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:

    That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    Personal beauty is then first charming and itself, when it dissatisfies us with any end; when it becomes a story without an end; when it suggests gleams and visions, and not earthly satisfactions; when it makes the beholder feel his unworthiness; when he cannot feel his right to it, though he were Caesar; he cannot feel more right to it than to the firmament and the splendors of a sunset.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The perfect detective story cannot be written. The type of mind which can evolve the perfect problem is not the type of mind that can produce the artistic job of writing.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
