Plot

Amidst the hills of Sultanpur, a picturesque village in Pakistan, lives Shahida, a mute six-year-old, with her parents. After an accident in which she is unable to call for help because she is mute, her mother, Rasia, decides to take her to the shrine of Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi, India, hoping it will restore her speech.

On the way back home, the train stops for repairs and Shahida gets off to save a lamb while her mother is asleep. The train leaves before Shahida can re-board. Panicked, she boards a freight train and winds up in Kurukshetra. There, she meets Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, who is affectionately called Bajrangi. He is a devout Hindu Brahmin and an ardent devotee of Lord Hanuman. Pawan resides at the home of his father’s friend, Dayanand Pandey, where he is engaged to Dayanand’s daughter, Rasika. He tries in vain to find out where Shahida lives. He starts calling her “Munni” and brings her home. Dayanand lets her stay, thinking she must be Brahmin. However, the family eventually learns that Munni is a Pakistani Muslim. An enraged Dayanand orders Pawan to have her sent to Pakistan through the Pakistani High Commission, but offices are closed due to protests. A local travel agent promises to take Munni to Pakistan without a passport but instead tries to sell her to a brothel, causing Pawan to become enraged. After rescuing her, he vows to take Munni home on his own despite not having a passport and visa.

Pawan and Munni are able to enter Pakistan under the border’s fences. Pawan is arrested under suspicions of being an Indian spy. During interrogation, he escapes with Munni, and meets Chand Nawab, a journalist who works for a Pakistani television channel. Nawab has been following Pawan’s situation, thinking he is indeed an Indian spy, but discovers that Pawan is just a victim of circumstances. Moved by his story, Nawab joins him in his journey to find Munni’s parents. They encounter an Islamic religious scholar who helps them avoid capture by police and directs the group to Azad Kashmir, after Munni recognises an area similar to her hometown in a calendar photo.

Nawab documents their journey on video, but his boss refuses to air it, thinking it’s a useless story. Nawab uploads the video on YouTube. While reviewing the footage, Munni recognises her mother getting off a bus in the background. The trio go to the bus station and finally identify Sultanpur as Munni’s hometown. They board a bus but are stopped by police who are looking for “the Indian spy”. Devising a plan, Pawan gets off the bus and runs toward the jungle while Nawab and Munni escape on the other side. Pawan is captured and shot in the arm. Meanwhile, Nawab and Munni reach Sultanpur, where Munni is finally reunited with her parents.

The videos uploaded by Nawab go viral throughout India and Pakistan, emotionally moving many. A compassionate senior officer realises that Pawan is innocent after his story is verified, and has him released, defying his boss’s order to keep him in jail. Nawab calls for support and thousands of Pakistanis and Indians congregate at Narowal Check Post, where Pawan is to return to India. As Pawan crosses the border, Nawab reveals that Munni’s real name is Shahida. Shahida, also in the crowd, runs toward the fence and after some effort, cries out her first word: “Mama” (uncle) to get Pawan’s attention. Pawan hears her voice, and the two run toward each other and this is how the film ends.
