Highway Page #2

Synopsis: A city girl - young, full of life - is on the highway at night with her fiancé. Suddenly, her life is swung away from the brocade and jewelry of marriage to the harsh brutality of abduction. Her life will never be the same again. The gang is in a panic; the girl is a big industrialist's daughter, his links in the corridors of power make ransom out of the question. But for the leader of this group sending her back is not an option. As the days pass by, the scenery changes, the girl feels that she has changed as well. Gradually, a strange bond begins to develop between the victim and the oppressor. It is in this captivity that she, for the first time, feels free.

Today is our day.

Hail Kishan Das!

- Hail him!

Yes!

Hail Lord Lakkad!

- Hail him!

Yes!

Hail our villages.

- Hail our land!

Hail the Lord!

Any new 'qawali'

out in the market?

Listen.

People don't like listening

to new 'qawali'.

A special recitation.

In honor

of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz.

Is it old?

- Very old.

Then it's fine.

Hello.

- Hello.

Pal, you've outdone yourself!

Your name will spread

far and wide.

Couldn't you talk on the phone?

I heard today.

Tried calling you.

Where will you hide us?

Things have changed.

You're famous now.

Wherever you go with the girl,

all Ajmer Sharif will know

and we'll all become famous.

So, you can't stay here.

Is it on the news?

Not yet.

Everyone knows because

of the damn police.

My God!

You have M.K. Tripathi's

daughter. Imagine!

It's me.

Are you unwell?

Your lips must be numb.

I'm on your side.

Make sure you never talk

to anyone about me.

They're dangerous people.

Who knows

what they'll do to you?

You couldn't even imagine it.

But I am here.

I'll take care of you.

I'll take care of you.

I really will.

You want to go home, don't you?

You want to go home, don't you?

Back to your parents?

To your family?

You want to return, right?

I'll take you back.

You're back.

Let's give her some water.

We'll feed her later.

There's Aadoo.

We're over there. Okay.

- Sit down.

Out. Hey, Aadoo

Hurry up!

Check the corners.

All clear?

- All clear.

Come on.

Sorry! Sorry, please!

Please!

Please..

Please!

I'm sorry! Please..

- What is it?

She wants to run.

- So?

Run!

Well?

Run.

Hey!

"Where are You?"

"Where am I?"

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"O Lord, show compassion to me."

"Countless sorrows surround me."

"I believe that You will restore

my world."

"Hear the one who has no one."

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"Where are You? Where am I?"

"How fearsome

is the path before me!"

"Why have You

turned away from me?"

"Where am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Darkness descends around me."

"No light to be seen."

"Body broken, soul defeated."

"The stars of good fortune

have faded."

"Show a ray of hope."

"There's nothingness

everywhere."

Get back!

She ran away of her own accord.

She'll return in the same way.

Move!

No tea for me?

I'm making cottage cheese curry.

Will you eat it?

We need SIM cards.

Take Tonk with you.

Send the stuff back with him.

We need other stuff too.

- Don't worry.

Excuse me!

Can you hear me?

What is it?

Can I come out

just for a little while?

Why?

Closed spaces

make my head spin.

I'm feeling ill.

Let her out.
