00:00I don't know what to do with myself, I don't know what to do with myself, I don't know
00:30what to do with myself, I don't know what to do with myself, I don't know what to do
01:01I am not the one who has been warning you till now.
01:05I will not warn you. I will do what I have to do.
01:13Today you will make four promises in front of me, which you will keep all your life.
01:22Secondly, don't think that you will go back to India and escape from us.
01:31Wherever you run in this world, you will definitely find us.
01:37First promise, you will stop singing obscene songs right now.
01:48Do I sing such songs alone?
01:52Don't others sing?
01:56Almost every artist in Punjab sings such songs.
01:59More obscene than me.
02:01But every time my name is mentioned alone.
02:03Why?
02:05Because those same artists are conspiring against me.
02:08They want to get rid of me.
02:11Can't you see?
02:15I had promised not to make such obscene songs.
02:18Since then I have not made a single song.
02:19But you must sing.
02:22Even after making a promise.
02:24People ask for the same songs. What can I do?
02:26They force me to sing.
02:28You will not sing such songs.
02:31This is for sure.
02:34If you have a lot of trouble, then stop singing.
02:37Find some other work.
02:41Remember that we are not the protectors of religion, but the protectors of the society.
02:45We will not let you pollute the society.
02:47We will set an example for the youth of Punjab.
02:51First promise.
02:53You will not sing such songs from today.
02:57Second promise.
02:59You will stop drinking.
03:01Third promise.
03:03You will stop eating meat and fish.
03:05And I have heard that you are very fond of cigarettes.
03:08So your last promise is that
03:10you will not even touch cigarettes and cigarettes from today.
03:13You will not even touch cigarettes and cigarettes from today.
03:16And the door of the car is not closed here.
03:19Let me see.
03:25I have told you so many times not to do this.
03:43That day I understood that Chamkeela has gone mad.
03:48The fear inside him is over.
03:52He is a dead man.
03:55Dakkan was Chamkeela's old companion.
03:58From the days of footpath.
04:01That day he also stopped working with Chamkeela.
04:05He was very happy.
04:08He was very happy.
04:10He was very happy.
04:11He was very happy.
04:13The rest of the group was also scared.
04:18But the situation in Punjab got worse.
04:22An atmosphere was created against Chamkeela.
04:27Chamkeela has said that he is not afraid of anyone.
04:30He is spoiling the name of our religion.
04:32We will have to teach him a lesson.
04:34He himself wants to embrace death.
04:36What can we do?
04:39Come on. Come on.
04:41Come on. Come on.
04:43Mr. Sivya. Mr. Sivya.
04:45Someone shot at Mr. Astha's car.
04:47If you shoot at the car today, you can shoot at Chamkeela tomorrow.
04:50Why didn't you tell him not to come back to Punjab?
04:56It's just a matter of a few days.
04:58Stay out of Punjab for a few days.
05:00Then everything will be fine.
05:02People forget very quickly.
05:04Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
05:06I am very satisfied.
05:08You understand the situation.
05:09What are you saying?
05:11I am sure that people will forget very soon.
05:14There will be another Chamkeela in Punjab.
05:18There will be another Chamkeela?
05:20Is it so easy to become Chamkeela?
05:22It's very difficult, brother.
05:24It's very difficult.
05:26Chamkeela, no one can replace you.
05:29You understand this.
05:31Okay.
05:33Mr. Ajinda must have also thought the same.
05:35Sitting here in Canada.
05:37Listen.
05:39Till date, as many records of any artist in Punjab have been sold
05:43as many of your albums have been sold.
05:46And this is a bad thing too.
05:48Because people are jealous of you.
05:50And at this time, someone will take advantage of you.
05:52This warning is on you.
05:55On the pretext of this, someone will give money to a professional killer
05:58and take out enmity from you.
06:00Are you understanding or not?
06:03What do you have to do?
06:05Stay out of Punjab for a few days.
06:07What's the big deal?
06:10This is my whole life.
06:13It's not a big deal.
06:15Chamkeela, wait, brother.
06:18Wait for some time.
06:21No, brother.
06:23I can't wait.
06:25Why can't you wait?
06:27Look, this is a bad time.
06:29Let this time go.
06:31Is this a bad time?
06:33This is the time.
06:35Now people are listening, Chamkeela.
06:37This is my chance.
06:40You don't want to live, do you?
06:42You don't want to live, do you?
06:44It's in my hands to live.
06:46Do you think that if I do this and not that,
06:48my fate will change?
06:50If a bullet has to kill me,
06:52if it's written here,
06:54then it will happen.
06:56That bullet will hit me.
06:58I will make you understand.
07:00Sibiya, you are very sensible.
07:02And I am illiterate.
07:04But I have also seen the world.
07:06This world doesn't work with sensibility.
07:09And you can do whatever you want with it.
07:13You don't have to understand anything.
07:18You are stuck with me.
07:22You will also go.
07:26You have a child.
07:29There is going to be another one.
07:32You can wait.
07:34And then?
07:36You will survive.
07:38And then?
07:46These gunmen
07:49have a job to shoot.
07:51So they will shoot.
07:53We are going to play music.
07:55Our job is to sing.
07:57So we will sing.
08:00Neither will they stop for us,
08:02nor will we stop for them.
08:05As long as we are here,
08:07as long as we are on stage,
08:10and we die alive,
08:12it's better we die and live.

11:02Chamkeela, this is Chamkeela.
11:04You'll eat cold roti, Chamkeela?
11:08This is Dina's Chamkeela.
11:10Hey!
11:11I'm just kidding. Give me some roti.
11:12Don't make me angry.
11:14Here, give me some roti.
11:15I'll get some hot roti.
11:15No, I want to eat it here.
11:17Here, here. I'll show you.
11:19It has my name on it.
11:21Chamkeela.
11:23Isn't it?
11:25Are you staying in Faridkot or Jamalpur tonight?
11:28And have you brought Ripu home?
11:30Let's wait and see.
11:34Come on, let's go.
11:36Do we have to study in such a long time?
11:39Is this a test?
11:41No.
11:51Shall we?
12:10Dina, let's go!
12:41Farid!
13:05Farid, my son!
13:08Didn't anyone go inside?
13:10No.
13:36What happened to you, Farid?
13:38What happened to you?
13:39Have patience, Farid.
13:40It's all over, Farid.
13:43And whatever's left,
13:44they're going to take it all.
13:46Stop it.
13:47No, Farid. It's not like that.
13:49That's how it is, Farid.
13:50They're worthless people.
13:52Otherwise, their daughter is dead.
13:54What are they doing inside?
13:56They're collecting all the money and gold.
13:59Do they know
14:00that they won't get anything after this?
14:02Shameless!
14:03How dare you talk to me like that?
14:05Leave Dina alone.
14:06Who's Dina?
14:07What are you doing?
14:08Do you even know what you're saying?
14:33One minute.
14:38What's going on?
14:39What's going on?
14:41What's going on?
15:07That's it.
15:10Sir.
15:12Let's go.
15:39Let's go.
16:09Let's go.
16:40You all are pure,
16:45but I'm a sinner.
16:51You all are pure,
16:56but I'm a sinner.
17:01Farewell to me.
17:03Farewell to me.
17:06Farewell to me.
17:11Today, in the Police Headquarters,
17:14in front of the reporters...
17:15The case file for Chamkeela murder has been closed.
17:18We have no other work
17:19than to follow a singer.
17:20A singer?
17:21Is Chamkeela just a singer?
17:23Do you know how many people
17:24are being killed in Punjab every day?
17:26And do you know who Chamkeela was?
17:28What did you hear about him?
17:29Yes, I know who Chamkeela was,
17:32what kind of songs he made,
17:34and what kind of things you wrote about him.
17:36Don't make me open my mouth.
17:37If I die, Chamkeela will become a hero.
17:39Why would you lie?
17:42You all speak the truth.
17:48I don't belong to the world
17:52where you all live.
17:58I want to be with you.
18:04That's what I wanted.
18:09The truth is,
18:12whatever was bad here,
18:15it was because of me.
18:19Farewell to me.
18:22Farewell to me.
18:25Farewell to me.
18:38Greetings, mother.
18:39Greetings, son.
18:56What are you doing?
18:58Homework.
19:26If you want, you can listen to it.
19:29Chamkeela.
