The legend of Maula Jatt
Ah, fuck.
Went to see Maula Jatt yesterday. Featured Fawad Khan which westerners may recognize from Ms. Marvel.
Anyway, the girl he was paired with didn’t really sparkle as she usually does with him (Mahira Khan).
BUT!
The villainess had crazy chemistry with him. She wanted him, cause aside from her own brother, Maula was the deadliest man around. unfortunately maula didn’t give a shit about her. (Humaima Malik)
But YAY for fanfiction!
In my semiconsciousness, I made a whole ass fixit story with sex of course.
Spoilers, if anyone wants the warning
.

So, when Daro goes to see him in the dungeon, he messes with her, and since now she doesn’t leave early, the assassins come into Maula’s dungeon.
Maula, the gentleman, rescues Daro from the assassins even with chains on. Not like Daro isn’t a badass herself with weapons, it’s just that there are too many.
Anyway, he saves her. She’s tending to him. He tells her he still has to kill her brother Noori
Somehow, maula and noori get to fight and maula of course wins.
Maula takes claim to the palace and the princess. But he also brings his lover from the village, Mukkho. Mukkho in her playful attitude ‘understands’ or whatever that he’s taken the enemy’s daughter. Daro is less open to sharing Maula.
In a scene, Maula tells them he married a Jattni and a Nattni, and their marriages can symbolize the unity he wants within the two clans.
Threesome?
In a scene, Daro is in her epic bathroom and a masked man comes in. She says no one would lift an eye towards her bathroom, and this guy dared to come in. They quip at each other and the man enters her pool and loses his dhoti and Daro is ready to defend herself but he’s stronger and then she screams for Maula and Maula turns her around and pins her to the pool, revealing himself.
He uses her own words, how no one would dare look at her bathroom, and adds something about her now especially being his. He notices that even if she hates him, she called for him.
Sex
Daro is walking somewhere and she gets ambushed by old Natts. The noise brings jatt soldiers but they don’t help her.
Mukkho comes and says what Maula would do and the Jatts help her. Daro doesn’t come for dinner and Mukkho playfully tells maula what happened. She advises him to send Daro to his mom. Maula cuts off the dude’s hand who sent the assassins and warns everyone to respect his wives equally.
Maula takes Daro to his village. No one likes her. He introduces her to his mom. Says: her brother killed your Mooda (her son), now Daro will give you a hundred Mooda if you ask.
Bebe (bay-bay) doesn’t like her and she expects her to know household chores but princess Daro obviously doesn’t know. She intentionally rips the clothes in the laundry and breaks whatever she’s cleaning.
Bebe complains to Maula when he comes home at night. Maula says to let Daro wear the ripped clothes. Daro is shocked. But then maula also tells his mom to teach her.
The next morning villagers come to bring new furniture And Daro’s wearing ripped clothes. Maula covers her with his shawl and they quip at each other. Daro makes food that night under Bebe’s instruction. Maula eats in but chokes on spices. He jokes that tonight he’ll have two glasses of water, but next time she should put two seeds less of spice.
Some time later, the villagers are celebrating the news of Mukkho expecting. Bebe’s overjoyed of course. Daro sulks at home and runs away in the evening.
At night, she gets surrounded by lionesses and Daro of course challenges them. She fights them and kills one but at the same time another lioness jumps her from behind. However, it lands on Maula’s ax.
Maula teases her, like not knowing why she’s sulking and whatnot while he’s tending to her. She yells at him, and Maula reminds her that she is Daro, and she can ask whatever she wants. He takes her either to the top of the Ferris wheel that used to be his and Mukkho’s spot, or he takes her to his wrestling ring to let her get it out and then they… wrestle.
Some time later, Maula and bebe are at the palace and Daro’s home. A lion enters the village, everyone’s screaming. Daro faces off against it at the town center. The lion lunges at her, one tooth in her shoulder and another in her waist, but she kills it. It lands on top of her and she’s pinned under it. The villagers come out and carry her home and tend to her.
Bebe’s there with her at some point, but she’s too feverish to know a timeline. The baba/holy dude/healer tells them it’ll be a miracle if she could have children. Bebe says not to tell her. Daro calls out “ma” in her sleep and bebe looks after her.
Some days later, Daro goes out to get groceries and no one takes money from her and a lady tells her no one will take money from the town savior. They cheer for her and ladies offer to teach her and all that.
One night, she calls for bebe to undo her bandages but it’s Maula. She welcomes him and they’re friendly talking and he tells her the town loves her more than they did him but that he’d rip out their tongues if he could. She asks why and he says only he has the right to say her name. She asks then what should the people call her and he says Maula di Daro (Maula’s Daro)
He’s about to kiss her but she steps aside, asking him about Mukkho. He asks her when did mukkho come between them. She stares at the sky and says Noori’s sister Daro used to say that Noori’s fear would turn women barren, and now those women have cursed Maula’s Daro.
Maula steps beside her and says no one would dare curse Maula’s Daro. She rejects him again and says he shouldn’t waste himself on her. He stands behind her and points to the stars, saying he’d fill her aangan(backyard) with stars if she let him. He cuts his name on her shoulder(knife play is there thing) as they have sex. She says people might hear them and he says they should.
Some days later, Daro wakes up and Bebe’s not home. She asks a lady where she is and the lady says bebe went to the palace since Mukkho had a son. Daro says then why isn’t there noise in the village and the lady says no one wants to hurt Daro. Daro scolds them and tells them to hold the biggest parade and that she would be at the forefront of it.
Sometime later, Maula and bebe bring the baby to the village and everyone is celebrating. Daro is happy to see his son and cuddles him and asks what his name is.
Maula says she hasn’t given him one yet. Daro is shocked that he’s asking her to name his and Mukkho’s son but he says she’s his older mom and they want her to name him.
Daro names the boy Shah Alam, meaning king of the world. Daro goes with them to the palace and congratulates Mukkho and the two ladies are happy and love the baby together. Jatt soldiers always follow Daro in case any Natt would jump her.
Some days later, Maula’s father’s castle is finally rebuilt and they have an inauguration. Maula and Mukkho gift it to Daro.
Daro doesn’t want to leave the village but everyone convinces her and she has a bridal farewell that she didn’t get when she got married.
Maula gives her a tour of the castle. He takes her to a room and he tells her that’s where he was conceived and teases her that maybe they’d be lucky here as well.
Sometime later, Daro is playing with her ladies when she rests on the fountain and faints. The ladies are happy and she’s carried to her room.
The healer comes and says of course it’s a miracle. He advices her to be careful and prescribes bedrest. Daro asks if he knows who she is; she’s never been locked in a room let alone stuck in bed.
Maula’s at the door and says it’s Maula’s orders (maula means god) and that Daro wouldn’t dare go against his will.
Mukkho and Shah Alam come to see her too and time goes on.
one night she goes into tense labor. Bebe’s there and Mukkho is there too. Maula’s in another room with Shah Alam. Daro has a fever and isnt looking too well. Daro asks Mukkho to adopt her kid if anything happens to her, and to not tell her kid about her if she died. Mukkho agrees to adopt her kid, but instead says that everyone will know about Daro and her kids.
Daro gives birth to a girl and Mukkho and bebe are happy but Daro is sad (her father tried to have her buried when she was born). Daro’s in pain again and faints
Someone runs to tell Maula about his daughter he’s overjoyed and celebrates with Shah Alam and asks about Daro. The lady doesn’t say anything and Maula asks again. The lady attempts to say something but Maula runs out to go see Daro.
Bebe greets him at the door and tells him he has a son as well but maula ignores her and goes to sit by Daro. He orders her to open her eyes but she doesn’t. Maula says he won’t look at his children until he sees her eyes.
Days later Daro opens her eyes and Maula is by her. He’s happy to see her awake and starts to tell her about her kids but Daro remembers having a daughter and she cries. Maula says it’s his daughter and that she’s his pride and joy and the star of his eye and tells her he hasn’t even seen them yet. She sends him to go get them.
Maula brings Mukkho and bebe who bring the babies. Bebe holds the son, and passes him to Daro. Daro says once her brother killed Bebe’s Mooda, but no one will touch her Mooda. She asks to take her daughter but Maula takes her from Mukkho and teases Daro that he wouldn’t let her harm his daughter. He names her Tara.
Years later, teens and children are playing in the castle’s backyard. Some are Daro’s some are Mukkho’s. Mukkho’s daughter comes crying to Daro that her siblings are bothering her. Daro hugs her and reminds her that she would sacrifice her own life for her, what can her siblings do. (Mukkho died giving birth to her.)
Maula’s watching everyone from the balcony and Daro goes to join him. She tells him he filled her aangan with stars. Maula kisses her head and says
What Maula says: happens.
Zoom out. The end.
