Maula Jatt - Story

Story

The film is an unofficial sequel to the 1975 film Wehshi Jatt. Wehshi Jatt itself was inspired by an Urdu play "Gandasa" written by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi which depicts a bloody feud in Gujranwala against the backdrop of rural Punjab.

Following the settlement of Maula's family feud in Wehshi Jatt, Maula has renounced violence and is in charge of administering the peace of his village and it's surrounding villages. The film begins with Makha chasing a girl through villages. She asks for help but as soon as people hear that she is being pursued by Makha, the brother of Noori Natt they ask her to leave and not share her misfortune with them.

She arrives in Maula's village and is sheltered by Maula's sister- in-law. Maula Jatt arrives and decrees that if Makha wants to avoid the fate of being killed by his 'Gandasa' (Traditional Punjabi machete style weapon) he should marry the very girl he has dishonoured and also marry his sister off to the girls brother. The girl has no family so Maula orders Makha to marry his sister to his friend Moodha.

When Makha returns home to plot his revenge, his sister Daro incensed upon hearing what he has agreed to kills him. The Natt clan now try to avenge the humiliation that Maula Jutt has caused them while Maula Jutt tries to ensure that his decision is enforced.

Famous quotes containing the word story:

    I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
