Lyrics
Chahe pandit ho chahe kazi
चाहे पंडित हो चाहे काजी
Whether it is a Pandit or a Qazi
Rah ek hai dawar ek hai sun jara
राह एक है दवा एक है सुन जरा
The path is one, medicine is one, just listen
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Koi bhi hai wo yaar yaar hai sun jara
कोई भी है वो यार है सुन जरा
Whoever it is, listen to it
Kar na gustakhiya akal se kam le
कर न गुस्ताखिया अकाल से कम ले
don't take it less than famine
Lena hai agar tujhe allah ka nam le
लेना है अगर तुझे अल्लाह का नाम ले
If you have to take the name of Allah
Badh ke baho me tu yaar ko tham le
बढ़ के बहो में तू यार को थम ले
You stop your friend
Dosti ke liye yaar ka jam le
दोस्ती के लिए यार का जाम ले
Take a friend's jam for friendship
Sab kuch bhulke chal hum
सब कुछ भुलके चल हम
let's forget everything
Masti me jhum le
मस्ती में झूम ले
kick in the fun
Wo diwana hai kisne jana hai
वो दीवाना है किसने जाना है
he is crazy who has to go
Jurm to nahi pyar karta hai bawra
जुर्म तो नहीं प्यार करता है बावरां
Bawran doesn't love crime
Kya khrabi hai wo sarabi hai
क्या बुरा है वो साराबी है
what is bad she is sarabi
Bad pine ke sach to kahta hai bawra
बुरा पाइन के सच तो कहता है बावरा
Bawra tells the truth about bad pine
Jo gunehgar hai sabse darte hai wo
जो गुणगर है सबसे डरते हैं वो
Those who are virtuous are most afraid
Apne karmo ka fal roke bharte hai wo
अपने कर्मो का फल रोके भारत है वो
India is the one who stops the fruits of his deeds.
Jisme sachayi hai haske marte hai wo
जिसमे सच्चा है उसके मरते हैं वो
Those who are true die
Atma jo kahe ham to karte hai wo
आत्म जो कहे हम तो करते हैं वो
We do what the self says
Sab kuch bhul ke kal hum masti me jhume
सब कुछ भूल के कल हम मस्ती में झूमे
forgetting everything tomorrow we danced in fun
Ye dosti hai bandagi ispe fida ye jindgi
ये दोस्ती है बंदगी इसपे फ़िदा ये ज़िंदगी
This is friendship
Karti nahi beimaniya ye chahat ki kurbaniya
कार्ति नहीं बेमानिया ये चाहत की कुर्बानिया
Karti nahi meaningless, Yeh Chahat ki Kurbaniya
Kya hai bhala kya hai bura
क्या है भला क्या है बुरा
what is good what is bad
Ye hai yaha kisko pata
ये है याह किसको पता
this is yah who knows
Mandir me ga mszid me ga
मंदिर में गा मसजिद में गा
Singing in the Temple Singing in the Masjid
Ishwar khuda koi bana
ईश्वर खुदा कोई बना
god made someone
(Chahe pandit ho chahe kazi ho
(चाहे पंडित हो चाहे काजी हो)
(whether a pandit or a qazi)
Rah ek hai dwar ek hai sun jara
राह एक है द्वार एक है सुन जरा:
The path is one, the door is one, just listen:
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Ya pujari ho ya namaji ho
Koi bhi hai wo yar yar hai sun jara

About the movie
Summary
The film starts with Saketh Ram as a very old man and almost immediately goes into flashback. As a young man he is among his friends, in conviviality. He has taken a Bengali wife, Aparna, and everything is wonderful in his life, However the year is 1946, and the imminent independence of India from British suzerainty is complicated by religious antagonism between the Hindu majority and the large Muslim minority, who demand their own independent state. Saketh and Aparna visit Calcutta; rioting is reported, but Saketh goes out to get some food, and he soon encounters a Hindu woman being chased by Muslim rioters. He rescues her, but the rioters later come to his house, and brutally rape and then kill his wife. Saketh is devastated and takes to the streets, determined personally to kill as many Muslims as he can find. He meets up with Sriram Abhiyankar, who is leading a group of Hindu extremists, and Saketh becomes temporarily taken with the cause himself. At the same time, he is persuaded to take a new wife, Mythili, and life begins to stabilize for Saketh after all. However he then falls in with an eminent Maharajah who is leading an underground group with the intention of assassination. Travelling with the Maharajah, Saketh meets one of his old friends from younger days, who has fallen on hard times. Reminiscing, and getting his old friend back on his feet deflect the process of recruiting Saketh, but only temporarily, and soon he is manipulated into committing himself to renouncing his family and his new wife, in the interests of the cause which now is disclosed as the assassination of Gandhi. Although a fellow Hindu, Gandhi was felt by some to be too conciliatory to Muslims and in the logic of extremists, Gandhi became the prime target. Soon Saketh is informed that Gandhi will be in Delhi for some weeks, and that Saketh is to take the opportunity to do “his duty”. However, hiding from a snap search by the police, he has to hide his pistol on a delivery lorry, and it is driven away to a factory owned by Muslims. Going there hoping to retrieve the gun, he becomes engulfed in a shoot-out between some Hindu attackers and the Muslims, and finds that his loyalties are not so clear cut as he had imagined. Finally he escapes after the death of another of his old friends in the crossfire. The next day, January 30th 1948, he contrives to be near Gandhi in a public prayer ground, his appointment with destiny. But the film still has 20 minutes to run, and the ending is not what you expect.
