Tahaan Page #4

Synopsis: A tender fable about childhood innocence amid the realities of war is set against the rugged landscape of Kashmir, so long a flash point for the territorial claims of neighboring India and Pakistan. The title character, an eight year old mountain boy, often hears distant gunfire. But it is not until he goes on a quest to reclaim his beloved donkey, which has been confiscated as payment of his poor family's debts, that he is drawn toward a violence he has no capacity to understand.

Come on.. come on!

Tahaan?

Sir, where is Zoya now?

Oh my god! A small

Kashmiri boy! How sweet!

You watch, she and junior

sir will make a nice couple.

Look here, child; I'll click your photo.

- Smile, child.

Tahaan.

Tahaan, what are you doing here?

And if anybody wants to click

your photo will you just grin?

I.. I just came to tell

you that I am going.

And she came in between.

- So then go!

Yes.. yes; I'll return by evening.

But, Tahaan where are you going?

- Evening.. evening!

Tahaan? Tahaan?

Hey brother militant,

did you see Mr. Suhan Dar?

Did you see Mr. Suhan Dar?

Did you see Mr. Suhan Dar?

Did you see Mr. Suhan Dar?

Did you see Mr. Suhan Dar?

- He went this way.

Mr. Dar! Mr. Dar!

- Oh my god; he came back..

.. again like a useless coin.

- But I told my family.

You only told me to inform the family.

Come here.

Go back home or I'll beat you.

Please take me with you.

Birbal will work more if I'm there.

Oh! So you've named him as

Birbal? Akbar's minister!

What a person he was and what

kind of ministers we have now!

What?

Nothing.

What title you have for your mule?

Tahaan!

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello!

What's wrong with network?

Hello!

- Please listen.

If you didn't want to talk,

why you called my number?

Hello!

- Mr. Dar!

Yes. Who? It's not Zafar's phone.

Why would I give my phone

to Zafar. Why would l?

Who is Zafar?

My father.

Mr. Dar..

What?

C'mon, Birbal. Come.

C'mon, Birbal.

Hey!

Hey!

Uncle Suhan!

Uncle Suhan! Uncle Suhan!

Oh, uncle, it's me, Zafar.

Oh! Good that you told me.

Otherwise I'd think emperor Shahjahan..

.. has come with his Mumtaj Mahal.

Uncle, you left so early today?

I've not left early, you are late.

I know the reason very well.

Uncle, you had assured her aunt

that you'll take her with you.

Greetings!

- Greetings!

But I'd not permitted you to give

my mobile number to everybody.

Uncle, please don't get upset.

Nowadays the incoming calls are free.

And they have come out

with a very good new plan.

I know incoming is free.

But this phone is mine.

Not your father's.

My father.

- Shut up!

Tell her that we have names also..

.. for the donkeys and mules here.

What name her aunt has for her?

Nadira.

You shut up! What is your

name? - Nadira. - Huh!

Nadira!

Where has he come from?

He fell from the sky but

instead of falling on date tree.

.. he fell on my shoulders.

Mister, now the boss has

come. You may go home.

C'mon. Let's go.

Go!

Hey, why are you staring?

Leave the donkey and get lost.

Get lost!

C'mon.

Hey!

C'mon. Come. C'mon. Come.

C'mon. Come. C'mon. Come.

Come nicely!

"There is disco dance in your heart. "

"Disco dance!"
