Cigarette smoking is harmful to health.
It causes cancer.
Cigarette smoking is harmful to health.
It causes cancer.
Ma'am, the bill is attached to the newspaper.
I'll take the payment tomorrow.
Ma'am, where is the soap?
Ma'am, I'm coming.
What shall I cook, ma'am?
'Like how slow down, ladies and school kids are famous in buses'
'in the same ways, housewives are famous.'
'They prepare delicious tea and food.'
'Your favourite radio station 98.3 Mirchi.'
'And Mirchi has brought you the amazing contest 'Boudi number one'.
'You send me your recipes and the best recipe...'
Good morning, Ranjeet.
Good morning, ma'am.
Have you cleaned the fish?
Yes, everything is ready. You buy vegetables.
I'll give it to you. - Okay.
Take it.
Oh no!
What's the amount?
Your vegetables cost 162 rupees.
Take it.
Give me two rupees.
Hold on!
Why two rupees?
She should give you 12 rupees.
You'll get 162 rupees, right?
You'll return her 38 rupees.
You are purposely fooling him.
No, I mean...
Look, ma'am...
You both are customers.
But everyone is not the same.
Which daily soaps are you watching nowadays?
You talk so much.
Yesterday, I watched it on Sab TV.
Madams are like mothers.
Wow! You made me Mother Tara.
Anyway, quickly give it to me.
I've to prepare 'Chitol fish Muitha'.
Great! - 'Muitha'!
'Muitha'? - Yes.
Nowadays, no one cooks 'Muitha'.
Do you remove the bones yourself or get it done by someone else?
No, I do it by myself.
I remove the flesh with the help of a spoon.
I leave some flesh with the bones.
The next day I make 'Kanta Chodchodi' out of it.
It tastes awesome.
My mouth is watering.
After my wife passed away, I've not tasted these for many days.
Where do you stay?
I stay right behind here.
It's nearby. Share your number with me.
Share your number with me, I'll send it to you someday.
You give me the feedback.
I told you that she is like a mother.
You'll get a customer easily.
You can't get a mother so easily.
Is it correct? - Do your work.
Yes, it's correct.
Tell me.
'Open the door. I'm standing outside.'
Okay. Wait. - 'Come and open it.'
Wait, give me some time. - 'Come quickly.'
Move. - You didn't go out at night.
No.
I returned at midnight and went out jogging in the morning.
If mother comes to know that you didn't go out at night...
I called you so that mother doesn't come to know.
I was preparing a presentation for the start-up.
Which start-up?
What do you mean by which start-up?
That Lifestyle Home Solution App, right?
Yes. - Are you serious?
Yes. It's going to be my bread and butter.
Listen. Have you seen the newspaper?
How will I see? I came just now. - Who is there?
Again!
You were out all night, right?
I wouldn't have gotten into trouble if Poulomi was here.
Listen, I'm warning you for the last time, Puchkan.
Stop staying outside at night.
And start focusing on your work.
I was working, that's why I was out.
For you, work means being a labourer.
What did you say?
Does Sourish work as a labourer?
Is he not a labour who is working in print media?
Job means to serve.
No, your brother writes. Did you get it?
He writes for women. Is this writing?
Don't talk rubbish.
Listen, you will sit with me in the evening.
It's urgent.
Don't forget it.
Mother, you're going so early?
There is a half marathon for women.
Were you caught? - Yes.
Did you know it? - Yes.
Listen.
You don't like what I write, right?
You should write what you wanted to write.
I'll like it even more.
Is your article published today? Please keep the newspaper out.
I'll read it.
Start writing a novel or publish your poems.
Instead of behaving like a good boy,
try to live for yourself.
Sister-in-law, please prepare tea for me.
He has grown up.
Okay, I am giving you. Go upstairs.
Father, here is your tea.
Okay. - Today, I gave you biscuits.
It's sugar-free.
Here is your tea.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Hey!
The bottom has five letters and the third number is six.
If you lose it, you become a slave. Tell me the word.
If I get it, I'll easily solve the rest.
Self-respect.
Bravo!
You know the answer.
Why don't you make Puchkan understand? - Genetic!
What?
Have you ever made mother understand anything?
Or anyone else?
I got your gene.
And Puchkan got it from my mother.
What are you doing?
Tea.
I kept your tea.
Your tea.
My...
Oh no, it's cold.
Oh no! What is this?
Have you planned to kill me? Is there a secret plan?
What's the name of your story?
Did you complete it?
Story!
Writing articles has killed the thrill of my life.
You write articles so well.
Is there an interview in Ashbagan today?
Show me.
Get up!
Your tea.
Listen, I kept your breakfast on the dining table.
I'll get ready and go with Sourish. Okay.
What happened?
Get up.
Let me sleep. I returned just now.
Now don't sleep.
If you sleep so much, no one will marry you.
That's fine.
Marriage is a responsibility.
Okay, then, let me call and tell Namita.
It's 'Aloo Paratha'. I smelled it.
Hmm. - Yes.
I kept it for Pritish's mom, but I don't know if she'll eat it or not.
Please have it.
Let's see how much I can have it.
No, if you don't eat, I'll feel very disappointed.
Do you need pampering today?
Who wrote 'Mon ke bolona'?
I don't know.
Sunil Ganguly?
You're wrong.
Shankha Ghosh.
Oh yes!
Completed, ma'am.
Hmm.
Stand up!
What's going on?
Silence.
Nothing.
Nothing! What did you forget?
Spelling.
Spelling. What spelling?
Does the spelling of celebration begins with C or S?
What do you think?
Colour begins with C.
It doesn't begin with K.
My aunt stays in the Philippines.
It begins with Ph and not F.
This is very confusing.
It's a big problem. Okay.
I can tell you.
But for that, you've to sing a song. - Song! - Yes.
Okay.
"In the blue sky."
"There are white clouds."
"Plays hide and seek."
"Today there is sunshine and shade in the paddy field."
"Plays hide and seek."
Very nice. Everybody clap.
Yay! - Superb!
Now, stop kids.
Everyone, back to work.
Sit down.
C.
Is it done? Okay, I'm coming.
Yes, it's the same. It's the same.
'Aloo Paratha.'
Oh, 'Aloo Paratha'. Show me.
Wow! - Nice aroma!
Wow!
I've to call an emergency meeting.
I mean, I think we must write an article on Navanita Debsen.
We must rethink...
regarding the page.
Your wife!
Awesome!
After eating Bablu's lunch,
we don't like any other food. - Right.
You know Bablu, right? The food supplier.
Cunning!
What is the name of your wife?
Poulomi.
It's tasty. - It's delicious.
Take it.
Very nice.
Take it.
It's awesome.
It's delicious. What did you add to it?
Show me.
Slowly. - I won't get it afterwards.
Tell me, what did you add to it? - Take some more.
No, I can't take it any more.
Tell me what you added. Did you add Chat Masala? - No.
I added carom seed powder to the flour and made a dough of it.
Did you see it?
This is her secret.
You're correct.
Manisha said today, you helped a student with an answer.
Ranu, it's just standard two.
She was unable to write the spelling of celebration.
It's not a big deal!
How can you say that?
There is a rule for everything.
You can't disobey the rules and the system.
I don't like the system.
No, you can't say this.
If you want to be a teacher
you can't speak like this.
I didn't want to be a teacher, but my father wanted me to be.
Everyone is a teacher in my family.
My cousin, my aunts, and I too had to become a teacher.
In Bengali families, girls are supposed to be a teacher
and boys are supposed to do government jobs, so glamorous.
Luckily uncle told you
otherwise, I'm sure you would have been cooking now.
Why are you saying this?
Is cooking not work?
Save me, God!
I get worried if my cook doesn't come for a day
whether I'll cook or go to school.
You cook every day.
You're very talented, so you do it.
Now eat quickly and correct the notebook.
You've to submit the marks the day after tomorrow.
Come.
You didn't eat today, right?
Why don't you say anything?
I can't say. I couldn't say in the school even.
From tomorrow I'll give you two lunch boxes.
Both will get finished.
If you give three boxes, all three will get over.
I can't say.
And I won't be able to say.
Don't worry, eat the cutlet now.
Okay, you told them to cook in less oil, right?
Nowadays, no one cooks with less oil.
I was joking. They cook in less oil.
It's not good to add more salt.
I've to add salt as it's tasteless.
I told Mouni so many times to add salt according to taste
but god knows what she does.
Mother. I think Mouni adds potato afterwards.
That's why it absorbs salt.
Yes.
She is an expert cook.
It's good.
I'll write this tip in the article next week.
Is it a newspaper with tips?
Stop talking rubbish.
My grandma used to say don't speak rubbish while eating.
I wanted to say
that I need someone to look after
the accounts and files of my NGO and I was thinking about Poulomi.
You can join me in the NGO after school. You've done B.Com, right?
I forgot everything after becoming a teacher.
And mother after coming from the school I...
You'll cook, right?
Did your parents educate you about cooking?
Do I want you to waste your time in the kitchen?
So weird! Being a modern girl how can you...
I like to prepare food, mother.
If you come with me to the NGO,
it'll be a great help to me, Poulomi.
But she said that she will prepare 'carrot halwa' tomorrow.
Hmm. Tell me.
I called you before. Why didn't you receive it?
I was busy.
Why do you sound different? - Nothing.
Tell me.
My mother-in-law said that tomorrow
after school, I've to go to the NGO with her.
'Wow! That's great!'
I've heard that mothers-in-law don't allow to step outside.
Your grandma was the same.
'She is supporting you so much.'
Everyone's choice is different, mother.
I like to stay at home.
I like to do household chores and cooking.
Father used to get angry when I was cooking there.
'He used to get angry out of love.'
'Tell me.'
Listen, you also have to think about your career.
My career has to be according to my choice.
I don't like to teach.
From tomorrow I've to look after the NGO's account.
'I can't make you understand. I spent all my life at home.'
'You don't know how bored I get.'
You're not understanding what I want to say.
Naturally, anyone will get bored living in the house all the time.
Anyway, leave it.
Tell me, when will you grow up?
You have been married for two years.
'Didn't your mother-in-law say anything?'
'Doesn't she wants to have grandchildren?'
Mother, good night.
Did you fight with your mother?
Hmm.
I sometimes think
that I'm not doing anything according to my choice.
And if we don't do anything according to our choice,
we can't enjoy success.
Am I right?
"I'll buy you 'Aalta' and ribbon. You're my beloved."
"I'll not allow you to be without a necklace."
"I'll give you a necklace to wear."
Look, articles on women are written in every newspaper.
We must try to write it differently.
I mean, it should create different readability.
Look, you can write it in poetic form.
There is an issue of copyright.
Poets of today are not like the poets of yesteryears
who roam around with a hanging bag.
Now they wear jeans and T-shirts and are ready
to earn more. - What can be done?
If they don't get food to eat, they'll become famous.
Now as they became famous, they've to eat to live.
Don't worry about the copyright.
We have a renounced poet, Sourish.
Sir, shall I say something?
Yes, say but be quick as we've to take a break.
I was saying that it's about girls.
I mean about women,
so it'll be better if we add some more ladies to our team.
They're there, but if we can add some more,
we can understand properly what girls want.
The way a brand decides which oil should we use
or what we should eat similarly, we'll decide what girls will like.
Right? Anyway, let's take a small break.
Sir.
Oh no! You came!
Sir, my staffs are on leave.
I added a new menu so I came to inform you.
Did the cooks are also on leave?
What kind of tasteless food are you serving?
Look at him.
His wife prepares lunch for him every day.
She works.
But she prepares his lunch box in the morning.
And the food tastes delicious.
You are paid for it, right?
If it continues, I'll be forced to change the food service.
No, sir. Please don't do this.
I'll look after the matter, sir.
Hmm.
Let's take a break. - Okay.
How was the rice flour 'roti' today?
Were you able to eat it?
Yes, I had some.
It was good.
It was hectic today, had a small break.
Half of the people
don't want to eat food from the food delivery apps.
What's the name of that centre?
I don't know the name.
It's that delivery thing which delivers to offices,
the owner is Bablu.
Oh yes, by the way.
How many hiccups did you have today?
Why? Were you missing me?
Not me but my boss.
He mentioned you. - Whatever!
He was scolding Bablu while mentioning you.
What are you even saying?
Hey, I'm telling the truth.
Why are you smiling?
I'm thinking about how happy I'd be if I did this job.
And he's struggling.
Do you know what I feel?
There are the wrong people at the wrong locations in this world.
He has a problem with his GPS.
Whatever I want is wrong
and whatever I get is not what I wanted.
My GPS is searching for only one location now.
Is it?
What is it?
Which one? - Yes.
Is it? Do I have to tell you?
Sir?
Sir, me.
I mean us.
Bablu, Bablu's kitchen.
We work over there, sir.
Okay.
What do you need from me, I bring food from home.
That's the problem, sir.
Yes sir, I mean.
Your Mrs.
I mean sister-in-law, I mean.
There's only one request, sir. - Yes, one request.
I don't understand anything and I
getting late for the office. Can you be more specific?
I was saying, sir.
Don't bring food from home.
We'll provide you with your food.
I mean, without any cost.
Just don't bring food from home, sir, that's all.
What does this mean? - This means.
If our order from the office gets cancelled,
then we'll lose our jobs.
Sir, Mr Bablu had told us not to come here.
But if you don't help us with this, then you know.
Didn't I tell you not to come here?
Huh?
What's this?
Sorry sir, please don't mind all this.
Actually, they're scared.
No, it's okay.
Sir, I was saying.
We're already here, then should I tell you something?
Yes, tell me I was looking for a partner for a long time.
Someone who can handle my business professionally.
Sir, I wanted to say that will sister-in-law agree?
Does she work anywhere?
Yes, she does work.
What type of partnership? - 50-50.
Actually, I want someone who can cook food with a passion.
Yes.
I mean, I can't relate to cooking I'm from a different background.
I don't know. I'll let you know. Okay?
Can I go now? I'm getting late.
And...
I can't sacrifice your sister-in-law's cooked food.
But I'll definitely have your food someday.
Okay? I'll go now.
Good morning.
Hey, you're always on your phone, right?
What did you watch today?
I learned about an eggplant recipe today.
It's very different and amazing. - Wow.
While reading the recipe, I was thinking...
There are so many sayings for food in our Bengali culture, right?
Yes, it is.
Like how an eggplant will burn when put into oil.
I mean, there will be noise if we put the eggplant into oil.
We apply salt and sugar, and that releases water.
And when oil comes in contact with water, it makes noises.
This saying makes me so happy.
It's common to use food related sayings in our villages.
Like, this one.
You can't cover the fish with leafy vegetables. - Correct.
Good morning ma'am.
Good morning. - Good morning.
The parched rice is over by the time the salt arrives. - Right.
Hey, I've got a message, you go, I'll come.
What happened?
You are still very handsome.
Did you remember that all of a sudden?
You'll look handsome if you want to romance all of a sudden, right?
Oh!
Can't we talk about our marriage?
Yes, that could be, but will you get
out of the office every day like this?
Do you remember when we first came here?
Of course.
The day when you thought about proposing, but ultimately I did.
Just like an impatient lover.
Hey, I've ordered a brownie, what will you have?
No, I won't have anything.
Sure? - Yes.
So...
Just tell me.
Will you do business?
What? - Will you do business?
What if it's related to cooking?
One minute.
Cough it out, I'm tensed.
There's nothing to worry about, listen.
The theft of my food in the office has a good side to it.
Bablu, the guy who delivers food to the office
has given a proposal after hearing so much appreciation
for your cooking.
He was looking for a partner
and he told me about it and I thought, why not you?
If you get into business with him...
What happened?
Did you think about this?
Yes, look.
We can't ever live according to ourselves, right?
We can't work according to our desires.
I want anyone of us to do so.
Hey, it's okay.
What are you doing, everyone is looking at us.
Let them.
What about mother's NGO?
We'll see about that, first, talk to Bablu.
What's happening? Don't do this.
Sit, go.
One point of font here. - Okay.
Send it to them after this. - Okay.
Hello?
Is it Bablu?
I'm Sourish Chatterjee speaking.
'Yes sir, go ahead.' - Yes.
I was saying, can we meet up today?
'Yes sir, definitely.'
'Is something wrong?' - No.
It's about the partnership.
'Oh, yes.'
'Is evening at your office fine?' - No, not in the office.
Melbourne cafe near the office.
'Yes, I know that place, I'll be there.'
Sourish? - Yes?
Have you heard something?
It's about the chit-fund.
What? - That scam.
About that motor company.
Our owner is attached to their management.
I'm just scared about that.
You're scaring me now.
I joined this firm leaving the editorial because of the hike
I think I'll have a heart attack listening to you now.
I hope the good.
Actually, I was under a lot of pressure after hearing this.
I also hear some rumours that
these companies will shut down overnight.
A rumour is a rumour, right?
Don't think much about a rumour.
Is it that easy?
So many companies, so many people.
Taking such a loss will so many
business just go away in a poof?
No.
You go and finish the work, there's much to be done, go.
Madam, tea. - Please finish this, okay?
Come, let me introduce you to everyone.
Good morning everybody. - Good morning.
Morning.
She's my son's wife, Poulomi.
I've requested her to look after our accounts for a few days.
Oh, wonderful.
And this is Sathi.
Juhi.
Mr Parth and Smita. - Greetings.
Didn't I tell you about the special doctor camp?
That's her brainchild.
We generally do free eye check ups.
Malaria Dengue and all that. - Yes, we do these check ups.
But from the next week, we'll also have a doctor for medicine.
Okay, someone local?
No, my son.
It's just been a year since he graduated, and he's very kind.
He's so kind that he couldn't be in the house
so he'll be here once a week.
Hey, don't say that.
How many kids nowadays are willing to do charity?
And you've to admit that he's very kind.
It's okay, now please stop.
And don't say that, Smita.
My daughter-in-law is a modern woman
and she's willingly come here to help us
and she's a very bright student of accountancy.
Really? - Anyway, let's see.
What do we have today?
Here you go ma'am.
I didn't think that she'll agree to it so quickly.
I didn't think that I'd receive such a big offer.
Both of you couldn't think of it, but now that it's happened.
I want you both to treat me with some good food.
But in the meantime, let's celebrate with this foreign food.
I was requesting to give me a weeks' time.
Actually, I've to make some legal papers.
You can take your time too.
No. It's okay.
You can do that later.
Let the work begin, we can do that later, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
"The sound of the toys have called us."
"I've kept my heart safe in the house."
"Tears will rise once the stove lights up."
What is this state?
"Let life cook at a low flame."
Hey, what are you doing?
Let me do it.
Okay come.
"It's time to wash our hands under the fresh sunlight."
"The sadness will become like spices."
Leave it, go over there.
It's very dirty over there.
Look at the state of the utensils.
It won't work like this.
"Let life cook at a low flame."
"Plate it out nicely when it's ready."
"Let's relish this dish."
"Good times have come to hold my hands."
"Let life cook on a low flame."
You could've not committed tomorrow to Bablu.
I know, I forgot that tomorrow morning is the
inauguration of the clinic.
I didn't find out either.
Let's do this.
Let me tell you that your aunt is very sick
and you've got to stay with her in your Uttar Para house.
No.
Can I leave the house by telling a lie?
Am I really telling you to go and stay?
I'll just say this at home.
Yes.
But this is the first time when somebody
isn't taking a chance to stay at their father's.
Didn't I tell you not to tell father's house?
Oh yes.
That's right.
Your parent's house.
Yes.
Okay.
You do one thing.
Call your cousin Ranu, and ask her if you can stay over there or not.
This is a good idea.
And Ranu has a family there may be an issue.
Let me call Vidhisha.
She lives alone, it will be fun too.
And tomorrow morning,
I'll come directly to the clinic from Mr Bablu's kitchen.
That'll be best, right?
That may be, but in the end, do remember that I'm your last option.
Isn't it? - Of course.
Will you come tomorrow, right?
Let's see how her aunt is first.
She didn't even say anything to me.
You keep saying that you're not the typical mother-in-law
then why is it hurting your ego if she didn't tell you?
I'm not the typical mother-in-law.
Won't Sourish inform me while leaving?
Won't Poulomi inform her mother while leaving?
I'm not a typical mother-in-law even if you try to make me one.
What I wanted as a mother, I want the same as a mother-in-law.
What's the need to create such a scene
on whether someone said something or not?
Sister-in-law's aunt is ill
will she go there or satisfy your ego, tell me?
Puchkan, don't say a word.
And you keep mute your entire life. - Hey.
Help me, what are you looking at?
I do it every day, do it.
You just keep blabbering.
Fast, fast, quickly, give it to me.
Hey, why is this oily?
My god.
Mr Ram, come here and wipe this off.
Not with your towel.
Why did we buy the tissues? - Oh, okay.
Listen, let me tell you something.
Just as good food is important,
presentation is also important.
I mean looking good is also important, understood?
Isn't it?
Why are you standing still over there? Help him.
It's time.
Take the documents and present them over that table.
How many people have come?
Poulomi, have you come?
Is everything fine back at home?
Yes, better.
Actually the sodium and potassium were fluctuating.
Why did you go alone? Why didn't you ask Sourish to drop you?
Sourish had only dropped me.
Is it?
Sourish, had you dropped her?
Yes.
Oh Poulomi.
You didn't know as you were late.
My son has told me that he'll gift an MRI machine.
Just imagine.
All the elderly can have an MRI for free.
That's a very nice thing.
But I think
that we need a USG and an X-RAY machine more, right?
Everything will happen gradually.
Everyone will give whatever they can and however possible.
Right.
I think the most important thing we need now is an ambulance.
But I don't know who has a big heart like me in my generation?
Hey, can't we just bypass this heart?
I would like to say something.
An ambulance has been arranged.
My son Sourish has said
he'll gift it to us.
So now, nobody else can gift this.
Sourish?
I mean.
See, not a word will come out of his mouth.
He's very shy, doesn't want to flaunt.
Be quiet.
I want to say something to everyone.
Please listen to it carefully.
You heard about the arrangement of an ambulance.
A medicine specialist will come every week.
A camp will be set up, and the check up will be free.
I don't want anything else but
please spread the word to your friends and family.
Why did you speak... - Give.
About the ambulance without discussing it with Sourish?
We don't have to buy a new one.
It's better if nobody knows. We can buy a second hand too.
The question isn't about first or second hand.
Won't you ask him whether it's possible for him or not?
Does buying something for his mother requires asking him?
It's okay, father.
Father, I'll be able to arrange it, it won't be a problem.
Why?
I'll get some tea, okay?
Do you mean the loan will be done, right?
Yes. - So, do you think...
I should buy a new one instead of an old one, then?
If you're buying it then buy a new one.
Will you sell the older one to your brother?
Hey, I'm buying an ambulance for my mother's NGO
and not for my leisure.
Why would I sell my car?
Wow.
Two EMI's? Be careful.
Have you thought about a model?
Ambulance.
This is your key. - You take it, mother.
Thank you. - And a delivery goodie bag.
Thank you. - Goodie bag.
Put on a garland once you are done with the 'puja'.
Yes. - Yes.
When I return in an ambulance
put that garland on me.
What are you even saying?
Come. - Come.
Come here. - Be quiet.
Come here, he's clicking our photo.
Sir can I click a photo. - Father, come here.
No more, it's too much.
Hold this.
We'll cook for so many people in this little oil?
I had marinated the meat long back.
It will secrete oil and then just some poppy seed paste at the end.
If we cook with poppy seeds, then our wallet won't be happy.
Then how were you cooking white gravy all this time?
Did you not add some poppy seed paste or cashew paste?
No. We used to dry watermelon seeds and powder them.
And add peanuts into them blend them into a paste.
Wow, I've learned an amazing thing today.
We'll cook with that today.
Background noise.
I've heard the same thing, don't know what to do.
We'll have to go with our son and his wife
I had just admitted my daughter into an English medium school.
Nothing will happen, right?
What happened?
The ED case.
If he gets arrested now, then. - One minute.
So the news about our CEO being involved is true?
Everyone is talking about it.
Hey.
Will they lock the building?
I have just bought the flat.
Have to pay EMI's every month.
Now I've to suicide.
This market is really big.
I liked it very much here.
Do your shop for house yourself too?
I love buying groceries especially,
buying fish and fresh vegetables in the winter.
I like it a lot.
We buy fish from Mr Bishu. - Okay.
Let me introduce you, he's on the right. - Okay.
He has great fish, and most importantly, it's cheap.
Be it 'Hilsa' fish or small fish. He sells great fish.
'You can show your eyes.'
Mother. - What happened?
Mother-in-law.
Where? - If you come then it'll be good.
She'll kill me if she knows I'm here.
Let's go from here. - No, take me to Bishu's shop.
Fish shop, quickly.
Won't she go to the fish shop?
No, she eats fish but won't go to a fish shop.
Quickly, please.
So will you go to your in-laws? - Stop it!
My god, today was something.
Hey, give that to me.
It's heavy, be careful.
This one has fish.
You go and wash the fish, go.
Come, let's wash the fish.
'I won't forget what happened today.'
This is my favourite.
What about you?
Today's fish item is good.
'What I was thinking about is'
'I'm trying new recipes.'
It looks so good.
What's that?
Nothing, nothing.
Both of you bought groceries in the morning it's such a nice morning
we both will start working.
Mr Bablu used to pick at us a lot. - Is that so?
What I think is that no work gets done if someone is so quarrelsome.
It's the same regarding cooking, mood is very important.
If you have a bad mood then your food won't taste good.
And if the mood is right,
then that goodwill be very delicious, right?
Yes?
Isn't it?
Let's go.
Ardhendo Ganguly had invested in our company.
We didn't know anything.
He has been arrested.
And I think that the company will shut down now.
Tomorrow we'll release our last new paper.
Hey, why are you worried?
Didn't management say that we'll still run the online edition?
They won't just shut down suddenly.
Have you come?
Close your eyes. - What happened?
Please.
Okay?
Open.
Do you like it?
Suddenly?
Mr Bablu has given me a cheque today.
Do you know?
I was thinking about something today.
Earning from the job you love
feels amazing, right?
You tell me.
Have I ever thought of gifting you from the school's salary?
Look at it today.
Even if you haven't played it for so long.
Hmm? - Hmm.
What happened? Mood off?
I'm just tired, dear.
Tired, okay.
Can we've some vodka tonight?
All the tiredness will go away
I'll get it, okay?
Give.
Listen, I think about everything.
What happened to you?
Don't you feel like working?
What happened?
Can't I take a break for a day?
Mr Bablu.
Mr Ram isn't feeling good today.
Why? - Don't you know why?
He visits his native place every year during the cooking puja.
I know, but did I say that I won't give him a leave?
My god.
You don't remember anything.
Last year, sister-in-law died a few days
after the cooking puja.
Last year you had something, but who'll do the puja this year?
Mr Ram.
I don't know much about the cooking puja.
Will you teach me?
From this year we could do the puja here with everyone.
What do you say? - Absolutely.
So from this year onwards we'll do the puja in Bablu's kitchen.
Definitely.
Hey Ranu. - Yes?
Didn't you say that you used to do cooking at your native place?
Used to? It still happens.
I just can't go there any more,
but I light a lamp in front of the stove and have parched rice later.
Tell me, what else happened?
What else happened?
We cook for the entire night during the 'Sankranti' month of 'Bhadra'.
And the next morning,
the first day of 'Ashwin' remarks the rite of mourning.
That day you can only have the food you had cooked the previous day.
And you need to have it when it's cold.
Hey, listen.
Tomorrow is cooking puja.
You must come, please.
I had a lot of fun while cooking today.
Tomorrow is the rite of mourning.
Hey.
Sorry.
Rite of mourning, meaning cooking puja?
Yes, actually, I mean.
My colleague does the cooking puja.
Is that so?
In today's time...
do they observe cooking puja happen in a city?
Mostly the maids do it, right?
That's what I've heard.
They also work, mother.
They don't just sit idle.
Sourish, what I wanted to say is
Sunil won't come tomorrow. Will you drop me off?
Yes, okay.
Thank you.
I think you're being too possessive for Bablu's kitchen than others.
Is that so?
Is that all you saw?
And what about when mother demeans other people?
And why does she listen to us by standing outside the door?
In the villages, there are a lot of snakes.
So we worship Goddess Mansa and this earthen stove.
Yes, do you know our mothers used to say that
a snake would come and sit inside the stove on that day.
Weren't you scared? - No.
People in the villages don't get scared.
All nonsense.
Don't you fear ghosts? - Hey.
Ghosts are different.
Whether it's a snake or a mongoose,
we've to co-exist with them.
"Hail the month of Bhadra, hit a six on a full toss."
"Add five spices to the curry of jealousy."
"Kheshto, from that house calls us to"
"drink cold drinks on the banks of Yamuna."
"Radha's happy wearing a sun glass in Vrindavan."
"Dive into the holy water."
"Hold tight when there's a snake in the house."
"If life wants to bite you a lot..."
"then put some chilli sauce in your heart."
"He just speaks too much."
"The heart dances like a frog because of that."
"Like a frog, like a frog."
"Like a frog, like a frog my brother."
"Look at the line of my kite"
"I've wrestled arms in the morning."
"My feet fell onto eggshells, who gave the cheapest eggs?"
"Banana leaves of Goddess Mansa are scattered on the road."
"In the ground and the market, please protect me."
"Give us all the madness dear Goddess."
"You'll save me from the lightening strike from falling on my head."
"The heart dances like a frog because of that."
"Like a frog, like a frog."
"Like a frog, like a frog my brother."
"Hail the month of Bhadra, hit a six on a full toss."
"Add five spice to the curry of jealousy."
"Kheshto from that house calls us to"

"Like a frog, like a frog."
"Like a frog, like a frog, my brother."
"Like a frog, like a frog."
"Like a frog, like a frog, my brother."
Yes, tell me.
Hello?
Where are you? You didn't come?
No.
I couldn't come, I had some work.
Aren't you working from home for the past few days?
So?
Won't I have other work?
No.
I didn't mean that.
'Are you disturbed?'
No
I'll talk to you later.
Hey, come on, everyone is waiting for you.
Yes, I'm coming.
Hey, Ranu? - Yes?
What did you get today? - Here it is.
Fish fry from 'Benfish'.
Have this, it's delicious.
- Oh my god - Be careful.
What happened? - Sorry, actually.
We danced a lot over at Bablu's yesterday.
My entire body is in pain.
You're speaking of Mr Bablu a lot.
What?
What are you even talking about?
I'm just telling you what I've heard.
Hey, listen
I was saying didn't you learn to dance? - Yes.
Why don't you teach dancing?
'Jhuma' has left.
It has been a long time.
Hey
I remembered something about dancing.
Do you know?
My parents never took me to the dance class
with the enthusiasm that they had while taking me to karate class.
Especially my father.
That's strange
I don't know if that's strange.
Because I always think of this
does a woman's freedom mean to be like a man?
Do we have to let go of everything feminine?
Actually this.
This entire topic is very it's very complicated.
This feminine and masculine.
The entire topic is very imposed.
Sourish is very homely, you know.
The article he writes is about women.
He writes it with a lot of detail, taking into mind everything.
You'll think that a woman might've written it.
Hey, look how late get while talking to you
I've to check so many notebooks, I'll do that once I've eaten.
Is your next class off?
No, I've a class at standard one section C. - I-C, okay.
Oh!
I forgot to tell you one thing.
Manisha was talking about her brother-in-law's wedding.
Why don't you do the catering?
We don't have such a big infrastructure, Ranu.
Why don't you try once? Wait.
They've mentioned 300 guests.
If you can do this, then you'll get something big and
she'll also get the point with her in-laws, right?
Not father-in-laws house but in-laws.
Happy? - Right.
So?
Are you sure?
Should I do it? - Yes, do it.
Wait, let me call Mr Bablu.
Mr Bablu!
What's the matter?
Have you called me all of a sudden?
You'll have tea, right?
No.
Have some biscuits.
Butterfly biscuits?
'Sondesh' biscuits?
The ones with semolina? - Yes.
I can have those.
Mister?
Two 'Sondesh'' biscuits.
On the way.
Actually I can't say everything in front of Mr Ram and Hussain.
So, while having some tea.
Sister, your biscuits.
Thank you.
Brother, biscuits?
Won't you have tea?
Go.
Okay.
Please tell me.
You can say it freely, I won't mind anything.
Why would you mind?
Tell me something.
How many boxes in a day do we supply to the offices?
In my opinion, it's 450, right?
Now say, not every day but some days
what if we supply about 900 to 1000 boxes?
Can we do it?
So much so sudden?
We'll have some pressure, but why? Is it another office? - No.
Wedding.
Whose?
My husband's.
Catering for weddings.
My god, that's a big menu. - Yes.
And we should look like a pro.
I didn't get it.
No need to understand.
Just tell me whether we can do it or not.
Impressive indeed.
Thank you.
You used to work on an everyday newspaper?
Yes. - That definitely means a resignation letter
or any other official document.
Yes, I mean.
You know about that.
Actually if we don't get these documents
from an ex-employee, you understand.
It's really difficult for us.
Okay.
What are you even saying?
Hi Poulomi.
I've met you after so long.
Actually, I had worked at a school and my grandma is ill too.
Oh, grandma, must be very old? - Yes, she's 90.
Mother?
Oh, I was saying that to run our clinic properly,
we'll need a lot of funds which we don't have in our account.
We can raise funds from NRI donors
but before that, we've to apply for FCRA license immediately.
And we've got to get it done with the audit, too otherwise,
we'll have a huge problem in the next financial year.
Wait for a little, you just said so many things at once.
Poulomi, you weren't present, so I didn't tell you
that we're organising the fundraising.
We've organised this event.
Yes, but we need funds for this event too.
We could do this in a more professional and organised way.
Poulomi, I think you're very stressed.
There have been a lot of issues at home, right?
Leave it for a few days, we'll take care of it.
Okay.
I'll get going then.
Okay.
One, four.
Nine, two.
- Yes.
She'll call by the reference of Manisha.
Manisha? - Do not take my name.
Okay?
Manisha was saying that they wanted to try two dishes.
Two of our best dishes whoever goes shouldn't forget it. - Okay.
Will they taste it before placing an order?
Yes, big events are like this.
They're trusting us by giving us this big order, have a look at it.
Let's go.
Wow.
Amazing.
Extraordinary.
Do you have something to say?
It's very good.
Manisha did tell us
that you had worked at an event at her school.
You have a partner, right?
Yes, Poulomi Chatterjee. - Okay.
A woman?
I mean, does she look after the cooking?
We both do, but she takes care of it more.
Oh
I thought that only men become chefs at bigger places.
Unbelievable, isn't it?
After spending your entire life in a kitchen
your heart just wants a male chef?
No, that's a different thing.
Such a big event, and that too a woman.
Will she be able to do it? - Wait, wait
I'm speaking to him.
Mr Bablu, the order is confirmed.
Please write down the menu. - Yes, sure.
Yes?
It's hard to get a job for a few days now.
Until there's a verdict.
Our security guard Montu didn't receive last month's salary.
He was asking me for money.
I gave him about 1000 or two.
My situation isn't that great
I couldn't inform my family yet.
What did you say?
Work from home.
Thank god we still have the online version.
This won't work, you know.
I need to do something out of work.
Freelance copyrighting.
Scriptwriting, I mean those.
The thing is that I've lost all the contacts while I was working.
I used to think of writing a lot after work
but look at me now, I can't sleep at night.
Many times, I can't even write a single line.
You're still good as sister-in-law is still working.
Think about me.
My wife is a housewife.
Home maker.
What?
No, nothing.
Listen.
Our order for the wedding has been finalised.
The party has given us an advance.
Great.
Very good.
Congratulations.
I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now, okay?
What happened to you?
Anything wrong?
No, nothing.
Sure? - Yes.
Sleep.
Come in. - Have they all slept?
Yes.
Freshen up, I'll get you some food. - Okay.
I think...
The investment will be final.
Yes? - Yes.
Financiers have agreed.
Congratulations.
I have some good news too.
What? Am I going to be an uncle?
Does a woman mean only one good piece of news?
Very sorry.
Tell me, what is it?
I'm doing business.
Food business.
I've joined someone as a partner.
Your brother only had arranged for everything.
And we've received an advance payment for catering.
Wow sister-in-law, you didn't say this before.
Sorry that I couldn't say this earlier.
That means...
We both are running a business.
From the next year, there will be Vishwakarma puja at home.
Why Vishwakarma?
Why not Mansa puja?
Mansa?
You mean.
Snakes?
Yes, yes, snake.
Mansa puja is done with cooking puja. Did you know?
No.
Put some coriander.
Come on, work.
The business is growing
I've said this earlier and I'm repeating it
that presentation is very important.
Yes.
I don't want any stains on the utensils.
After washing the spoons...
Wipe them with a tissue.
And when you're decorating the counter,
make sure that the paper is straight.
Okay. - You should come too.
Don't you've to follow up?
I have my worries.
No, I can't go.
But all of you should just rock it.
Yes. - Yes.
Come on, open the gates. - Yes, open them.
Let us go in.
Hey brother, open the gates, I've lost my job.
We've been put on the streets. - What is this happening?
No one wants to talk with us.
Yes, open the gate.
Hey brother, listen to us, please.
Tell the owner to come out.
We should take even more orders.
We can handle the pressure well.
Yes.
Yes, no one is even ordering from the office.
We'll have to focus on the catering.
What do you mean?
I don't know, but does everyone get their food now?
I mean, earlier, it was only Sourish.
Does nobody want to order?
No, I mean.
Sourish has become so busy now
that I couldn't talk to him properly.
Anyway.
Forget the office...
We're getting a lot of orders from weddings.
We've to take on such events, like...
Baby showers, birthdays.
You know, quite some people, why don't you have a look?
Here are your ironed clothes.
T-shirts, shirts, everything is here.
What happened?
Why are you lying like that?
Nothing has happened.
Tell me the truth, what happened?
Did Romita refuse to get married?
Get up.
The investors left us hanging at the last moment.
All these efforts have been wasted.
We've to start from zero again.
Do one thing.
Get up.
Get up!
What happened? - Sit straight.
I have an idea.
My business is running well.
Why don't you make a food delivery app for us?
I'll talk with Mr Bablu.
We can't give you huge sums like your investors,
start small at first.
What do you say?
You thought this for me, sister-in-law?
No. I thought this about myself.
Can you imagine I'll have my food delivery app?
And you don't have to sleep like this all the time too.
Isn't it?
Get ready.
Thank you, sister-in-law. - Yes.
Come.
Mr Bablu? - Yes.
Him?
He's very skilled.
Pritish is my brother-in-law.
Hello.
He'll make the app I was talking about.
Cloud kitchen app.
What happened?
Why are you giving me that look?
Is he a genius, okay?
Let's go, I'll explain the rest inside. Come in.
Do you mind anything?
Can you bind both the videos together?
Can it be done? - Yes.
Are you here?
Is it work from home today as well?
No, I'm not feeling good.
What happened? Do you want to go to the doctor's?
No, not that serious, it'll be fine.
Hey Kajol.
Where is Kajol?
Mother has sent Kajol to the shop before she went to the office.
Okay, then I'll have to make breakfast.
You're not feeling well for quiet some days now.
Even the article isn't out.
It's been many days.
Since it's going digital,
we didn't get the paper for the past two weeks.
Yes, it's taking some time as it's going digital.
And I couldn't even write.
It's been days since you've written.
This doesn't happen, though.
Do you know what I think?
I think it's best if it gets digital.
Now everyone reads on their phones. - Who said that?
Can't you see father?
He needs a paper in his hands every morning.
What happened?
Nothing, I just want to be left alone.
Why are you talking like this?
I don't even want to speak.
Why are you doing this to me?
I've noticed that you've been acting like this for the past few days.
Doesn't this hurt me too?
The tea will spill over.
And please behave according to your age.
Do you behave like this outside too?
Wait a minute.
I've never behaved according to my age with you.
You've cared for me like a child too.
That's what we both are.
Do you want me to act the same with you like how I act with others?
Many people respect me outside should I bring it home?
Bablu respects you a lot outside and I don't respect you enough?
What are you even talking about Sourish?
Can you please leave me alone?
Hello? - 'Hello Mr Chatterjee.'
'I'm speaking from Unayan bank.'
'You've failed to pay the last month's EMI.'
'Sir, if this happens this month too then we've to generate a notice.'
Yes, I...
'Please follow up the procedure immediately'
Yes, I know, I'll.
Let me see what can be done. - Okay, sir.
Hey.
Poulomi said that
you're ill.
No, I am just fatigued.
You can just skip the office by saying you're fatigued.
Do you remember our childhood?
You couldn't skip
school by just saying you have a fever or stomach ache.
She used to force us to school.
Increase the fan's speed.
Hmm. The fan made me remember one thing.
Sourish?
Did you forget to pay the last month's electricity bill?
I received the green bill.
Maybe.
Should I make you
some turmeric milk?
Poulomi, please stop running to the kitchen at every chance you get.
Why are we here?
Just because he's a bit under the weather,
do you want to make turmeric milk for him? My god.
You both should go out and have some coffee. You'll feel better.
You should've been born abroad.
You sound foreign.
You won't find any house help abroad.
You've to go into the kitchen and...
Even if you're fatigued, turmeric with warm milk doesn't help.
You have to spend time in the gym.
Bablu, Who is he?
Bablu is from Uttarpada.
He is her cousin brother.
Hmm. - Take it.
Thank you.
We're packed in the wedding season.
Hmm.
It's all because of you.
We're doing it together.
Did you come so early today? Don't you've school?
I have a surprise.
I resigned from my job.
Had you discussed this with Mr Sourish?
Should I tell you what I discuss with my husband?
He'll be very happy. Do you know that?
Sorry. - No, it's okay.
I got late. Sorry.
You've to compensate for it.
I'm already saying sorry.
Thank you, but you've to do one more thing.
Tell me.
Close your eyes.
Poulomi, please. - No, please
I'll gift you something, please close your eyes.
Okay.
Open.
Should I open my eyes? - Yes.
What does it mean?
I'm lucky that you were with me.
Now I'll do what
I wanted to do.
You resigned from your job all of a sudden?
Couldn't
you inform me
before resigning?
I don't know anything.
You can't get a job so easily.
Ma'am, sir will have coffee, right? - Yes.
Oh no!
I can't believe it.
Even I can't believe it.
In fact, I'm unable to recognise you, Sourish.
I thought you'd be very happy.
When I said this to Bablu. - Again, Bablu!
Why does Bablu come into every discussion we've had?
Let's stop talking about Bablu
in our discussions.
You can talk about any other person like.
What was the name of your school boyfriend?
Yes, I told you that
you can resign from your job and do what you
are passionate about.
But that.
The situation was different then, and now the situation is different.
What is different, Sourish?
Poulomi, a person's life doesn't remain the same, it changes.
Our life changes every day, every moment.
That's what I want to know. What has changed between us?
"Being alone and taking in all the pain."
"He doesn't hold my hand."
"My heart has turned into ash in"
"the clouds after the false wounds."
"The cloud doesn't rain."
"I'm shocked, keeping the window open."
Have you checked everything? - Yes.
Is everything fine? - Yes. - Everything is ready.
"I pick up all the broken talks and"
"and try to mend them."
"Talks don't move ahead any more."
I was saying that
let's go to the wedding.
"That cloud doesn't rain."
No, I don't feel good.
That's why I'm telling you.
Don't you like to know how people are reacting to our work?
Don't you follow the cinema artists nowadays?
After the release of their movie, they all scatter.
So, why don't you come for a visit too?
"He doesn't hold my hand."
Okay, I'll go.
Will you go? - Hmm.
I've applied a new cologne too
to attend the wedding.
"Whatever pride I had"
"I send them to roam around."
"There's still something left behind."
"Tell me, how do I let them go?"
"The happy face that was in the mirror."
Here you are.
Everyone is praising us.
Everyone likes it.
I'll handle that side, you handle this side.
'Paturi' is very delicious.
Is the food good? - Yes, it's delicious.
Let me introduce you to someone. - Okay.
Where has she gone?
Just a second. - Okay.
Listen, could you come here. - Sure.
Let's go.
Ma'am, she is my business partner, Poulomi Chatterjee - Greetings.
Is that so?
Did you know that cooking isn't beautiful and
sincere without the touch of a woman.
Thank you.
How was the Paturi?
Awesome. - Thank you.
Surabhi, he's Bablu Dey and she's Mrs Poulomi Chatterjee.
Is he her Uttarpada's brother?
Did you know about it?
Even after knowing everything, you.
Well done!
So.
Now our daughter-in-law will cook for someone else.
And with whom?
My god.
By Seeing Bablu, I feel it's Mr Bablu's business.
Yes, I know that I seem to be the owner.
An owner but of a third-class hotel.
Let it be now.
Let's go to the room.
Yes, I'll go to my room, that's where I'll have to stay now.
All my reputation has been tarnished.
Gone!
I thought we could create a culture.
"The colourful birds are getting back."
"They're silent when it comes to flying."
"How easily do the others live, why"
"is my life so hard?"
"Even the high tide which come daily has to go back."
"Not to my house."
"That cloud doesn't rain."
"Being alone and"
"take in all the pain."
"She doesn't hold my hand."
"My heart turned into ash"
"by getting false wounds."
"That cloud doesn't rain."
Where are you going?
To work.
Didn't you feel sorry to resign from the school?
I did
but I felt more joy in doing this work.
Everyone's happiness depends on different things, mother.
You won't go.
You won't go anywhere.
I won't allow you to insult me in this way.
I'll go, mother.
Yesterday when you insulted me
and spoke about my culture, I didn't say anything.
Like how insulting me is your freedom.
Similarly, I going to my workplace is my freedom.
I'm going, mother.
Why one?
Eat more.
Wait, let me give you.
There are so many in the box.
Here, eat them.
I told you so many times not to eat sweets.
But you won't listen, right? Now eat them.
Eat the whole box.
It's sugar-free from Balaram's.
Poulomi got it. - Sugar free?
And what about the organic and sugar-free jam I got you?
You didn't have that even for a single day.
Talking about sugar-free to me.
And you, Mr Genius.
Why do you spill food?
I've told you so many times to use a napkin or tissue paper.
That doesn't fiddle with your food like this.
Eat properly, or else go.
Get up from here.
Where is your brother?
Did he also go without eating anything?
Listen, let me tell you something.
The system which I've created in the house
the discipline which I want to see, if you don't follow that
then please tell me, I'll go from here.
What is so important that he had to go empty stomach?
Brother didn't go to work.
Brother doesn't go to the office any more.
He goes in search of a job.
He has gone to do the same today.
What does that mean?
Why does a green bill come, mother?
The EMI for the ambulance failed before the inauguration last month.
Why?
Brother has lost his job.
It's been quite some days now.
Why don't I know about this?
You would've known if you had paid attention.
Saturday's paper doesn't come any more,
we don't talk about his writing any more.
To save your status, what's happening in one's life,
how they are feeling isn't important any more.
It's okay, Puchkan.
Now stop it.
I don't say anything ever.
Okay, I won't say anything more, alright.
Brother didn't give me the money from my start up.
Sister-in-law gave me that.
Will you like to have 'Sondesh' biscuit?
That day mother behaved in such a way.
I'm very sorry, Mr Bablu.
Leave it.
I don't mind it.
Mothers are like that only.
I never inquired.
Who are there in your family?
My mother was with me.
It's been four years
since she passed away.
I have a distant cousin brother.
Now I'm alone.
Don't you feel lonely?
Yes, I do.
But...
I feel better staying alone.
I don't have to take anything from anyone,
I don't have to give anything to anyone.
I'm doing great alone.
Today I'll go to Uttarpada, to my parents' house.
Do you feel bad?
I'm there for you.
If you want to say something
then you can do so.
You can even call me.
Mr Bablu, you knew that Sourish's office is closed, right?
Did Mr Sourish tell you?
The green bill for electricity
failed EMI
that's why that day you
had asked me to inform Sourish
when I told you about my resignation.
Right?
Leave it.
Do you want to watch a movie?
You'll feel better.
Mr Shaan.
Mr Bablu, just a minute.
Let me tell you something.
Didn't you tell me that you'll always be with me?
I know that you're always with me.
Thank you for that
from the bottom of my heart.
But you're just my friend.
There is only friendship
between us
and work.
No.
I didn't mean it like that
I wanted to say that
No, even I didn't mean to say that, actually...
I'm a very simple woman.
When I cook
I feel better.
I just wanted to be clear, that's all.
But people don't understand each other, they tend to misjudge.
But we are good friends
for all our life.
Will you please sit? I need to talk to you.
Didn't you feel the need to tell me about losing your job?
What happened?
I didn't know that I'll lose my job all of a sudden.
I thought
maybe the online version would work.
Okay.
You lost your job but you'll get one soon.
You keep searching and I'll look into it too.
Wait, don't go.
Sit, there's more to talk about.
Puchkan was saying
that Poulomi has gone to Uttarpada to her father's house?
It's her parents' house.
What?
No, nothing.
Yes, she has gone.
Why?
Listen.
When people stay together, they have their differences.
She has even made a mistake.
Didn't you stop her?
No, I didn't. - But why?
Is there no system in this house?
I didn't stop her because
if I stop her, then I'll have to stop
you for many things, too, mother.
And one more thing
please don't search for a job for me.
I might not work any more.
I always heard that
we can't be respectable without a job.
There aren't any respect even after a job.
It's better
to do something according to my choice.
Brother?
Are you fine now?
You've become
very weak dear.
So how is
your work going on?
My...
Work is going on fine.
I'm thinking of changing my job.
Why? But Poulomi...
You didn't tell me anything.
What is there to tell you?
I wanted to talk to her privately.
Yes, sure.
Go and talk.
You can go upstairs.
I planted beautiful plants there.
Your mother
never allowed us to talk alone.
Do you remember?
She must not trust you.
You knew
that I was not able to convince them.
But I wanted you
to tell about yourself.
If you say that you love me, it's a way to show respect to me.
I couldn't do it.
I know
it's my mistake.
But it doesn't mean that I don't
love you as I couldn't say it to you.
I still love you.
What do you want?
That day mother shouted at me
but you didn't say anything to her.
You were excited to do business with Bablu.
I told, Poulomi. I'll tell mother again.
You also shouted at me because of Bablu.
I was jealous.
Jealous!
Sorry.
I know it was my mistake.
I never saw you
with any other man.
I was never
so masculine.
During my childhood,
when I used to cry when I fell, mother used to say
that's why you're crying like a girl.
After that...
whenever I fall or I get hurt,
I directly run towards the wash room.
Do you know,
during my childhood, I liked my mother
applying make-up?
I used to tell my mother which Bindi to apply to.
Mother used to get angry, she used to say that
why are you so eager to know about girls' make-up.
I couldn't make my mother understand that
I like it.
Now.
I was working for a women's newspaper.
I enjoyed it.
I liked to write it properly.
I liked stories and poetry.
I thought I'd write after I grow up.
I'll publish my novels.
I wanted to study literature.
I've to be successful.
I've to earn a lot.
I've to get a job.
But it didn't happen.
I studied Economics.
While doing all these things
while fulfilling all these things.
I took the male ego seriously.
That's why I made a mistake.
I wanted to tell you this so I told you all these things.
I'm really sorry, Poulomi.
It's my mistake, I won't repeat it.
Today is the
inauguration of the ambulance.
You'll come with me.
Will you not go? - No.
I'll go home.
You'll go home.
You'll surely go.
But before that, attend the event.
No, I can't face mother.
I can't talk to her. - You don't have to talk to her.
I'm not taking you for that. - Then why do you want to take me?
You spent so much money on it
and it will be presented in front of everyone
and will you not attend it?
I went to the bank.
Hey!
People will stare at us.
Let them stare.
Once again
I want to show my heartfelt gratitude to all the donors.
You know that an NGO works with the help of your donation.
We've opened a clinic.
And we've also arranged
an ambulance
with the help of someone.
And we would like you
help us in the future too.
Thank you.
Well said.
You're awesome. - Very nice.
I've to impress everyone so that we can receive more donations.
You were saying
that they won't come because of their busy schedule.
There is Sourish.
Are you fine? - Yes. - Well done.
Well done. What happened, Sourish?
Why are you so late?
We all are waiting to congratulate you.
Congratulate! For what?
For...
Nowadays kids have
a very big heart.
He is asking for what.
For the ambulance.
Exactly. - Let me clear up one thing.
If you want to give credit to anyone for the ambulance, then
she's my wife, Poulomi.
Yes, the matter was that
there was some issue in my office for a few months.
I mean...
I lost my job.
I was unable to pay the EMI.
For a few months, Poulomi was paying the EMI.
The ambulance is saved because of her.
By the way, she is now self-independent.
But...
what are you saying, Sourish?
I couldn't understand anything. - Mrs Surabhi.
You didn't tell us anything.
You guys come with me.
Yes.
Where? - Come, I'll tell you.
Where will you take them? - To the hell.
Let's go and see.
Excuse me.
Stop.
Come.
Which place is this?
I don't know, but...
I think I know it. It may be...
My mother's place, but I'm not sure.
Come.
Do you know this place, Sourish?
Hmm.
You're correct.
Your uncle's house and my parent's house.
You came here once when you were very small.
That's it. Only once.
You must be thinking, why I didn't bring him here after that?
Right, Poulomi?
Not only Sourish, but Pritish has also
never visited his uncle.
Poulomi, have you ever heard me talking about my parents?
You didn't hear.
I don't think
anyone from here attended your wedding.
You might not have observed it but your families have observed it.
See it properly, Poulomi.
This is my birthplace.
I grew up here.
Look at it properly. Can you match it
with me?
Now can you understand why didn't I bring them here?
But mother...
Is our...
present possible by forgetting our past?
It's easy.
Poulomi. It's easy to say.
You guys spoke a lot. Now let me speak, please.
What a day!
My siblings would fight
to eat one more Roti.
And eggs were cooked by cutting them in half.
In the evening, there was lots of noise on this street.
Men used to drink alcohol and hit their wives.
I always saw my mother
cooking all the time. Only cooking.
My mother had no life of her own.
My father bought a stove
when he got a better job.
After that, we went to a two-room rented house.
And from there, I wanted to leave my past,
the low standard environment scream, noise, abuse...
and scarcity.
I don't want anyone to know my past
I became strong and separated myself from the people of my past.
Cooking, again, that cooking!
I never valued cooking.
I thought the flame of the stove kills women.
After my marriage, I accepted my in-laws as my family.
I made my family according to my choice.
I thought that if I had a daughter
I'll never allow her away from it.
She will work outside.
But I've sons.
When you came to this house
as my daughter-in-law.
I had the same wish for you that otherwise,
I would have for my daughter.
It might be wrong.
It can be wrong.
But I had no bad intentions for you.
Who said one can't restart forgetting his past?
I've done it.
I did it.
Forgetting my past, I wanted to build a better future
and I built my present strong.
And there is no place for weakness.
I did it, Poulomi.
But I forgot that there is peace in weakness too.
Which is sometimes needed.
But now I understood.
You guys want
to break my family
by hitting it hard.
Break it.
Go ahead.
Break it.
Do whatever you wish.
Now it's time to retire.
It's time to retire.
Mother
now let me say something.
I also take care of our family just like you.
At least I tried.
As a woman, you must have understood that this is not
an easy task, mother.
The one with whom we marry apart from him.
There are many
with whom we have to build up a relation.
For whom we've to understand them.
We must try to
understand their heart.
I impressed everyone
except you.
I tried a lot but
you didn't support me.
If we were a little flexible
or if we were like friends.
I would've told you many things.
I would've made you understand that
time has changed a lot.
It's changed a lot.
The thing which was the reason to stop girls at home
now that has become their
weapon to win the world.
I could've told you a lot many things.
I couldn't dare to tell you anything.
Poulomi, I know you're hurt.
You're angry but
I can also get angry.
I was very angry.
But today, I'm very hurt
seeing you here and to hear you, mother.
I'm very hurt.
At the same time, I'm happy that, at least.
I know you little.
I understand you.
Thank you, mother.
You can't retire, mother.
Who will look after the NGO?
You've to take care of it
professionally.
Let's do it with the people who are here.
I'm sorry, mother.
I should have said
that I lost my job.
But I couldn't say it.
I don't have a job now, so I thought
to open a restaurant
with Poulomi and Paplu. - No.
I'll open the restaurant only with Paplu.
You'll write.
You'll start writing novels.
You'll complete your stories.
And the poems which you've written
you should publish it.
For that I...
need your favour, your money.
Our money.
Okay, fine.
I need to buy
a new pair of glasses with our money.
Come, child.
I came here. Will you not show me the house?
Look here.
There was a fight in the house.
It's better. Everything is fine now.
Yes. We came here again.
You'll get habituated to it. - Don't talk much.
Where is Poulomi, Sourish?
Where is Poulomi? - I think Poulomi is inside.
Do you know where she is? - She's inside, right?
