'Smoking is injurious to health.'
'Smoking causes cancer.'
'Smoking is injurious to health.'
'It causes cancer.'
Let go of me! Leave me!
Hey, get a firm grip on his hand. Hold his hand.
Let me go! Let me go! - Move it.
Let me go! - Hey, move it!
This happens once in a while...
When you feel that your entire life has passed by.
Actually, it is nothing but a moment.
But the thought parks itself, somewhere in the mind...
Forever.
'Welcome to Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi.'
'A guy who has no family background...'
'Will he take responsibility for my daughter?'
'Look at this place.'
'You live in hell.'
'Do you even understand that?'
'Will you be able to nurture your son, in such a place?'
'Huh?'
'After sometime, he will also, turn into a scoundrel!'
'You had made such tall claims!'
'Look! Just see what that lowlife scum has done to our daughter!'
'You know, he is not himself after he drinks.'
'Complete bast**d!'
'You had painted such a rosy picture then?'
'The boy is talented! He writes very well.'
'And now? Now, you are howling and crying!'
'Listen.'
'You have made a life mistake,'
'by marrying against our will.'
'And now, if you don't leave this place,'
'you will make another blunder.'
'You will have to suffer the consequences of your mistake,'
'and the boy will also suffer!'
'If need be, you will stay in my house, but don't stay here,'
'another minute.'
'Come on, pack your things.'
'What is this?'
'Bl**dy drunkard!'
Today is 17th August.
Time, 12:30 PM.
I wonder, where to begin?
The matter, actually is very funny.
Initially, I thought of consulting a psychiatrist.
Later I thought,
he will be a stranger.
He doesn't know who I am. And has no clue about,
my life events.
Will he be able to do anything, if I go and confide in him?
This is my problem and I will have to solve it.
Actually, such characters have a,
particular name.
If you approach a psychiatrist then,
they will call you egocentric.
'Where are you?'
'Why didn't you call after landing?'
I did call.
Your phone kept ringing. You did not receive my call.
'Oh!'
'I was bathing.' - Hmm.
'Hey, did you have your breakfast?' - Yes.
I ate a sandwich on the flight.
Where are you? - 'I am going to the library.'
'At what time do you have to be there?'
5 PM. I have to reach by 5 PM. They will send a car at 3 PM.
'Please give me a call when you reach there.'
No, it's not possible to call you from there.
'I am sure you can send an SMS.'
'Drop me a message once you reach.'
'I hope you are not smoking too much?'
No, no I am not smoking.
'Okay, fine. I am entering the library.'
'Inform me when you reach, okay, bye?' - Yeah, bye.
'Hmm. I know,'
'I have some psychological problems...'
'And in medical terms, it has a complicated name.'
'Border line bipolar disorder.'
'Personality disorder.'
'Strange terms.'
'I have done a lot of research about these on the Internet.'
'Biology, neurology,'
'brain function... I have read it all.'
'I know, what causes what.'
'I behave like two different people, though I am one person.'
'At time, I feel very insecure.'
'I become very depressed.'
'And at times, it feels as if someone has deleted'
'an hour or an entire day from my memory!'
'Am I going mad?'
'The question has cropped up in my mind, several times.'
'If it is true,'
'then before something disastrous happens, I will have to stop it.'
'Initially, I had thought of writing a diary.'
'And then I will pick one problem'
'at a time and try to find an explanation.'
'But that kind of patience...'
'Do I have it?'
'I'll probably write for a day or two,'
'and then I will let it go, out of laziness.'
'In fact, the idea to record my thoughts is better.'
'I need not trouble myself with pen and paper.'
'Switch on the button and start.'
'So, I bought this camera.'
'Whatever I have to say, I will record it.'
'Later on, I will analyse everything with a calm mind.'
'As they say, know yourself.'
'Know yourself. Understand yourself.'
'If I can do that, all my troubles will be over.'
'How could I have known before the wedding...'
'Who am I setting out to live my life with?'
'You find out the truth only when you start living together.'
Anyway, I was talking about my psychological issues.
I hallucinate at times.
I get completely disconnected from the reality.
'I mean, I sit in one place...'
'But my mind travels to a completely different place.'
'I can clearly, see...'
'As a child, when I would count stars,'
'during load shedding, on the terrace...'
'Or the day when I had heard Beethoven,'
'in grandpa's room for the first time...'
'Or the first day when the first television came into our community.'
'I can see everything clearly, in my mind.'
The day I hallucinated for the first time,
that was the first day I smoked a cigarette.
I think a specific incident may have triggered it.
We will have to go back in time, to understand the issue in detail.
'Who is it?'
'Bloody penniless pauper!'
'An alcoholic! A psychological patient!'
'You brainwashed my daughter and eloped with her,'
'and anointed her forehead with vermillion at a temple! Rascal!'
'Look, you are a man,'
'you will not be able to live alone.'
'And your press. I will set up your press.'
'The loan you have taken from the market,'
'I will pay it off. I give you my word.'
'Grandson, come here.'
'Henceforth,'
'you and your mother,'
'will stay in your new house. Okay, dear?'
'Time doesn't wait for anyone.'
'And my childhood...'
'I lost myself when I was a child.'
'And then suddenly, I grew up.'
'I was young...'
'I had my rose- coloured glasses on.'
Is it possible to study with music on?
Hey, why haven't you changed your clothes.
Look at the condition of this room!
How many times have I told you,
not to keep dirty clothes in the room.
Please, serve my food here, I have an exam. I will eat later.
Hmm! He sits in front of the computer all day! Studying indeed!
I can't handle this. Each person has a different need!
One wants to eat in the room, others want to eat out!
There are three members in the family
and I have to do all the work!
Hey! You? What is that?
Let me see? Let me see?
Take it out. Take it out!
What should I take out? I haven't put anything inside!
Quiet! Are you poking fun?
Take that thing out of your pocket.
It is the end of the month, madam.
I have thirteen rupees, will you take that also?
Is that so?
What is this? What is this?
I thought it was a train ticket and put it in my pocket.
[Laughing] - Silence!
Acting smart, huh? Here, give me your answer sheet.
Let me go, sir. Let me go. Leave it, or it will tear.
Sir, my father said he would buy me a rickshaw if I cannot pass. - Yeah
that is what you should do. - I can't, sir.
Look, I have such thin legs.
[Laughing] - Silence! Silence!
Hey, add some water to the drink.
"We will enjoy our drink!"
"You will get a beating if you don't pay."
Abir,
let's start with you. - No, no, no, I won't have.
Hey, what do you mean? - What is it?
Hey, today, our exams are over,
and won't you have some fun today?
Mr. Abir is a good boy.
Didn't you read, when you were a kid,
"When will that boy come to our country,"
"If you don't drink today, how will you enjoy?"
Get lost!
I won't drink.
Why dear? Has Nilanjana madam forbidden you?
Why will Nilajana say no? Why bring her into it?
Why will Nilanjana say no?
Hey, after all, she is your first love.
Hey, Nilanjana!
After all, she is your first love.
Hey! Just you wait!
"There's one fragrant lotus and one firefly..."
"When I hear a new song, I feel I have heard it before?"
"I find myself alone on a free evening."
"I have surrounded myself with my thoughts."
"But you must understand,"
"only truth can combat lies."
"But you must understand only truth will combat lies."
"Let people talk, you must not listen to them."
"That is just a shadow, not the clear blue sky."
"Don't jump into the water!"
"One is the price of sin, and the other, the price of virtue.
"At times, I feel like a one-man army,"
"and at times, I am completely alone!"
"Do dreams ever come true?"
"I am terrified of losing myself."
"But you must understand, only truth can combat lies."
"Let people talk, you must not listen to them."
"That is just a blue shadow, not the clear blue sky."
"Don't jump into water!"
"Don't jump into the water!"
"At times, we stray from our path while looking for meaning in life."
"We lose our loved ones at times."
"The other party is also alone."
"Things look simple from afar, but they are complicated up close."
"And yet the road is long, and my home is on it."
"I am successful in my dreams, but incapable in reality."
"But you must understand only truth will combat lies."
"Let people talk, you must not listen to them."
"That is just a blue shadow, not the clear blue sky."
"Don't jump into the water!"
Hey, put your arm down.
So, what will you do next?
I am talking to you. - Hmm? - Yeah, you?
Oh, I haven't thought of anything?
What do you mean by that?
It's been six months you have passed your exams.
It's time for you to look for a job.
We are setting up a new machine at the press.
We will get a few new orders also.
Why don't you work in the press?
Darn! I don't like it.
Then what do you like?
What do you enjoy? Walking around aimlessly?
If you go to the press, you can get some practical work experience.
And your father will have a helping hand.
So, there are labourers at the press for that.
Do you think I am a labourer?
Babai!
A man doesn't become small by working.
Does that mean I have to slog like a donkey from now?
I can't do it.
I have a life.
I need to sit and think about what I want to do. I need time.
Oh, dear! He will think!
All you do is sleep all day.
He doesn't sleep, mother.
I have seen, he burns the night lamp, you know?
Yeah, that is when,
he stays awake and thinks!
How do you know,
that he stays awake at nights?
Why do you stay awake at night?
Hey! - Babai.
Getting a job in this market is a matter of luck, buddy.
By God's grace, I have got the job of a medical representative.
Thank God, my father bought me the bike.
I don't plan to stay here.
I'll move to Bangalore.
I won't make any progress in this city.
Appear for the exams at the Bank.
It is a government bank. You will live your life in peace.
You can go to office late...
You can eat food at subsidised rates at the canteen...
And then, you may snooze if you feel like it.
And the office gets over by 5 PM.
'Whoever comes feels it's their duty to impart wisdom!'
'Pearls of wisdom!'
'This is one thing, people can give you free of cost.'
'As though people's existence is dependent on my getting a job!'
'Nonsense!'
Boss. - What is the matter?
You are the first one I am sharing the good news with.
I will treat you today.
Who will take the order? - Chicken 'biriyani,'
Mutton 'biriyani', Chicken 'chaap,' Mutton 'chaap.'
Chicken or mutton?
Let's have mutton.
Every human being,
has some hidden talent.
Yours is so hidden that you haven't figured it out yet?
I have found it. I found it, buddy.
Shooting studio. Floor.
Big actors. Modeler.
This will be my life, brother.
Modeler?
Hey, as they go tick-tack, tic-tack on the ramp! Fashion show!
Oh, model? - Huh?
You know a bit too much!
In cricket,
the opening player is called the opener.
The guy who models, is a modeler.
How much will you earn?
Seven hundred per set. And they will also pay extra for overtime.
I am the Assistant Production Manager.
Hey!
Give me some onions, buddy.
I will control the entire shooting floor.
I will arrange for everyone's meals...
So, I have to be there.
How many people are there at a shooting?
The number of people depends upon the shooting?
Why don't you drop by one day?
I will come someday.
You will come if you find time after your romancing.
No, Nilanjana has no time.
Her exams are one. Home to tuition. Home to tuition.
I have been forced,
to find some good slaves,
within the same period.
She is not like us. She concentrates on her studies.
What do you mean, she is not like us?
Am I a failure like you?
To hell with the result?
Today,
I am working on a serial. Tomorrow I will work on a movie.
The industry will know me.
Great artists will know me.
Bancha Sapan Mondal.
Let's call it a day.
Go. And give your exams. Go.
Sir, everything is very confusing.
I'll forget everything in the exam hall, sir.
Hey.
Because I give you private tuitions does that mean,
I have to show you the question paper?
Study from whatever I have taught you. Go.
I must leave in another half an hour.
Go, go, go. I have work to do. Go! - See you, sir!
Hmm. Go.
See you, sir. - Yeah, okay. Go.
Sir. - Hmm? - Sir.
Sir, I am not able to do these. Please guide me, sir.
Okay, bye. - Yeah. - See you tomorrow.
Please, come. - Yeah. Bye.
What is this? Why are you both here?
What you did was not right.
I did wrong, means? What have I done?
Did you get the entire question paper?
And you handed out a few questions to us, just for the sake of it?
What? What are you saying?
I did not get the complete question paper.
Dramatics! She did not get the question paper, indeed!
Then how did you secure such high marks? Huh?
Have you even seen such marks in your life?
Listen, Nilanjana. Don't try and act smart with us.
None of us is stupid.
We understand girls like you very well.
Don't forget, without our help,
you wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Nothing! - Hey, hey, hey!
Who are you pointing the finger at? Hey, what is the matter?
Nothing. Let it go Arindam.
They do not study all year, and if others get better marks...
Leave it. Let it go.
Let's go. There is no point in wasting time here.
Darn!
Now, he has thought of his slaves.
Sir has left his madam to come here.
Hey, who is here?
Mr. Abir. - Yeah.
So, how are you, brother?
Today you are here to spend time with slaves, instead of your madam?
What is the matter? - Ms Nilanjana has exams.
So, she is not meeting hi. - Hey, Nilanjana's exams are over.
Her results are out.
We will have to find a solution today.
Don't people come here to hang out with friends.
Yes, perhaps they do.
But I am not sure if dedicated lovers like you come and hang out.
[Indistinct]
You are a great player indeed! - True.
Hey, what is this? - Darn!
Abir. Listen up.
What? - Who?
Nilanjana has not done the right thing.
Do you know what she did?
Hell, the light generally does go off at this hour.
Where is the candle? - Sir.
Sir, please do not leave me here.
Nilanjana. - Sir, I am feeling very scared.
What are you doing?
Switch it on! Switch it on! It's been long.
Slowly. Careful.
Hey, what happened? - Hey!
Hey, Abir. You cannot push me like that. - Hey!
He is talking nonsense.
Don't this. Don't raise your hand.
Hey, why are you touching him? - They are talking rubbish!
What is the matter? - Just because you are a senior...
Will you raise your hand because you are a senior?
They are talking nonsense. - To hell with you.
Where are you running off? - Hey, what happened?
'The number you are calling, is busy.'
'Please, try again later.'
[Indistinct chatter]
Why?
Why should I go to them?
Are they men or animals?
How could they say something so filthy about a girl?
Okay, fine. Just come with me, once.
Come with me just once,
if they don't apologise, I will break their jaws.
No!
I... I don't even want to see their faces.
And you want me to go and meet them?
Why Abir? - Hey.
Can you not believe my version?
Hey, no, no. Why would I distrust you?
I am amazed at their courage.
No, no, if they have the guts let them say it to your face.
Abir, please. Why won't you understand?
Besides, my parents...
It will be a disaster if they come here, now. Abir. Please.
Please, go away from here, Abir. Please.
Please.
Please, Abir.
Please.
Why are you taking Nilanjana's case,
so seriously, tell me?
Hey!
I have known those boys since my childhood days.
Every single one of them is a scoundrel.
If you ask them their father's name,
none of them will give you a straight answer.
And you have registered who said what,
in your mind.
Flush it out! Just flush it out of your mind.
Listen, can you do me a favour.
Bring them here one of these days.
We will find out what the truth is.
And, how will we bring them here?
The girl doesn't want to confront them?
Is your brain full of dung?
Haven't any one you,
fooled around in your life?
Look at me. Just look at me.
I have kissed about a dozen girls.
I know everything about girls.
Actually, what happens is,
in matters such as these, girls don't want to come out in public.
They feel shy.
Hey... Hey, what?
Hey, I'll suffocate.
Here, drink water. Have some water.
What was that? - Why did you do that?
You have had too much to drink.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Let go. - Yuck, brother.
You are drunk? - Hey, let go.
Mother. Oh, mother!
Oh, mother, Abir pushed me hard.
What is the matter? Why are you shouting?
Oh, mother. Abir hit me hard!
Hello? - Is that Abir Roy?
Yes, I am Abir. Who is speaking?
Hey! I am calling from the police station.
The officer has called you.
Come here in half an hour, or I will come and pick you from your house.
Police station?
Sir. - Hmm. - He is the guy.
Abir Roy. The girl was...
Arrest him! Arrest this boy, sir.
He is a useless vagabond.
He lives in my neighbourhood.
I spoke to him as an acquaintance.
But I did not know his true character, then.
He has been stalking me for the past two years.
He wants to marry me.
Do you know he is so much older to me?
Now, he is threatening me.
Yesterday, he came to my house.
Hey!
Hey, look at me. Look at me.
I'll thrash you and lock you up!
You like to bother girls, is it?
Son of a pig, I'll break your waist!
You will forget your Romeo's ways. Got it?
Hold your ears. Hey, hold your ears!
No, no, sir. Ask him to give it in writing.
He will stay away from me and my family members.
And he will not come near my house.
Please, ask him to give it in writing.
Write it down, scoundrel!
Write.
Your name, your father's name and address...
Write. Write. - Hey, come on.

'A new problem had arisen after the incident with Nilanjana.'
In medical terms, it is called,
border line personality disorder.
My mind was in turmoil.
That day I hallucinated for the first time.
Tell me? What do you want?
Tell me, brother? What do you want? Tell me?
Hey, listen.
Won't you say anything to your son?
Last night, our son came home drunk.
But then, who am I talking to?
The children will learn what they see at home.
Now, what has our family culture got to do with this?
Our son is an adult.
He may have shared a few drinks with friends.
Huh?
He did not behave like a drunkard?
And had he done something, I would have heard.
Nice. Now, you are talking like a dad.
How will you hear?
If you sleep as though dead, will you ever hear anything?
The son comes home drunk and the father is encouraging him.
And why won't you encourage?
I am stuck with a bunch of drunks!
Listen, do one thing.
Henceforth, father and son can sit at home and glug alcohol!
These days, I don't drink more than two pegs.
That is more than enough!
At times I wonder with amazement...
How a man manages to shirk his familial responsibilities.
All day you are engaged at the press,
some music and friends... And that's it!
Now, why pick a fight at dusk?
Why are you shouting and screaming?
Everyone has a life beyond the home? Isn't it?
I have not kept you wanting for money?
Whenever you have asked for anything... - Oh?
All your responsibility is over if you give money at home? Is it?
Is all you responsibility over?
We have two grown children at home.
What are they doing or not doing for that matter...
Whether they are studying or not? Who are they socialising with?
The responsibility for all that lies on my shoulders?
Have you even spoken to them properly, once?
How well do you know them?
Okay, fine. Don't lose your temper.
I will speak to Babai.
Yes, you will talk!
Do you have the time to talk to Babai?
Wouldn't you rather drink instead?
Your mind and heart are stuck in that glass. Do you understand?
Beyond this, you have no time! - No, no. Listen.
Have I never spent time with you all?
Oh, you have spent time with us. Is it?
Oh, okay, can you show me one Bengali household,
where they don't have a picture
in their drawing room of a trip to Puri,
or Digha or Darjeeling?
We don't have.
Why? Why? Why don't we have one, tell me?
Because you could never spare the time to take us out on a trip.
The discussion was about our son,
and you have started talking about Digha, Puri...
Darjeeling? Where did this come from?
"The sky is overcast, yet the land is dry."
"How do I walk straight with this hopelessness?"
"My body wants to rest on a cool mat."
"There lives an unknown bird in my mind."
"On certain days birds tend to lose their way."
"The birds find themselves alone on an unknown tree."
"Though wet, the body seems to dry up in the middle of the night."
"The question is who is a dear one in this crowd?"
"What is happening?"
"The car drivers cannot make out, who is heavy and who is not?"
"I understand myself best."
"I fall while trying to run from the rain,"
"yet the heart doesn't want to stop."
Wait.
I want to talk to you.
Have you been drinking?
No, I haven't. Move aside. - Hey!
Don't talk rubbish. You smell like hell!
You have become so brazen!
How dare you enter the house in a drunken state?
Do you need courage to drink? All you need is money.
Listen, I am an adult. I wanted to drink, so I drank. Now, let it go.
Hey!
You come home drunk every day, on top of that, all the big talk?
I don't drink every day? - Quiet! Again that rubbish.
Bulti has told me everything.
Aren't you ashamed?
Are you arguing with your mother?
The minute you don't have an answer, you accuse me of arguing.
Talk logic.
I may be drunk, but have I created a stir? Have I? Have I?
Babai.
You are overstepping your boundary. You are crossing your limits.
Hey, what limit? You know everything? Don't you?
You sit at home and know what is the limit and what is not, is it?
You talk like a middle-class housewife!
Go out into the world, and see.
Everyone my age drinks.
Go, go. I don't like all this. - Hey, you will drink,
and make your father proud, is it? Shameful!
Lowlife! Drunkard! Addict!
Don't talk nonsense!
Did I make an application for the blood of an addict in my veins?
Babai! Babai! - Sh*t!
Shameful!
There is something intoxicating in destroying oneself.
I was so drawn to the addiction,
that I did not feel like stopping.
Abir! Hey, Abir!
Hey, Abir! Abir!
Hey, Abir! - Yeah?
Move. What is wrong with you?
Have you become, 'Devdas?' 'Devdas.'
Why? What did I do? - What do you mean?
Last night,
you were drunk and drenched. And lying on the street.
Why are you taking this so far? Tell me?
Where did you go?
To die.
You have lost your mind.
Don't overdo it.
There was a time, you wouldn't touch alcohol.
And now, you drink like a fish!
'There was just one question in my mind.'
'How did I come home last night?'
Are you listening to what I am saying?
'But I could not recollect a thing.'
Will you buy me a drink?
Oh, I did not know there is a wine shop here?
It is an old shop. It's been there for years.
From the days of the British.
Nice. It is favourably located. - Hey, how are you?
'I loved the place at sight.'
'I was surrounded by strange people.'
'As if it was another world.' 'A parallel Earth.'
'I knew no one would bother me here.'
"You have indulged these new thoughts..."
"You are a new being..."
"Amidst glasses of liquor and unsteady legs..."
"You stand in between and wonder where you belong to."
You are going overboard.
Do you plan to live here?
I made a mistake by showing you to this place.
Why? - Ask yourself?
You are turning into a complete alcoholic.
Listen to me.
If you are drink like this.
First, you will go mad,
and then you will become a criminal.
Flush everything out of your mind.
Lighten your mind. Lighten up.
It's been three months.
and focus on something.
What do you mean by something?
I mean, think of something.
Think of getting a job. Do something new. Besides,
I mean,
join your father's press.
Hey, how many times do I tell you I don't like a 10 to 5 job.
It doesn't suit me.
Fine.
You join my line of work.
Look, 7 to 7...
10 to 10...
We work at night as well. Tell me if you are interested?
What work? - Look.
I spoke to a director yesterday.
He wants a smart and bright boy to work on a music video.
What music video? Will I go and dance there?
Hey, why will you dance?
You will help the director.
It is good work.
Listen, no work is menial. - Give me that.
Just give it a thought.
And then where it leads you to? Besides, I am there.
I do not foresee any trouble with all that.
You say? - Yes.
"Oh, baby, let me take you out on a moonlight date."
"I will lavish you with love. Tell me, when will you come?"
"Oh, baby, let me take you out on a moonlight date."
"I will lavish you with love. Tell me, when will you come?"
"Come closer, my friend!"
'It was not that,'
'I liked the work.'
'Still, I had to make a start somewhere.'
'So, I assumed, this is that starting point.'
'This went on for quite a while.'
'After doing a few small assignments such as these, Bancha,'
'took me to meet Shekhar, one day.'
'Shekhar.'
'I landed a job in a mega serial.'
'One without which a Bengali can't think of spending an evening.'
'Dosho Bhuja.'
Move your hands like this.
Just keep your hand like this.
'I never hesitated in working shoulder-to-shoulder with Shekar.'
'I think Shekhar became fond of me.'
Fantastic! Excellent idea!
Who is it? - 'I am Nandini Sarkar.'
'From Express of India.'
'I called you?'
Wait.
Ahem. Why that?
Oh, that? That is my thought booster.
I mean... It helps me to think.
If I think of something interesting, I switch on and... - Oh?
Tell me?
Oh, interesting. I have never seen any other director do this?
Anyway, should we begin?
Yes, sure. - Hmm.
The first thing I would like to know is,
you started your career with television?
So, then...
What was your experience like on the small screen?
'No, father. No.'
'Not even in my wildest dreams can I think like that.'
'The value of vermillion is much more than money to me.'
'Besides, this is a reputed family.'
'As the daughter-in-law of this house,'
'I cannot bring a bad name to it.'
'I won't be able to go with you, father.'
'I can't!' - 'Nilu!'
Freeze!
Oh, fine.
Come on, after this; we will move to the reaction.
Hey, edit the shot.
Hey, now let us prepare for the next shot.
'Light, sound, camera, action.'
'A different world.'
'Just like stories from the Arabian Nights...'
'A king creates a monster on a desert stretch overnight...'
'And everything vanishes in the morning.'
Hey, give me some tea. - Sure.
Milk tea. - Okay.
'Here, what is true and what is not,'
'is not very easy to understand.'
Where are you going? - I am up here.
In that room.
'I could never understand,' - Okay.
'does a mega serial entertain more,'
'or the process of making it?'
This is a good picture.
'As far as the work was concerned, I had no trouble doing it.'
'I would manage the floor well.'
''And what's happening and how do things work,'
'I would try to see and learn.'
I mean, the ones you have to give,
you will have to arrange these.
'I had nothing but work in my mind.'
'Things were just fine.'
Abir, just check on the costumes once. - Yeah.
'Those few years,'
'passed in the blink of an eyelid.'
Brother, what happened to the juice? - Yeah.
Send it. Tell the producer. - I'll get you orange juice.
Hey, list them higher!
The hero's juice. The hero's juice.
Hey, brother. - Coming. Coming.
Listen. Listen.
What are you standing here for? Go, they are looking for you.
Who? Shekhar? - Yeah.
Yeah, I am going. - Go, hurry up.
Hey, hey. When is my drop?
I'll let you know. Buddy, don't play that; the shooting is on.
Silence. Silence.
Hey, don't smoke here. - Huh?
This is the floor, don't light a cigarette here.
After giving this shot,
I get a feeling of deja vu, you know? - How so?
Like you know, Chabi Biswas, 'Jalsaghor.'
Your cigarette is burning.
You can smoke here. - Yes.
[Indistinct chatter]
Give me a cup of tea.
Have you seen Jhinuk? Jhinuk from 'Dosho Bhuja?'
Why won't I see her? I work there.
Oh, I have never seen you on television?
How will you see me? Am I an actor?
I work behind the scenes.
Behind?
Take.
Jhinuk from 'Dosho Bhuja.'
Didn't you watch 'Dosho Bhuja' last evening?
I watched it.
Her husband is back.
Did you get it. He is her biological father.
'Reactions of the common gentry all around me,'
'made me feel that the serial is not just on t.v.'
'it has made inroads into every common household.'
Mother. Oh, mother. Look that is Abir's name.
Oh, mother. Look that is Abir's name.
Oh, I missed it. - Oh, no.
So, things were just fine. Why then all of a sudden,
made you move into film-making?
No, actually, who doesn't want to progress, tell me?
Look, since, I have the talent,
I have the means, - Hmm.
I must put it to some use? - Hmm.
It is a crime not to put it to use.
It is like cheating on oneself.
I was working but,
I felt... Though everything was just fine...
I felt I should do more. I can.
So, along with my work, I started writing a script.
Once I finished writing, I took it to the producers.
By Kalyan, I mean Kalyan Bandyopadhyay. - Hmm.
He liked the script.
He gave the go-ahead, and that was it.
I made a film.
Oh, wow! This sounds like a fairy tale.
I would have had to hear other stuff had it been any other director.
Why? Like what?
Like, I had to struggle so much! I had to suffer so much!
I stayed without food...
No, no... I am...
Look, my script had the power.
And people do appreciate good work. - Hmm.
I didn't have to do much.
Anyway, I have to go somewhere now.
Okay, then let's close the interview here? - Hmm.
Congratulations, once again. - Thank you.
And...
If I think of something, I may call and disturb you?
Sure. - Thank you - Thank you.
Try and talk once.
What is the harm in talking?
Should I give you another one? - Hmm.
I and Jevo,
were at school together.
He came from an affluent family.
He was the Bank manager in a government bank. He has retired now.
I have seen that girl since she was a child.
Simple,
and a talented girl.
She passed her masters last year.
It is hard to find such girls today.
Hmm. - She has a beautiful voice.
She sings very well.
She had come to our house, once.
On Bulti's 'annaprasan,' of course, she was very little then.
Yeah. Yes.
She had come the other day. She is very sweet looking.
I showed them your picture.
I told them that you work in the television line.
They have no objection.
I have kept her contact number here.
Talk to her once.
See if you like her. Later, your father can discuss it with them.
Here. This is the number.
Do you need something else? - Hmm, no.
No, it's okay. - Give me one flatbread.
Eat it.
I'll get the tea. - Hmm.
Hello.
Yeah, I have reached, It's been fifteen minutes.
"I can't see you with my naked eyes,"
"you live in my heart."
"My heart, I can hardly get to know you."
"You are so secretive."
"You live in my heart."
"I can't see you with my naked eyes,"
"You live in my heart."
Why am I into 'Vaishnav' literature? - Hmm?
Actually, when choosing a special paper,
I researched about quite a few subjects.
Initially, though I liked Chandi das...
So simple, yet so touché.
Just imagine,
Chandi Das had written,
'How do I bear this pain?'
'As I watch my bride go to her maternal home?'
Such pain explained in such simple words.
Wonderful, isn't it?
Amazing.
"My heart is lustful,"
"It wanders in all directions, like crazy."
"My heart is lustful,"
"It wanders in all directions, like crazy."
"You are constantly drawing me towards you."
"You come alive in my dreams."
"You live in my heart."
"I can't see you with my naked eyes,"
"you live in my heart."
I love to sing.
Mother had enrolled me in a music school when I was a child.
And ever since I have been in love with music and my teacher.
Take a look at this.
You drew this?
These days I hardly get the time.
I hardly ever sit with a pen and paper.
I sketched after a long time...
For you.
"I know you are there for me,"
"and so, I live."
"The more you come closer, the more I love you."
"The more I know get to know you, I feel mystified."
"I can't see you with my naked eyes,"
Is this from the 'Ramayana?'
Ravan's brother,
Kumbhakarana?
I love to sleep.
At times, I feel like sleeping for six months at a stretch?
Sleep is a great intoxicant. Even more than alcohol.
Do you drink? - Yeah?
Do you drink?
I'll tell you?
Look, ahem...
Go. The thing is drinking,
is not a bad thing. Social drinking is not bad.
What is bad is when a man cannot hold his drink.
I hate that. I don't do that.
I dislike all this.
Since childhood, I have never seen anyone drinking at home.
My father would avoid such things.
Yes, there was a time, my father used to smoke, but,
he gave it up in a day.
Oh, your father?
Nice.
However, there are very few people with willpower like my father.
Is it? Okay.
"I know, I will always have you by my side..."
"Forever and ever."
"I know, I will always have you by my side..."
"Forever and ever."
"Just you and me, no one can ever come in between us."
"There is no other obstacle in our path."
"You live in my heart."
"My eyes cannot see you,"
"because you live in my heart."
"My heart, I can hardly get to know you."
We need a flat to stretch our limbs...
For example a four bedroom unit.
And a car.
So that when we enter the studio,
people should notice us.
One has to maintain a certain lifestyle.
I don't care to impress the Jonases.
We can stay well with less also.
If you get more, the greed for more also increases.
The important thing is to stay happy.
Besides, if one is too ambitious in life,
one misses out on the small joys of life.
"You live in my heart."
See you. - Yeah, see you.
I'll call you later. - Yes, call me.
Yes, yes. - Sure.
What's up? What have you started?
What have I started, brother?
This is life, after all!
When does it start, and when does it...
Look, Ujjal Mukerjee.
'My time was changing.'
'Along with commercial movies,'
'a different kind of Bengali cinema was happening.'
'And my dormant desire to make a movie,'
'started raising it head then.'
Ujjal Mukerjee is a great director?
He makes good movies. I love them.
What?
Half his movies are remakes,
and the rest are unwatchable.
A movie that doesn't touch the heart, is not cinema.
They don't touch your heart,
but they impact me?
Oh, that means your heart is weak, and can be touched very easily.
Hey, why are you overreacting? Come on.
'My time was changing quickly.'
'As I said,'
'nothing is permanent.'
The butterfly effect...
A butterfly flits on a branch,
and because of that, in a completely different place,
there take place a complete chain of events.
A simple butterfly flitting can cause such a huge storm.
My life also started with a simple event.
With a necklace...
It turned my life upside down.
A mere necklace.
An ordinary necklace.
'Yeah, tell me.'
Hey, Raima doesn't want to wear jewellery.
'Hey, what will happen if she doesn't wear the jewellery?'
She wore them once already.
'Oh, so there is a complete scene playing out there?'
Yeah. Please, talk to her.
'What is it with you all?'
Could you not manage on your own, one day?
Won't you be able to run even
the smallest errands if I am not there for a day?
Don't do that. - Huh?
'You talk to her.'
'Reason with her.'
'Should I ask her again?' - Ugh!
Yes, yes, explain the situation to her, on my behalf.
'She won't listen. Okay, fine. Let me try.'
Ugh! Do you have to work on a holiday?
Hey, listen. Don't call again and again. - 'Okay.'
I am in the midst of an important task. - 'Okay.'
Dear, take. Take, take, play.
Listen, if I am not there for a day,
Tollygunge will drown in darkness.
Yeah, I know. - Did you not see?
Raima, please wear the necklace.
This one?
No, dear. This is very heavy. Huh!
Look, there is already a mark on my neck.
This one is very pretty. I'll wear this one.
Listen.
Look, we will have to give this girl, a good role this time.
Let's see. - On a long track...
Just fit her in.
Oh, Priya?
She had worn a lovely red outfit at the party in your house.
Hey! For how long have you been working?
Don't you have any sense?
Thanks to you, I have been listening to the rants
from the channel guys since morning.
Don't you understand the concept of continuity?
Hey, the client had provided this jewellery.
The channel is threatening to fine us.
I had already written it in the script.
How do you work?
Will, your father, come and put the heroine's ornaments on her?
Hey, speak properly.
I asked her to wear it. She refused.
What do you mean by speak properly?
Should I sit you down and pray to you?
Did you inform anyone here?
Yes. I called Shekhar.
Hey, are you on drugs? When did you call me?
Are you on drugs, rascal! Why do you come here?
The channel guys call and abuse me every day!
'It started again. For the first time in front of so many people.'
'We are spending lakhs and crores of rupees!'
'Why do you guys come here?'
'You don't work properly!'
'Say something!'
What are you gaping at?
Listen, keep your job to yourself.
Hey! I will blacklist you from the industry.
You have lost your mind?
Otherwise, does anyone behave like this with a producer?
Are you a hero? Huh?
Don't you care?
What are you looking at?
Do you know what a huge lobby they have?
You will never get work again!
This is not a mistake, it is a huge blunder!
As they say, you should not stand in front of a speeding train!
I don't think I have made a mistake.
Why would you think? You are a warrior!
You are ready to use your weapons at the drop of a hat.
A confrontationist attitude doesn't work.
You must learn how to manage things.
Now, tell me, what will you do?
I will make a movie.
I will direct.
He will direct a movie! Rascal!
Is it your maternal grandparent's personal enterprise?
Have you ever directed a local community play?
I will do it. - You will direct a movie, indeed!
Making a movie is no child's play.
Do you understand anything about making a film?
Cinema is the most beautiful flower in the world.
Do you understand?
Meaning?
'Godar.'
Er... I thought you used an English word.
Why do you laugh?
In Bangla,
have you ever written the script of a telefilm.
Let's go. Everything has to,
begin somewhere.
I worked for so long, I have learned a few things.
Won't I be able to make a movie?
You will make a film?
Where will you get a producer? - You will get me one.
You always brag about your connections.
Everyone knows you by your name.
Won't you be able to get me a producer?
You work on the script.
I will speak to sir.
Nayan Pictures.
'There was no dearth of effort.'
'I worked day and night, to work on the script.'
'But I could not write anything concrete.'
'I was very confused.'
'I could neither think of the right words,'
'nor could I arrange my thoughts into the correct flow.'
Hey, give me the ball! Pass it on!
What are you trying to say?
In the last two months, we have hardly spoken twice?
We haven't met even once.
And now you say, you have written only two scenes?
If you work at this pace, it will take you one year.
I just told you. Don't you understand?
That is not the way to write a script.
It is a human brain,
it needs time.
I need time. You must give me time.
'Can you not understand my situation?'
Our family members are fixing our marriage, Abir.
Everyone is fixing a date.
Try and understand me. Everyone is asking questions?
Don't you know that I live in a joint family.
'What are you doing?'
Should I do just anything to satisfy your relatives?
How is that possible?
Listen, my mind is in turmoil, don't bother me any further.
I am not feeling good. I have no time to talk rubbish. Let it go.
What do you mean by you don't have time?
You have no time to listen to the person you
will spend your life with?
Hey, what are you doing? Go down!
'It felt like a circular maze.'
'And I was getting sucked into it slowly and gradually...'
'Everyday.'
'I existed in two states,'
'one, before getting drunk...'
'And the second, was after getting drunk.'
'I was drowning in addiction.'
'And the wires in my brain were beginning to snap...'
'I understood, I won't be able to do anything.'
'I was mentally exhausted.'
'Blank.'
'I was unable to think.'
'Had I dug my brains out and died,'
'I wouldn't have been able to write anything.'
'I was not in my right mind.'
'That was perhaps the peak of,'
'my bad time.'
'An useless attempt to write since morning,'
'and getting drunk in the evenings.'
'That was my routine.'
'That day the pub was,'
'a little less crowded as compared to the other days.'
'I couldn't believe my eyes.'
'What is this?'
'This is a complete movie script.'
'It was completely ready.'
'Each scene, each shot, each frame...'
'If I can lay my hands on it?'
'Remarkable.'
'Unbelievable! Awesome!'
'Very well-written.'
'What flawless detailing.'
'Someone seems'
'to have poured his entire life experience into the script.'
'The more I read it, the more smitten I felt.'
'That which I was trying to articulate for so long,'
'it was right in front of me,'
'on this sheaf of papers.'
'I could clearly see the movie in my mind.'
'Is this a script?'
'This is a poorly written script!'
'Why? It is excellent!'
'I told you to look for a job.'
'Look at me and the progress I have made!'
'And you! Are sitting there with a useless script!'- 'This?'
'Forty thousand! I draw a salary of forty thousand, do you get it?'
'And you! Bloody struggler! You are writing a script!'
'You have gone mad...'
'With that useless script! I have nothing to say to you.'
'What are they saying? Is this script really no good?'
'It is a bad script!'
[Indistinct chatter]
'It is a bad script! Bad!'
'It is a bad script!'
'That was a dream.'
'And what I have in hand, is real.'
'I won't waste any more time.'
'I started copying the script word-by-word.'
Let's take a risk.
We will invest a little less.
Even if we face a loss, we won't regret it much.
Hey, buddy.
Did you ask Jasbir when will he give the money?
That scoundrel hasn't been picking my calls since yesterday.
Dial his number.
May I come in, sir?
Sir. He is my friend. The one I spoke to you about.
He wants to make a movie.
He used to assist in a serial.
He is a good boy, sir. I mean, he is a serious boy.
What happened?
He is not picking? - Not picking?
Where will he run?
I will drag the scoundrel from the depths of the Earth!
You do one thing. Go to his house in the evening.
Sir... Ahem...
It is an original script, sir.
I mean, you probably, haven't heard such a story before.
Okay, keep it here and go.
If you could please, listen to the script, once?
He is a very talented boy.
He... He has written it. It is fantastic, sir.
Hey, so what if he has written it? Should I lick it?
Can't you see, we are at work?
Can't you hear when spoken to once? Go now. Out!
Hey, can you not hear?
Didn't I ask you to leave it on the table and leave?
So, you completed the script, Abir?
But you did not narrate it to me even once?
Which script? - What do you mean by which script?
The one you have written?
Oh! That? Let me finish it first.
Let them say yes.
And what if they say no? What then?
'So her impression was correct.'
'They did not contact us for three months.'
Tell me. - 'Yeah, Bancha here. You come down tomorrow.'
[Indistinct] - Hello?
[Indistinct] - What?
'Listen, listen to me carefully?' - Now?
'Yes, right now.' - Do I have to come now?
'Yes, yes. Right now. Come soon.'
'Come here right away.' - Yeah, yeah. I am coming.
Come in.
There he is.
This is the boy.
He has written the script.
He wants to direct the movie.
Do you know who he is?
Hey, won't I know him? He is Kalyan Bandyopadhyay.
He is a legend amongst the Bengali directors.
Have you written this?
'I felt as if someone was stabbing me in the heart.'
'I wanted to say no.'
Brilliant!
This,
after a long time,
I have read a power script.
So, should I make this movie, brother?
Absolutely.
If he can execute it properly,
you will gain a lot.
But he has never made a film before?
Sir, I have assisted. I have worked for seven years in a serial.
Yes. He is an educated boy. He is working...
He will do it alright.
What say? Won't you be able to do it? - Yes.
He will do it, sir. No problem.
Well, son...
I give you a chance.
Make a good movie.
Thank you.
'There was no looking back after that.'
'I formed a directorial team and got to work.'
'For the first time in life, I felt I was doing something worthwhile.'
"I still think the context is getting mixed up with the waiting."
"I have to reappear for an exam after the results are out."
"So, like you.... I am also treading carefully."
"Think about it and let me know where is the source?"
[Indistinct]
'The movie was a hit.'
[Indistinct]
'Things were moving very fast.'
'Banglar Binodon'
'The new Bengali film wins hearts of viewers.'
'The director wins hearts with his first film.'
'WOODS NEWS' 'Return of the classical era of filmmaking'
'I became a popular face.'
'Just like that. Just like that, I became famous.'
'Hey, wake up quickly! You have to go to Delhi.'
'You don't know what has happened!'
How long does it take to create a Universe?
And how does it take to destroy it?
'My universe was shining.'
'There was light. A lot of light.'
'I could hardly open my eyes.'
'But what if someone blows once and the light goes out?'
'Though no one knew, at least, I was aware,'
'that my fancy universe is surrounded in a cloud of darkness.'
'I lived in fear.'
'I would feel someone may suddenly come and grab my neck,'
'and say, bl**dy thief!'
How many pieces are there, father?
It has... Wait... Look...
You will spill the syrup. - Can I eat one? - No.
No, put it here. You don't have to take it out.
Your mother is coming.
There. There. There. - Bulti.
Your mother is here... This one...
Bulti, I asked you to take out the glass plates? Have you done that?
You didn't! And you are standing here and gossiping?
Go and take them out.
Have you brought all the sweets?
Here. - Oh, no. Did you see that father?
Mother, can you not talk without raising your voice?
The meaning of what you say will remain the same,
even if you lower your tone.
Okay, fine. I got it. Go!
Darn! The boy will get married, and the girl has to do all the work!
Oh, my! My!
As if she is a princess!
Have you brought curd?
Curd? - Curd.
Curd... I mean... This is...
He doesn't eat curd. Jeeban doesn't eat curd.
What if he doesn't? Others do!
You did not get curd with the sweets. Appalling! Go and get it.
Oh, mother. Hey, Abir. They are here.
Hey, please, come. Come. Come. Come in.
Come, come, come.
"Something in my heart cries out..."
"Today is a day out of my tough schedule."
"In my heart,"
"I feel the touch of love."
I am sure he is going to meet a heroine.
Anything? - Do you see his ways?
Yes, mother?
Can't you go tomorrow?
Hey, that Rohit is eating my head.
They want to sign a contract with me.
They will make four movies. So, the meetings and talks.
You are here; I will be back soon.
"All my wishes mix with dust..."
"Someone from the moon caressed my path."
You did not tell me?
How happy you are?
That depends,
on how happy you are?
Oh, dear! Is that so?
Obviously.
My happiness will depend on how happy you all are.
Tell me?
How happy are you?
Sister-in-law.
Oh, that... Ahem...
Tell mother. Ahem... I will come back for dinner tonight. Okay?
Hey, take. Have some sweets. - Yeah, sure.
I will pay you an advance for the next film.
You sign the contract today.
Four films, back-to-back,
exclusively, with you.
But my script is not ready.
Hey, if it is not ready, then write it.
That is commercial work...
I have never done it, and I don't want to do it.
Look, son...
I have given my word to the financiers.
Hey, this is a massive headache.
Did you consult me before giving your word?
This is film-making not 'pan masala.'
One has to use brains.
I am not in a mood for making a film.
Hey, why did you get up? - I'll see you later.
Hey, sit. We need to talk. - Hey, I'll see you later.
Hey, Abir, son... Listen.
'Why did I go there that day,'
'is still a mystery to me?'
'I couldn't understand anything.'
'A lost chapter from my life,'
'is about to reveal itself today.'
Is it fine?
Sir.
Thank you.
Do you enjoy it?
Hmm?
I mean... This great fame?
Your picture on the front page,
of the newspaper?
Becoming a star overnight?
How does it feel? Good?
Well... I guess.
Your ways seem as though,
you don't care much for this fame?
It feels like a weekend trip,
to Digha.
You may or may not go? Huh?
Tell me the truth?
Is the concept of fame that unimportant?
When you visit the film parties,
you immediately become the centre of attraction.
People fall all over you.
They want to click pictures with you.
Don't you like it? Be honest.
Yes, who would not like that?
You would also have loved it.
Isn't it?
Yeah?
When will you come?
'I will leave in another half an hour.'
Yes... Just... I will leave in a while.
I am also,
into writing.
I write stories.
So...
Will you listen to my story?
No, I will have two pegs and leave in half an hour.
No, I mean... You have to make your next movie.
This may,
come in handy for your work?
I don't have the time.
Listen, it is a good story.
At a go.
For your last film,
you found a readymade story...
Similarly, for your next movie,
you may find a readymade story. Script.
A proper script. - What are you saying?
Do you know?
Ahem... Anyway... Leave all that.
Let me tell you the story.
The story is very interesting.
A boy,
is a movie director, just like you.
At times he comes and drinks alone.
One day, all of a sudden,
he finds a script.
He liked the script.
He found a producer and made a film.
So...
Then there was an interesting event.
The minute the movie released...
Houseful after houseful. It becomes a sensation.
He also got an award.
'Hey, wake up quickly! You have to go to Delhi.'
'You don't know what has happened!'
How do you like the story?
Trust me; I did not want to take it.
It was just lying here.
And at that time my mind was not working.
I was not able to write a single line.
I can give you money.
I mean, how much will you take to remain quiet. I will pay you.
I will pay you right now. - Hey, scoundrel!
You have earned a lot of money? Haven't you?
Are you flaunting your money?
I don't want a single penny.
Instead, just go and tell people...
You have written that script, but I have.
What do you say?
You have written it? - Yes.
I have written it! Bl**dy! I have written it!
It is the work of my life.
The people who are patting your back,
go and tell them that all that belongs to me. It's mine. Mine.
Go and tell everyone.
Will you be able to do it?
Hey, can you do it?
Will you be able to say it?
Yes, I will tell everyone. - Huh.
I will tell everyone.
So, you are scared?
You are quite the coward.
Listen.
It's fine that you took the script.
It's just fine! It's just fine!
It was your destiny.
And do you know something?
Not a hair moves without fate's will.
I am telling you, I had no option at the time.
I was not able to pen a line!
I had no option. - Hey, crazy man!
Why are you afraid? There is nothing to fear.
What I could not do in my life? The place I could not reach,
you have reached that place and proved a point.
You did the right thing by taking the script.
What is the big deal?
If someone,
points a finger at you,
than tell them,
the script was lying near my feet...
It is my father's property!
Just tell them!
And try and give that script to another person.
Let's see if he can make a film like you did?
No one can do it.
No one can do it!
Hey!
Does your mind hurt?
Do you see blue and red lights?
In your eyes? - Can you hear music?
No? - Music?
People will say, these are signs of lunacy.
But I am telling you...
You are a genius.
Sir!
Sir, listen up!
Sir!
Hey, what happened?
Someone call the doctor.
[Indistinct chatter]
Oh, dear!
'I think so...'
'Everything was getting mixed up.'
'Whatever was happening to me all these years,'
'felt like pieces of the same story.'
'Have you been drinking again?'
'Don't lecture me. Give me some money.'
'Babai, come this side.'
'Let your father work.'
'Let him be. Why are you calling him away?'
'Will you make him a writer like yourself?'
'What is there to make? Writing is in one's blood.'
'Wow!'
'That means he will also not work when he grows up. Is that it?'
'Listen, Chitra.'
'He is my son.'
'He hasn't taken birth to work like a clerk, as others do.'
'He will make it big.'
'Mark my words.'
'You lost this work as well!'
'You could not submit the work on time?'
'Had I written commercial stuff,'
'then I could have given it on time.'
'Everyone wants common stuff!'
'After seeing a person in that condition,'
'the memories I had,'
'somehow began to disappear.'
'Get out!' - 'Ugh!'
'Where is the money?'
'Hey, are we throwing you into a well?'
'Look,'
'the boy's father is an acquaintance.'
'They have a two-storeyed house.'
'Though I heard everything, I never really understood any of it.'
'I understood whatever was explained to me.'
'He is your father.'
'The person you stayed with all this while,'
'he was a demon.'
'He wanted to kill,'
'you and your mother.'
'Complete bast**d!'
'You had painted such a rosy picture then?'
'The boy is talented! He writes very well.'
'What will you do when he comes out of the asylum?'
'So that he can,'
'stay there for another fifteen years,'
'Huh!'
'I have arranged for that.'
'Did I make an application for the blood of an addict in my veins?'
'Babai!' - 'Sh*t!'
'Hey, will you stay here?'
'Hey!'
'Hey! Wait!'
The award goes to,
Mr. Abir Roy, whose film is selected,
by the honourable jury members,
as the most promising film of the year.
For his Bengali film, 'Phulki.'
This was my entire life in one moment.
As I said,
though the moment in reality, is one single moment,
what goes on in the mind,
is like forever.
'If I call out to you from a distance, with your nickname?'
'You softly wave your hand?'
'I look at you with restless eyes...'
'The two paths, like two illustrious lips,'
'have come and blended with the busy city.'
"It takes little time to get to know a new story."
"Not everything feels right at all times."
"I see happy clouds hovering over my unhappy heart."
"Things are getting better with each passing day."
"Come let's look for those happy moments."
"The story hurts a little at night,"
"who is pulling the strings today?"
"Who is writing the story, and who is not?"
"Who is in love, and who is not?"
"Who is making up and who notices it?"
"Who threw him of track?"
'Gentle sunrays calm the roaring clouds.'
'You and I are on the opposite banks of a river.'
'The two paths have blended in a grand way.''
"So I say,"
"I did not think before speaking..."
"My body is dry, yet my heart is moist; why?"
"I am weeping, and so is the sky!"
"Turn around and look at me."
"Don't jump into the water, it's an illusion!"
