JL50 (2020) - full transcript

A plane is discovered to have recently crashed in West Bengal. However, what is so baffling about the incident is that plane originally went missing 35 years ago.

Pass..

This way.

Give it..

Pass! Pass!

Pass. This way.

Come on.

Shoot this way.

This way. This way.

Okay.

- "People will say something or other.."
- Amazing.

- "It's the job of people to say.."
- Very good, very good!



Wait. Please let me sing..

Unnecessary disturbing in between.

- Come on, sing.
- Yes.

- "Forget all those useless things.."
- Very good, very good! Amazing!

Done. Done.

Thank God!

No one has respect for an artist.

- Okay, it's time to change the singer.
- No, no..

- "Forget all those useless things.."
- Enough! Enough!

- Good night!
- Good night!

Good night!

"We're lost in these
colourful moments."

At least say, 'Good night!'

Good night!



And, happy birthday..

It's not my birthday, it's your wife's.

Oh, yes..

- "Happy birthday.."
- Don't you feel shame? Let's go now.

- Don't let him drive.
- No, no.. I'll drive.

No! No, I can drive. I can drive.

You can drive, but today I'll drive.
Please, allow me.

Thank you!

And thank you very much
for the surprise party.

It's not my idea but this idiot's,
but you are very welcome.

- And happy birthday again.
- Thank you so much.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Did you saw?
- Yes, I did! Let's go.

- Hey, wait.. my wife..
- Let's go.

'The whereabouts of missing
flight 'AO 26' are still unknown.'

'The Aviation Ministry..'

'..has assured the family members
of the passengers onboard..'

'..that the location of
'AO 26' will soon be found.'

'The whereabouts of missing
flight 'AO 26' are still unknown.'

'The Aviation Ministry has assured..'

"The tears on your lips."

"Makes me want to ask what's missing."

"Why the branches don't shed leaves?"

"Or why the lines of destiny.."

- "..can't be erased."
- Yes, tell me.

I am just leaving.

- I am leaving. Bye.
- "Can't be erased."

"Can't be erased."

"Can't be erased."

"Yes, it's me.."

"Just me.."

Is boss inside?

He is waiting for you.

Friday we have to meet Shriparna,
I hope you remember?

Yes, I remember.

If you don't come Maitri
will be upset, I'm telling you.

40 passengers,
and eight important delegates.

There's a lot of pressure.

It must have crashed somewhere.

What can we do?

Look!

We have information
that 125km from Bagdogra.

Some villagers have
reported a plane crash.

This is not the location
of the flight, this is off route.

This flight has been found
where it shouldn't be.

Has any other flight
been reported missing?

This is the only flight
missing Shantanu.

Maybe the plane was hijacked?

There are some very important
people on this flight.

Finding flight 'AO 26' there,
something's not right.

- You should leave today.
- Yes.

Give me the Home Ministry please.

Yes, sir.

Sir, the chopper will
be here any minute now.

We are trying our best.

Sir! Sir! Over.

- Hi!
- Hello, I'm Shantanu.

And this is my colleague Gaurongo.

- Hello!
- Hi!

- He's from CBI.
- Yes, of course.

I was told that you
were going to come here.

I hope you didn't have any
difficulty finding the place?

No..absolutely not.

So any progress?

This crash has taken place on top
of a hill and so the rescue is slow.

We have discovered 7 dead so far.

Any survivors?

Because of the impact
the cockpit separated..

..and stayed on the hill..

There are two survivors,
but they are in critical conditions.

One of them is a pilot.

And the rest of the plane
fell between the mountain..

..and is completely burnt.

There is no chance of survivors.

One of them is a pilot?

So you mean to say that the
other survivor is not the pilot?

Someone from the crew then?

Well from the clothes is seems
like a civilian, passenger. Maybe.

What was a passenger
doing in the cockpit?

Can we see the crash site?

Sure. Come with me,
I'll take you there.

Okay.

I am sorry, I forgot to
mention something important.

This is not the plane
that you are looking for.

What do you mean?

I mean, this plane is not 'AO 26'.

Please, come.

My work is just like my wife.

There is no excitement.

What did we come looking for?
And what did we find?

We should have a good
looking girl by our side..

..and our cases should
be like Hollywood.

If this flight is not 'AO 26',
what flight is this?

Bihu.

How's breakfast?

It's good.

So how long will you be like this?

Lots of things happen in life..

..but it doesn't stop.

Do you think,
we are happy looking at you like this.

Your dad's blood pressure
is high these days.

Mom, I am okay. Please.

I slept really late last night,
and I am tired, that's all.

Your dad have talked
with Mr. Mukherjee and his family.

They are coming with
his son for lunch on Sunday.

I am getting late.

It's time for my flight.

At least let me finish
what I am saying.

Mother, I have a flight on Sunday.

Time!

My grandfather used to tell me,
Time never stops.

Time keeps moving.

But after devoting
my life to Physics..

..I have realized he is wrong.

Actually time never moves.

Time is always present.

Time's still, time is now.

Sir, the principal has
called you to his office.

Das come in, meet them.

He is Mr. Shantanu, a CBI officer.

- I am sorry..
- And he is his colleague, Mr. Gaurongo.

Hi! Nice to meet you.

Pleasure meeting you.

- They wanted to ask you something.
- Of course.

We have gone to your house,
but found out you were here.

Yes, sometimes I come
here to give a lecture.

You went to my house. CBI?

Actually, I'm a little confused.

What possibly can I do for you?

Actually, we are here
regarding a plane crash..

..we want to talk to you about.

I think your mistaken.

I have only bought a flight
ticket once in my life..

..and that too a very long time ago.

But. Actually,
I have a phobia of flying.

The plane that we have found..

..took off from Kolkata 35 years ago
and then went missing.

The Plane went missing 35 years ago
and you just found it?

In India everything is slow.

This plane crashed only last week.

Now the question is, where
was this plane for the past 35 years?

I think you are at the wrong place.

I don't think I am of any help?

I have records..

..that show you have bought
a ticket for this flight..

..but you did not board it. Why?

I have a phobia,
remember I just told you?

Look I can understand that
you have lot's to find out.

But I don't think I can help you.

And now if you'll excuse me,
my students are waiting for me.

Yes of course.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Professor?

Can you tell me why your
were going to board this flight?

It's been 35 many years.

I don't remember anything.

One more thing.

Don't let anyone know
about this conversation.

Otherwise you could
be in a lot of trouble.

This is a matter of national security.
I hope you understand.

- Thank you!
- Thank you.

Have a nice day, Professor.

Not even one body has been
recovered in good condition.

They are all terribly burnt.

What is the condition of the survivors?

Both stable, but not conscious.

Can I see them?

Not yet!

I just want to see them.
I mean no trouble.

Due to the impact,
he is still in shock.

It will take time for him
to regain consciousness.

Though most of the
injuries are internal..

..but he's out of danger.

Please, don't touch him.

What are you doing?

I cannot allow this, please leave.

Can I see the other survivor?

As soon as the patient regains
consciousness I will call you myself.

- Okay? Excuse me, please.
- Of course.

ABA claimed the highjack 'AO 26'..

..and have asked for the release
of their leader, Partho Mojumdar..

..who is on death row.

- Must look at this.
- What is this?

This tattoo is the sign ABA.

'Azad Bangla Association, whose only
aim is to separate Bengal from INDIA.'

'We have just got the news that
ABA claimed the highjack 'AO 26'..'

'..and have asked for the release
of their leader, Partho Mojumdar.'

'For further information let's
go to our correspondent Rajesh.'

The question here is
about two planes, not one.

'AO 26' which has been hijacked.

And the other that crashed in the lake..

..and the government
is telling us nothing about.

Yes, Gaurongo.

Yes, I am coming, right now.

Hey, Shantanu!
This is our neighbour, Mr. Chatterjee.

- Hello!
- Yes.

- Shantanu!
- Hello!

Shriparna!

Okay, Shriparna!

Please sit.

I am sorry to interrupt your party.

No, sir.

Actually, I have come with
an old colleague for dinner..

..than I saw Gaurango..

..and thought I would chat for a bit.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice. Thank you.

Shantanu, tell me something.

Other than investigation what
else do you do? I mean any hobbies?

Not hobbies, talk about skills.

- What?
- Yes.

Like me, he can cook,
he do his own clothes.

In short your wife will be very happy.
Just like your's.

Come on, eat.

Your growing your beard?

No, just trying out a new look.

I am moving to Bombay.

Bombay, what are
you going to do there?

I applied for an advertising job.

They're giving me a good package.

I thought I should ask you as well.

What there's to ask?

It's been months since we spoke.

You know what, I think you should go.
It's good.

At least you'll enjoy what you do.

Just like you enjoy what you do.
I can't.

You've always been looking for
something. That's your only interest.

Not interest, but habit.

What are you looking for Shantanu?

I think we should go inside,
they must be waiting for us.

Bihu, how are you feeling?

Better.

Bihu?

How do you know my name?

Your badge shows it.

I guess JL 50 you were flying it?

Yes.

How did this plane crash?

We took everyday as normal at 3pm.

And for ten minutes,
everything was normal.

Then suddenly..

..a man came in the cockpit..

..and stabbed Abhijeet.

Abhijeet!

My co-pilot.

Then a second person came inside.

And the first one took Abhijeet outside.

Until now I had understood..

..that our plane's been hijacked.

He asked me to change
the direction of the flight..

..then moments later
we came across bad weather..

..because of Heavy turbulence
the plane went out of control..

..and I think we crashed.

I have four questions for you.

Where did this plane take off from?

And where were you taking it?

What's your real name and
how are you connected with ABA?

Are you mad?

My name is Bihu Ghosh.

The pilot for JL 50
who took off from Calcutta.

The last time this flight took
off from Calcutta was 35 years ago.

What is the date today?

I said what is the date today?

3rd August, 2019.

What are you lying to me?

I know this is 1984.

Hey, what is going on?

What are you doing, Shantanu?

I told you she is still in shock.

Please leave. Come on.

When can I go home?

When you answer all of my questions.

Sir, a plane crash was
reported near Neora valley..

..and as per our sources
it was a passenger plane.

Is there something the
government is trying to hide?

Look I have already clarified
that it was a cargo plane.

So why hasn't the press been
allowed to visit the crash site?

Sir ABA has given on 10 days
time for the release of their leader..

..otherwise they will
kill all the passengers.

Please ask the home ministry.
I am not the right person.

Sir otherwise they will
kill all the passengers.

- Sir!
- Sir! Please!

The government is going
to have to release him.

They don't have any other option.

You tell me where you
have reached Shantanu?

What we have found from
the flight is 35 years old..

..all the dead bodies are all burnt..

..but definitely not the
same people from 35 years ago.

What about the survivors?

Did you get something
from the pilot woman?

She has not fully recovered yet,
we cannot interrogate her.

But she must have said something?

Sir, she says she is the JL 50 pilot..

..who flew it 35
years ago from Kolkata.

- Really?
- Yes.

Don't have you the
original pilot's photo?

I have requested a
photograph from aviation..

..but it will take time.

But I don't think that
the photograph will help us.

She is saying her name is Bihu Ghosh.

Her name matches
the originally pilot..

..but if she's the original pilot
she should be around 60 years old..

..and clearly she is no older
than 25 or 30. She is lying sir.

Is this some kind of setup?

Look, I think there
is a big game behind this.

Anyway, do what you need to,
but we need more details.

- Please!
- Yes, sir.

Here are some of the things that
we have recovered in good condition.

These are some ID's
which 35 years old.

It's of those people who sat
on the original flight 35 years ago.

The radio is of a make 35 years ago.

As per the reports, the food
is of the same day as the crash.

- Hotel Blu Star!
- Yes.

This hotel only use to
supply the food 35 years ago.

So we got a lead from this hotel.

This hotel shut down 12 years ago!

Where were these food boxes made?

I will find out.

Shantanu,
have you thought about this..

..over the entire flight
not one trace of a cell phone.

Maybe the woman isn't lying?

This flight has been completely
recreated after a lot of research.

Everything is identical,
but not original, including the pilot.

This is definitely a setup,
we just have to find out why.

But everything the woman has told us
matches the pilot's original profile.

Profiles can be stolen.
This woman is putting on an act.

4:30pm.

No, it will not get late.

You just come on time and
everything else will be okay.

Okay, okay..

What happened?

What's that?

What's what?

That in your hand?

Are you crazy? It's a mobile.

What are you looking at?

Those cars?

You've never seen cars?

I haven't seen cars like this.

Time for your medicine.

Tea!

- Yes?
- Hello.

Hello.

My name is Gaurango.

He's my colleague from CBI.

We are from CBI,
we want to ask you some questions.

Baapi's dad!
What did you do? CBI is here!

Why did you have to act smart,
saying CBI?

It just came out.

- Yes? Tell me.
- Hello.

This is Mr. Gosh's house right?

No! My name is Bose.

Mr. Gosh used to live here,
who had a daughter.. a pilot?

For the last 10 years
we have been living here.

Before that, I don't know.

Is there anyone around
who could tell us more?

Nearby?

Across the street Dr. Saab lives..

..and his family has been
here for a really long time.

Maybe he can tell you something?

His name?

Name? Dr. Vikram..

Chakroborty.

Vikram Chakroborty.

Okay, thank you.

Let's go.

Bye.

After that plane incident Mr. Gosh
and his wife left the house..

..and we never heard anything since..

..not even if they
are still alive or not..

Do try the biscuits,
we make it at home.

Thank you.

Dr, are there any relatives of
Mr. Ghosh that you can tell me about?

Its been so many years..

..I can barely remember
their faces properly.

Bihu must have been your age,
can you tell us anything about her?

She was very open minded..

..and had a baby as well
but we heard it was still born.

Baby?

According to our records
she wasn't married!

Exactly, that's what I just said,
she was very open minded.

She was not married.

Just shut up.

You'd say anything.

She was in a relationship.

The guy was from the army.

They were going to get married.

But he was killed in an
encounter with naxalites, sad.

Doctor, how was she to look at?

What?

Height, complexion, etc?

Get the old album from the other room.

- Which one?
- The old one. Go

My sister and Bihu used to
dance together during a festival.

I think I have a photo.

What happened? Did you find it?

Bring it.

Is this the one?

Yes, yes.

Here take a look.

This is my sister and this is Bihu.

You're lucky.

I've only one picture of her.

Which we found now.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Doctor, Bihu's child?
Was it a boy or a girl?

Mr. Gosh didn't tell
anyone about that.

Thank you.

Could that girl be telling the truth?

I don't think you heard,
Bihu had given birth to a baby.

But the baby was born still.

Did anyone see that?

You mean the Doctor is lying to us?

I don't know.

It is possible the baby did not die..

..and it was spread that
it did because she wasn't married.

Look Goaurongo,
say the baby was born still.

But it is possible two
people can look quite similar.

Don't believe me do you?

Come to my house tomorrow,
my milk man looks exactly like you.

Okay, tell me what next?

Let's go to the hospital
and check their status.

Fine.

Doctor..

What happened?

I can't breathe.

Wait a minute. Nurse.

Take him to the doctor immediately.

Come on.

We'll take you to the doctor.

Yes, to the doctor.

Nurse, if someone is very ill
or injured where do you keep them?

2nd floor, ICU ward!
Where else, why do you ask?

If I get really sick at night..

You don't have to worry.

Wear this mask.

Lift your head slightly.

Now get some sleep. Goodnight.

Yeah, I am trying to figure my life up.

Nevertheless, good to have you back.

Like you said.

Amit.

- Hey..get out.
- How can you come inside?

What are you doing?

- Come outside.
- Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

- Tell me what to do.
- Don't do anything stupid.

Rewind.

Don't move. Don't move.

- Tell me what to do.
- Don't do anything stupid.

What are you doing?

Hey girl, do as he says.

Okay. Please.

Look at this.

We've to head in this direction.
I want you to change the direction.

- Do it now.
- Okay, okay.

Sir for a long time
there's no activity..

..then at the end
there's something here.

'We are seconds away.'

Is this the last recording?

Yes, this is the last.

What time is noted for this recording?

Sir..28th August, 1984. 4:30pm.

How is this possible? Are
you sure this is the last recording.?

Sir, I am very sure.

Is it possible that the
blackbox has been tampered with?

No, not possible, sir.

But If the FDR circuit
breaker has been pulled..

..because of power cut,
the recording can be stopped.

So is it possible that
the FDR circuit was pulled..

..and nothing recorded after that?

In the case of this
flight it is possible..

..because it is an old model plane..

..and the circuit can
be pulled disabling recording.

So if we imagine that the
circuit breaker's been pulled out..

..then maybe the
recorder was turned off.

Thank you. Please give
me a copy of this recording.

Sure.

- And can you give us a minute.
- Sure, sir.

So this is certain that 35
years ago this flight was highjacked..

..and the FDR power
was cut disabling recording.

We didn't find anything concrete
other than a name from the recording.

Chandra was definitely
involved in the highjacking.

I don't know about the people
who sat on this flight 35 years ago..

..but the highjackers might be alive.

Chandra might give us a lead.

Identify the passengers
by the name of Chandra.

I will go to the central jail.

Okay.

Where am I?

Yes tell me.

- Yeah, Gaurango.
- Shantanu.

In the list I only found
one man with the name Chandra.

Really?

Okay, I'll call you later.

Sir.

Let's go.

Partho Mojumdar!

I'm Shantanu, from CBI..

How are you?

Don't waste your time..

..just tell me what you are here for.

What can you tell me about JL 50?

Why do you think I am
going to tell you anything?

I know that you're behind
the disappearance of JL 50.

You know it right.

What are you going to do?

After 3 days you have to release me..

..then I will come back
for my revenge for each hit.

Tomorrow our forces are going
to surprise ambush the plane..

..and you will be hanged until death.

You are lying.

You know that you are lying.

That plane has important people on it.

Yes. Your going to have to release me.

Where did you hide
this plane for 35 years?

What is the deal with all this drama?

I told you..

..your wasting your time.

Mr. Shantanu,
can you please step out for a moment.

I cannot allow you more than this.

I just need 10 more minutes. I had to
do a lot to get permission for this.

Look, he is not less than any VIP..

..and if something happens to him
it will come down on all of us.

I had orders for only 5 minutes.

Please.

Nothing can be done now.

It's done now.

Hold his hand.

Doctor.

We should celebrate this moment.

We need to celebrate this moment.

- Hold him!
- This calls for a celebration..

I thought you would
take me to a special place.

This place is special.

Why do you come here Shantanu?

I come here to find answers whenever
there is a question in my heart.

Did you get your answer then?

When is your flight?

You know what?

Some questions in
life have no answers.

My flight is early, I should go.

Bye.

Yes. Okay.

Okay, sir.

There was a phone
call from the hospital..

..and the other survivor
has regained consciousness..

..but we can talk to him
for 10 days because he is unstable.

There was no one by the name
of Chandra on the list.

Of course.

We will receive the DNA reports
from the bodies in a few days.

That's not going to help..

..who are we going to
match the DNA reports with..

..we don't even know
whose bodies these are.

The people who sat
on the flight years ago.

These are not the same people.
It's not possible.

Body count exactly matches
this 35 year old list.

Men women children,
everyone is the same.

Even to agree, it is impossible..

..to rule out the
potential of these people..

..being the original
people from 35 years ago.

Lets say, even if there
is a chance to find their DNA..

..we will have to the
homes of these people..

..what are we going
to say to their families..

..your missing loved ones have landed?

This is a bloody top
govt secret investigation.

Sorry, I have to take this.

Hello! Yes, tell me.

Yes. Indrani..

Shriparna I Banerjee.

I for Indrani.. yes.

Whose phone call was that,
I hope everything is okay?

The divorce Lawyer called.

Some confusion about the middle name.

- Come on.
- What happened?

What are you searching for?

Look at this B.C. Mitra.

Whoever this kerchief belongs
to was on the flight, correct.

Yes.

Mitra.

Biswajit Mitra.

B for Biswajit and Mitra same.

Then what is C?

- Chandra!
- Yes. Middle name.

You mean Hollywood twist?

Shantanu, Biswajit Mitra
is Biswajit Chandra Mitra.

Chandra Mitra, was an integral part..

..of the Kolkata
of Physics science centre.

He was an important man.

A man of a communist thought process..

..who took part in a lot
of protests against the government.

Yes?

- Greetings.
- Greetings.

My name is Dibakar.

I am here from the Astronomical
part of the science centre.

Yes, tell me?

Actually, next week we are presenting
an exhibit on Indian science history..

..and would like to display
some work of Prof Mitra.

Can I get something written
to make part of the exhibit..

Look I only have a few files,
other than..

If you don't mind,
can I see those files?

Are all these books yours?

No, no. These are
all my father's books.

I hate reading.

- Professor Mitra was your..
- He was my father.

Here you go.

Thank God, I'm not a scientist.

So, what do you do?

Actually, quite the opposite.

I am an artist.

A scientist is also an artist.

Yes, you're right.

After all we're also creators.

Yes.

You take a look at these
files while I prepare tea.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

The tea is ready in 2 minutes.

Actually, some other
time as I have to leave.

I will take this and
drop it back next week?

Okay then,
when you come back then we will sit.

Sure. Thank you.

Your welcome.

That's my dad!

When was this taken?

Right before he left.

This is his last photo.

Eat some food.

If you don't eat how will you be okay.

Only two of you survived.

You're lucky.

Who is the other one?

Help me..

Help me..

Help me..

Get back!

Get back!

- Relax.
- Relax?

I don't have time to relax.

Don't do this. Let her go.

I can't let her go.

- Look, we can talk.
- Is it?

There's nothing to talk. Move away.

Just stay there.

Who are you?

Now that's a nice question.

Keep guessing. Darling..

Wait.

Wardboy.

Where's the security? Security.

They were here a minute ago.

Follow that ambulance.

Come on. Hurry up.

Be quick. Come on.

Take left. He is taking left.

Hurry up.

Fast!

Keep the change.

Move.

Yes, tell me.

The police is on high alert.

He will captive soon.

Okay, listen. I have talked to
Dr. Bishwa in Kolkata Science Centre.

He tells so much stories.

But you will get all the
information about Project A.

To understand project A
we will have to go back to 263 BC.

Emperor Ashoka, after seeing many
dead bodies after the Kalinga war.

He realized that science, politics..

..and technology was
being misused in war.

That is why he picked..

..the 9 most knowledgeable
people from the world of..

..politics, warfare and science
and created a secret society.

Their knowledge was divided
into 9 different books.

And it was decided that these books..

..would always remain a
secret so that this knowledge..

..doesn't get into the wrong hands.

Of the 9 books the first book..

..was about propaganda
and phycological warfare.

The most dangerous..

How to influence the thought
process of people to rule them.

Today as well..

..through media and press this
method is used to rule over people.

The second book..

..was about how you can
kill a man just by touching him.

They say some pages of this book
were leaked into the hands of people..

..and this is how
martial arts was born.

The 3rd book,
was about all sorts of communications.

Communications with people from within
earth and beyond this earth as well.

Yes, in fact in one of the books there
were instructions on how to make a UFO.

You can name them
as UFO or Flying Saucer.

The kinds that are being spotted
numerous times around the world today.

The nine books spoke
about nine different topics.

And one of them was about time travel.

- Time travel?
- Yes.

You're right. Time travel.

During excavations the British
found some pages of this book..

..and brought together a group of
scientists to further research on them.

This research drug
was named Project Ashoka.

In fact, in short Project A.

But nothing really
came out of this project..

..and many years ago it was shut down.

is time travel possible?

Only in books.

To travel time, man needs
to move at the speed of light.

And the amount of energy needed to do
that is not available on this planet.

1 trillion electrowatts,
can you imagine?

This is just a waste of time.

Professor Biswajit Mitra,
how was he connected to Project A?

He used to work here for sure.
But never shared a lot with anyone.

However, Professor Das
can tell you more about him.

- You mean professor Shubrato Das?
- Yes.

Professor of physics?

Not physics, quantum physics,
the study of space time.

Das assisted Prof Mitra
for a few years..

..and was also
a close confidant to him.

Professor!

You lied to me Professor Das.

Yes.

If I spoke truth,
you wouldn't believe it.

How was Professor Mitra
connected with Project A?

Professor Mitra's father Dr. Debochandra
Mitra was a part of Project A.

After Indian independence
the government stopped the funding..

..and this group got dissolved.

But Dr. Mitra continued
his research independently.

After him, his son BC Mitra..

..continued his research
and finally broke the code.

- Broke the code?
- Yes.

You mean he made a time machine?

No, he found it.

Professor,
I don't have time for this nonsense.

I know 35 years ago
he hijacked this flight.

I also know that this hijacking
is being staged like a time travel.

And they got this
idea from this Project A.

I just want to know..

..that why is it
being staged like this?

Shantanu, it's not being staged.

This is time travel.

I can explain.

Come! Come, please sit. Shantanu, sit.

Many scientists including
Einstein have proven..

..that time and space
are the same thing.

Space time is like
this piece of paper.

But it is not empty.

Look, the earth is
not hanging in mid air.

But is set on this time space.

Lets take for instance that
this paper is a piece of time space.

Then this is past and that is future.

Because of earth's
rotation and revolution..

..there are folds that have
been created around this time space.

Like this.

Now to get from this past
to this future we have two ways.

One from here,
like we all travel through time daily.

And the other one..
Allow me. One minute.

Like this.

Look, the space time
around our earth..

..has many folds like this.

And many holes like
this exist between them.

That can take us to the future
or past in very little time.

We call these wormholes.

To put it differently,
these are doorways..

..through which we
can travel through time.

The pages that the British
found during excavation..

..had some incomplete
formulas on them.

If they are solved,
we would find some readings.

With the help of these
readings and a topo sheet..

..the exact location of these
worm holes can be determined.

Project A was looking for these doors.

And Mitra solved the formula..

..and broke the code of Time travel.

- Fascinating.
- Yes.

This is not the answer
to my question professor.

I'm coming to that.

Look, Professor Mitra
was a genius person.

And also very lucky.

He inherited everything from his father.

Everything.

Money, fame, and also Project A.

Project A was the
only goal in his life.

He used to be stuck
in his formulas all day.

Nothing else mattered to him,
including his family.

He was a crazy man.

They say Mitra had a brain
of gold and heart of stone.

He worked day and night
to complete this formula.

He struggled a lot but only
got disappointment on his hands.

That day when I went
to meet professor Mitra..

..he was going crazy with excitement.

He had broken the code.

- And was convinced he could
time travel now. - 'I did it.'

'Oh, my God! I did it.'

'Das, I did it. I broke the code.'

'Yes, I broke the code.'

'It's time for celebration.
Don't stand here like morons.'

'Das, I can do anything now.'

'I can do anything now.'

'Thank you very much.'

'Oh, my darling..'

'I am conqueror. A great conqueror.'

'Look at this. Das, look at this.'

But he needed a plane
for the experiment.

Prof Mitra and myself were supposed
to fly to Madras for a conference.

And he decided to use that
very plane for his experiment.

He wanted to make big impact.

For Prof Mitra this was not a problem.

Apart from being communist minded,
he was also a member of ABA.

Within ABA,
aside from Doctors and scientists..

..there were also people
like Partho Mojumdar..

..and he is the one who
provided men to Professor Mitra..

..for the highjacking of JL 50.

Because I knew that this flight..

..was going to be highjacked
I got really scared..

..and therefore didn't
board the flight.

So you knew that this plane
was going to be missing for 35 years.

No! No! No!

According to his calculations..

..the plane was supposed
to return in 35 hours.

He misread his own calculations..

..and it returned
after 35 years instead.

Professor,
your story is really interesting..

..but it is just a story.

I know it is very
difficult to believe.

At first I didn't believe it either.

In fact for last 35 years I have been
thinking that this experiment was a lie.

But then when you came
to meet me I was shocked.

I visited the crash
site as well to confirm..

..that you are not lying to me.

I still did not believe it.

So I followed you to the hospital.

And Shantanu when I saw Prof Mitra
lying on that bed with my own eyes..

..I was flabbergasted and in shock.

Oh, my God!

He looked exactly the
same as he was 35 years ago.

If this is not time
travel then what is it?

So you mean that the person
on the hospital bed is Prof Mitra?

Yes. Absolutely!

Professor Das, without permission
from me you cannot leave this city.

- Got it?
- Yes.

Shantanu!

Professor Mitra
came here last night to meet me..

..after running away
from the hospital.

'Sir!'

'I have finally realized the
dream that I saw so many years ago.'

'I can't tell you
how happy I am today.'

'I feel like the most
powerful man on earth.'

'Sir, a lot of innocent people
lost their lives on that plane.'

'Hey, I could have lost mine as well.'

'Das, I could have lost mine as well.'

'Sacrifices for the greater good.'

'But that pilot woman has to die
as she knows the way to the wormhole.'

'Sir, you can't just kill someone.'

'I can do anything now, Das.'

'I will come to see you again..'

'..but I have to go
meet Partho Mojumdar first.'

- 'Bye.
- But sir.'

'Partho Mojumdar is in jail.'

'He will be released in 3 days.'

'I have read the newspaper, Das.'

Shantanu, it is extremely
important that Prof Mitra is caught.

In the next 48 hours Partho
Mojumdar will be released..

..and if the two of them meet..

..you can't even imagine
what will happen.

You only have 48 hours..

..to catch Prof Mitra
and that is impossible.

It's impossible.

Impossible.

But there is one way out..

..we can go to 1984 ourselves..

..and stop them both..

..and if we do that..

..then JL50 would never crash.

AO26 would never get highjacked.

ABA would be finished
even before it starts.

And this knowledge would be
safe from getting in the wrong hands.

You don't believe me.

Yes.

You don't believe me, Shanatanu.

Look, if something like
this was to happen in America..

..it would be a phenomena.

There would be researches
on possibility theories.

But If it happens in India
it is just a story isn't it?

You know Shantanu,
what the problem with our country is?

In our country..

..we just never try to get beyond..

..Hindu, Muslim, Temple,
Mosque, Politics and blind faith.

If we see something in the sky..

..we just fold our hands
in front of it and call it God.

But we never try to ask
questions like why what and how.

Never.

Shantanu, why don't you believe it?

Prof Mitra looks exactly
the same as he did 35 years ago.

If that this in not time travel,
then what is it?

Okay.

Can you prove that
this in not time travel?

Can you prove that
this is time travel?

Yes, I can.

I need 1 hour from your 48 hours.

Please, Shantanu.

He's on the line with us.

'Rajeev,
tell me what is the situation?'

'Barkha, there is no official
statement from the home minister.'

'But it for sure
that in next 48 years..'

'..the government will
have to free Partho Mojumdar.'

Special helpline services
for the family of the passengers.

Gaurongo..

We need the readings of
that exact location from you..

..that Prof Mitra told
you during the highjack.

Why?

Bihu!

Bihu, it's very important
for us to fly to that location.

But why?

I.. I promise I will you.
But we don't have time now, right?

On one condition.

I will fly.

That's not possible.

Then I am sorry.

I don't remember.

Please Shantanu.
it's Just a matter of 1 hour.

Your work will be also
done and we will create history!

I mean correct it.

Please..

Shantanu!

Everything is ready. Okay!

Bring it back properly.

Because if not then even after..

..selling my house
I won't be able to pay for it.

Sir!

I think she will be
okay to fly this plane.

- Yes.
- Where is Das?

He is waiting at the plane.

- Shall we?
- Okay.

And listen, do one thing for sure.

If you reach there,
then disappear my mother-in-law.

Shut up.

Do you miss your child?

Are you asking me out of concern..

..or do you still not believe
that I'm the real Bihu Ghosh?

Even if I answer that,
is your answer going to change?

My baby was born dead.

Do you remember exactly what time..

..your plane reached
the point Prof Mitra told you?

It was 4:30 pm.

Remember, whatever we have to do,
we have to do before 4:30 pm.

If JL 50 is highjacked..

..nothing will change in the future.

And if the high jacking is stopped,
then what?

Then exactly at 4:30 pm we
will all be where we are supposed to.

If JL 50 was never highjacked
it would have never crashed.

Then why would we even come here.

And if you still don't get it, you will.

In one minute,
we will be reaching the point.

Please hold tight.

This doesn't look good.

Because of you I almost lost my life.
Idiot!

There's no reception
in the phone Shantanu.

We made it.

Your one hour is up Das.

Now move.

Shantanu..no phone reception,
try to understand.

Professor,
we have landed outside of Kolkata..

..and no reception is normal here.

Now do as I say.

"No one stop my heart's flight.."

"..there goes my heart."

"I want to live again."

"The Prime Minister of the country
Mrs. Indira Gandhi..

..made a proposal for the
country's diplomatic relationships.

'For that can't we make an agreement..'

'..of friendship,
of help, and of peace.'

'So that was our Prime Minister..'

'..Shrimati Indira Gandhi
addressing the parliament.'

'Now let's start the Rock N Roll
hour on Calcutta's favourite station.'

'This one is for all
the rebels out there..enjoy.'

Yes. We made it.

And we are not dead.

"Come on..amidst the questions.."

"..we'll find.."

"..all the signs."

Come on..amidst the starts.."

"..we'll find.."

"..the same old dawn."

"Now I am here and breathing."

"Now I am here and screaming."

"Now I am here and breathing."

"Now I am here and breathing."

"Now I am here and screaming."

"Now I am here and breathing."

"It's a game of the heart and mind
you'll never get your hands on it again."

"Is Time is like sand
or will it stop like water."

"It's a game of the heart and mind
you'll never get your hands on it again."

"Is Time is like sand
or will it stop like water."

Brother..

Can I borrow that paper for a minute?

19th August 1984.

Shantanu, we don't have a lot of time.

JL 50 will fly tomorrow.

Thank you.

Where to?

- Chowrangee.
- No no, Ballygunge.

40 cents.

What's this?

I don't have any change.

Get down of the bus.

- But why?
- Get down.

Stop here. Get down now.

Get down now.

Giving me fake money?

Let's go.

Shantanu,
the was no 10 rupee coin in 1984.

I know that.

I want to go home, Chowrangee.

If you want to go somewhere
else then just go.

- Bihu, you can't go home.
- Why?

Because your already at home.

What do you mean?

Look, JL 50 has not flown yet.

And until it does
you are already at home.

If people see two of
you that could be a problem.

Everything will be ruined. Please.

So I can never go home?

No. Don't worry.

Tomorrow at 4:30 pm you will be home.

Believe me.

Until then where do we go?

How will we go? We have no money.

Let's go sell this.

- Yes.
- Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Excuse me, sir. Date, please..

What's the date today?

19th August 1984.

- Sir it's 19th August 1984.
- Yes.

Thank you, sir.

You check in I have some work to do.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

Excuse me?

Someone drop a baby here today?

Not yet!

Think about it again.

15 days he has been with me.

Do you think it is
easy for me to do this?

She is going to be home today..

..and I cannot keep him any longer.

Excuse me, who are you?

Whose child it is?

- Yes, tell me?
- Move. Let me go.

Quickly take the car out. Hurry up.

Just outside this
city is an old warehouse.

Very old warehouse.

Before going to airport Professor
Mitra will be meeting Partho Mojumdar.

From there he will
leave for the airport..

..along with the hijackers.

We will stop them right
there before they leave.

How do you know he will
be meeting Partho there?

Instructions.

You see, I had instructions.

That after college, me at 22 years..

..will go there to pick up his car.

We will need a car?

Yes.

I can arrange the car.

How?

For that I'll have to go home.

It's risky. You can't go home.

A lot of people have lost
their lives once because of me.

I can't let that happen again.
It's my duty.

Bihu? Where are you going?

Mom!

And what are you wearing?

Trisha's car broke down.
I am lending her mine.

Okay.

Mom!

I will be back very soon.

Mom!

Who was it, mom?

Let's go. Start the car. Hurry up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yes.

Hey look, Professor Mitra.

He owns this car.

- So shall we go?
- Okay.

You stay right here.

How did you know that
your baby was born dead?

Did you see him?

Hey Shantanu, what shall we do?

Yes..

- These people will go with you.
- Okay.

And take care of everything.

Thank you, Partho.

Thank you, very much.

Okay.

You just come back successful
because if you are we will win.

Absolutely.

There's no chance of failure.

Future is ours.
We'll create history together.

I don't think so.

Who are you people?

Sir!

It's me, Das.

What?

Get out.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Get out.

Who are they?

You go.

Get me out of here.

Kill them.

Partho!

Chandra sir.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Hey!

Rascal!

Partho!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Rascal!

The formula is definitely inside this.
But I don't know the code.

I have a solution.

Just step back a little.

What are you doing Shantanu?

I don't think anyone should have these.

You can't do this?

What are you doing?

Look Shantanu, I strived
my entire life for this formula.

You cannot let you burn it.
Give me the formula.

Don't be stupid Professor.

Look Shantanu,
I didn't come here to help you.

I came for the formula.

Give me the formula.

What's the use even if
I was to give this to you?

At 4:30 pm all of this is going
to be over and you won't have any time.

Neither JL50 will be hijacked
and nor we will come here.

Is it?

You're very smart Shantunu,
but you're not a scientist.

I am going to come here at 5 pm today.

Let me explain myself.
Me at 22 years old will come here..

..to pick Professor Mitra's car

These papers will be right here,
and I will have the formula.

- Give me the gun, Professor.
- Shantanu, stop. I will fire.

I don't believe that you'll shoot me.

If I can shoot Professor Mitra
twice then why can't I kill you?

I don't get it.

Shantanu, I lied to you.

It true that Mitra came to meet me,
but he didn't left.

I tortured him for the formula,
but he died.

Yes. Dead!

Poor Genius..

Then I was thinking
about getting this formula.

But the next you came to me on your own.

I apologize, Shantanu.

But I have only used you to come here.

No..

Don't get me wrong.

It's not that,
that I can't crack this code.

I can crack the code.

If I had money..

..and like Mitra I too
had gone to London for studies.

So you see..

..I don't have any other way.

This is the only way.

So give me those papers.

- Give mt gun professor.
- Give me those papers, or I'll shoot..

- Give me the gun Professor.
- Shantanu..

'At 4:30 pm we will all
be where we are supposed to.'

'Did you get your answer then?'

'What are you finding, Shantanu?'

'Shantanu,
your mom is here to take you.'

'Shantanu,
your mom is here to take you.'

Where is my child?

Sorry, dear.

Doctors couldn't save the baby.

Shantanu! Shantanu!

Wake up. We are about to land.

What happened?

Nothing.

'Flight AO 26 will land
in the next 5 minutes..'

'..at Kolkata's Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose airport.'

'Please fasten your seat belts.
Thank you.'

Yes, I have just landed.

Yes. Yes,
I have taken your mother's medicine.

Yes. Okay.

Sorry. Yes, I am coming.

- I will reach home.
- Okay.

Shantanu, why do you look so upset?

It's such a special day for you.

Please smile.

- Let's go?
- Yes.

Let's go.

Shantanu.

Your mom is here to take you.

Shantanu, your mom is here to take you.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Do you remember,
I came to take you from here today?

I was five years old yet I remember.

- Like it was yesterday.
- Thank you.

What were you doing there by the bench?

I was just thinking that
if grandma never told you about me..

..and you had never come to get me,
then what would it be like?

- Son, what's the point of thinking..
- Thank you.

..about something that never happened?

Take it.

- Thank you.
- Take. For you.

Thank you.

Okay.

- Who's left?
- Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Welcome.

This one. Hi!

- Thank you.
- Welcome.

"Hope to find a home in a snap!"
