How are you? - I'm all good.
Why so late today?
Will you come from that house?
Yes. - Okay, go.
Madam.
What happened? - The guy downstairs is just lying on his bed.
He isn't answering me. - Oh my.
Can you just check whether he's dead?
Hey.
Did you inform Mr. Roy downstairs? - Hmm.
Hey, she says, no one's answering in the room downstairs.
He must be drunk.
He's a bogus man. Let him be.
He's an old man, just go check. - What a drag!
Inform everyone.
It's of no use. Call the police.
I did say that we should inform the police.
I think he's dead, right? - Didn't you
you know someone from the police station?
He got transferred. We can simply just call them.
It's a regular case.
Now we'll have to break the door. - That's some trouble.
Valmiki Sengupta. - Who are you?
I want to met him.
Today, it won't be possible. Come another day.
Hey, come. - Sure.
Let's go, I have to go.
Which way?
That one.
This one? - Yes.
Not opening the door?
I'll be coming late today. There has been an issue over here.
Isn't there anyone else inside?
No, he stays alone.
He is visible from that window.
What brings you here?
Let's just break the door.
Wait. Let the police arrive first.
There you go.
The forty thousand is gone.
What a s*******!
'Hey, listen. You stay over there.'
Once the police break the door, retrieve the writings.
You've gone crazy, right?
If I search for the writings before the police, they'll arrest me, too.
Don't worry about it.
Hey, listen. Do not move from there.
Go with them.
Till Neemtala.
I'm on my way. Yes.
Let me through. - To where?
I want to meet with the ICU's RMO.
I'm from Raj Security. I want to meet the RMO.
This is Sounak Hazra from Raj Security.
No, why will it be a service call?
Loan of four lakh rupees is pending. You said you'd repay it today.
Okay, I'll call at 10 pm. And yes, hello.
I won't accept a PDC.
No, I want a cheque with today's date on it.
'Hey, do you know who'll be attending now?'
'Hey, did we get the X-ray report of number two?'
'Sir was just asking about it.'
'Wasn't it delivered? - No.'
'The Somu is very evasive.'
'Go and get the report. The X-Ray will be empty after this.'
What's the situation? - He's still unconscious.
Oh no.
Do you think we'll get the writings?
I just saw him in an unconscious state.
Thank God you went there early morning.
From 7 AM to 7 PM.
It's a Reserve Bank rule. Can't go further.
Then you can meet your girlfriend after seven.
No, I mean, only if you want to.
I can't do that. I'm busy till eleven at night.
Do you only recover bank loans?
Credit card loan.
Mortgage loan, ECS fraud and everything else.
Now everyone is neck-deep in loans, right?
House, car, daughter's foreign travel.
Son's education, dad's operation. Everything is on loan.
These are your golden days.
Threaten them well and earn, too.
Do you know what I think?
If you threaten this guy well, we'll get the writings.
The Reserve Bank has restrictions for that as well.
You can't just do what you wish.
Oh, let it be.
We have a publishing house. What can the Reserve Bank do?
If we fail, you can hire goons.
'Hey, did you get that copy?'
'He's been repeatedly asking for it.'
'It'll take some time. Today, I'll get free by eleven.'
'Just see what can be done.'
Sir.
'Patient number three is conscious.'
ICU 3, any family members?
Number 3 ICU.
'He's a third-class man.'
'Is it his biography?'
Forty thousand is a lot of advance.
Even after so much, do you still think
that this is that man's biography?
Then, his girlfriend. - Hey!
It's his wife.
Roshni Bose.
Well-known film and theatre actress.
Her body was found on the ground, naked.
These four are complimentary copies.
Please make him sign these.
Make sure you don't repeat your mistake.
Between 70s and 90s,
in the city of Kolkata,
can you tell me the most sensational
female deaths?
Sunitra Guha, 1976.
Devjani Banik, 1983.
Hetal Parekh, 1990
and Roshni Bose, 1991.
It was on the front page of newspapers for 22 days straight.
That man never spoke anything about his wife.
You know nothing.
Do you roam around with tiffin boxes and water bottles?
You can just eat outside, right?
Here, put them in your bag.
If this book gets published,
Bengalis will die to read it.
That man's silence
plus the conspiracies of that period's film and theatre.
My prediction is never false.
The man is conscious again, sir.
I've put a recovery agent after him.
Forty thousand rupees...
That's nothing. - The writings.
The writings are important.
Can I get a room?
For how long?
Until 0430 to 0500 in the evening.
Seven hundred.
How much? - Seven hundred.
Wasn't it five hundred?
No.
Put down your name, address, and phone number here.
Do you have an Aadhar card?
It's fine. Just write your name and address.
Take them to 404. The AC is running.
He increased two hundred rupees. Did you notice?
I won't come here again.
Where will you go?
Where else can we go other than hotels?
The previous guy was good.
I get a filthy glance from this person.
He can clearly see what will happen in the room.
The previous guy couldn't see that. What can be done?
Life will just go by like this.
I never came to this room before.
Why the curtains? Hey..
Did you get hurt?
It's true.
We did not come here earlier.
No need to open it.
It must be the hotel staff.
Hey.
Not now, wait. - Why?
Let me change the sheets. - Hey.
Just sit down for two minutes.
We were lying over it for so long.
No. It's dirty.
What happened to your dad's factory?
Dad's friend, Uncle Shibu.
His son is now a local youth leader.
He sent away all the bikes and scooters from the factory.
The middle room is packed to the brim. You notice it once you visit.
Hmm.
Our company has Amit Das in marketing.
He knows a lot of MLAs.
He said if my brother
heeds to what the party says, then the factory will be reopened.
Oh my.
Will your brother change?
He's unsure whether he can feed himself after a few days,
and you're talking about change.
They have transferred Valmiki Sengupta from the ICU.
Is he your patient?
No, I am just here to meet him. - Okay.
Forty-three.
Head straight. He's right at the very end.
Near the window. - On the left?
Yes, straight.
How is he?
Epilepsy and heart blockage.
'I'm doing fine at home. She was talking about you.'
'Hey, did you get that report yet?'
'Hey, I'm over here. Yes, don't worry.'
How are you?
Your publisher has sent me.
Mukherjee publishers.
They've hired our agency for the task. I'm a recovery agent.
What do you want? - The same as the publisher.
The writings.
I'm sick.
That's true.
Get better, go home, and then give me the writing.
Get well soon. Good night.
Don't come here anymore.
'Did you hear about that?'
I haven't written a single line yet.
Now you can. What's the issue?
Bye.
Here, hold this. - You're carrying such heavy things.
Your hips will start hurting. Give it to me.
Keep them down. - Okay, first, go keep them.
So now you're free.
Yes, don't even start. That...
Our job is quite troublesome.
There's still a beautiful heart surviving in it.
No. - What else is needed?
Are you free tomorrow?
Yes, can we meet tomorrow in the morning by eleven?
Okay, that coffee shop, then?
'Addaghor.' - Okay, fine.
Bye. - 'Bye.'
Take it.
Wake up. The food is here.
Give him 'boti' soup.
Hey.
Why are you getting down?
Don't get down. I'll bring you the urine pod.
I want to go home! - Please lie down.
I want to go home. - Why are you getting down?
What's happening? - What are you doing?
I want to go home! - Yes, you will. Lie down for now.
Sir, please come here once. You'll go home. Please sit.
Please lie down. - Let me go!
You will go home. Why are you behaving like this?
Please calm down.
Hey, hold him over there.
Hold him tightly.
I...
Oh...
Sister, injection. Fenitoine. - Yes, sir.
Amit, I'm leaving. - Sure.
Hey, no, our products are ceramic.
Yes, it has a totally different marketing system.
Let me meet you tomorrow.
He's been bugging us since yesterday,
complaining that he wants to go home.
He's very restless.
He doesn't have any family,
we informed the ward master.
There are four other members in his family,
but none of them will come.
Now what? Can you do a self-signature on the risk bond?
Hey, come here.
Will you be able to sign? - Yes.
Where should I sign?
Hey, now you can go home.
You may leave.
My job involves working with shady individuals.
One of my clients created a nuisance in the
hospital signed a bond, and got out of the hospital.
That.
So many people, even if they want to, cannot repay the loan.
Take me for instance.
I was a defaulter for four months, right?
What if you hadn't given me some extra time back then?
The flat is finally in your name. That's what matters.
Hmm.
Taking
loans and repaying them is quite fun, though.
We loan out so many things, not only just money.
Some repay, and some can't.
He dies with an accusation of being a thief.
Yes.
Let me tell you something straight. I am in need of a job.
Let me tell you what I'm capable of doing.
I can teach any subject till class 10.
I've learned how to sing.
I can teach singing following notations.
I don't want any money, nothing.
Can't you go back to teaching in school?
No.
It's been a long time since I've left it.
Oh.
Wait, let me see. - Please have a look.
King or Queen?
Huh.
King or Queen?
Queen.
Oh god. - Let me see.
Wow.
It's hand-drawn, right?
It's very beautiful.
Is he inside?
He's unwell.
It's good that you came back.
There are so many patients over there.
Who knows who has what illness?
Didn't I tell you not to come?
What can I do?
I'm a recovery agent. This is my job.
I've spent the money.
How can I not spend it?
I just want the writing.
'Take this.'
I don't know how to write.
My hand aches.
You may go now.
I'll go out now.
Neither will you give me the money nor the writings.
What do you think?
Will the publisher let you go?
I can't think.
It gives me a headache.
What's there to think about?
You won't be writing a story, but your wife's biography.
Have you written anything in life?
A single line?
No, I don't know how to write.
Then just do what you're supposed to!
Threats.
Beatings.
Do whatever you wish.
I cannot write.
You narrate, someone else will write it down.
Will that do?
I've kept tea in the flask.
I'm leaving. - I'm leaving, too.
These headaches
and hurting your hand. Just stop lying to me.
Let me take care of it.
A person will come daily to write.
Let me tell you something.
Do not try to run away or do something dumb.
It'll hurt you even more.
Bye.
'He was famous back then.'
'His stories were in great demand, too.'
'Mainly stories about cinemas.'
'Yes, I know.'
'There are many hit films made on his stories.'
Yes, but he's a very twisted man.
He often gets intoxicated.
And then his wife's murder.
Yes, Roshni Bose.
It got a lot of limelight back then.
Back then,
I guess I was in class seven or eight.
1991.
No, 1992.
1991.
My birth year.
Oh.
The floor above, come. - Hmm.
You go first.
She is Medha Roy.
She has an M.A. degree in Bengali.
She was a teacher for about eight years.
What do you know about me?
Not much, but I've read a few of your books.
There was a play on my story
at Pratapganj.
Super hit.
It was Sujata Chowdhary's
last stage appearance.
Later Arpan Chakrawarty
made a film out of that story.
Which story of mine is that?
So, I don't know.
Why does she have to know about your past?
You'll narrate, and she'll write. That's all.
Please take out your notebook.
Start writing.
Roshni Bose.
Life,
chapter one.
Hmm.
My dad was a strange person.
If someone tried to act smart,
he hit
that person
with this part of his hand.
It used to hurt so much that some would cry,
some would scream, and some would just faint.
Should I repeat myself?
My dad used to hit the person
with his palm on his neck if the person tried to act very smart.
Some would cry,
some would scream a lot.
My father,
when he first
saw Roshni,
he was
without words
and stunned.
He then said
where did you get so much light from?
Who gave you such brightness?
Can we do this much for today?
I've to go out now.
A lot of people are waiting for me.
Finally, it has started.
That's important.
He only said two sentences.
Your writing speed is terrific.
And we've engaged with a monk-like person.
One minute.
Sir is here.
Come.
I'm here to take a few things.
Take it.
Hey, where did the ashtray go from here?
Thanks.
Take out the ashtray.
The person is coming here again and again.
Why don't we just repay him?
What did he say?
He won't say anything if we just repay him.
Let me know what he said, then we can do something about it.
Don't speak like a gangster.
He didn't say anything.
Then why are you annoying me?
Do you think I'm deliberately not repaying him?
It's not good to borrow money
if you're not able to repay it.
Hey, what have you started with? Just stop it.
We can obviously wait
but that won't solve the issue.
If I don't take out loans, he won't be able to do his BBA.
Can't he understand that?
Just drama.
Why are you getting so angry? You know how he is, right?
Come eat, I'm reheating the food.
I just wanted to know how you are, boss.
Uncle just kept asking, so...
Didn't I tell you when I'll repay you?
My wife is very serious, you know.
She's suffering from an appendix.
She is crying out of pain. - All so suddenly, huh?
Just give me anything. Whatever you can.
It's a call from your home. Come down.
Go.
Hello. Yes, what happened?
Okay, I'm coming right now.
I'm coming right away. Here's the phone.
You be here.
I need to go.
I've got to admit her to a hospital. She's vomiting.
Do you have such coins
of five rupees?
Not nickel.
But copper.
I have two. - Give it to me.
Thank you.
I don't know what two lines of rubbish, I said yesterday.
Throw them away.
What do you do?
Nothing as of now.
Do you write?
I am writing.
For the past few days.
What are you writing?
Whatever
can remember at that time.
The doctor has asked me to write.
What happened to you?
Depression.
Hmm.
You don't look stupid.
Who burdened you with this?
No one.
You'll get tired after a couple of days.
That smart boy will be after you.
Just leave before that.
Let me tell you something.
Maligning my character is very easy.
No one will disbelieve.
If that suits your taste, then just say
that it's quite impossible to make this man narrate.
So?
You can at least say this, right?
Hey, please come in.
I was very scared.
I was a huge padlock hanging on the door.
Good that you came.
Go inside.
Don't delay. I'm in a rush. - Sure.
I can't do it today.
Should I come sometime later?
No, it won't happen now.
Could you just give me your
phone number, please.
You won't be able to find my whereabouts.
Just write your number over there.
In that diary.
For the two coins.
Hey. I am unable to get any powder or towels.
You ran out of massage oil, too.
Everything is available.
Why do you lie?
I can't do poetry.
Listen, let's do one thing.
I'll go with you in the evening.
No, there's no need for force.
He'll throw away anything that he says today.
Just a minute. It's from my office.
Yes, hello.
Hey. Am I deliberately delaying?
Thank you. - No, listen.
No, talk to the bank. It won't happen.
I'll need a few more days.
What happened?
Any problem?
I don't feel good, you know.
Do you call this a job?
There's a person.
His credit card loan is due.
His daughter, who was 16 years old, committed suicide two days ago.
And my office pushes me daily to recover the money.
I've taken a loan myself.
I still need to repay 25,000.
My brother is doing BBA.
His fees for every semester is 30,000.
My dad
used to grade films.
Cinema became digital
and my dad could not keep up with
the new technology and computers.
He's been unemployed for the past seven years.
I wasted so much time after cricket, as well.
I've been doing this job for the past two years.
Not to mention my mom's surgery and my sister's wedding.
It's just one thing after the other.
The person I borrowed money from,
his wife's appendix just burst. We want the money.
I think you should just repay him. Whatever you can.
I'd have repaid him if I had the money. Why wouldn't I do so?
Will you accept if I give you the money?
You.
No.
Listen.
Think of it practically, the... - I'll go with you in the evening.
This man is very troublesome. You can't handle him alone.
No.
Yes, what happened?
Hey, why did you involve a woman in this?
Will you write then?
Will you write instead? Tell me. I'll refuse her.
How can I write? - Then let me do my job.
Hey, have you talked to him regarding the money?
Hey, we need to know about that.
Leave it to me. I'm handling this. - Okay.
What kind of a woman is she?
Discussing that won't help you in any way.
Listen, retrieving the writing is important.
Just leave it to us.
Hello.
Sir, I've already boarded the metro. I'm on my way.
Torsha, what happened?
Come.
Sir, who do you want to visit?
Mr. Banerjee. - Mr Banerjee lives on the ninth floor.
I'll take the stairs.
"Clouds, clouds and clouds. The wind, not so strong."
"I get immersed in the blue ocean."
"Where will I float to?"
"Everywhere I face, I see the blue ocean."
"The ocean goes deeper and deeper."
"Clouds, clouds and clouds."
"The light hides behind the clouds, the blackbird soars in the wind."
"The white bird keeps searching"
"for the person who's so indebted."
"Clouds, clouds and clouds."
"Where will I float away to?"
Oh no. He wasn't at home in the afternoon, either.
I had to return with the food.
Do you him his lunch? - Huh.
Do you bring him his lunch?
Lunch and dinner, both.
Hey, Amit. - Hmm.
Could you do anything regarding dad's factory?
I've talked, you know.
Let's see what happens. I'll call you at night.
Hmm. - Okay?
Why aren't you picking up the phone? I've been calling you for ages.
I'm coming from Garia. The metro is shut, too.
Someone committed suicide. - There's no need for you to come.
Can't I be ten minutes late? - No, that's not the reason.
You can't always be punctual.
I don't come here daily.
Don't do this.
Look, you can't do this every day.
Earlier, you didn't have a job, and thus, you used to come.
Now you have a... - Okay, now, enough preaching.
"My lover, speak to me."
"Like a butterfly fluttering about in seach of nectar"
"I've been waiting for you."
"Your enchanting smile"
"Plays on my heartstrings like a Rudra Veena."
"My love, talk to me softly"
"Let me melt away in your voice."
"To take to the skies - Have you readied your wings?"
"Like the waves, and the shore"
"Let us unite the rythms of our heart"
"Be gentle, my lover."
'An okay job, okay relationships.'
'Anyone can have these.'
'If you want a great life.'
'You must commit to lead a great life.'
'To do things the majority do not do.'
'Commit to thinking like the minority.'
'Not like the majority.'
'Here are seven principles to live by.'
'For an abundant, happy and successful life.'
'Number one. The first principle to live by is that'
'one day, you will be gone.'
'Maybe in fifty years and maybe'
'in fifty weeks and maybe next week or even today.'
'I don't know, you don't know.'
'Nobody knows.'
'And rather than living in fear of this, we should embrace'
'the fact that this life is short.'
He is not answering the phone.
If an appendix explodes, does a person survive?
I've heard that it gets critical.
Please count.
No, you've already counted them.
No, please count again.
No need.
I'll return this within two months.
Do you know what they call this in our line of work?
Top up.
How I'm unable to repay the money that I borrowed.
So, again...
Do you have some work now?
Yes, I'm visiting Mr. Valmiki in the evening.
No, I mean, now.
Right now.
No, I'm free now.
No one's picking up the phone. Did the wife die?
There's no one here. Everyone's in the hospital.
No one's here.
They left in the morning.
Are you Ravi Maitri's wife?
Yes, do you have a message for him?
No, I don't have anything to say.
'You have to be very angry to strip'
'a woman naked after killing her.'
'The ones who killed Roshni on the ground, '
'Prabhash, Anukul, Javed, Peter.'
'The police has so many unknown names.'
'I could only see'
'Naihati's Ferry harbour at that time.'
'The sun is setting.'
'I was waiting for Roshni at the edge of the water.'
'I was only 22 back then.'
Hmm.
How are you able to write so fast?
How many pages did you write?
Three.
Do you know how many pages you need to write?
For it to get published, you need 150 pages.
An author is a slave to the pen.
No, don't write this.
Have you heard these things?
Why do I write? Manik Bandhopadhyay.
Words that cannot be expressed in any way other than writing,
I write to... - I write to convey those words.
I don't have the will
to tell you anything about Roshni.
What do you actually want?
To finish the work
I've started.
So will that take away all the sorrows?
And all of a sudden you'll have light all around?
Nothing will happen.
I'll annoy you so much that you'll go crazy.
We stopped at the award ceremony
in a five-star hotel.
Did you suddenly see her over here?
Who?
Roshni Bose.
I can't see Roshni anymore.
She has drifted far away.
Pages after pages cannot be written about her.
"My light does not glow"
"in the darkness."
"Is that why?"
"Is that why you don't respond"
"time and again?"
Do you know this song?
Hmm.
Please sing. - No.
I haven't sung for a long time. I won't remember the lyrics.
That's even better.
Something new will be created.
The poet will be happy.
Come on, sing.
"My light does not glow"
"in the darkness."
"Is that why?"
"Is that why you don't respond time and again?"
"My light does not glow"
"Your flute..."
"Your flute plays in my heart,"
"in hard sorrow, in deep joy"
"Those who do not know"
"Those who do not know the path,"
"cry for them."
"Is that why?"
"Is that why you don't respond"
"time and again?"
"My light does not glow"
"Longing for the"
"night's sky-drink,"
"the heart knows what"
"it desires."
"It knows what it desires."
"Why does hope..."
"Why does hope awaken for no reason?"
"In my heart,"
"moment by moment,"
"in the grip of pain"
"I will bring you to the door."
"Is that why?"
"Is that why you don't respond"
Leave now.
Or else you'll be in trouble.
You sang really well.
It touched my heart.
Thank you.
I'll come tomorrow.
Sir is here.
Who gave you the permission to enter my room?
Have a look at what I'm taking.
Get out.
Get out!
Hey, don't cross your limits.
What do you think of yourself, huh?
Let me go.
Rascal.
Ah!
What are you doing?
Leave her.
Leave her, I say.
What are you doing? Leave her.
Madam.
Listen, proofs are important at the right time.
You'll see, today Ravi Maiti won't spare his wife.
It would've been better if she'd died after her appendix burst.
Why?
The man is aware that he will no longer be able to ask you for money.
Now he'll regret why he lies to you about her wife's appendix problem.
That vile woman is to be blamed here.
Repay the money.
The woman will be spared.
So now I should just repay him?
Nothing much, the woman will suffer now.
Stop talking nonsense.
I've already given the money back.
Ask for it again.
The person who gave 15,000 just by looking at you
will surely give again.
Looking at me? Meaning? - Then what else?
Shameless.
Even if the man lies to you, you won't be able to punish him.
You'll be repaying your loan, but not the entire amount.
Repay him. The woman will be spared. - No.
You can tell your dad that your borrowings have decreased.
That doesn't bother me.
It does bother you. I know it.
'Come, Torsha. Come on, let's go.'
'Happy Birthday to you.'
Yes.
Come on, now let's take a nice selfie.
'Wow, this is amazing.'
"Clouds, clouds and clouds. The wind, not so strong."
'There are still many games to play with you in the elevator.'
'And thus, I could not jump off the roof of your house.'
'And thus, on your birthday, '
'four lines are due.'
"The ocean goes deeper and deeper."
"Clouds, clouds and clouds."
"The light hides behind the clouds,"
"the blackbird soars in the wind."
"The white bird keeps searching"
"for the person who's..."
'I'm running after'
'a hearse.'
'Not the dead body'
'but I'm seeking the adolescence to come back'
'or a deep interest for your death.'
'Can it untangle the hurting heart?'
'The sense of danger written'
'on the rain-soaked pages.'
'Today is the last twilight sun in the light seen by the bride.'
Has dad gone out?
Why? What did he do now?
He's checking Shamal Torsa's accounts.
What does he know about accounts?
What's all this?
I'm checking if there's any mistake in the calculations.
It's a year-round job if I can do it right.
Today, someone visited my office.
He's from the film industry.
He knows you.
He said that you could grade
low light scenes so perfectly
that people can't do it now even on computers.
I've repaid 15,000 to that man.
Repay the rest soon, as well.
'What happened?'
No, nothing.
You're a patient of depression.
It's only darkness all around.
No sorrow'll hurt you.
There's no pain that you'll cry out loud.
After seventeen years of marriage,
my husband is staying with a young girl.
What did you say? A seventeen-year-old kid?
She must be 21 or 22.
A swimming champion.
He's lucky.
Your husband.
You were hanging by his neck for the past 17 years.
Did you brush? Did you wash your face? Did you take a piss?
It's good that he ran away.
Let him swim for a few days.
He'll like it.
Did you come to this world relying on this man?
Will you be well if he keeps you well?
Will you fly like a butterfly only when he lights a candle?
Do one thing instead.
Light your own light.
Then dance around it like Malika Malati.
Can I not be formal with you?
Yes, of course.
Will you take me to my Roshni?
Come on, write.
Will you take me to my Roshni?
That evening
I saw her for the first time
but I don't know why it felt like
we've met before.
Was it on the banks of the River Torsha
or was it inside the Sarandar jungle?
By the terms of the contract...
By the terms of the contract,
I'll speak
and she'll write.
Hey, keep writing. We need to write more pages, right?
Beyond the contract,
she's my thirst,
my consciousness,
my new address.
Who named you Medha?
My grandmother.
'The smile of a woman is pretty strange.'
'There's no bigger mistake than that.'
'I read a story by Devesh Roy.'
'That day, you had a smile on your lips.'
'The smile of the stolen lantern in the hands of the watchman.'
'Sometimes I turned my face on Roshni with great arrogance.'
'Then again, when it was past the night, '
'my heart, my emotions and my body'
'agreed to compromise.'
'Many people are still interested'
'in giving Roshni an opportunity in movies.'
'Then a bogus journalist came into the picture.'
"I would like to see"
"how well does he sing."
'Roshni, along with that boy had gone'
'past the intersection near our house'
'to Shyambazar.'
'At that time, I was writing a new movie script'
'about the student agitation in Tiananmen Square, '
'which the film director will cancel the next day.'
'Hey, no, this will go over the viewer's head.'
'Mister, please stick to the tram lines of Tollygunge.'
"Be aware of who stays beside you."
Aunt. - Oh, it's you.
How are you? - I'm doing well.
How are your parents doing?
They are just like before. - Okay.
Please come.
Oh my. - What do I say, dear?
We're in such dire straits. Come on, let's go.
Try as much as you can, they won't let you reopen dad's factory.
There's no use telling you.
Please come. - Let me inform Deepa.
Please sit, okay? - Sure.
You're hard to meet.
Do you know Amit? - Sounak.
Amit. Amit Das.
He is Deepa's colleague. - Okay.
And Deepa must have told you about him, right?
Yes, she did.
So why won't they let us reopen the factory?
Kishore doesn't want to understand at all.
No, what's there not to understand?
Look, today, you're taking political support.
You have to give something in return, right?
Mr Bindu is supporting whole heartedly.
I don't get it, what should I give in return?
Sorry, just a minute.
No, please take the delivery.
I'll talk to the supplier.
And listen, just go through the challan
and check whether the serial number matches the old stock.
Yes.
Empty that pocket.
Hey, Amit, you'll have tea, right?
No, I only have tea once in the morning.
It has become a bad habit of mine by treating clients with a coffee.
Kishore, will you have coffee?
Yes, if you're making it, then why not?
Hey, are you leaving? - No, I'll be back.
Listen. - Hmm.
I'm going to Phulia tomorrow.
Why?
I am thinking of doing business by getting sarees from there.
I have a lot to discuss with you.
You didn't tell me about this.
I decided about it today.
Amit knows a lot of people there.
They won't let us reopen dad's factory.
Yes, I heard.
Kishore will have sleepless nights if he switches parties, they say.
He won't do anything at all. He'll just roam around and play carom.
And then, before the elections, he'll get busy doing party work.
Uncle. - Tell me.
Give me two coffee pouches.
How much? - Twenty rupees.
Oh.
Give me two pouches of milk powder.
'Fresh vegetables, anyone?'
The small one. That one.
See if it'll work out. What do your King and Queen say?
Are you going alone?
No, Amit is going, too. I'll be back the day after tomorrow.
King.
Where did it go?
Leave it, it went along with the scooter's tyres.
Come, I'll draw it again.
Hmm.
Roshni's dead body
was lying over here.
There wasn't a single thread on her body.
That day
it rained cats and dogs throughout the night.
She was just lying here.
At that time, many of your writings were banned.
Some were for political reasons
and some due to vulgarity.
No publisher was ready to publish your work
due to the fear of getting arrested.
I've read a lot about you in the past few days.
Leave it be.
What will you gain by doing this?
I come here sometimes.
I leave a mark so that I can identify it.
Let's go, there's still a lot to write.
No.
Let's stay here for a while.
I've come here after a long time.
What have you started?
This is some shanty that you'll do whatever you like.
Did you urinate over here last night?
No. - What, no?
You were drunk and right over there.
I have photos on my phone.
No, I was feeling dizzy and thus,
I was leaning over here like this. All these
are just lies, these... - Do not shout.
Everyone knows about your escapades.
What do you know? What do you know, huh?
Come over here. - They are just spitting nonsense.
Come on, give me the keys.
Here. - Give me.
You don't know me. - Huh.
Just one phone call and the party members
will teach you a good lesson.
What will your party members do, huh?
Come inside.
Come inside, please. - Do your dirty deeds inside.
Come on inside! Hey, leave me. - Shut up.
Why are you escalating the issue? - Threatening me with party? You!
Party, huh!
s*******!
What's going on? Come here.
You're doing too much now.
I'll leave now.
Hey, you don't know.
They think of me as some beggar.
These s♪♪♪♪♪♪ don't know.
The couches that you see,
This place used to packed with people.
Many known people used to come.
And they watch them in movies and keep staring.
Illiterate animals, all of them.
They're showing me... - It's okay.
That's enough. Now, please sit.
Come on, calm down and sit over here.
They are now threatening me. - It's okay.
Calm down.
I don't have any cigarettes, let me get some.
Hey, where are you going? It's raining outside.
I just said I'm out of cigarettes, right?
What's the need to go out now? It's raining.
Just leave me alone. Stop nagging.
'We are always with the people.'
'365 days x 24 hours.'
'And I can say this with responsibility that when people'
'are in such trouble, '
'then we don't see'
'if they are from some other party. Over there, no, wait...'
'Please listen to me. Over there only our...'
Hmm, party!
Hmm.
'They only say vote for us.'
Hmm.
'Coblledicook, son of Gobbledigook.'
'Your mom has cooked spinach.'
'Coblledicook, son of Gobbledigook.'
'Your mom has cooked spinach.'
'You keep giving, I keep gobbling it up.'
'Coblledicook, son of Gobbledigook.'
How far did the writing go?
The writing.
It'll be done. That woman is...
The Ashok Nagar's gentlemen will pay me tomorrow.
I'll get a promotion after that.
Why are you going to Phulia?
Can we thrive on your promotion money?
I'll have to look after mom too.
Anyway, leave it.
How are you travelling?
On bike.
On a bike!
Yes, Amit can't travel via bus or train.
He travels far away using his bike.
He has asked me to be there by 0530.
At Shoshtitola corner.
I'll drop you.
Have you gone crazy? It's near my house. Why come so early for that?
Apart from that,
even if don't come along, I'll still feel that you're with me.
Tonight's dinner.
He left to get cigarettes but has yet to return.
Oh my.
Listen. - Huh.
Listen.
Is it common for the electricity to go out here?
Yes, it does sometimes.
He's coming.
Okay, go.
Hmm.
Please change your wet clothes.
22nd September.
Today,
after some time,
they'll murder Roshni.
So just meet her.
Now go.
Get up.
Come on, get up.
Sit up, come on. Let me see.
Stand up. - Huh.
Okay, put your hands up.
Okay.
Hey, what are you doing?
Please sit up straight for a bit.
Pyjama?
Hmm.
Is it done yet? - That hand.
Give me that hand.
Just throw it.
All done.
Oh!
Come on, get up.
Hey, what are you doing?
I don't feel good.
Raise your leg.
Is it done?
Come on, sit down.
'One day, you'll definitely meet Deepa.'
'We are in a relationship for the last seven years.'
'We never went out.'
Both of us are in troubled waters.
Everything is pending.
It will be fine one day.
You'll see.
I am free for today all of a sudden.
Didn't I tell you about someone?
The one who's daughter committed suicide.
To whom did you give a lot of time? - Yes.
He'll pay me in the evening. I've informed the bank as well.
Can I go there with you today?
No.
I'll be a little late.
I have some work outside.
Oh.
Today,
all of you are going out.
Oh yes, I'll return your money tomorrow.
The one I borrowed.
Hmm.
What's the wedding date?
17th April 2002.
Oh my.
After so long.
What's the issue?
Any issues from the marriage?
No.
A question before beginning the divorce proceedings.
This will be asked during the hearing of the petition.
Are there no chances of reconciliation?
No.
Madam.
Listen. - Yes, sir.
Get both of their signatures.
You'll need to do an affidavit. He'll guide you through.
Sir, proof of residence. Proof of identity.
And I'll need photos of both of you.
With photo, he means your wedding photo.
Together. - Sir, please sign here.
Do you have the ability to push through?
No, it's quite the opposite.
I give up pretty easily.
I do whatever comes to mind whenever I feel like it.
I lose myself when I'm angry.
Wow. - This is the first.
This work of yours, I'm fighting tooth and nail for it.
Hmm.
Oh.
So I wonder
where such fresh flowers come from.
Now I get it. - I have this many.
Medallions. - Where are the monsoon flowers?
Bokul, Lily, Chapala, Dopati... - I'll get you everything.
He doesn't stop once he starts.
The interest and three signs below the total DMO
after writing down the cheque number.
Sir, these two small forms.
I'll get it done. Soumit.
I'll be right back.
'The number you're calling'
'is currently switched off.'
'Kindly try after some time.'
'The number you're calling is currently switched off.'
Hey, how far did the writing go? - Huh.
Yes, it'll be done very soon.
That man from the publishing house
was ill and admitted to the hospital.
He got discharged yesterday.
He'll start pestering after a few days.
The night when she died,
that afternoon
we argued a lot.
We hit each other in this room.
Look at her eyes.
You'll be able to see.
Demonic enthusiasm.
The apple of your eye.
For whom can you do whatever you want, you can go to...
Go to any extent.
You'll see that person will have one such thing...
One deadly flaw.
The more
you dig deeper, the more you'll be angry
and disgusted
with that
person.
This is the last chapter.
The most important chapter.
Whatever you've written so far,
the publishers will just throw it away
if they don't get this.
'The number you're trying to call is currently switched off.'
'Please try again later.'
Prashanth Banerjee, who lives
on the first floor over there. - He's gone.
What do you mean? Where did he go?
I can't say that. How about you ask that house?
It's highly likely that he went to Bangalore.
It could be Hyderabad too.
Previously, they used to stay over there.
They sold out all their goods some time ago.
Actually, what happened to his daughter is pretty heartbreaking.
Did you have anything to do with him?
Are you happy now?
Now have fun!
Weren't you being so generous then?
That the girl committed suicide and the father has gone mad?
He kept pestering me, behaving like Jesus Christ.
Hey, now what will you answer to the Bank?
The bank manager is going to
humiliate us and then cancel the contract.
Then whom will you go hit?
Oh.
Weren't
you saying that you couldn't
find any ink?
Here you go.
Take this.
Thank you.
I do not see that smart aleck man of yours.
I'll finish the work alone.
I didn't let him come.
Hmm.
However, not all loans can be repaid.
That's how the world works.
Some entries remain
in the ledger book here.
You can't do anything about it.
Yes, there is.
The last chapter.
The most important chapter.
It's still pending.
And then you're off the hook.
You'll be free of this despicable man.
What if I don't tell you the last page?
What will you do?
I got it.
There won't be any writing today.
I'll come tomorrow.
Good night.
Hey, listen.
At least sing a song before you go.
I'll feel better.
Why the formalities all of a sudden?
Should I sing whatever I feel like?
Just don't sing according to the situation.
That'll do.
"I know that"
"I have to give everything."
"My wealth, O Lord,"
"and my words,"
"I have to give everything."
"I know that I have to give everything."
"My wealth, O Lord, and my words."
"I have to give everything."
"Seen through my eyes, heard through my ears,"
"Skilled service of my hands, and my touch."
"I have to give everything."
"My morning and my evening in the notebook of my heart."
"Secretly, it will rise in your path, gradually"
"Now, the one who is my instrument, has..."
Give me the writings.
There's a little more left.
The last chapter.
What great novel have you been narrating for the last so many days?
You're not some great writer, that you'll send your writings.
And nobody is waiting impatiently
for your book to get numerous accolades.
A woman was lying dead on the ground
without any clothes, that's all.
And then who sang a song for whom
and who slept with whom, whatever that's valued for.
Listen, let me tell you in clear Bengali.
Now I've had enough. I want the writing now.
Hey, you came very late today.
Go freshen up. I'm serving dinner.
They've even forgotten the courtesy of replying.
You've taught us enough. Now, just stop!
Politeness, honesty, compassion.
I'm being battered every day for that. What else do you want?
Every person stabs me in the back because of this man.
Sounak, what are you doing. Let's go inside.
Let me go! - Come here.
Do not listen to him at all or else you'll become like me.
'Shut up.'
It's okay. At least have your dinner.
Don't get angry, my dear.
Oh my, why do you even do this? I'm just fed up.
I don't like it at all.
He's lost his mind wandering around in the hot summer sun.
He'll have to leave this house.
This terrible drama keeps happening every other day.
Now go and call Mr. Roy.
Now, again with the police, hospital, and ambulance.
Nonsense.
Where are you going this early in the morning?
Don't be angry, I've lost my phone.
On the way there,
I realised my phone is missing at a dhaba.
When I went there, I realised that
the one I went with his real goal is not the saree business
but me.
Wow. - Wait.
You know that I don't lie.
Couldn't you tell me that you lost your phone?
I didn't feel like it.
I was dead from the inside.
Anyway, I got a job in a drawing school.
Saturday and Sunday. I've to teach the kids.
I'll earn some money.
Then we'll see what happens.
I won't give up so easily.
I think I'll lose my job.
Why is that? Didn't the person whose daughter died give you the money?
Yes, tell me.
'Listen, the house will become vacant today itself.'
'If your brother-in-law is eager, ask him to get here.'
No, you can't delay.
Huh. No, he has no one.
That's why I'm telling you.
Let me give you whatever I've written.
Let it be.
That won't be needed anymore.
The shop which delivers him food,
they gave me the news.
That's when I called you.
He gave me your number.
He said he'll tell when the bell rings.
I assume if you don't get the writing,
the two of you will be in serious danger.
He has annoyed me a lot.
How can I do these things?
The ending is in here.
Combine it with the rest.
I came here some days ago.
He made me write these many pages from morning until evening.
"Sitting by"
"the seashore, the bird..."
I'll put on some new clothes for him.
He was quite fussy about cleanliness.
Let me get him dressed.
"Oh fate, oh dear fate,"
"what was in your mind?"
"Sitting by the seashore, the bird"
"pines without water."
"The chatak bird waits in anticipation of the clouds,"
"the rain falls in another land."
"Tell me, how does the chatak bird survive..."
"Tell me, how does the chatak bird survive,"
"with its parched soul?"
"Sitting by the seashore, the bird"
"pines without water."
"The chatak bird does not eat"
"from another's plate without fresh grains."
"Even if the chatak bird's pledge becomes heavy..."
"Even if the chatak bird's pledge becomes heavy,"
"it's still good if the soul is well."
"Sitting by the seashore, the bird"
"pines without water."
"Oh fate, oh dear fate..."
"Oh fate, oh dear fate,"
"what was in your mind?"
"Sitting by the seashore,"
"the bird pines without water."
"Lalon says,"
"Oh, mind,"
"where has my worship gone?"
"Forgetting the feet of Siraj Saiji..."
"thus life went in vain."
"Sitting by the seashore, the bird pines without water."
