are for compromises and friendships.
Brother! Come here!
How are you? You look very happy.
I am happy now, but can't say anything about the future.
Who is this man?
He is my new friend.
A person who is greedy for money and property,
can he be his old friend?
I don't think so.
There must be some intelligent person in the area.
There are many.
Why? - Didn't no one ever teach you
that you should not bark like a dog in a meeting?
Leave it! This is an occasion of happiness.
You should not talk like this.
Is this a new gun?
Yes.
I have bought this gun recently.
It can hit up to half mile.
You should have used it for hunting.
What if it betrays you when you need it?
It's not a traitor
that will betray me at the time I need it.
Hey! - Leave him!
No, man! No!
This game is between two people now.
Both of us are out of it.
I can not only press the trigger of the gun,
I can also strangle a neck.
Did you hear it?
Either you will be freed from this trap,
or your neck will break.
Let him go, Kishna.
Come on, drop it.
Maurh, I know Jaimal since long.
He is my very good friend.
Both of us have never shared our turban.
But I don't know why,
first time in my life,
I wanted to share my turban (symbol of honour) today.
Bhai Singh, you only want to share your turban with someone,
with whom your thoughts match.
Okay, Maurh.
From today, my turban is shared with you,
along with my thoughts.
Hmm.
"Folk song"
Chop the woods.
"Folk song"
Mother.
Brother...
"Folk song"
Kishna...
Brother.
What happened?
I knew that you would come.
Did you have any doubt? - No.
Greetings, mom!
My son!
I bow to you, mom!
May God give you long life!
Brother, both of our fates are same.
Both of us have to go from this house.
Why are you saying such things?
It's not like your in law's house is in Bikaner,
we will come and meet you. - Yes.
Wait, you big bandit!
You can't face the police.
How are you? - I won't come in eye of the police.
Son, how do you arrange your food?
In forests, a person doesn't even feel hungry.
Don't worry! Everything is alright.
How can I not worry?
My fate is bad
that I lost my son for some mustard leaves.
If the God really exists somewhere, and allows to reverse the things,
I will move from the side of that field.
Mom, if the God reversed the time on a mother's request,
then it would have been good times.
Let's not stand here.
Nikki's wedding party will arrive in the morning.
Let's go inside and talk.
Let's go inside.
Chatra, put ice in the open.
Let's go!
Come, my son. - Take it.
Come, mother.
Oh, Kishna... - Greetings!
May God bless you!
Come and sit here.
Say your greetings!
May God bless you!
Please come back.
I don't like anything without you.
The whole house looks barren.
Come back. Together we will do farming.
You are right, Jeona.
There is nothing better than one's family and village.
But if a person stops fighting,
then a species is finished.
When a person runs away, he becomes a monk,
but if doesn't become a monk,
he definitely becomes a bandit.
What should I become?
A monk or a bandit?
Just don't run from here.
Stay as a person.
I will take care of everything else.
Uncle, send some mats from there. - Okay.
Give it to me.
Put some woods here. Dad, use a strong hand.
Do it fast.
Okay, sir. Don't worry.
"Folk song"
My daughter, may God save you from evil eyes.
Boy, are all the arrangements done for the marriage entourage? - Yes.
You have arrived. - Yes, is Bishni ready?
Yes. - Is she looking beautiful?
She is looking really beautiful. Some and meet her once.
"Folk song"
Father. - He is coming.
Everything is finished.
What happened? - Everything is finished.
Matchmaker. What happened?
Tell us.
Everything is finished.
Your entourage is going to Khadke Nang's house.
That is your crime.
You are stopping the entourage of your village's daughter.
This crime won't wash away even for seven lives.
Hey!
Run from here. If you turn back, you will be shot dead.
I was scared of this.
It's not just a loss of a person,
Maurha's reputation has been thrashed in dirt.
I will bring back your turban
and our reputation.
Son, my son is the only brother
among five sisters.
If the landlord does something,
we will have nothing to look forward.
It's a request from this big brother, aunt.
Bring back the entourage after 15 days to our village.
Just bring 5-7 people.
Leave about that Vasudev.
Think that the ox will be controlled.
He will not even look in the direction of your air.
This is the promise of Kishna Maurh.
Come on...
Hey, you! He is shot.
Go and check there, boys.
Come this way.
Sardar. Come on!
Don't let him escape. - I will see to him.
Come in the front if you have the guts.
Hey, come out in the open.
Hey! Today I won't spare you.
Hey, I will teach you a lesson.
Hey, don't get shot.
Hey, sit down!
Come in the front.
Who is it? - Look back.
Hey, brother. - Pinda.
Get him!
Come on. Hurry!
Hey, Kishna! Kishna Singh, forgive me!
Forgive me!
Look, landlord!
Khadak Singh's Kishna's foot in upon you.
You used to call him Khadka Nang (pauper).
Now, your seven generations
will neither forget Khadak Singh's name,
nor forget Kishna Maurh's name.
No, brother. No!
Kishna!
Do you know who you have killed?
Man, we have killed King of Jind's cousin.
Now even the land will end for our hiding.
He killed eight people
including my cousin.
This is personal, Mr Hurton.
Just finish him.
Well that is my job, your highness!
Not just the police, whole army is behind you.
The king has called Hurton.
he has also put a prize of a pair of bangles and 500 rupees on Kishna.
Who is Mr Hurton?
Think that he is a devil.
Wherever he goes, he eats people alive.
What should we do, Bhai Singh?
I am worried about you.
No matter what happens, don't trust anyone.
If you need anything, tell me.
I will take care of everything else.
Okay, brother.
Hey, sit!
Come, Mr Hurton!
I don't know if I should be jealous or sad with my fate.
The government has come itself to my door.
If I had known about it earlier,
I would have arranged for your welcome.
Please accept my service for whatever I can provide.
Tell him to stop barking.
Sir likes faithful and barking dogs a lot.
Whatever jewellery he has given to you,
all of that is yours,
along with 500 rupees and gold bangles.
We only need Maurh.
Crying dogs,
and a friend scared from police
are a sign of danger.
If you don't want our dead bodies to be found in sand dunes,
then you know what to do.
Jaimal will betray me.
Don't worry, Bhai Singh.
I won't let forest's fire reach your castle.
Baji used to ask, when a person's death arrives,
which body part sense it first?
I say brain and he says heart.
Baji, let's ask Jaimal too.
Tell us Jaimal.
No. Neither the heart, nor the brain.
His stomach senses it first.
Listen to this now.
There were three donkeys in a village.
We are also three.
First hear the full story.
Three of them were tired of carrying the weight.
They decided to kill the owner. - Really!
They made a decision and went to the owner.
The owner said that you can kill me without any doubt.
But the who is your leader, should kill me.
Donkeys started thinking.
They thought who could be there leader.
The owner said
that your owner will be the one who is biggest ass among you.
That day went and today's day came.
Those donkey could never found who their leader was.
All of them were equal donkeys.
Jaimal Singh, I don't know
who would be the leader.
But I know that who will not be.
Really?
Who is that? - He can't become a leader
who has put his rifle in reverse.
You fool!
Jaimal Singh, let's take you in the shadow.
How did you doubt me, Kishna?
When there is no respect in eyes, uncle,
then eyes look empty.
Then a person looks exactly like you, uncle.
Chatra, go to Chanakre.
My acquaintance Atra is there.
Tell him to bring 2-4 people tomorrow near the river.
Go and I will take care of him.
Okay, uncle.
How are you Maurh?
Jaimal Singh!
he won't come now.
When is Bishni's marriage?
He used to say that
we would go together is sister's marriage.
Brother, I feel that you are my blood brother.
That's a deep wound.
Sit! I will be back.
Okay Jeona. I will take my leave.
You could stay here for the night.
No worries. I will come in early morning.
Keep this, aunt.
Daughter, you should also eat.
No, mother. Kishna must be on his way.
I will eat with him.
I don't know when I will meet him again.
Okay. We will eat together.
Don't kill him.
We would send him to Black water.
He must know
how it feels to spend the whole life in hell.
His punishment should become an example.
People who rebel against our throne, this punishment
is not hanging, but fear.
"Folk song"
Jeona, there is a bad news.
At least bring a good news for once.
Listen to me first.
Sunam, Longual, Lada, all of the merchants from these areas
have come together and filed a case with a white judge.
If they win the case,
all properties of these debtors will be seized.
Is our merchant also with them?
What do you think? Why will he stay behind?
Go for now.
What to do now?
Brother!
Brother, when the entourage arrives tonight,
brother might come.
Daughter!
You should go happily to your in law's house.
Be happy in your in law's house.
Come, dear.
Come on!
Don't move.
Maurh: Chapter 2 Jeona and Dogar
Aunt. - Take it inside.
It's a sandstorm. Put the utensils inside.
Yes, it's a heavy sandstorm, dear.
God have mercy.
Come on.
Where is Jeona's house?
There are a few Jeona here.
Whose house do you want to visit?
Kishna Maurh's brother.
Take left from there.
Come.
Who is he?
Are you Jeona?
I am Famal Singh Panghu from Faleda.
The exiled one!
Brother. Try to remember.
What did brother tell you the last time?
When I met Kishna the last time,
he said that
when a person leaves for forest,
his death is decided that day.
But if someone of own betrays us,
then his crime is bigger than death.
He asked me to tell you
that there was only one person who sent him to that hell,
Ahmed Dogar.
Until Jeona kills that Dogar, till then
his soul won't be at peace.
Is he all right?
He is no more, madam.
"You left us grieving."
"They eyes keep waiting. O my beloved!"
"The parents are left wailing, O brother."
"May such a sorrow never inflict anyone else."
"These inflictions make life unbearable."
"We will seek vengeance."
"This isn't the time for mourning."
"But to make the foes cringe."
Will you do me a favour?
Hmm.
Send him here after the fair.
What do you want to do, Jeona Singh?
I wanted to do farming, priest.
But when a man drops the sickle,
the hand goes forward to hold the rifle.
Enmity is like a river and a dam,
when it breaks,
there is only destruction.
The dam has been broken, priest.
But I want to see what will remain.
I have to talk to you about something.
I already got it when I saw Kishna's turban.
Hey, life giver,
make your heart strong now.
Not just one, both of our sons will go to forest.
Until the tyrants are not removed from the throne,
these paths to forest will never be empty, dad.
Listen! Listen!
Listen, everyone!
There is a decree from
the Lord's court from Sangrur!
All the people from village Maurh,
who borrowed money from Banwari Lal,
and haven't returned yet,
all of their properties will be confiscated.
Among them,
all of the livestock,
jewellery and house,
all of it will be seized.
People who have got the orders for this confiscation are
Mangla, son of Chotu,
Fatta, son of Magar Ali,
Labu, son of Rama. - When Kishna was here
nobody dared it. Now there is a decree. - Jeona, son of Khadka.
They shouldn't be spared.
Where can I find the judge who gave this order?
I can understand uncle Jeona's reason.
Why are you here, Jhaja Singh?
He is also here to accompany his friend.
I saw uncle Kishna sitting here for the first time in the forest.
Then consider that Kishna is back.
Uncle Kishna used to say that
crazy men are the treasure of the forests.
There is nothing called as craziness.
When a helpless man's patience is shattered,
people call it craziness.
Uncle!
We have given our lives to the forest.
Why are you wasting your life?
If you also come to the forest, what will happen to our parents?
I will take avenge uncle Kishna's death.
Listen to me.
Please go back, uncle.
If this matter would have been this easy,
I would have never put my foot here.
Now, when I have put my foot here,
these forests will decide my fate.
If these forests could decide our fates, uncle,
then we are Romeo of these forests.
We won't let any Dogar come here.
But Dogar won't come to the forest.
We will go to Dogar.
We need to make preparations to catch Dogar,
only one person can help us in that.
Attar from Inakra.
How many do you have?
We have...
Ten
If we have to fight the police and Dogar,
we will need these rifles.
We might have to steal more.
We will have to make arrangements.
If you want, you can even kill the king,
but a revenge must be something
where the enemy knows who he messed up with.
Before killing Dogar, he must have so much fear of you that
he wets his pants every second.
He must know the punishment of betrayal?
I don't want to kill just one Dogar.
For me, every man is Dogar
who does atrocities on the innocent people.
What is this? - Ointment.
Hey!
Stop the carriage.
Give it to me. Sit down.
Come on!
Who are you?
Then bandits came in the village?
Did you see them?
They have military rifles.
Jeona? What is he doing here?
Greetings.
Greetings, dad.
My people,
the judge who ordered for your destruction,
has been killed by us.
Huh? - He killed the judge.
From today, we will pay your taxes.
No matter what we do,
we will not let the burden fall upon you.
And from now on, no merchant,
no landlord,
king or emperor,
and no policeman will bother you.
We will risk our lives but not let anyone mistreat you.
We are your own. Cooperate with us.
We won't let anyone slander Maurha's name.
Hail to Goddess Naina!
Open the door, merchant.
Open the door.
Merchant, step out. Let's settle your accounts today.
No, Jeona Singh. You don't have to pay any debt to me.
My father or grandfather must have taken a loan. Bring it out.
Jeona Singh, your elders had repaid the loan long time back.
Are you going to step out or should I burn you with your shop?
No, Jeona Singh. I will come out.
Yes, Jeona Singh.
Bring all the books.
The whole village's accounts will be settled today.
Jeona Singh, forgive me.
Very good. - My life's saving is burnt.
Anyone who helps in capturing Jeona, will get 1000 rupees cash,
and a pair of golden bangles as reward.
Come out. - And any person who will help him,
as per the orders of the Lord,
he will be punished severely.
This house is abandoned.
They moved to Patiala.
Perfect.
"Who will you change the fate of generations?"
"He chops off enemies head
the way a farmer cuts the crop."
Today we all take a vow
to help the poor.
We will respect every woman.
With my Gurus, teachers
and gods and Goddess as my witness, I announce
hereafter if any king or emperor
a merchant or landlord
tries to exploit the poor
then I won't spare them.
"The dust settles outside the village."
"Hearing the gunshot sound, birds on peepal tree fly away."
Uncle, let's watch it.
"Vines are embroidered on waistcoat."
"Mother have given birth to fearless sons
that's why prisons are waiting for them."
"For what you have gold plated tooth?"
"All the talks are about your act
you have done in broad daylight."
Distribute all the loot amongst the poor.
Okay, uncle.
"They are talking, looking at destruction."
"The sons of Jatts have left plowers
upon witnessing the Jatti's charm."
Please forgive me. I don't know anything.
I am telling the truth.
If you don't speak up
then we will surely kill you
but we will burn your house and kill your children.
"The foes are strong for namesake."
"They are vanquished
by the brave sons of great mothers."
Choudhary, even the king listen to you.
Please do me a favour and talk to the landlord of Kishangarh.
I don't get along with the landlord of Kishangarh.
But if I meet him at the fair this year,
I will definitely talk to him.
The issue is that, the land...
Dogar!
Kishna's brother jeoyniya Moud is standing on your door.
Do you remember Kishan or not?
My brother considered you a friend with whom he shared his turban.
But you sold his turban to enemies.
Moud don't like two things.
First, a betrayel and second, attack on their turban.
And you have done both of them.
I want to burn you right here.
But you don't deserve such an easy death.
Listen carefully and tell it to all of your friends.
On the next full moon,
I will send you to the hell.
You can use the power that you have,
call any king or any brave person you want to,
call all the police and army that you can collect,
but your death is inevitable.
Now, you will die every moment.
And only two names will ring in your ears,
one of my brother Kishan and other of Jeyona Moud.
When the death arrives for jackals of Moud,
they run towards the sand dunes, Jeyona.
I think your entire family is destined to die at my hands.
You can come whenever and wherever you want,
you will find Dogar at every corner in front of you.
Be ready on the full moon.
When the dogs of forests move towards castle,
a single fence can't help, Lord.
That dog of forest has pissed on my house.
Now you have to decide,
if you want to put the leash around his neck,
or I will have to do something.
On your behest, I helped you in capturing Kishna,
and took enmity with Jeyona.
Now it's your turn to help.
It's not only about Dogar.
Moud has cahllanged our rule.
Dogar's death
is our defeat.
You couldn't catch a petty thief.
I don't need you.
I detest worthless men.
He is shooting. Run, run!
Run, run!
- My son.
Run!
Sir.
Uncle!
Meetu! How are you?
Uncle, Moud has sent a message.
He will come here to meet you tonight.
You know Jeetu, right? Come to his house.
Tell Moud that
it's his own village. He can come whenever he wants.
Uncle, he is only Jeyona for you.
He is Moud for the people.
No.
Our Jeyona left us long back.
Now he is Moud.
He is the pride and prestige of this village.
He has gone to fulfill his duty towards the people.
What happened to the villagers?
They are sitting in pitch darkness.
They are angry because Lord killed a person.
Jeyona.
Come here.
Jeyona. - Jeyona.
Greetings, mom! - May God bless you.
Are you all right?
When children are in a bad shape,
who can be more stronger than a mother?
Greetings.
May God bless you.
Dad, tell me. How are our fields?
It's good. I have sown millet.
That's fine. But there is just one fear.
No one is a bigger donor than a mother and the earth.
We will get good millet crop.
I got to know about
the things going in the village.
Don't say anything about it.
It's hard to step out of the house.
Now you will say that
we started complaining about our sorrows on your arrival.
You are the saviour of the poor.
These policemen are troubling us a lot.
Uncle, they have an army.
Even if a merchant think about it in the morning,
he forgets it by evening.
It will take time to solve this.
Son, bear in mind,
the longer you will take,
the more lives will be lost in the village.
They only repeat one thing. Hand over Jeyona to us.
He wants Jeyona.
No worries! I will do something about it.
Listen to me, you Englishman!
Moud is in front of you.
You kill innocent people to find me.
I dare you to step out.
I am challenging you.
If you can defeat me today,
I will never touch a weapon in my life again.
But if I escape alive,
then if you say anything to any person of Moud,
I will make your grave in this house.
How dare you shoot on my people! I will teach you a lesson!
Here.
Come.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Be cautious.
Open.
Hey!
Take it, son. Hold it.
Maurh humiliated the British.
Yes.
Sir.
Why the hell is nobody stepping up against him?
There has to be somebody.
At least one little scoundrel.
Son, our villager came. Did you meet him?
How many time should I meet.
Mother, I have put bed for you.
Are you home, guys?
Brother! Brother...
Greetings, dear!
Greetings! - Brother...
Brother, if I had known about your arrival,
I had made something for you to eat.
Your tears have filled my stomach.
They need to eat meal.
Greetings. Please have a sit.
Yes.
Bless me, aunt. - May God bless you.
Greetings! - Greetings!
Please sit.
Welcome.
How are you, Mela Singh?
Yes, all good.
Please sit.
Brother, have some water.
Okay, Jeyona! Let's depart.
We have to reach Sangrur before dawn.
Brother, we didn't even talk yet.
Please stay here for tonight.
Bishni, you know that police is behind us.
No worries, brother. Police won't come anywhere.
Just for tonight, brother.
I don't know when you will come again.
Tell me, what to do?
It's not good for all of us to stay here.
We will meet you at the outskirts of the village in the morning.
Okay.
Come, king.
This way.
Mouda, the king is here.
That's good.
When a lion is captured, you should have a closer look.
Talk with manners.
He might make death easier for you.
We have reached this point of death because of manners.
Now you are talking about saving life.
It's an insult to enmity to have patience in front of enemy.
If you had seen the last moment of your brother,
then you would have known about insult too.
He has taught us how to reply to an insult.
Don't be so arrogant, Mouda.
Arrogant people get severe punishment here.
You can't rein a horse of the forest,
and Jeyona is a human.
We have our stable for stubborn horses,
and stubborn men are in our jails.
He was supposed to kill that Dogar on full moon.
Yes, sir.
Hang him at the same day.
Yes.
Jeyona is rotting in a jail there
and we are sitting idle here.
No one is sitting idle here, uncle.
But we will do what uncle Atra will say.
Dolu.
Take Pachadi with you and go to Nabhe. - Okay.
Dolu, wear the clothes of a monk.
You stand in the back, while I will go up there.
Okay.
Signal to me if there is a problem.
Hey, you!
Come in the front.
You fool!
Why are you roaming like this, silly?
Do you play a drum at some courtesan's place,
or you wear a skirt yourself and dance.
Moud will make you wear the skirt, Dogar.
Just let brother come.
You are Dolu from Kalipur.
After challenging in front of a lion's den,
now you are hiding in the forest, you mice.
Huh!
Now Dogar himself has come to these forests.
And he will take each mouse out and kill it.
It's a full moon tomorrow.
Hey, stop!
Hey!
Come quickly.
Hurry up! Barricade it.
Come on, close the gate.
Come here.
Hurry up!
Come this way.
Come on!
I had told you
Moud is blessed with the goddess.
Hmm.
Nobody can stop him.
Saw? She got him out of the prison.
A lion was roaming in the Nabhe city for the past 2 days
Even our lieutenant saw it.
Even Paricha saw it. He even gave grains
Does lion eat grains?
He may eat dried grains.
The lion is wandering for 2 days in Nabhe.
It neither hunted an animal
nor a human. What was it about?
What was it, sir? - Goddess's lion.
Uncle, I heard
the lion took Moud on its back. - No.
No.
It's a lie.
He went on the horse.
The lion may be in the front
and the horse behind it.
Chaitra! - Hmm.
Brother. - He is here.
Hats off to you, Mouda!
Jeyona.
How are you, Chandna? You look dull. - Forget me.
What happened to your nose?
Did they beat you a lot?
That horse gave me this mark. - I see.
How are you, Atra?
God's grace is upon us. You tell me.
How are you, uncle?
How are you, Moud? - I am good, uncle.
Tell me, uncle, how did you come out from that tight security?
If there are people on this land who help in our arrest,
then there are many who help us escape, nephew.
Hail to Goddess!
My friends!
Today is the biggest day of my life.
And I don't want that
it becomes last of any of you.
If anyone wants to quit this battle,
you can leave.
I will hold no grudge against him.
I will always have respect for him.
We have destroyed all the paths to return, Mouda.
If we had to go back, we wouldn't have come, Mouda.
Anyone who will go with me today,
he must know one thing that
our fight is with death.
And only one thing can defeat death,
and that is life.
You all have to make a promise to me,
we swear by this forest,
today, we are not going to die, but kill.
Hail to Goddess Naina!
Thanks.
There is a bad news.
Maurh has escaped from the jail.
Everyone, be alert.
None of Jeona's men should return alive.
Fool.
Send me to Maurh.
I will beg him.
I heard that he has a big heart.
He doesn't refuse any sister's request.
Thank God that
God has made you a barren.
Your son can never make Dogar family proud.
Choudhary, those people are here.
Boys, let's go. Get ready.
Faster. Faster!
Come on, come on!
Hey, Jeeva.
Come on!
Dogar!
Kill him.
Hey! Get up!
Come on! Rana, he is there.
Rana.
Rana. You...
Shoot him.
Chandna, get the door. - Yes.
Get down, Makandi.
Maru. - Maru.
Maru. - Maru is dead.
Maru.
Chatra.
Makandi. - Let's go.
Push! - Come on!
I am Jeona Maurh! - Bend down.
I promise you all.
Today, no one will escape alive from here.
But our enmity is only with Dogar.
We have no enmity with you.
If anyone wants to save their lives,
you can drop your weapon and leave from here.
Or else you will be responsible for your own death.
Leave all that drama, Maurha.
History is a witness.
We will decide today, and right now.
Story of our enmity will be narrated
as long as this world exists.
If you want to die, die with respect.
And if you are here to kill, kill me from the front.
Don't worry, Dogar.
I will kill you from the front.
And if you talk about history,
it has already decided that
today, you will die and I will kill you.
Brother Deva.
Uncle! - Brother!
Dogar.
This is the chief of fifty villages, Ahmed Dogar.
How are you, chief?
Did we get someone else?
Brother Kishna used to say
that you are my one brother,
and another is Ahmed Dogar,
who can lay down his life to save mine.
Forget about saving his life,
you took his life.
Kishna used to think that
the world runs on promises and friendships.
But in reality, this world runs with money.
And money is not earned with heart,
but with brains.
I had to make a choice between Kishna and money.
And in front of money,
friendship has no value.
Mark my words,
this world will always be
ruled by rich and powerful people.
And this won't end
no matter how hard you try.
If it doesn't end by us,
our children will finish it.
And if it doesn't end by them, then their kids, and then their kids.
And until this earth will have Dogar on it,
till then, Kishna and Jeona will be born.
Uncle, I want to urinate on his head.
No, Chatra.
Kishna's turban used to be placed on his head in the past.
In name of brother Deva.
In name of Dolu.
In name of Chadde.
In name of Narayana.
In name of Bhadu.
In name of Sattu.
And this one is
for Kishna.
And we still have to settle our scores.
We will do it next time.
Uncle!
Chatra! Let's prepare.
We will go to the temple of Goddess.
Okay.
Give it to Chet Saba's house and,
all the other brothers who have died.
Inform their families that they died bravely.
Take care.
Okay, uncle.
We will meet again. - You should not show your back.
Something bad can happen.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Hail to Goddess Naina! - Hail to Goddess Naina!
Let's go!
The worst thing in the world is to
snitch on someone.
Be careful, Jeona.
Let's go, Chatra!
Bye, uncle.
Uncle, go and get Goddess's blessings. I will guard there.
Okay.
Jeona.
How do you know me?
The whole Punjab knows you.
The Goddess has her blessings upon you.
You still have to help people a lot, Jeona.
Often, danger will loom over your head,
just don't turn back.
Keep on moving forward.
Jeona!
The police has surrounded you from all the sides.
Now you can't escape alive.
Even the jail had tight security, inspector.
But it was useless.
If you want to pay obeisance, do it one more time.
Because you will never get this chance again.
Because Lord will take you from here.
We will kill you and hang your body in middle of your village.
Be careful! Don't burn your hands in the effort.
An angry Jatt is like a terror.
He doesn't leave you alone.
If you have any doubt, go and ask the others.
Listen up, gentlemen!
Change of plans! Let's take this one alive.
I want him wishing for death
for the rest of his miserable life.
Hey! No one will shoot.
Lord wants Jeona alive.
Get back.
Wait.
Hey! You go that way. Go.
Don't shoot.
Jeona, stop. You can't flee.
Stop!
Let this one go. Get me that sneaky little bastard.
Jeona, stop!
Jeona!
So, Maurha? Done with running?
Or do you want to run more?
When people like you get guns in your hands and a horse under you,
you start thinking that you rule the world.
But when you face the real rulers,
even the earth ends when you run.
So? The earth has ended, right?
Many times, danger will loom over your head.
But don't turn back.
He didn't even have a morsel.
He said that he would come and eat.
He kept on saying that.
I won't let him go. - Mother, please.
Keep moving ahead.
The earth never gives up on its children...
The monarchs will always have the illusion
that they can stop rebels like Jeona...
They are born from proud and brave mothers,
who will challenge the tyrants in every era,
and depart from this world
like a falcon soaring from the peak of a mountain,
disappearing from sight
raveling far, far away...
Various accounts exist in writings, books, and folklore regarding
the death of Jeona, each presenting different
interpretations and versions
Many believe that Jeona was captured from the temple of goddess Naina
and hanged in the Hisar jail in the year 1893.
While several other believe the year of execution was 1903.
Based on the documented accounts from Western Punjab,
Jeona was apprehended near Naina Devi and taken to the Satokhghar
police station close to Nangal. Determined not to be imprisoned,
Jeona made a solemn vow to meet his demise before surrendering.
In solidarity with Jeona, his companions launched
an assault on the police station using explosive devices.
Tragically, Jeona met his end when the station's roof
collapsed during the ensuing gunfire
As per some, despite the prohibition imposed by the goddess Naina,
Jeona looked back and got hit by a bullet from the police.
The first tale about Jeona was written back in 1894
Jeona still lives on in the hearts of people today.
"Enfolding a stole,
he is surpassing the Bhawani ghar blockade."
