Open sesame.
Close sesame.
Hamza, Jafar. Scout ahead.
Then what happened, Father?
What else? The princess was after all, a princess.
She was adamant.
The vizier tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen.
She said that she won't drink a drop of water
until she avenged her father's death.
In that blazing heat, when even the eagles desert their eggs
there she sat, thirsty, without water.
Father, listening to your story, I am feeling thirsty.
Bandits.
Bandits!
Run! Run!
No! Do not run! Hold your ground!
Do not run! Fight them!
Do not run!
Corral the camels!
Corral the camels.
Control your camels.
Leave. Let it go.
Do not run! Hold your ground!
Anwar! Anwar!
Give me the gunpowder. It's our opportunity to test it.
Quickly, hurry up.
-Chief! -Chief!
Chief!
Chief, they have magical powers.
The fires of the Satan. What do we do?
They are firing at us.
We can't move ahead.
We can't fight them.
Then I must bring the Satan's fire to serve me.
Abu Hassan, which Satan fears Satanic fires?
Attack!
No, don't kill him.
Father! Father!
No! Do not kill my father!
Where did your father find the fires of Satan?
It is gunpowder.
My father is the only one who knows its secret.
Be quiet, dear.
Do not kill him.
This is the soil from Satan's Hell. Gunpowder.
With its power, we could...
Attention! Listen everyone.
The Sultan of Bahrestan
and Qazi Nuruddin
proclaim a reward of 10,000 dinars for the capture
of Abu Hassan, the bandit, dead or alive!
You're back, good-for-nothing fellow!
Did you go there to get the lids of the barrels or to make them?
Where the hell have you been?
I wish I had died.
Oh, Allah! Blood?
Whose blood is it?
-The camel's blood. -The camel's blood?
Brother, there's more to the world than your dinars.
If it's on me, it would be my blood, right?
Let me see.
It is a deep gash.
-Mother. -Mother?
-Mother! -Mother!
Be quiet!
-What happened? -What happened?
Your darling son got into a fight.
He fools around all day.
Allah! Look at all that blood!
-The wound needs a dressing. -Mother.
Lest the wound gets worse.
Useless fellow!
Idiot. You're so shameless.
Why do you fool your brother?
Aren't you ashamed of it?
Then should I endure his curses?
He was going to bash me up.
So what? An elder brother is like a father.
No, no one can take my father's place.
Not even my elder brother.
I was so young when father went away.
I don't even remember his face.
Mother, I miss him very much.
And when I see father's souvenir...
I wish I could run to him.
Yusuf Merchant, for the folks at home
having you back would be like celebrating Eid.
Perhaps, much more than that. The moon that marks Eid comes once a year.
They'll be seeing me after many years.
But why after so many years?
I have tried making to this crossing for the past four years.
But the weather has been inclement every time.
By the grace of the Almighty, I hope you reach home this time.
Master!
The sun is about to set and the men are tired.
Where do we pitch the tents?
Tell them, today we'll camp at the Oasis of Mercy. We're almost there.
As you wish.
This crossing will take us ten more days.
We won't find any water after this stop.
The next watering will be at the dam of Gulabad.
Its image is our ancestral symbol.
Happy tidings. My shop's fortune has changed.
What can I offer you, my lady?
-I'm just taking a look. -Sure. Take a good look.
You'll find pretty things here, just like you.
These bladders.
What do they cost?
Forget the price. First, have a look.
Consider the shop and the shopkeeper as yours.
Two dinars each.
That's too much.
Too less, lady. No one else in town stocks this stuff.
Why not?
Haven't you heard about Abu Hassan?
He never lets a single caravan reach Gulabad.
That is true.
Alright. Give me 20.
-Here's the money. -Never mind.
-Some other time. -Take it.
Brother!
-What? -A letter from father.
He is coming with his caravan.
-Great! -He is bringing a lot of merchandise.
Show me. What has he written?
Lady, you've brought us good luck.
I set my eyes on you and here, I get the news that my father is headed home.
The next time you come, I will show you the silk
from Patliputra, muslin from Dhaka
and lots more from Hindustan.
That is fine. When is your father coming?
The caravan set out from Takshila on the 15th day of the month of Muharram.
They will reach Gulabad on the 11th of this month.
This is what you need for the gunpowder.
May I see my father now?
Find out where they will camp
the night before they reach Gulabad.
-Father! -Fatima!
Fatima!
My child!
Father.
Do not cry, dear. Don't cry.
These tears would not help us break out of here.
But you could've escaped.
Why did you come back?
I could not desert you, Father.
Where would I go?
Had you escaped, you could have tried to get me freed.
Come, dear. Sit here.
If they send you out again to spy for them...
do not come back.
Go away. Hide somewhere.
No, Father. If I don't come back, they will kill you.
I'll stay here as long as you are here.
Old man, make sure the gunpowder is ready by tomorrow.
Or else your daughter will be killed.
Must be a bad day for some unfortunate caravan.
Everything is alright. Let us rest.
Chief.
Yes, one of Yusuf Merchant's forefathers built this dam.
This canal is the lifeline of Gulabad.
Hurry. Lay the gunpowder.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Men, find out who these people are.
It's Abu Hassan! Run! Run!
Don't run! Douse the fire!
Save the goods! Save the goods!
Make sure the loot is not washed away with the corpses.
Do not worry, chief.
Nothing will get away.
No, chief!
I was getting it for you, chief. For you.
Chief, he's lying.
He was taking it for his beloved.
The water is gone!
-The water! -Water!
Alibaba, did you hear that? They say that the water is finished.
The water is gone.
Let's go.
Come on. Let us find out.
-Qasim! -What?
Qasim, take a look here. Could this be our father?
Thank God, he is not.
Check every corpse carefully, Brother Qasim.
I don't even remember what father looks like.
Do not worry. Father is not among the dead here.
Let us search once more.
Allah, please keep our father safe.
-Brother Qasim. -Yes?
Could it be possible that this is not father's caravan?
Pray to Allah, be it so.
Qazi Sahib, my son is now an orphan.
Give him to me.
People of Gulabad, you must have courage!
Do not cry, son.
Till the time we have the strength to fight...
no one in this world can ever conquer us, let alone Abu Hassan.
He might have blown up the dam.
He might have destroyed our canal.
But he will not be able to make us die of thirst.
We will have wells dug in the city.
You will be able to buy water.
What will the poor do, Qazi Sahib?
Why not petition the emperor to build the dam once again?
Come hell or high water...
What's this? What a shame!
The emperor will never build the dam.
The emperor won't and the Qazi can't build the dam.
-Who is going to build the dam? -So what, Hamid?
Together we can.
Noble thought. But what about the money?
Remember, nothing can be done unless the emperor grants permission.
We just cannot produce water.
-Brother Qasim! -What?
This is the stuff that you stock.
Yes.
That girl. She had bought it.
She must be with the bandits who blew up the dam.
Come on.
Out of the way. Do not touch her.
Come on.
Dance.
"I'm a damsel"
"A damsel"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"A damsel, a damsel"
"So many lust after me, of all"
"Of them who should I make my lover?"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"A damsel"
"So many lust after me, of all"
"Of them who should I make my lover?"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"Who is he that I am crazy about?"
"Is he here, my darling?"
"Is it you? Is it you? In whose eyes I've drowned"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"A damsel, a damsel"
"He who values my life the most"
"Will be the one who can take it"
"Is it you? Is it you? In whose eyes I've drowned"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
Master.
It is a woman who will destroy you. Be warned.
Go and see it for yourself.
Your men will turn against you.
Stop them, or else you'll be ruined.
"Either you say that, Whom should I give a chance"
"Or I say whom do I want?"
"Is it you? Is it you? In whose eyes I've drowned"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"A damsel, a damsel"
"So many lust after me, of all"
"Of them who should I make my lover?"
"I'm a damsel, a damsel"
"A damsel, a damsel"
Girl, if you ever do this again, I will behead you.
Fatima. Speak, my child.
What have those devils done to you?
I knew that those scoundrels...
would rape you someday.
No, Father.
I have decided that I'll kill myself before that happens.
What is it, Father? What are you thinking about?
There is only one way out.
Keep this letter.
Promise me you'll open it after you are out of here.
But, Father--
Promise me, my child.
If that is what you want, Father, I promise.
Fatima, my child.
You must not mind this, Shamsher.
I happen to like you.
But my daughter, Marjina, doesn't like you.
And I'll not force her into anything she doesn't wish.
Think over it, Your Majesty, lest...
What do you mean?
-That-- -Your Majesty, there seems to be
a corpse lying over there.
Bairam, look into it.
Let it be. It is food for the vultures.
He could be alive.
Forgive me for saying this.
Mercy is a weakness.
Maybe... for those who are my enemies.
My friends do not think so.
He is alive, Your Majesty! He's breathing!
Hear that, Shamsher? I was right.
Move ahead.
Your Majesty, it's rare for a king to be mistaken.
For if kings were to make mistakes, they wouldn't be kings.
Move. Hurry.
Any chance he will survive?
He will. But it will take time.
He must have been in the water for a long time.
Where did this pigeon come from?
It was with him. A carrier pigeon.
A carrier pigeon?
Then let the pigeon carry a message. Write, that he is my guest.
But...
But he is ill and very weak.
He cannot travel on his own.
The emperor wants someone from his family to escort him home.
Thank God for keeping him alive.
-Qasim. -Yes, Mother?
You will set out at once to bring your father home.
-Me? -Who else?
I would have gone, Mother.
But there should be someone to look after my shop.
What?
Your shop means more to you than your father?
Mother, try to understand.
Very well, Mother. Let him take care of his shop.
I'll go get father.
Bless you.
Go at once.
But how am I to recognize father?
This ring is an heirloom.
Your father wears one just like this.
You have six days.
You have to be back here with the gunpowder
and the accessories before the sunset on the sixth day.
Otherwise...
your father will be killed.
Fatima, my child. I'm responsible for whatever that's happening to you.
You're forced to serve these devils to make sure they keep me alive.
Now, nobody can stop you from escaping to freedom.
By the time you read this letter, I will have killed myself.
Forgive me, my child. God bless you with a long life.
-Good-bye. -No!
Father! No!
Father!
Father! Father!
Abu Hassan, I shall avenge my father's death.
I shall have my revenge.
What are you thinking about, Yusuf?
Your next move? Or something else?
Your Majesty, what do I say?
There is still no reply from Gulabad.
If you kindly let me, Your Majesty, I would like to leave.
Wait for a day or two.
If no one comes by then
I will have you escorted back to Gulabad.
You are kind.
Your move.
-Check. -A revolt!
Your Majesty! There is a revolt!
A revolt!
Bairam! Shamsher!
Your Majesty.
At your service, my Lord.
You?
If kings were to make mistakes, they wouldn't be kings.
Traitor!
Attack! Yusuf, come with me.
Marjina is in danger. Take care of her, please.
Go on, Yusuf.
So the crown is mine.
But I could spare your life
if you gave your daughter, Marjina in marriage to me.
Never!
Never?
Never!
Bring me... Princess Marjina.
Anklets?
There! There she is! Let's go!
These people are after my life. Please help me.
Come on.
There they are! After them!
You aren't hurt, are you?
Go on. I will stop them.
How is my father?
He was...
What happened to him?
Do not cry, Marjina. Only the weak cry.
Now I'm your father.
We must get out of here as soon as possible.
Come, we must find a place to hide.
Come.
Find her.
Put the armies on the hunt.
Announce a reward!
By this evening, my Marjina should be with me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
And find the man who helped Marjina escape!
As you wish.
Who are you? Who are you?
Your Majesty, I bear the letter you sent me.
My letter?
I never write any letters.
Penmanship is not my calling.
I only know how to wield a sword. Want to see?
There is more to statesmanship than saber rattling, my Lord.
Maybe you could learn the way of the words.
This is insolence! Who are you?
I am here to take my father, Yusuf Merchant.
Your father is not in this world anymore. He might be up there.
Throw him out.
What?
Is my father dead?
Stop asking me questions.
I am not a priest. I am the emperor.
Throw this insolent fellow out. Out!
Lord! Please! Please listen to me!
Run along! Don't ever show your face again.
You must know Yusuf Merchant, right? He is my father.
He was the emperor's guest.
Is he really dead?
Don't tell anyone.
Shamsher has killed everyone who was close to the last emperor.
You spy! I will send you to your death!
Father, what are you doing? He saved my life from the rebels.
He did?
Then why was he coming in like a thief?
Did you expect me to come with the trumpets blaring?
Everyone in the city is looking for your daughter.
Forgive me, son.
It was my mistake that I took you for a spy.
Please don't embarrass me.
If you are her father, you are old enough to be my father too.
She is not my daughter.
She is the princess.
But as of now, she's in my care.
It is dangerous here.
You must leave as soon as you can.
You are right, son. Keep her company till I return.
Do not venture out.
I will arrange for the horses.
-We'll leave at nightfall. -Listen.
The soldiers are everywhere.
They might recognize you. It could be dangerous for you.
I will arrange for the horses.
Allah has sent us an angel.
Who is he?
I don't even know his name.
Let's go.
Father!
Let me go! Father!
Father?
Father!
Father?
Father, what happened?
Where is Marjina?
They... They took her.
Marjina, if only you knew my heart, if only you knew how much I love you.
-I hate you. -Doesn't matter.
After you become my queen, you'll love me.
Never!
Become the queen, you must!
For what would people say?
They will say that I caused this mayhem to grab the crown.
My love for you will be tainted, Marjina.
Traitor! I would rather kill myself.
Not before I humiliate you in public.
I will make you dance before the men who used to be your subjects.
You weasel! You fed on the scraps my father threw at you!
Wait a while, Your Majesty!
To make a beautiful girl dance, you do not need a whip.
What you need is a wicked plot.
Do you get it?
She doesn't. But she will. She will, Your Majesty.
Who are you?
How dare you enter without my permission?
You do not know me, Your Majesty?
I am the greatest of magicians.
I am the greatest of wizards.
There is a dove. There is a dove.
There goes the bird.
The dove is free.
Listen, can you bring this woman around?
My magic has the power. One nod at her and she'll wag her tail.
One wink at her and she'll come into my arms.
And try as much as she might, she will not escape my clutches.
Just give me your word, Your Majesty. She will dance for sure.
The magician will do such a trick that no one will believe it.
"The magician will do such"
"A trick that no one will believe it!"
"Don't pout my trick, Just dance for us, or else..."
"The magician will do such"
"A trick that no one will believe it!"
"Don't pout my trick, Just dance for us, or else..."
"The magician will do such A trick that no one will believe it!"
"Your youth will dance And the whole world will see"
"I control all the elements, From water to fire!"
"Your youth will dance And the whole world will see"
"I control all the elements, From water to fire!"
"Come on, my little dancer, take these"
"Anklets, just look at them and see"
"The magician will do such"
"A trick that no one will believe it!"
"Now I believe in you"
"You are a crazy magician"
"The way you charmed me"
"The whole world is amazed"
"Now I believe in you"
"You are a crazy magician"
"The way you charmed me"
"The whole world is amazed"
"You've crossed your limit, Tell me what is your intention?"
"How long will you harass me?"
"The magician will do such"
"A trick that no one will believe it!"
"It was a blessing of fate That you had made me your trick"
"Just quietly dance till I say so"
"It was a blessing of fate That you had made me your trick"
"Just quietly dance till I say so"
"My head is at your feet, with you Around I fear no one, come what may"
"The magician will do such A trick that no one will believe it!"
"Don't pout my trick, Just dance for us, or else..."
"The magician will do such A trick that no one will believe it!"
-Come on, Marjina. -They must not escape! After them!
Come on! Come on!
Soldiers!
There is a caravan travelling to Gulabad.
Join the caravan.
I will join you after I have dealt with the soldiers.
No, Father. Marjina and you join the caravan.
I will take care of the soldiers.
You don't know the lay of the land. You will get lost.
Hurry. Join the caravan. Go!
Take care.
Come, quench your thirst.
-Pay up and drink water. -Pay in dinars.
-Hurry up. Come, quench your thirst.
-Pay up and drink water. -Pay in dinars.
Hey! First, pay up.
If you can't pay for the water
pray for it to rain and keep your mouth wide open.
Right, brother?
-Give me a fill. Hurry. -Right away.
Would you like to drink water, lady?
You surely remember the day when you bought the bladders from me, right?
So many others would have bought bladders from you.
Stop your nonsense.
People use bladders to fill water.
Bladders aren't meant to be filled with gunpowder to kill innocents.
-What gunpowder? -Wretch! Liar!
You blew up the dam with the gunpowder
and forced people to buy water. You've made life miserable.
You must be the one who gives them the news.
Wretch, I will hand you over to the police.
No, please don't. I am a victim of Abu Hassan.
He is responsible for my father's death.
-Is that true? -Yes.
How do I convince you? I am not his accomplice.
I was his prisoner.
I was forced to obey him. He had held my father in a dungeon.
Dungeon?
Abu Hassan's dungeon?
Do you know the way?
If you show me the way, you are free to go.
I know the area.
-But you will have to find the entrance. -Let's go, right now.
No. Only after six days.
The bandits will come for me after six days.
I hear the place is filled with riches.
For yours to keep.
All I want is Abu Hassan.
I want his head.
Bring the water, quickly.
Will you die of hunger?
Move!
You must be the one.
A soothsayer once told me that my fortune will change the day
one of the most beautiful women walks into my life.
You must be the one. Come, bring me luck.
-A soothsayer once told me... -What?
that I would meet a moron someday.
This must be the day.
-Where are you sending the message? -To Gulabad.
What have you written?
I have asked them to adorn the city.
I have asked for the streets to be strewn with flowers
and for the trees to be lit up in the evening.
And when the princess...
When the princess enters the city...
she be welcomed with the light of many moons.
Whose pigeon?
-There is only one man in the caravan... -I know.
-who is carrying pigeons. -There he is.
Your line of fortune is very bold.
You will find a treasure.
-Treasure? -Yes.
What bigger treasure will I ever find?
I regret to have killed your pigeon.
You fool! I was sending a message home.
Your message will not reach the bandits.
Bandits? What do you mean?
I will tell you.
Tie him up.
Let's go.
No, let him go! He is innocent.
If you want him to live, just marry me.
Marry me.
Say yes.
Insolent!
Fire!
Help! Somebody, help!
-Help me! -Marjina!
Fire!
-Get me out of here! -Marjina!
-Fire! -Come here!
Come here, quickly!
Alibaba!
Go ahead!
-It's empty. -Take this.
Fraud!
Scoundrel! Fight me if you are man enough!
How dare you strike me!
Scoundrel!
-Yusuf? -Yes, Yusuf.
How dare you strike my man!
This is my caravan.
And he's a spy for the bandits.
He won't get a drop of water.
I can vouch for him.
And I know you too.
You are a thief. He is not.
Let us see how you stop me.
Beware.
-Drop the dagger. -No!
Well done, dear.
Who gave you this ring?
Where did you find it?
My mother gave it to me.
It is a souvenir from my dead father.
What is your name?
-Tell me. -Ali.
Ali, son of Yusuf.
What? Ali?
Do you not recognize me, Alibaba?
I am your father. I am Yusuf.
-Father? -Yes.
Father, you are alive.
Alibaba!
-Father! -My son!
My son!
-Father, where is your ring? -It must be with Abu Hassan.
He looted us on the dam.
No one moves.
Embrace your son, Yusuf.
You and your son will go to hell.
And Marjina will become mine.
Bandits! Bandits are here!
It's Abu Hassan! Abu Hassan! Run!
Abu Hassan! Abu Hassan! Run! Run!
Abu Hassan!
Run! Run! Run!
-Father? -Run away, dear!
-I have to fight. -No, Father!
-Hide behind the rocks. -I am not leaving you.
Do not be adamant. Go away.
-But what about you? -Go on.
-Let me go! Scoundrel! -Where are you going?
-Today, I'm not leaving you. -Let go of me!
Alibaba!
Father!
Father?
Let me be. Take Marjina with you.
Don't worry about me.
Go to Gulabad.
Do not say that, Father.
You are going to be alright, Father.
We will go to Gulabad together.
Oh, God! What happened to him?
What happened?
Abu Hassan attacked us.
-I pray the scoundrel goes to hell. -Father?
-I will go and fetch the physician. -Yes.
No.
Do not leave me now.
This is my last hour.
Let me see all of you before I die.
No. Do not say that.
-Water. -Let death take me instead.
Alibaba, get water. Hurry.
Not a drop of water here.
Go to the bazaar. Buy the water.
Is water being sold? Water?
Allah!
Is water being sold in my Gulabad?
Here you are. Rush home.
Give that to me.
Father.
-Father. -Give it to him, quickly.
Take a sip, Father.
-Father, have some. -No.
-I will not drink this water. -Have it.
I would rather die thirsting...
than drink water that has been bought.
Just one sip, Father.
-A little. -For my sake.
Abu Hassan wounded me.
Do not spare him.
You will avenge my death.
And you will build the dam once again.
Yes, Father.
I will build the dam.
My friend left Princess Marjina to me.
Promise me, you will find her.
Good-bye.
Father?
-Father? -My beloved!
Father.
The Emperor of Bahrestan had this beautiful crown
crafted for his successor.
And to the successor, the crown has come.
Abu Hassan is the future Emperor of Bahrestan.
Glory to the Emperor, Abu Hassan!
-Glory be! -Glory be!
-Glory to the Emperor of Bahrestan! -Glory be!
Now you should stake your claim to the throne.
Yes, you should.
What are you waiting for? Proclaim it.
No.
It will never be.
Abu Hassan.
Abu Hassan will never become the emperor.
Friends!
It takes power to wrest a kingdom.
Wealth begets power.
The power we never had as long as I was merely a Qazi.
That's why...
Abu Hassan was born.
But I will become an emperor in my own stead.
As the Qazi of Gulabad.
-Long live the Qazi of Gulabad! -Long live!
-Long live!
Long live the Qazi of Gulabad!
-What if they don't come? -It is the sixth day.
They will come.
They are coming!
Abu Hassan, I know that my father has committed suicide.
Still, I am leaving this gunpowder for you.
I hope you will give my father a decent burial.
Do not try to find me. Fatima.
The bird has flown.
Let us take the horses back. We must inform Abu Hassan.
Let's go.
If we light this trail of gunpowder...
Abu Hassan and his men will not survive the blast.
Let's go.
The fire is spreading too fast.
I hope it doesn't get them before they reach the cave.
What do we do now?
We have to work out a ploy to set them after us.
Why?
If we can capture even one of them...
finding the route will not be difficult.
Let's go.
Friends!
The first day of the New Year...
is a happy day for all of us.
If the dam was built, this would have been a happier day.
Worse, Abu Hassan is still alive.
But, there is good news.
For today, the water is free.
And listen. A man gets only as much water as he can carry.
Yes, make a line. Move back. Move.
Move back.
Chief, may I ask you something?
Why are you giving water for free?
We can't defeat the emperor of Bahrestan in open war.
There is only one way to get the throne.
The people should like me and hate the emperor.
Move! Move!
-I'm getting late. -Move back!
You can take only as much water as you can carry.
Let it be.
Let me help you, sister.
No. No.
You are the Qazi. How can you carry my burden?
Why not?
The ruler bears all the burdens.
This is just a bladder of water.
If only I could carry the burdens of the people of Gulabad.
Glory to the Qazi of Gulabad!
Where is your house, sister?
Glory to the Qazi of Gulabad!
Alibaba, your mother.
My son, Alibaba.
My Lord, this is the job of a porter.
I have many faces.
I am a brother to a woman, a father to an orphan
a servant of Allah and a ruler of men.
May the Lord protect you.
Genghis.
Serve water to my horse.
Let's go, Genghis.
They are coming. Be ready.
I am ready.
You wretch! Tell me, where is Abu Hassan?
I am looking for him, too.
Did you go to the well looking for him?
It was a ploy to lure him.
Is that so? Tell that to the Qazi, not me.
Just wait for a while. You will come to know.
I am misunderstanding?
-Qasim, come out. -Tell that to the Qazi.
Help me!
Fatima, we should get out of here.
If the bandits find us, they will kill us.
If Alibaba finds you, he will take you to the Qazi.
If Alibaba is not convinced, he will keep coming in our way.
Do not worry about Alibaba.
I will talk him out of it. Let's go.
Brother Qasim.
What is it?
That girl gave me the slip.
What girl?
-Marjina? -Not Marjina.
The girl who bought the bladders from you.
Abu Hassan's accomplice.
-She escaped? -Yes, I had captured her.
But her men engaged me and she escaped.
Forget her.
Ali, you should rather find Marjina.
That's what father wanted.
Mustafa, one more chance.
Give me one more chance to find Alibaba.
I will pay you whatever you want.
One last chance!
525 dinars.
580 dinars.
Come on! Raise your bid.
-600 dinars. -650.
-700. -800.
850.

Beware! If you touch my slave, I will break your arm!
Scoundrel, if you call Marjina a slave, I will slit your tongue.
This is not your caravan. You aren't calling the shots here.
I caught her when I went across the border.
According to our laws, she's a slave.
I can do whatever I wish.
She is mine, by the law.
I will teach you what the law is.
Stop, Alibaba. He's right.
If he caught her, she's his slave. That's the law.
-How much? -900 dinars.
I will give you a thousand.
Mother! Brother!
Mother, I have found Marjina.
-I have found Marjina. -Grace of God!
-Where is she? -She was being sold in the slave market.
I need 1000 dinars for her.
-I have nothing. -So what?
Qasim will give you the money.
1000 dinars?
That's a lot of money.
This is a matter of my prestige.
Prestige?
Whose prestige?
A man, who has wealth to his name, is a man of prestige.
What are you saying, Qasim?
Everything in this house belongs to the both of you.
Very well.
Let me see how much I can lay my hands on.
Mother.
Qasim has never said anything like this before.
Do not worry. Qasim will give you the money.
Alibaba.
-Yes, brother. -Alibaba.
Here are your 1000 dinars.
But I will give it to you on one condition.
Condition?
Alright. I accept.
Think before you say yes.
I have.
Sign this paper.
It says that you've sold...
your share in our property for 1000 dinars.
Qasim, your father has just been buried.
And you are robbing your brother already?
It's not my fault, Mother.
It is a matter of give and take.
I have decided.
-There is another condition. -Accepted.
Marjina won't enter this house.
Firstly, you robbed your brother.
And now you want to throw him out of the house?
Aren't you ashamed, Qasim?
-Mother. -Yes.
Brother is right.
This is not my house anymore.
I will not bring Marjina here.
And I will return your 1000 dinars.
Consider it as my parting gift.
Good-bye.
-Do not leave me, son. -Mother...
I will take you with me, Mother.
Ali, wait.
I am coming with you.
Mother!
Don't call me mother.
Your mother is dead!
Come, Mother.
Not the right thing to do, Qasim.
After all, Alibaba is your brother.
Not your enemy.
All I want is wealth.
And you are the one who can give it to me.
Not my brother.
Come home with me.
You can hide in my house.
God bless you.
I have found the daughter I never had.
And I have found a mother.
But I thought she was going to be his bride.
Don't waste time. Marry her.
All in good time.
Hamid, until the dam is built, I may enjoy none of the pleasures of life.
Amen.
Alibaba, have you thought of it?
By the time you save enough to build the dam
you will have become a doddering old man with a long beard.
Say that to your father.
I can achieve anything.
I am strong.
No matter if I have to cut timber for a living.
Where are you going?
Stop! Stop!
There's nothing over there. Stop!
Stop! Stop!
You fool! You fool! Stop!
Stop!
Stop, darling. Stop!
I'll teach you a lesson today.
Open...
sesame.
Open sesame.
Take it. You may take it.
-Do not fear. -Who are you?
I am Simsim, the keeper of the cave.
Where are you?
You won't be able to see me.
Only my master can see me.
No one else.
Is this Abu Hassan's wealth?
Wealth belongs to no one.
Take what you want.
I don't want these riches.
I want Abu Hassan dead.
-So much money? -I stole it.
-Have you been robbing people? -Yes, Mother.
What?
I have to build the dam, Hamid.
With the money you've stolen?
This belongs to Abu Hassan.
Have you joined him?
Yes.
I have just found his cave.
But soon, I will kill him.
Tomorrow, I'll tell Qazi all about it.
Then the dam will never be built.
Why?
Once Abu Hassan is apprehended...
his wealth will be confiscated by the Emperor of Bahrestan.
And the emperor sells water.
Do you expect him to give you money to build a dam?
So should I drop the idea of building the dam?
No.
Till the time the dam is built, let Abu Hassan remain a secret.
Once the dam is built, it's over for Abu Hassan.
Splendid!
What brains!
And why not? You are a princess.
But there's something that must be done tonight.
What?
Who are you?
Marjina.
So you are Marjina?
What do you want?
Alibaba has sent 1000 dinars to you.
1000 dinars?
Where did he find the money?
-Did he rob someone? -Your guess is as good as mine.
I have to leave.
Let me escort you home.
No, thank you. I am going to the bazaar.
To the bazaar?
At this hour?
What do you need to buy from the bazaar?
Alibaba asked me to buy weighing scales.
A weighing scale? I have one at home. You can use it.
I'll get it right away.
What if someone wants to know where all this wealth came from?
I will say it was donated by people.
What is the matter?
I am going to meet Alibaba.
Why?
He has called me.
-Called you? -Yes.
He sent me an invitation.
He has called me over...
to take my share of the inheritance.
Off I go.
Alibaba, listen to me.
Congratulations, Alibaba.
I am proud of you that you are making father's dreams come true.
What brings you here?
I'm here to help you.
I wish to help you do your good deed.
Is that true?
I swear.
Brother Qasim, I am very happy.
If you are here to work with me, we'll build this dam in no time.
Listen. Come with me.
Brother, take this and tear it to pieces.
What is it?
It's our old agreement. Tear it into pieces.
I say, tear it into pieces.
Give it to me.
Like this. And this.
Brother, do you know why Abu Hassan blew up the dam?
It was a show of strength to scare the people of Bahrestan.
And you are building the dam.
Do you think he will let you live?
Brother, this dam is my mission in life.
There are many more like me who will stake their lives for the dam.
No, Brother. The work will stop without you.
Where will the money come from?
Money... there's lots of it.
You speak as if you've found a treasure.
Yes, I have found a treasure.
But I'll not speak about it, till the dam is complete.
Listen.
If something happens to you, how will the dam be completed?
Tell me about it, my brother. Tell me.
You must promise that you will not go there as long as I am alive.
I swear it. Now come on.
Open...
sesame.
Oh, Allah!
-Riches! -Take it.
Take it all. Do not be afraid.
Take as much as you can.
-Yes. -The wealth is all yours.
I will! I will!
This one. And that too.
I will take it all away.
I will buy all of Gulabad.
I will become the emperor!
I will marry many maidens!
Fatima? I will throw her out!
I'll have fun.
Door, open up.
Open the door.
Open up!
God help me.
Quiet! I have forgotten it because of you.
Tell me! Tell me! How do I open the door?
Please, open up!
If you let me leave, I will never come back!
Never!
Please, let me out of here!
Open the door.
Bandits?
Someone knows about our secret cave.
There must be someone in here.
I know you are inside the cave!
Come out. You can't escape alive!
Come out!
Look for him.
Search every corner. Hamza, look in the dungeon.
There is no one here, chief.
No one? We will find out in a moment.
Show me.
Qasim's horse?
Come on, freshen up.
The food is ready.
My love, if you'll treat me so gently like the women of Hindustan
you will spoil me.
Slaves are meant to serve.
After all, you bought me for 1000 dinars.
That was a ransom.
And look at me. I got sold out for nothing.
-For nothing? -Yes.
You liar! What more do you want?
What more do I want?
Hamid!
Alibaba.
-What happened? -She is an accomplice of the bandits.
Make sure she doesn't escape.
-She might be up to something. -Alibaba, listen to me.
Sure, I will.
After I find my brother.
Do not go alone. It is dangerous.
Brother...
I wish you had not been so greedy.
Hamid! Hamid!
Coming.
Oh, Allah!
-Qasim! -Don't cry, Mother.
-Don't cry. -My son!
My son! Who killed him?
-Who killed him? -Listen, Marjina.
Before we bury him, his wounds have to be stitched.
Or else, people will become suspicious and the bandits will find us.
I will find an undertaker.
Blindfold him. No one must know.
Alibaba!
Listen to me, Alibaba!
Just shut up.
Or else, I will bury you with him.
But...
Go on, Marjina.
So strange.
He took the corpse.
He took the riches.
And we don't even know who he is, or where he lives!
We don't know what he will do next!
This is hilarious!
We are forty of us! Forty!
And we are at the mercy of one man.
Scoundrels! Who are the ones who play with lives?
We do!
Who turns blood into gold? We do!
Scoundrels!
If they have found our wealth, they will find us, too!
Who? Who will find him?
Abu Hassan...
leave it to me.
Find out where Fatima is.
I am sure she's after us.
Find her wherever she may be.
Eat something.
Come, I will untie you.
Will you be able to escape the hangman's noose as easily?
I am not scared of death.
In fact, I am waiting for it.
In that case, you'll have to wait for one more night.
Tomorrow, Alibaba is going to turn you over to the Qazi.
That's what I don't want.
I don't want Alibaba to be responsible for the death of an innocent.
The decision about your innocence...
will be taken tomorrow.
You have my sympathies.
But Alibaba has just buried his brother.
I don't think he's in any mood to listen.
Believe me! I am innocent.
Marjina!
-Fatima escaped! -Come with me.
Give it to me.
Go this way. I will look the other way.
Come into my arms, love.
Are you new here?
How about a drink, my love?
Drink the liquor. Drink it.
Get off me!
Come closer.
Get off me!
-Let me go! -Beautiful!
It'll be better if you come with me.
Marjina.
-You? -Yes, it's me.
-Let me go. -Alibaba is not with you, but I'm here.
-Quiet! Let me go! -I won't let you go today.
Here. Have some liquor.
It will soothe your anger.
Drink!
-Will you drink or not? -Come on, drink it.
Come on, drink.
Fatima, Allah helps those who help others.
Marjina is in danger. Help her out.
Leave the rest to Allah.
Come on, drink!
"In the whole city There is only one beauty"
"And she can only be me, Not anyone else!"
"Don't look at her, look at me!"
You witch! You think you can escape Abu Hassan?
Come along.
"In the whole city There is only one beauty"
"And she can only be me, Not anyone else!"
"Don't look at her, look at me!"
"In the whole city There is only one beauty"
"And she can only be me, Not anyone else!"
"Don't look at her, look at me!"
And then my father committed suicide.
Your brother gave me shelter.
But now, even he is gone.
Now there is only one thing that I live for.
The fire of revenge rages in my heart.
One day, I will find him.
Abu Hassan will find us before that.
What do you mean?
We are marked. Someone has put a mark on our door.
And it's only Abu Hassan that wants to find us.
He might attack. Any moment now.
We should inform the Qazi.
Okay.
Tomorrow, I will inform the Qazi about everything.
-Which house? -The one with the mark.
There is a mark here too.
One over there too.
Did you mark all of them?
No, I just marked one.
The enemy has outsmarted us.
Someone must've seen you while you were marking this house.
Qazi Sahib.
I was... I was just coming to you.
-I have found Abu Hassan's cave. -I see.
Make an announcement in the city. The more men we can gather, the better.
That devil will not surrender to us so easily.
Not so fast, Alibaba.
Abu Hassan's spies might be here, in Gulabad.
If they find out that we are coming, the bandits will vanish.
What should we do then?
Mehmood, go on! Prepare for battle.
Muster 300 men at arms.
I am not destined to be defeated.
The man whom no one could find came walking to me.
-Shall we proceed, Alibaba? -Come with me.
For the last time, Alibaba, give me two answers.
-Where is Fatima hiding? -I don't know Fatima.
Who else knows about the cave?
I am the only one who knows.
Think it over again, Alibaba.
You might remember.
Abu Hassan, my brother Qasim knew about it.
And you've already killed him.
If your brother knew, your wife must know too.
And if you don't have a wife, you'll die a bachelor.
He's not answering my questions.
Perhaps, he doesn't know that I mean business.
What is the mark that I've put on your head?
The mark I put on Alibaba's house.
And why is the mark on your head?
Because that is the punishment for a mistake.
And you deserve it!
Did you hear that?
Alibaba.
Not just you, your family will also pay for your crimes.
You killed my father! Scoundrel!
You murdered my brother!
Not a word more about my family.
I am the only one who knows about the cave.
Do what you want to do with me!
What do you say, Alibaba? Should I let him go?
He will pray for you.
Let him go.
Run away.
Run!
You murderous dog!
Where is Qazi Sahib?
Tell me, where is the Qazi?
You've killed him too.
Jafar!
Oh God!
Give me strength.
Run away, Ali!
Hey! Catch him. He mustn't escape!
Hurry up! Catch him. Follow him, fast.
He mustn't escape!
Hamid! Flood the dam!
Let the water in!
-Let the water in! -Hurry up! Come on.
Hurry up! Come on.
Alibaba! Hurry up!
Come on. Let's go back.
Friends, the Qazi is in danger.
We went in search of Abu Hassan.
And he isn't back, yet.
-I am afraid he must be-- -Qazi Sahib is here!
-Friends, prepare to celebrate.
Now you need not fear Abu Hassan.
He has been killed with this sword.
I have killed him myself.
Glory to Qazi Sahib!
-Glory to Qazi Sahib! -And thanks to Alibaba
the water flows in the canal once again.
Let us celebrate for 40 days.
In these 40 pitchers is the wealth Abu Hassan looted.
Every day, the riches in one pitcher will be given away to the poor.
-Glory to Qazi Sahib! -Keep these pitchers in Alibaba's house.
Abu Hassan took it from me.
I have waited an eternity for this moment, Qazi Sahib.
Let's go. Come.
Fatima, where are you going?
-I am going away. -Why?
Alibaba, I have lost.
I have lost.
I could not avenge my father's death.
Who says so?
We're celebrating your victory.
Yes.
Inside the 40 pitchers, are the 40 bandits.
"If the secret in my Heart ever comes out"
"All hell will break loose"

Abu Hassan?
-The bandit? -The Qazi is the bandit?
-The bandit? -The Qazi is the bandit!
Mark him well, people of Gulabad.
He is the Qazi.
The keeper of the law is a murderous bandit.
Our Qazi, alias Abu Hassan.
Abu Hassan, your game is up.
You fool, who do you think has the guts to face Abu Hassan?
Come out, my brave friends!
Let us paint the town red!
Let us burn it down! Do not spare a man!
Jaber!
No one?
Aslam, Mehmood, Asif, Faisal, Ali!
Where the hell is everyone?
They are dead, Abu Hassan.
But I have a gift for you. A gift from hell.
Remember this?
Gunpowder.
You blew up the dam and made us pay for the water.
With your blood, you will pay for the water we thirsted for.
-No! -Fatima!
Where are you escaping?
What have you done?
Abu Hassan, get ready to face Allah.
Say it.
Say it with me.
There is no God but Allah.
Say it!
There is no God but Allah...
and Mohammed is His prophet.
Fatima!
Leave me! Alibaba!
Simsim, shut the gate. Alibaba is coming for me.
I am all alone. All my men have been killed.
A woman?
You have brought a woman here again.
I had told you to beware of women.
A woman will destroy you.
Help me, Simsim.
I will try, master.
For as long as you are alive, I live.
Close sesame.
The gate has been closed forever.
Open sesame.
Open sesame!
Now you are dead.
Marjina!
Alibaba, we must get out of here. Hurry up.
Where is Abu Hassan?
He is dead. Look, he's lying there.
He escaped my revenge.
I would have avenged...
my father, my brother, Fatima and everyone in Gulabad.
Forget it. Hurry up now. This place is scary.
-Wait, Marjina. -What happened?
I must take my father's ring.
I am here, Alibaba.
And I am here, Alibaba.
Very brave of you to have come all alone.
This is going to be difficult for you.
For there is not one Abu Hassan.
There are 40 Abu Hassans here.
Will you be able to find out the real one?
Which one of us?
A lie can never be hidden. Scoundrel!
You think these tricks can save you?
I will find you and then I will kill you like a dog!
Oh!
I don't use threats.
But I promise you a death, like a death never before.
Scoundrel, where is Marjina?
Alibaba, I am here!
Marjina!
Marjina, where are you?
-Alibaba, I am here! -Marjina!
Help me!
Alibaba, help me!
Help!
Alibaba, help me!
Abu Hassan! Master!
Careful!
Marjina.
Watch out!
Do not move.
There are many who seek revenge against Abu Hassan.
But you are the object of Abu Hassan's revenge. an.
