Projapoti Biskut (2017) - full transcript

May I ask you something?

Yes.

Do you love me?

Why are you asking?

One can feel true love.

Can’t you understand?

Can you?

What?

Understand me?

I say, it's a King

I say, it's a Queen



I rear my hood

Oh! That's jolly good

I'm saying cheese

All in the show-biz

Let them fly
let them flock

Hickory dock
dickory dock

The duo'll take a trip

And guess who?

A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff

A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff

A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff



A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff

Here is a hero

Here is a zero

I'm tightening the noose

I'm heart-break blues

I'm walking straight

I'm pleading to return

They've become the pair

Love is in the air

Lots of light and lots of smile

And guess who?

A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff

A fistful of sunshine

And palmier puff

I’m your child
take me in your lap …

… Be my parents and
get me admitted in school.

Hey!

Lord Kartik is a glutton …

… Visits once with his mother …

… And visits once alone.

Get lost!

Look at the idol Kartik.

O dear … listen!

Hey, wake up now!

We are in a fix.

The maid Chhobi hasn't come?

Kartik has come downstairs.

Which Kartik? Chhobi’s brother?

No no … not Chhobi’s …

… Ganesh’s brother.

Lord Kartik … the peacock rider.

Has walked up to our door
all by himself.

Kartik? Oh my God!

No momma, please!

No, the season is changing now.

Go see if your pool-car
is here or not.

Has it arrived?

What happened?

- Peacockman!
- Again Pokemon?

No momma, Peacockman.

- Standing in front of our door.
- What?

Babusona!

Babusona!

The younger daughter-in-law
hasn’t conceived.

It’ll be blasphemous if
they don’t take him in.

Get going now.
What is this? Circus?

Dad!

- Tea.
- Oh.

- Is it without sugar?
- Yes.

So what do we do now?

Are we bringing him in or not?

Hey… you also say something.

You must've some opinion.

Yes, we can bring him in …

… Again, we can also
not bring him in.

- So are we doing the rituals or…?
- Impossible!

Sen family doesn’t worship
Kartik idol and all.

Mom. I was saying …

- Now that the Idol is here…
- Idol?

Disgusting!

Remember there is only
one Idol in this house.

Rabindranath Tagore.

Let there be peace
from all troubles!

Momma, will the peacockman
stay with us?

Cover your legs and sit.
Listen to what the priest is saying.

I mean, you’ve been coming to
this house since childhood.

You’ve seen all of it …
you know my mother.

I wasn’t expecting this from you.

On my return from Bangalore,
this is your gift to me?

You’re involved with
progressive culture …

… And yet you’re putting
Kartik in front of houses?

No no… what do you
mean it was a joke?

How can everything be a joke?

And Shaon insisted on
doing the rituals.

You know my mother.

Imagine my situation!

Ma is pretty upset.

Actually, our family’s culture
is a little different.

A communist environment …

- Phone.
- Yes.

Can you take a leave tomorrow?

Leave? Why'll I take a leave?

But again … I might.

Tomorrow we shall
bid bye to Kartik.

When the Lord has
come by himself …

He'd have been angry
if we didn’t take him in.

Understand Mr. Environment?

Hail Murugan!

Hail Murugan!

Listen … he is calling us muggers!

Not muggers … he is
saying Murugan.

Like the Tamils call him Murugan …

- … We call him Kartik.
- Oh.

Brother, please take the
second Hoogly bridge.

What? Aren’t we
going to immerse it?

You know nothing!

Is Kartik immersed in water?

Oh … so where do
you immerse him?

Phuchka!

When did you get back from school?

Does this belong to that peacock
which was at our place?

Now that you have undressed
the national bird …

… Won’t the police catch you?

Nope … because this was a gift.

May I keep this with me, Churmur?

Yes … only if you
give me a return gift.

What?

Anondi!

May I go?

No… say, "I’ll come back".

Hang on … I've kept the file aside.

Somewhere here.

Here!

Wait … check if everything is okay.

- Sir, may I go now?
- Wait a bit.

It's okay, sir.

Here… some mouth freshener?

No sir, thanks.

If you don’t give your
salary at home …

… Then we’ll give it to your wife.

This is my final decision.

Sorry, sir.

Why do you even bring your
family affairs to office?

Take a seat.

Can’t you deal with it at home?

You'll have affairs. And what'll
your wife have? Thin air?

Age?

- 46 sir.
- Shush!

Why would I want to
know your age?

What’s her age …

… The one you are having
your affairs with?

May be 25 … or 26, sir.

25 … 26?

You look like a dumb ass …

Never thought you’d
be this talented.

You went to Digha
sea resort and all?

If I get one more complain …

… I'll surely stop your payment.

It’ll not happen again, sir.

What do you mean?

What won't happen again?

- You’ve blessed her?
- What?

Blessings … blessings.
Have you given her?

How many times?

Come on now … how many times?

Sir, 5 or 6 times.

Don’t do it again.
Get lost now.

Wait a second!

You didn't tell the truth.
Reduced the numbers, right?

Isn't it?

What a loser!

- Niyogi da, shall we go?
- Yes, let’s go.

I heard you had a
Kartik Puja at home.

Don’t even get me started…

… My friends are such pranksters.

No no… Pujas are good things.

- Where’s the ‘prasad’(religious offering)?
- ‘Prasad’?

What is the ‘prasad’ for Kartik Puja?

I’m not asking for regular
fruits and stuff.

I’m asking for a good news, understand?

What are you saying!

Do you have any
blessing case on the sly?

- Be honest.
- No.

Streams of happiness flows in this world …
(Tagore song)

Do you know why the word
‘bed’ is so important?

Why?

Because ‘B’ leads to ‘C’.

C?

What do you think C is for?

- C is for oil cloth.
- Oil cloth?

What do the Shastras (holy scriptures) say?

Shastra says that …

… Reproduction is the most
important responsibility.

- Is it so?
- Yes.

Which Shastra?

Kama Shastra… Vatsyayan.

He has written it all down.

A to Z of the bed.

Ideal position to have a son …

… Ideal position for a
daughter. All of it.

So, if you want 'putra'(son) …

Go for Kamasutra.

Kidding!

Don’t laugh it off, dude.
Got to take initiative.

It’s been 3 years.

2 years and 5 months.

Whatever.

Delay furthermore,
You'll have bed sore

Please keep your belongings properly.

Otherwise it’s insulting.

For me as well as the others.

Hey!

Why are you still
bothered about all this?

I’ve clarified this earlier.

It’s all over.

Past is past.

Why are you still … ?

If you want I can
burn all these.

Do you love me?

Of course … I mean,
that’s why we are…

Not we …

… Do you love me?

What is to be proven?

If you really do then why
hasn’t anything happened yet?

This room … us living together …
this house …

… Is it all meaningless?

I want something else.

Don’t be upset.

Tell me what you want.

Phuchka.

How much for this book
on domestic rituals?

Rs.100… you can give Rs. 80.

And Lenin’s biography?

Earlier it was Rs. 200.

Now in post-Left era the
rate has gone down to Rs. 80.

What do you want?

Domestic Rituals or … maybe Lenin.

Excuse me!

- How much is that one?
- That's Rs. 600.

Rs. 600!

Can it be less?

Earthquake or tsunami …

… The price is fixed.

Right price. Right service.

Kakai, statue!

Hey, Babusona!

Come here… sit down.

Yay! Kakai out!

Have some tea.

What would you like?
Poha or chowmein?

I can have poha.

Or, I can have chowmein too.

Which one do you want?

Put that packet down
and relax.

What treasure are you carrying?

Chowmein.

Chowmein?

I mean, I’ll have chowmein.

Surely you’ve got
some gifts for Shaon.

So you can’t put it down, right?

No no… not really …

… Just bought a few books.

Are those Tintin comics for me?

No sweety… I couldn’t get it this time.

But I’ll surely get them next day.

Not just Tintin…

Buro Angla… Khirer Putul…

… You have to read all these
children's classics as well.

Don’t become like others darling.

The television is ruining
everyone’s taste.

The entire generation is going to the dogs.

They haven’t heard of
Gita Ghatak … imagine!

True!

Then at least know about Geeta Dutt.
Doesn’t even know her either.

Just TV soaps.

True!

Only books can save all of us.

If people don’t read …

… How'll they know
about Bengali culture?

True!

So what have you bought?

Kamal Majumder or Sandipan?

I bought a book … a book.

Show me the book.

What is this?
Housewive's Handbook?

Do you plan to become
a housewife or what?

Huh… edited by Sir Richard Burton!

Hey… could you read this?

Isn’t the English a little weird?

But… this is… this is…

Das… nicht… nin… this is German!

German?

Do we go to Maxmueller Institute
to read Kamasutra?

What a fraud! … I had asked for…

But… should I get it changed tomorrow?

No need… Calcuttans are like this.

Disgusting!

Hey there …you bearded one!

You there!

Hey!

Wait!

Are you deaf or what?

Hang on!

Idiot! That's why one
shouldn’t help anybody.

Here take your phone… moron!

Hi! Tell me.

Bonny, it’s a disaster! Ujaan has
met with an accident.

Accident? Where ?

On the highway. While returning
from Bidisha’s place.

Oh lord! What will happen now?
Is he alive?

He is alive but sinking… in the ICU…

I see.

Situation is dicey.

Please come over Bonny.

Ok…Ok… I’ll be there… don’t worry.

This is a nice one.

Hi Shaon… looking very pretty.

Thank you Sunayana aunty.

Shaon! Don’t call me all
that aunt and stuff.

Sorry Sunayana aunty.
Sorry… so sorry.

What should I call you then?

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. A friend has met
with an accident, so…

Is it serious?

Should I ask the chauffeur to drop you?

Not that serious.
it’s nearby. I’ll manage.

Shaon, you didn’t invite me to
that Kartik Puja ceremony.

How I wish I could take
part in the rituals.

Would you have been
able to sit on the floor?

You know I can’t sit
like that darling.

When did you get to know?

Wee hours of the morning.

Disgusting! How can anyone
inform that late?

- How many days in ICU?
- One month.

A month! Ujaan will be
in bed for a month?

Yes. He has some
film shooting.

Happily back in the soap
once the shooting is over.

This is very bad.

I worked so hard to fix the plot.

They inserted an accident
out of nowhere?

Leave it … it’s channel’s headache.
Let them deal with it.

I'll break the hero's leg one day.

Rating would nose-dive.

Don’t get mad with Ujaan, Pari.

All that labour pain …
to create to him.

Dear Mommy!

Wait. You wrote 3 plots
in September, right?

So, Rs. 3000 for 3 plots.

And 12 scenes … right?

Rs. 6500.

Listen listen… now that Ujaan is in bed…

… Should we increase Rai’s role?

Not at all… please…
that woman is too much drama.

Think of something else.

- What's happening?
- What?

Hey!

Yes.

Before disaster strikes …

… Give me one of
your stale sweets.

Have you ever had stale sweets?

Don’t yap… make it quick!

And … before disaster strikes …

… Give me that acidic jalebi.

And jalebi too!

Will one be enough?

Take it easy!

What disaster's going to strike?

Earthquake?

That I'm having sweets...

… If someone sees …

… Then heart-quake!…

- Are you ok?
- Yes… I'm fine.

Two teas.

- Pari!
- Yes?

- Did you feel the earthquake?
- Nope!

You have no sense
in your body.

Did you see the launch
of the new TV series?

How could I?

- Nobody watches TV soaps at in-laws.
- So what do they watch?

All that has culture.

Real culture vultures!

Will you take me there one day?

Am I crazy?
You’re completely abnormal.

Remember what you did
in front of my mother?

- Listen, I'm grown up now.
- Huh!

I also have a boyfriend now.

Again a boyfriend?

Any problem this time,
I'll not take responsibility.

Where did you get him?

From the office of the
palmist Kalikinkar.

Met him at an astrologer’s office?

A brilliant future for you both!

So you visited a palmist?

Me and palmistry?
Have you lost it?

They secretly sell hash
over there… get it?

Joint entrance… we call it so.

There he had a drag…
I had one.

And we got dragged together.

He calls me Maddy.

What all nonsense!

What do you call him?

Madan.

Oh no!

Wait a minute!

Shaon, she'll sleep over here.

We have drama rehearsals
for Christmas.

Drama? This late?

Jetset corporates. No
time during the day.

So all rehearsals at midnight.

Listen…

Remember you mentioned a doctor?

Yes. You want to go this Friday?

Or, we can go on Saturday.

What has happened to you Churmur?

Common cold.

Shaon Sen!

So… your that… I mean… regular?

Yes yes… regu…

A particular time in a
month, I mean …

… Days count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

Yes yes… 1…2… 3…

Good.

Then …

… In a relaxed way.

Yes… yes… relaxed.

Then … low stress and oil?

Oil?

You mean … enhancer?

No… no… no…

Low oil diet… measured.

Diet … yes.

Good!

Please, don't be so shy!

No no… I am not shy.

I know shyness is
banned since long.

My son, tell me honestly…

… Have I given birth to you or
you've given birth to me?

- O mother!
- How'll I make you understand…

… What pain it is to be a mother?

9 months of pregnancy pain son!

I tore myself in half to
bring you in this world.

Mother!

And you are leaving me
just for another woman?

Mother!

You didn’t care about a
mother’s love my son!

So well written dialogues!

She isn’t just any
woman, mother…

- Papa, that's my …
- What?

What do you mean 'my'?

No… I mean my friend's writing.

Oh, really? Very nice!

In times of difficulties she
has given her gold to me…

My son!

Mother, a day will come…

… With a brilliant sunrise …

… The world will become a place…

A new person will come, mother…

Oh, my! What're you doing here?

Watching a very important
episode here…

They’re catching Russian bears
and shaving off the fur.

And they are making blazers
and gloves with that fur.

Further global problem!

Nothing about our house interests
our younger daughter-in-law…

But I am glad that her habit of
watching soaps has influenced you.

No, no . No influence.

Quiet!

But your younger daughter-in-law
has a heart of gold.

No complication…

Some sophistication
would've helped.

Just because Babusona
was so smitten by her photograph.

Such an uncultured family!

Keep it low… there are
people around.

Asha Bhosle is her favourite
Rabindra Sangeet singer!

It's my fault … I should've
guessed it then.

This is not right Asha…

Now, don't side with her.
Keep quiet!

Otherwise I’ll shave off your head!

Hello! Bonny?

Listen to what your father did.

Such tantrums he was
throwing after returning from office.

Hold on a sec darling.

He lost his pajamas apparently.

You know how your father talks?

Yes Ma.

And then he got some
catfish from the market.

Have to cook it for him right then.

Your father loves it.
You know that, right?

Then we found out that …

… He wore the trousers over his
pajama and went to office.

Did you hear me?

Yes Ma…

To add to the chaos your sis
has brought home two bunnies.

They are simply eating and pooping.

You know how dirty
bunnies can be.

Yes Ma.

Hey… why are you saying
'yes yes' continuously?

Why did you call?

Just a routine call.

Bonny … are you okay my love?

Yes Ma.

Are you upset?

No… nothing… just like that.

Heart… heart is the main issue.

Heart is stonger than hormone.

Tiff with wife?

What do I say Niyogi da?

I don’t understand…
and she is the quiet type.

- Hardly speaks.
- This surely is depression.

The deep pit in our psyche …

… Is the root of all problems.

- Don’t worry, I’ll refer you to Pakrashi.
- Pakrashi?

Psychologist… very well known.

He can literally peep into your soul.

Donation please!

Give something in the
name of your grandson.

Hey smarty… where are
you going on a car?

Won’t you give something to your aunt?

Hey what are you doing here loser?

Give your aunt some money.

Make it fast.

May you have a son… bless you.

Thank you again… ok.

That’s it… all arranged.

Don’t think I am a middleman,
because I sat in the middle.

Plese come over here
and take a seat.

Open it up.

What?

Open your heart… open up.

Whatever is troubling you…

… Give that all to me.

Actually… we were trying to…

Do you know what is more
crucial than being a Ma?

What?

Trauma!

Some secret from your childhood.

Some secret incident …

… Something …

… Which has ruined your childhood.

For example…

… In the attic …

… One day, suddenly …

… Your younger maternal uncle
grabs you from behind.

What? Never!

May not be in reality,
but he could have.

Remember … the main
factor in life is …

… Stress!

And … trauma!

As if they are brother … sister!

Hey, why are you
constantly tickling me?

Isn’t it irritating?

Ummm… sorry.

Excuse me…

… Listening to so many
patients since morning…

… What a stressful profession!

You rather sit here!

Don’t be so stressed out.

Go to a shrink yourself.

There was this man at your place…

… A little bulky…

… Hairless …

… But a Bachchan like voice.

Got it?

Yes. My paternal aunt’s
husband.

Right! How is he?

Good.

How fortunate!

There was another man…

… Looked a little like a ripe mango…

… Like an old Calcutta Baboo...

… Was doddering with a stick.

Yes… he is our grandfather
from Jamshedpur.

- Grandfather!
- Yes.

How is he now?

A year back … died.

Passed away! How fortunate!

Tell me… does your mother still
sing Tagore songs?

Yes.

Does she sing on
makeshift stage?

- What?
- Open air… open air.

Didn’t I ask you
not to bother him?

Blabbering him to boredom!

Brought sweets again dear?

How are you? Take this…

Are you ok?

How will I stay ok dear?

Just day before yesterday
I was walking up the stairs…

… And suddenly I sprained
my right knee.

That day he got some cat fish.

I made some spicy curry with that.

Such stomach upset the next day.

His hand was not even drying.

To top it all, I can’t
even sleep properly.

Your father-in-law
snores so loudly…

… You'll think there’s a bike
race going on a mile away.

I’ve never heard
anything like that!

Quiet!

If one can’t sleep at night…

Is it possible to keep well?

Eat it up!

Don’t bore him
with your blabber.

Driving everyone mad!
What a motormouth!

Doesn't help around the house.

Go ahead… eat.

- May I tell you something?
- Please.

After a certain time of marriage…

… Whatever you say,
will irritate your wife.

Eat it up.

My daughter …

… Looks exactly like her mother.

How fortunate!

Looks and words… just the same!
How very fortunate!

Look at them sis.

What have you done
to your hair Bonny!

Ouch!

Now that you have
done Kartik Puja…

… When do we get
to see the child?

Don’t worry so much.

I've been keeping a
fast every month now.

Everything will be ok.

I have kept whole boiled
vegetables for you.

Make sure you take
them along.

Yes.

No… We're having dinner
at a friend's place.

Don't wait for us.
Have your dinner.

I’ll hang up now.

Start eating.

Try the Jumbo prawn.
Fresh from the fishery.

Got it at half the market price!

What is he saying!

Have the Carp. Very good.

Rs. 400 for a kilo!

It hurts!

This Knife fish. Got it
fresh at the market.

Rs. 900 for a kilo!

- Papa!
- What?

- You’re so disgusting!
- Why?

Let him eat peacefully.

Hey… I am so sorry.
Hope you didn’t mind dear!

No no… why would I mind?

See… what a gem of a boy!
He didn't mind.

How fortunate!
Please eat.

Hello…

We're jacked!

- What?
- Hiya is pregnant!

You're looking for Jack?

Mom… that must be for me.

Looking for some Jack or Mack.

God! You have no sense of time.

Sorry sorry… How would I know?

Who calls this early
in the morning?

Whatever … Hiya is pregnant.

How's that possible?

They didn’t even spend
a night together.

Just some rituals
made her pregnant?

Disgusting!

Her mom-in-law doesn't allow
them to stay together.

Forget it. Think of a solution.

Please give a child, Bonny!

But people will not
accept that Pari.

We don’t know what
will they accept or not.

But do something…
say something… please!

What could I? At such
a short notice!

But do something … please!

You can do one thing.

Kill off the mother-in-law.

Then, by some supernatural means,
she'll be in Hiya's womb.

This is why I love you so much.

You’re a pregnancy specialist.

I swear … these people are crazy!

That's not the way to have
a baby, hard to stomach!

It is all about the stomach, you see…

You’re such an adamant fellow!

I warned you so many times…

… Do not bless her… do not bless her.

You still went ahead?

Sorry Sir…

What sorry?

Out of nowhere… there’s an ill… ill…

- Illegitimate.
- Yes … I know.

Can you imagine what
soup you’re in?

Won’t happen again sir.

What won’t happen again?
You’re ridiculous!

Won’t happen again!

Do you know the conse… conse…

- Consequence.
- Right!

What he said …

… Do you know where
that has reached?

It’s a mistake… sorry sir…
actually slip of tongue…

Tongue? What?

I’m not at fault, sir.

Mr Goody Two-shoes! Huh!

This is why the saying goes…

… All the faults
are for the ba***

Niyogi da…

I don’t think that’s really a saying.

Yes… I know.

- Have a little more chicken.
- No mom.

- Then have a little more rice.
- I'm pretty full.

Why are you forcing her?

Eat more
Strength more.

She's like my daughter.
Can't I force her?

Shaon… Anondi needs a brother now.

Brother? When is he coming?

He is packing now…

Will arrive in a few days.

Dad you aren’t saying anything.

Why beg your brother
for a brother?

When you can arrange
for, one by yourself.

Dad… you’re an
incorrigible species.

How can you talk so much rubbish!

Flying kites

Light drizzle

Cloud nine

Lunar granny

Sing along this song

Funny fella Cinderella

Moonlit night and sleepy head

Take care and share

Rag dolls and virgin spring

This is a shy song

Peek-a-boo golden tong

This is a shy song

The magic wand tricks

Start playing hide n seek

In the bosom

Who belongs to whom

Sleepy dreams

Keeps awake

In the bosom

Who belongs to whom

Lazy hammocks, short and long

This is a shy song

Polycystic ovary.

Now, this is the main hurdle
that you have to cross …

… In order to achieve
your pregnancy.

Don't get so depressed.

50% of women face
this problem.

Modern day lifestyle
is gifting us this.

Regular treatment can prevent this.

Ok… do we need… to… I mean IVF…

Don’t have to think of IVF now.

I’ll give a few medicines.
Start taking them.

I hope this will work.

An oestrogen injection
has to be taken.

This has to be taken at home.

And a routine semen test.

- For me?
- Naturally!

Nothing to worry about.

This is just to make sure that there's
no abnormality in your sperm count.

We’ll make it? Won't we?

Yes… yes… we might… or…

There’s no ' if ' here, Antor.

We'll have to!

When we have
come this far…

I’m sure we’ll
do the rest.

Nobody will be able to stop us.

Ouch...

Hey!

Give a rotten sweet
before disaster strikes.

Disaster again?

Did you find out the
nature of disaster?

No… not yet.
But it'll strike.

- Really?
- Difficult times!

Seen those kids out there?

No shame at all.

Really? What are they upto?

Oh my god! Another earthquake!

Bengalis have one test I tell you…

… Protest!

Dengue… earthquake…
march for everything.

Please sit.

What test for you?

Semen…

Cement!

Are you planning to
renovate your life?

Don’t worry.

- Do you know what are those?
- What?

Semen specimen.

Go inside.

Pour water on Lord Shiva
at night and then eat.

No. Have veg food.
Hold on a second.

Brother, do you need a magazine?

- No… no!
- Ok.

Listen… pray to the lord …

… To conceive all ladies…

Why would it be deceive?

Conceive… conceive…
don’t you understand?

- Why are you pulling?
- Come with me.

- What is it Phuchka?
- Come.

Come.

Phuchka tell me.

There’s a man downstairs.

- Man?
- Yes.

Who are you looking for?

Shaon Sen.

Madam is supposed to
take an injection from today.

Injection? What's wrong
with you Churmur?

Come in please.

Is there anybody else
at home other than the child?

Why? Here…

The injection's not supposed
to be given on the arm…

… But on the hip.

Hip? What do you mean?

It’s a big one right?
So … below the waist.

No one else at home?

No, there’s nobody at home.
You wait a minute.

Open the door please...
open the door.

Anondi!

- Yes…
- Come here.

See… a duckling.

- Llike it?
- Yes.

Let me see… oh my…
it looks nice.

Should one take injection
for any wounds?

That's right.

But you didn’t.

You give me one.

Not on your arm… on hip.

What nonsense is that!

I know… on the bum.

Where from are you
learning all this?

What's wrong with you?

Do you know that the last
three plots have failed?

Will it work like this?

Sorry.

Sorry doesn’t always help.
What happened?

Some issue at home?

Your dumb husband
said something?

Mother-in-law?

- No.
- Ok. I’ll fix your mood today.

I’ll introduce you to someone.
He's here.

Madan.

Madan?

Yeah… my boyfriend.
Don’t you remember?

Madan… the friendly one.

Where?

Right back there.

The man with the scarf?

Nope…

The tall and lanky one?

Nope…

Pari… is it that foreigner?

But you said Madan…

Mathew Higgins. Lovingly
I call him Madan.

Pari is he really a foreigner? Or vitiligo?

What? Ridiculous!
Have you lost it?

I’m there if it’s vitiligo.
But not, if he's foreigner.

I'm poor in English.

What? Bonny!

Idiot!

I can't read your mind

Neither you can mine

The distance grows like

A bottomless pit

I can't read your mind

Neither you can mine

The distance grows like

A bottomless pit

The brown buds are

Looking for sunshine

The brown buds are

Looking for sunshine

Nuzzles in the window pane.

- Are you tense?
- If something happens.

Don't worry! Nothing'll happen.

Why she can't beat it, Churmur?

I don't know.

Where is she heading to?

I don't know, dearie.

How have the Bengalis
bowed down to all?

Only looking at the
mobile phones.

Do you know that you'll be
transferred to Bhilai?

Bhilai?

You know the whole situation.

A transfer right now
would hamper…

Have faith on me brother.

Have faith on yourself.

Have faith on this street food.

Have faith in the higher power!

Have faith!

So sir … any sign of
disaster yet?

It’ll strike when
the time is right.

Give a couple of those
burnt fried sweet.

Just stop for a sec.

The time has come...

It’s high time… turn around.

Disaster!

Fried sweet! Want one?

What? Speak louder.
Can’t hear you.

What're you saying?
Can’t hear a word.

Bonny… I’m pregnant!

This stupid signal!

Can’t hear you…

Yeah… tell me… Hello?

I’m pregnant!

Who is pregnant?

Bonny… me… I’m pregnant!

Which character now?

Listen… this is nonsense!
I can’t carry on.

Bonny me… I’m pregnant…

What are you saying?

What?

I’m pregnant.

Are you joking?

Seriously… who'd joke
about this?

I swear on you.

Where is Madan?

No idea.

He has gone to some fair.
Sonepur or Pushkar.

Can’t get him on the phone.

What will happen now?

How do I know?
What will I do?

There is just one way.

- Like last time…
- What do you mean?

If you’re truly my friend…

… You’ll come with me right?

That's not done, Pari! I can’t.

Sharmishtha Dey!
Come along.

As a friend, please
listen to me just once.

Will you give me the baby?

I’ll bring him up
very carefully.

He’ll be very happy.

Have you gone mad?

What is madness? Tell me…

Aborting or keeping alive?

Let’s get away from here, Pari.

Don’t do this. It’s a sin.

- Antor?
- He’ll accept it.

We’ll say we've adopted.
Nobody'll get to know.

What are you saying?
Have you lost it?

- Antor…
- Don't act in haste.

Hello Antor, are you in office?

Can you get out at once?

Parijat Mukherjee!

Can you come here?

We are in a crisis!

Adoption?

Have you thought about
what you’re doing?

Yes Dad.

Nobody has ever adopted
in this family before.

And after this, if you
have your own child?

Will you be able to
treat them equally?

Yes, we will.

How much experience
do you have about life?

How long have you
even been married?

We've never really pressurized
you for anything.

Dad… this is our wish.

Wish! You wish to bring
an unknown child…

Mom… do you have
the Tagore poem collection?

Oh… sorry… sorry.

It’s your life… your decision.

We are your parents.

Can't leave you in lurch.

Do whatever you seem fit.

I had warned you!

Not to take that Kartik idol
inside the house.

I don’t think Mom-Dad want this.

Do you want it?

Yes… I want it… again…

You don’t want it… right?

No… did I say that?

Not in so many words.

Since the decision was mine,
you kind of agreed.

Isn’t so?

Shaon… you’re my wife.

Whenever… whatever that
you’ve wished for…

I’ve always stood by it…

Out of pressure, maybe.

Do you really love me this much?

If yes, then …

… Why did you connect
with your Ex on Facebook?

Me… that…

Shaon… that…

I need someone in this house.

Who is going to be mine alone.

What will you name him
if it’s a boy?

Boy? Disgusting!

It’ll be a girl.

Pure and beautiful like you?

She’ll look like your family members.

I’ll name her ‘Aloklata’.

I don't know you dear

Neither you do know me

The kittens are playing
In the lawn in winter light

I don't know you dear

Neither you do know me

The kittens are playing
In the lawn in winter light

Her two eyes, like two emeralds

Her two eyes, like two emeralds

Wells up in tear

Didn’t I just tell you that
I don’t need loans.

Madan is back.
He wants to marry me.

We’ll be settling in Malaysia.

Couldn't keep my promise.

Thought of meeting you
and telling you all this, but …

… I don't have the
courage to face you.

Take care. Bye.

Hello… Antor…

I don't call you Dear

You don't call me back

Waterfall is glistening like silver

I don't call you Dear

You don't call me back

Waterfall is glistening like silver

Beyond any metaphor

The bank of water

Beyond any metaphor

The bank of water

Caresses with its finger
As if combing your hair

See, I have decorated it.

Are you leaving, Churmur?

Take this.

Should I go?

No. Say, 'I’ll come back'.

What happened?

Will you let me stay here
a couple of days Ma?

Come inside.

Yes, quite serious.
I’ll call you back.

Will let you know.
I’ll call.

I am totally clueless...

Anondi said that she has
seen her leave with bags.

Call your in-laws and check.

If she isn't there,
they'll get tensed up.

Doesn’t she have friends?

Friend… even Parijat’s
number is unavailable.

Wait… I’ll call your in-laws
and try and figure out.

But, if that creates a problem…

What is left of a problem?

How fortunate! So when
are you coming?

She has been sleeping
ever since she came.

She is sleeping like a log,
as if she had night duty.

What? You couldn’t
connect the call last night?

How fortunate!

No, sorry. That’s not
how things work, Babusona.

Without sugar.

You bring her back today.

Even I can come along,
if necessary.

Should I serve your breakfast?

She wants to be left
alone for a while.

Wow! Left alone! How nice!

Why did she get married at all?

Ah! Asha!

Please!

You don’t interrupt.

It has reached this point
because I kept mum.

Let me speak today.

Look here… see how the
fishes have grown!

Hey… look here.

If this were my wife…

…I would've dragged
her back home.

Leaving without notice!

What nuisance!

This is all because
of your timid nature.

If she were my wife
I'd thrash…

But, Niyogi da!

Shaon isn’t your wife.

She’s my wife.

Then pamper her.

Pamper her whims.

Never heard of such
a situation!

You better look into my transfer.

Are you serious?

You’ll leave the ground?

I understand.

We’ll talk about this tomorrow.

See you.

Hey, Antor!

Your phone.

All of us who look distressed

Guarding with life

But failing nonetheless

Love eludes us all.

Her shape is of a ray of light

Mostly she stays alone all night

No one knows the reasons right

But loves eludes us all.

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

We live amidst paints and brushes

And bags of dreams

We live amidst paints and brushes

And bags of dreams

We hope to die in an instant

Only if she’s seen

All of us who took the blame

We’re playing but a losing game

Every move results the same

And love eludes us all.

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

Cameras and facades everyday

Masquerading as faces in a way

Cameras and facades everyday

Masquerading as faces in a way

Shivering like a droplet on a leaf

You make me wait
for a word to keep

All of us who look distressed

Guarding with life

But failing nonetheless

Love eludes us all.

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

Bless you, little heart!

Bless you!

She wants to stay back
a few more days.

She's a very docile girl.

Let her stay… right?

She can't lead a family life
if she doesn't want to.

Even marriage has some discipline.

No ma’am… it isn’t like that.

Our daughter is very
disciplined since her childhood.

A bit crazy one can say.

By mad I mean very talented.

She sings Asha Bhosle songs so well.

That one… 'Let me go, don’t call back'

'Your eyes say so much' …

Tears come to eyes
listening her songs.

Have the sweets.

You better talk to her.

But I really don’t think
it’ll work.

If a relationship dries up…

What’s the point watering it?

You tell me?

Water…

I’m thirsty indeed.

You could’ve called once.

I did… couldn’t get through.

Let bygones be bygones.

Come back Shaon.

The crisis is mine alone.

Let me deal with it by myself.

You really won’t come back?

Then tell me what
do you want.

Honestly?

Will you take me
out for beer once?

Will you?

For beer?

Disgusting!

And me?

Same to you!

Better to be alone than
in bad company.

Now the question is…

… How long have
they been separated?

Around 3 months.

Let it be for 3 months more.

After that we can
send a legal notice.

Have some snacks.

I can’t bring myself to eat, brother.

I can’t look at my son.

After his break-up…

… I arranged for this marriage.

Now the question is…

- … Is there any glue?
- Glue?

Glue in their relationship.

If there is… then all will be fine.

A relationship is like this snack.

Once broken … gone!

I warned you not to hang around
with those scoundrels.

With those scoundrels?

I didn’t mom… believe me.

- Now you’re lying…
- Leave me Ma.

Then how dare he sends
these filthy messages?

Tell me! Speak out!

I don’t know.

If he sends me messages
what can I do?

You dare lie to me again!

- I’ll kill you today!
- Leave her Ma… leave her!

Ask your talented sister…

… What all she’s doing secretly.

No studying… nothing.

Leave her!
Don’t talk like that…

Of course I can!

You can’t hit a grown up girl.

Don’t you dare interfere
in all this.

You’re a guest!
Stay, eat and then leave!

Don't forget! This is my family!

Understand?

Stop bothering about your sister
and mind your own business.

That rude mother-in-law of yours…

… Has given us a mouthful,
because of you.

Do you hear me?

With whom you've
chopped off your hair…

… Whom are you going
around with…

Have we asked?
I will kill you!

Is it good?

Yuck! Disgusting!

Have a sip.

Isn’t it disgusting?

No…

Will you have more?

Of course, yes!

You’ll have it even
if you don't like it?

Exactly!

Why're you so worried
about rent?

Is it for you?

Yeah.

I’ll borrow a little from you…

… Later I’ll return it
by writing scripts.

Won’t you be scared,
staying alone?

What’s there to be scared of?

When you were in Bangalore…

… I used to stay here alone.
I'm used to it.

But I've grown a bad
habit of staying together.

All bad habits are …

… Disgusting! Change it.

And you take this.

What have you got?

Have a look.

17th August is here again.

May we stay together
on that day?

We may…

… If you take me on a trip.

Where?

A place from where we
can see a huge ship.

Can you?

Bonny!

Whom do you hang
around these days?

You come back so late!

Couldn't care less … I guess!

May I touch your feet Ma?

What nonsense is this?

I want to touch both your feet.

Bonny!

I just wish to lie at your feet.

After all you are my birth giver!

My birth giver… motherland… Ma!

You reek of alcohol.

I’ll not tolerate all this,
I warn you!

You’ve cut your hair
like a man.

I’ll tell our son-in-law everything.

The smell is very fishy… right Ma?

What happened?

Daddy… you are our Father, right?

And Ma thinks I am fishy.

Being a girl she's returning
home drunk.

Why can’t I drink?
Because I am a girl?

For a couple of beers,
I have to get my sex changed?

How will that help you?

She is surely in very
bad company.

If she suddenly elopes,
how'll we face the relatives?

Elope!

How fortunate!

Sadananda! Take out the car…

… I have to go to the recording.

- Tata!
- Hang on!

What tiffin did you take,
poha pulao or noodles?

Nothing today…

… Street snacks only!

Diamond Harbour!

I’ll open the windows.

To the loo.

You first?

Hmm…

Go ahead…

Beer?

One more?

I’ll have it?

Cheers!

Have it… have it.

Cheers!

May I say something?

Yes.

Come back with me Shaon.

Where?

To your home.

Your home is my home…

I don’t have a home Antor.

Where should I go?

It is your room as well.

I was really addicted to
cigarettes back in college.

Every morning I’d have
a smoke in the toilet.

After marriage I did
smoke once secretly.

Then I became a wife and
had to quit smoking.

I was born during the monsoon …

… To an ordinary family.

So my parents came up
with an ordinary name.

Sraboni.

May be it’s not as classy
as Shaon…

… But … that was my name, Antor.

After marriage, even that changed.

Shaon Sen.

The name was so stylish!

But you know… being
a married woman…

… I couldn’t continue
wearing jeans.

But, I do like wearing short tops.

I like watching TV soaps …

… Listening to hindi songs.

I even like to worship
and perform rituals.

I am like this.

May be I am the
jealous type…

… The drama queen…

… The spoilt brat… but I am like this.

The girl who lived in your
Bhawanipur house…

That girl wasn’t me.

She was the decent, graceful,
made-up daughter-in-law.

I really wanted the baby.

But you know …

… A child wouldn't have
been the solution.

I know that.

I’m not as nice as you, Antor.

I’m just like what I am.

You’re much decent.

And I’m… disgusting!

But you know I’m very
happy with myself.

I want a room like this for myself.

Where I can be …

Open the door!

I’ll check!

Arrest them!

Sir!

Sit quietly!

Everyone claims to be
married when caught.

Have you ever heard of this …

… That a man plays hanky panky
with one's wife in a shady hotel?

Sir!

Ok… now go there for bail.

Sir…

Go… what are you waiting for?

What a fix! But we’re married.

Married? Huh! Can you see the
parade of married couples?

Sir, please believe me.
He's my husband.

But to believe you,
I need some signs.

No signs of a married
lady on you.

How can I believe you?

Nobody wears them anymore.

Really?

Then get your marriage certificate.

Where'll we get the
marriage certificate here?

Bring it from wherever it is.

Sir…

Hey… stop that or else I’ll
get a stick up your ar**!

Rascal!

Shut up!

Bring it! Fast!

Next!

Hey… is this your first time?

Hello… Dadabhai… are you busy?

We are in a bit of a trouble.

Can you come down once?

Diamond Harbour.

Are you sure you don't
need lift any farther?

You carry on.

Ok.

- Happy Anniversary, Shaon!
- Thanks.

- Bye.
- Happy Anniversary!

Let’s go.

I’ve been transferred to Bhilai.

Leaving day after tomorrow.

Can I meet you once
before I leave?

Keep it with you.

You’ll misplace it again.

Thanks.

Why are you leaving?

Just like that.

I don’t like Kolkata anymore.

Did you know this
would happen?

Yeah.

Why didn’t you tell me?

Just like that.

Will you be able to
manage all by yourself?

Yeah… I’m sure I’ll
manage something.

Was thinking of employing
a part time maid.

Oh!

So what'll she do?

The usual household chores.

And me?

Before leaving, won't
you give me anything?

Shaon!

What'll you give me?

Will you go?

Will you really go
away with me?

First, tell me what'll
you give me.

Palmier puff… a huge ship and…

And?

Aloklata.

Hold me tightly Antor, I'm scared.

May I say something?

Yes.

Do you love me?

Nope… you’re disgusting!

And you?

I love the little girl… or may be not.

Even love is like a child, Antor.

Who has hands… eyes… heart.

Does it have a name?

Yes… certainly!

Amour!
