- When? Where? How?

Slow down.

Too many questions at one go.

Holy Christ!

You've got a huge place!

So, Mr. Disco Dandia,

what's up with you?

Your Mr. Disco Dandia has

taken to Raybne she dancing now.

Oh my God! What have you done?

Which Bengali cleansed

your Bengali pronunciation?

I'm surely sending Gaby to you. -

- Not a Bengali.

A Portuguese. -

- What!

Close your mouth, a fly may get in.

Can you give me some weed?

Though after this, a couple of

reefers would've had the same effect.

Hey, listen...

I just want to meet Uncle

Reincarnate once, please!

Please! -

- He is sleeping.

And he isn't keeping well, too.

Okay.

Obviously that happens later then.

And what's going on with your

music?

Have you been able

to serenade Maya yet?

I've got a chance. -

- Okay.

As in... like a show.

You know... Radio Mirchi?

They're doing a concert.

She's the main organizer.

I've been selected also.

But there's a hitch. -

- Hitch?

I lied during the

registration that I have a band.

Or they wouldn't allow.

And I don't know

anybody in the band circuit.

At least if I could

get some musicians... -

Or leave it to the hands. Right?

Don't worry.

We'll arrange something.

I will take you to someone.

My senior from the

Medical college days here.

Like a friend.

I think he'll be able

to guide you well.

Don't worry.

The decision has to

be taken today itself.

Of course. We've to... -

- That's why I came.

We need to finish this.

Remember everybody.

Listen to me everyone.

Let's listen to what he

has to say. Then we speak.

Here he comes.

Wait.

Hello brothers. -

- Listen, you untouchable,

you've married a Hindu girl

rescuing her from the Sati pyre.

We've not said anything.

You've been breaking

all rules.

Respected people in the village

have lost their caste because of you.

We didn't say anything.

But today when we heard... -

Will you stop listing his

blasphemies and get to the point?

Fine, I'll get to it.

Today we heard you're

planning to organize a Durga Puja!

That's true. -

- Then listen...

...this Puja will not happen. -

- Why?

We're staying here, at the outskirts of

the village without bothering anyone. -

- Shut up!

We've already told

you this puja won't... -

Go inside, Mini.

Go in.

Listen Antony Sahib, I'll tell

you why this Puja cannot happen.

You're a Christian by birth.

Moreover you're poking your nose

into our traditions, our customs,

even our festivals!

Even the Viceroy would

not have dared that!

A crow doesn't turn into a peacock

putting on a peacock's feather.

And an amateur poet doesn't become a

Bengali by singing a few Kheur songs.

And Durga Puja?

That's our very own...

...Bengali festival. Therefore... -

- Listen brothers, Goddess

Mahamaya herself decides...

...who is a Bengali and who isn't.

I am just a humble devotee.

Worshipping her is my duty.

I will do that.

You may do anything you

want to, I don't mind at all.

Goodbye.

What I am thinking is...

...I am a judge at the

same competition...

Will it be correct if I guide you?

I don't have any interest in...

...in competing there.

I just want to sing this

song for someone there.

If need be declare an

out of competition... -

- Just a minute.

Sing it for 'someone' as in?

The same cardiac case everywhere.

Well well!

Good!

In that case I'll say that

your song is very nice...

...I really liked it.

A unique composition. I got

a very special feeling in it.

So it's better not to

approach it with a typical...

...drums, bass guitar,

guitar, keyboard set up.

So...

...what do you suggest?

How you should arrange this song,

how you should present it,

I think there is only

one person in Kolkata.

If he agrees to help you,

you're done.

You'll get a set of musicians and...

...then if he agrees to

play along, nothing like it.

Do one thing,

I'll give him a

call and speak to him.

Then you can go, meet him.

Sing him your songs.

And that's it.

Thank you Sidhu, I didn't

imagine you'll help us like this.

Don't be so formal. I've

been in college too, isn't it?

And in such cardiac cases my

emotion works a little more.

Rita from NRS and Bodhi

from National college...

...when they had just begun,

I've contributed a lot in that.

Fine.

Who's this person?

All arrangements

will be made on time.

Only you won't be there.

I know, you've become

very famous now.

You're very busy.

Fine,

one day when you come back...

...you'll find my dead body

lying here.

Then I'll kill myself and lie

down in the grave beside you.

No.

That won't happen.

Why will I be buried

because I married you?

I will be cremated.

Will you stop?

I have duels on all the

three evenings of Durga Puja.

And on the

last night...

...I'm competing with

Bhola Moyra, at Sovabajar.

And that's a duel I...

...had to fight.

With this the last

chapter of my life began.

My...

...last Kabigaan duel.

Even a birth later...

...when those incidents...

...emerge in my mind

just like a film...

...I...

When I reached 'Raja' Gopi

Mohan Deb's palace that evening,

I saw,

it was a huge affair.

Bhola Moyra was waiting

therewith his group to attack me.

We took our seats.

The competition began.

As the night fell, the

fight became tougher.

Both sides got equal appreciation

from the Raja and public...

...in Bhawani Bishayak,

Sakhisangbad and Viraha.

So it was obvious that the

judgement would be made in...

...the Kheur and Lahar rounds.

Here you are.

I needed to talk to you,

there's a problem.

I'll have to reach the venue directly

from the airport on that day.

No problem.

There will be a car waiting.

That's very good.

A nothing thing... the main thing...

...how's the participation

looking like?

Some very good bands have registered.

Looks like it'll be a tough fight.

Come.

Love engulfs the soul,

Love engulfs the soul

In faraway lands you roam,

I come back to an empty home

In faraway lands you roam,

I come back to an empty home

The heart explodes, I worry and fret,

And grapple with my lovesick state

Love engulfs the soul

As the mind is on a roll,

Love engulfs the soul

Love engulfs the soul

Love engulfs the soul

Look who's here! Mr. Coward Lee!

How are you? Still

studying or that's finally over?

Still going on.

Nice.

Still learning Bengali or have you

shifted to Hebrew to impress girls?

No.

Still trying my luck at Bengali.

Maya.

Even today.

Where to?

We've come to Sidhu's house.

There's a concert on the 21st.

I need passes.

Oh God! Now I'll have to meet you

at Bengali music concerts as well?

So be it.

Keep a Bengali to

English dictionary handy.

Fulfill by experiencing

Krishna within yourself,

and be sure to avoid his touch

Lest misfortune befalls

you before your union,

And you miss him again as much.

And you miss him again as much.

O Moon-faced one,

besotted with the Lord

That your pining end

with devotion, overawed

Don't worry, O Radha, your

pangs of separation have ceased
