STORY LINE:
The film then cuts to a heavenly place where Jinnah is awaiting the final judgment on his deeds. While it is found that the celestial bureaucrats in charge have misplaced Jinnah's file of life and the whole heavenly computer network is down. With nothing but time on his hands, Jinnah has to answer the questions of his life asked by the heaven guide or Narrator (Shashi Kapoor) in order to decide where Jinnah should be sent, to Heaven or Hell.
The guide takes Jinnah to 1947 where, at the Simla conference with Lord Mountbatten, Jinnah demanded a separate homeland for Indian Muslims. It was hoped, by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country, violence will abate. Fatima Jinnah started to campaign for Muslims and was arrested by an Indian police officer for being in a favor of Muslims. It is then shown that Muslims are attacked and killed by Sikhs and Hindus during the prayer, which is observed by Jinnah.
After World War II, British India finally grants Indian Independence. Religious tensions between Hindus and Muslimserupt into nation-wide violence and leads to the idea of the Partition of India. In a meeting with Mountbatten, Gandhi proposes Idea of making Jinnah the first prime minister of India in order to avoid partition but Jawaharlal Nehru opposes the idea. Jinnah refuses the offer and says, "Why do you want to force reluctant partners into a marriage?"
The Guide then questions Jinnah as to why he rejects the offers, Jinnah reveals that he is suffering from tuberculosis and is in the last stage. He asked the doctor to keep it secret due to the country's precarious situation.
Flashbacks resume when the Guide recounts the marital life of Jinnah, when he fell in love and married a Parsi named Rattanbai Petit, later known as Maryam Jinnah, against the will of her parents on grounds of religion. In 1922, Jinnah faces political isolation as he devoted every spare moment to be the voice of moderation in a nation torn by Hindu-Muslim antipathy. This created tension between Rattan and Jinnah, which made her alcoholic, She finally left him with their daughter in September 1922, and they eventually separate in 1927. Ratti died of cancer on February 18, 1929. The death of Ratti had a huge impact on Jinnah's life. Allama Iqbal wrote to Jinnah to run to Muslim League and fight for Pakistan. Initially, Jinnah refuses but accepts after the betrayal of the Indian National Congress. He went to India in order to start political journey of Two nation theory. In 1940, the Muslim League annual conference is held from 22–24 March. Jinnah addresses thousands of Muslims and gave them the assurance of the birth of Pakistan.
Guide questions Jinnah as to who he loves the most apart from Ratti and Fatima. He then remembers his daughter who married a Parsi boy without his permission.
While addressing a Muslim league in 1947, rebel Indian Muslims who were not in the favor of separation attack the conference. However, the separation was carried out and Guide and Jinnah saw the massacre in migration done by Indian and Sikhs. Jinnah is sworn as the first Governor-General of Pakistan and announces Liaqat Ali Khan as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan.
After independence and the end of British rule, Pakistan stands as a new nation for Islam and Jinnah is given the title of Quaid-e-Azam of Pakistan. Jinnah waits for the first train carrying Muslims who left India for Pakistan, but when the train arrives, they are all found dead. Fatimah and Lady Edwina Mountbatten visit refugees and Iris learns the importance of Independence. Mountbatten betrays Jinnah as the Hindu Maharaja, Sir Hari Singh, stalls his decision on which nation to join. With the population in revolt in October 1947, aided by Pakistani irregulars, the Maharaja acceded to India; Indian troops were airlifted in. Jinnah objected to this action, and ordered that Pakistani troops move into Kashmir. This led to a war between India and Pakistan then and afterward from time to time on the Kashmir conflict.
