He's been detained

at the Faraz cinema camp.

Please get him out.

Uncle...

I have no authority...

to free your boy.

I can't get him out...

but I can possibly save his life.

We have to shift him from

a camp to a prison.

We need to get him charged...

with a crime.

- Sir.

- It'll be a false charge.

A false charge.

That would get him

a court hearing.

Meaning...

no chances of dissapearance...

- Okay?

C-H-U-T-Z-P-A-H..

Chutzpah...

It is what it is.

Chutzpah?

What is it?

Once a boy was arrested

for the murder of his parents.

In the courtroom he sought...

a lenient sentence from the judge.

Bewildered, the judge asked...

How do you expect mercy...

after killing your own parents?

The boy replied...

Because I am an orphan now.

That my friends is chutzpah.

A Hebrew word.

- It does rhyme a bit with AFSPA...

- And similar in meaning too.

AFSPA...

Chutzpah...

Chutzpah...

- AFSPA...

- What will you do now?

The same.

Chutzpah!

I'll look for my father.

Where? In camps?

In prisons?

All of Kashmir is a prison.

I will look for him everywhere.

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

In whose eyes the sun sets

The sun sets in whose eyes

The waters of the river Jhelum

Have turned saline

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

Jhelum, Jhelum, searching a shore

Who to ask for how much longer

This pain we must continue to bear

Holding the hand of the blinded night

We must walk yet how much longer

Blood, blood, blood,

blood has become the colour of time

Blood, blood, blood,

blood has become the colour of time

Blood, blood, blood

Blood is a moulten ember

Blood is a moulten ember

- God! Oh God!

- I'm still alive...

- Thank you, Oh Lord! I am still alive!

- Gentlemen

- Delhi has approved Operation Nightingale.

We have complete support to

arm, fund and run...

the counter insurgency force...

- Complete support!

The enemy's foes are our friends...

Any individual or group...

anyone with a grudge against...

the Hizbul Mujahideen and

Pakistan's proxy war...

surrendered militants,

detainees, undenrials...

- will be our primary recruits.

Ikhwan-ul-Mukhbireen

The Army will run the operation

but your support will be crucial...

in recruitment and intelligence.

Let the Nightingale start singing.

It' s catch and kill.

- We need to nourish the Ikhwan

Ikhwan-ul-Mukhbireen ..

With arms, money, power...

Isn't that Kaul's house?

- Yes, he's in Jammu,

in a refugee camp.

I think he's moved to Bombay...

How many cases do you have?

About 75-80.

But why would they take up arms

against their own?
