"They were Hazaras. They would have looted and naked you. Then would have hit you in the head with the nail. Then would have sold your car in Pakistan."
"Light a cigarette!"
"Thanks for saving our life."
"No need for thanks. If you got killed, getting on the road might have been difficult for me."
"Son of a bitch! What’s the difference between you and these dogs? You people can shoot anyone for your interest…Bastard! You pissed in front of me. Now I will shoot you and throw you among these dogs… before dying, tell who started the war first?"
"We did!"
"What?"
"Pakistan…"
Afghan Lord says: "The movie is a complete humiliation and insolence for Afghanistan in common and Hazara in particular. In the movie, they refer to Hazara as bandits, looters and sodomites."
I can see how the Hazaras don't like that much, but it sounds like this movie has all the rollicking India vs. Pakistan vs. Afghanistan action you could ask for, presumeably with a dance number or two or 12 thrown in. Looks to be inspired by several real-life incidents of Indian journalists encountering difficulties in Afghanistan, several decades of real-life interference by Pakistan in Afghan affairs, and real-life Afghan banditry. No comment on the sodomy and looting parts. And no opinion on whether Afghanistan viewed through Bollygoggles represents anything like reality. Afghan Lord says no.
The rest of the dialog, with vid, here. Apparently bootlegged in an Indian theater.

So it goes. The Hazara have been getting the shaft for centuries - why should a Bollywood guy do any different than generations of politicians, warlords, criminals, bigots, dictators, kings, Pashtuns and Tajiks?
The Hazara are probably envious of the Kurds history...
