On an afternoon, a six-year old Shahida (Harshaali Malhotra) falls off a cliff, but is saved by an overhanging tree. She loses her ability to speak from the accident. Her worried mother takes her to the shrine of Nizamuddin Auliya, a Sufi saint, in Delhi, on the belief that it would regain the latter's speech. Returning from Delhi, the train makes a stop for repairs. Shahida gets off to play with a lamb as her mother dozes off. Unbeknownst to Shahida, the train drives off. Shahida boards a freight train, reaching Kurukshetra in the Indian state of Haryana. Once there, she meets Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi also known as Bajrangi (Salman Khan), a devout Brahmin and an ardent devotee of the Hindu deity Hanuman. He christens her "Munni" and tries in vain to find where she lives. In sequences of flashback, it is revealed that Bajrangi has been his father's reason for disappointment from his childhood due to failure in exams and being unable to fulfill his father's wishes. He graduates after eleven attempts at the exams, knowing which his father dies of shock. Bajrangi, looking for a job, goes to the house of his father's friend and wrestling coach, Dayanand (Sharat Saxena), in Delhi. Having spent time together with his daughter Rasika (Kareena Kapoor Khan), they fall in love with each other and Dayanand promises of getting them married on the condition that Bajrangi get employed and own a house. Cut to present, Bajrangi brings Munni to Dayanand's house, another devout Brahmin, who lets her stay on Bajrangi's convincing that Munni is a Brahmin as well, thanks to her fair complexion. Munni gets accustomed to being part of the household. A couple of incidents in the following days lead to the revealing that Munni is in fact, a Pakistani Muslim. An enraged Dayanand orders Bajrangi to make arrangements to have her sent to Pakistan through the Pakistan embassy, where Bajrangi's pleading fails. A sudden turn of events stirs him to take Munni to her parents in Pakistan, in person and without a passport and visa. With an unofficial consent from Pakistani soldiers patrolling the order, Bajrangi and Munni enter into the main territory of Pakistan. Shortly after their arrival, Bajrangi is arrested, having been suspected for an Indian spy. He escapes with Munni and meets Chand Nawab (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a correspondent employed with a Pakistani television channel, who has closely been following the developments. Moved by the story, Nawab joins Bajrangi in aiding him find Munni's parents. Also assisting them in their quest is an Islamic religious scholar (Om Puri), who helps them avoid capture by police and takes them to a safer location, and directs them to Azad Kashmir, after Munni recognizes an area similar to her hometown, from a photo in a calendar. Nawab captures their journey on video and narrates the story, and no channels agree to air it. Disappointed, he uploads the video on the Internet. Munni recognizes her mother walking by, in the video, and with a bus driver's assistance, the trio single out Sultanpur as Munni's hometown. They board a Sultanpur-heading bus, and are stopped by a squad of police who are on the lookout for 'the Indian spy'. Devising a plan to divert their attention, Bajrangi gets off the bus and runs toward the jungle in full view. He gets tracked down, beaten, and shot in the arm. Meanwhile, Nawab and Munni reach Sultanpur, where Munni is finally reunited with her mother. The first and the subsequent video uploaded by Nawab goes viral throughout India and Pakistan. A compassionate senior officer realizes that Bajrangi is innocent, and has him released, defying the order of keeping him in jail, what he felt would be petty on the part of Pakistan. Thousands of Pakistanis come to see Bajrangi off, and Indians to receive him, across the border. As Bajrangi crosses the border, Shahida, who is also in the crowd, runs toward the fence and cries out for him with her now regained speech; Bajrangi is ecstatic to see her, they run towards each other and embrace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bajrangi Bhaijaan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
