Well, there's something you don't know.

What?

See that man...

in the blue sweater?

Yes.

He's my friend's brother.

He was very handsome back then.

l was crazy about him.

And I wanted to elope with him.

And then?

l was at the railway station...

with a ticket in my hand.

And the train Left the station.

l didn't go with him.

since your father got transferred here...

whenever it's possible...

l come here.

And look at him from a distance.

I am scared to imagine...

what if I had eloped with him?

what would my life be Like now?

what life would I

be able to offer you?

The crossroads you are at right now...

l had turned away from.

But...

l don't love Ranjeet

Ranjeet is perfect for you.

so is it only about money?

No.

lt's not about money.

He can't say the words

you wish to hear...

and he can't hear the words

you wish to say.

sometimes silence is

the Language of love.

And some day that silence will

drown out your love.

You will use your fingers to talk to him...

but the world wiLL point fingers at you.

Do you really love dad?

Who said you can only love once?

He probably doesn't even

recognise me now.

Here.

Come to me the next time you need money...

and I'll teach you a Lesson.

Respected Shruti's father,

Life is a beautiful journey...

who knows what it has

in store for us.

But i do Know this.

You love your daughter a Lot.

Your daughter loves me a lot.

And I love your daughter a Lot.

when there's so much

Love amongst us...

why don't we become a family?

Yes?

Please get your daughter married to me.

Our Life would then be

the perfect fairy tale.

And, we'd all live happily ever after!

Please say yes.

Yours sincerely, Barfi.

Let me check.

He's here for a donation.

You see,

he's hearing and speech impaired.

Move it!

He is asking about Jhilmil.

DROP RS. 7,000 A THE POST OFFlCE AT 11 PM.

who has written this?

BRING RS. 100,000 TO

LONA KUKUR BRIDGE AT 11 PM.

You think ll'm foolish?

ldiot!

Tell him to start at the beginning.

My mother passed away

giving birth to me.

My father is a driver.

- Stop it!

Not from that beginning.

Start from this point on.

After Shruti left,

Barfi became a completely different person.

His father lost his job.

This happened after

Jhilmil's grandpa passed away.

Grandpa, wake up!

JhiLmil's grandpa left

his entire wealth to her Trust Fund.

Jhilmil's father was left to live off

a meagre monthly allowance, like the servants.

The arguments got worse...

and one day he got rid of all the servants,

including the old timers.

including Barfi's father and Jhilmil's nanny.

he didn't consider how Jhilmil

would survive without her nanny.

Kidney failure...

He needs surgery.

Seven thousand rupees...

within two days...

two days.

Hello...

Yes!

Mr. Chatterjee...

Good evening, sir.

Kidnapped?

Your daughter?

Are you sure?

Who was the Last to see her?

I was reading her a bedtime story...

If she was asleep,

how could she be kidnapped?

For God's sake!

I received a call.

For a ransom of 50,000 rupees!

This way, please...

Do you suspect anyone?

I mean, do you have any enemies?

He has several debts...

so, yes, there are enemies.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, she's been drinking.

- I'm sure it is one of them.

PLease, can you stop drinking?

I was not drinking.

Go call the other servants.

Take him with you.

You tried to strangle her

when she was a child.

why do you have to bring that up?

How can I forget it?

Shut up!

You shut up!

MR. CHATTERJEE'S DAUGHTER KIDNAPPED

Barfi!

Where were you?

Where are you going?

Mr. Dutta!

We are late.

Inspector Dutta, do something!

Barfi.

Got to pee...

No, don't shut the door...

DROP RS. 7,000 A THE POST OFFlCE AT 11 PM.

Who goes there?

Open the door.

l Iooked after her for 15 years,

but you...

Couldn't take care of her for 15 days!

When did you get this Letter?

l got it this morning

in the Letterbox.

- I told you

not to take her away!

Money is all that matters to you!

I know what's happening here.

What are you trying to say?

How can you talk like that?

You don't know the facts!

There's a cop here.

Yet you're saying such things.

Inspector...

Please investigate this thoroughly.

- I think Jhilmil's family is involved.

- 210?

- 210.

- 211?

- 211.

What is the patient's name?

Jung Bahadur.

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe

Sir, the Senior Inspector wants to see you.

Sir...

Sir, my wife is...

Pregnant.

But you aren't!

Stay here.

Did he tell you?

He didn't tell me.

Did you tell him?

I didn't tell him.

What do we do?

- Tell me.

You tell me, sir.

What do we do?

He's already here.

Yes, sir, he is here.

Will you go?

Or should I?

There's an hour to go.

l will continue the interrogation.

We have got two ransom notes.

The first, for 7,000 rupees,

was written by Barfi.

But we don't know who wrote

the second note for 100,000 rupees.

'If your daughter's life is dear to you...

come with 100,000 rupees to...

Lona Kukur bridge at 11 pm.

Otherwise the girl is dead.'

So the Senior Inspector and Mr. Chatterjee...

went to the bridge at 11 pm sharp.

All night Long, many officers...

tried to look for Jhilmil

in the lake.

The strange thing about this case was...

no one could identify the villain.

lf Jhilmil were to be killed...

Who would stand to gain?

I continued with my interrogation.

l was sure of getting a lead somewhere.

l didn't get any leads.

But what I did get...

was emotionally shocking.

You can't get away!

Hey... wait!

- Do you want to go or not?

- Barfi...

Barfi!

CHATTERJEE GIRL MISSING.

KIDNAPPER ON THE RUN.

Sorry, sir.

The Senior Inspector wants to see you.

Excuse me!

Mr. Sengupta.

waiting.

Once again I lost my resolve

when I saw Ranjeet.

Once again I'd left Barfi behind.

But destiny kept bringing me

back to him.

Yet, I don't know why...

I never had the courage to follow my heart.

Perhaps that's why destiny didn't favour me.

Barfi could've taken Jhilmil anywhere.

But destiny brought him to Kolkata.

Or he came there intentionally.

Because he knew I had moved to

Kolkata after my wedding.

A...

B...

B for Barfi...

Barfi...

Barfi!

I never imagined

Barfi would enter my life again.

And when I met him

after all this time...

I wasn't just meeting Barfi.

But also the girl...

who lost herself after

becoming Mrs. Sengupta.

Mom once said...

that a silence would envelope

Barfi and me.

And that some day that

silence would drown out our love.

But silence was all Ranjeet and I had.

We could hear each other clearly...

but we didn't feel a thing.

In every way we were complete...

but our love remained incomplete.

You could say, in some ways

Barfi was incomplete...

but his love was complete.

All I know is that She is from Darjeeling.
