Say something, Deepak.

You've been quiet for

a really longtime.

No, it's okay. Take your time

"l like poetry..."

"You move like the

misty morning train..."

I tremble like a bridge in the rain".

"If it comes to that,

I'll run away with you."

When does this grief ever end?

Deepak, get up!

You're being crazy!

You need to control yourself.

Hey Deepak, take my bike keys.

Shaalu!!!

You promised the translation

would be done by today.

The printers are sitting idle.

Mr. Pathak?

Is everything OK?

I'll deliver it within 3 days

3 more days?

Devi's not keeping

well these days.

Mr. Verma...

could you give me an

advance please?

You've already kept me

hanging like a bat.

Still, I can't say no.

Here you go.

It's ne.

Good bye!

Sorry for the delay!

How much is this?

30,000 Rupees for now...

Come with me.

See that gate over there?

Yes.

There's a shop opposite.

"Pappu scrap dealer."

Sell this crappy old engine

for 10 or 15,000 Rupees.

The thing is we are trying...

I think we'll be able to complete

the payment soon.

You think this is a joke?

This is not enough.

Are you a child?

I'll pay the rest this week.

Please take this.

You better clear it this week...

and complete the balance

by next month.

Money?

Please hurry, sir!

- Where to?

- Howrah.

As a "Devi"...

you should have 4 arms on each side

8 tickets in record speed!

Sir, please hurry.

What's the rush?

My father says...

if you haven't tasted kheer...

you're missing one of life's

greatest pleasures.

Here, have some.

No, you have it.

That goes without saying.

Father's cooked it himself.

It's his birthday today.

Oh, OK.

Wow - Isn't it delicious?

Yes very.

Do you live alone?

No, I live with my father.

Father lives alone

I mean, he's alone during the day.

'Kheer"?

Haven't cooked it in

a while, so I thought...

l just had dinner. Keep it,

I'll have it tomorrow.

Have it, please.

You're so fond of it.

It's good.

Is there any milk left for

tomorrow morning?

What is it?

I completed a month

at work today. So...

it's my salary cheque.

How much?

20 thousand Rupees.

Great!

Come, sit next to me.

You never told me your

job was conrmed.

It's temporary

I'll work until we arrange

the ransom money.

Then...

And then?

I'm planning to take up a

course at Allahabad university

I'll work part-time

near the university.

You want to move out?

Yes.

Why?

If it wasn't for this case,

I would have already left.

Maybe I'm better off alone.

Allahabad isn't too far.

- I'll come back here once in a while.

- What about your father?

I don't t in your life anywhere?

If you've gured out so much then...

Go

I did not kill your mother!

I'll quietly sleep on the ghat!

Father, please!

Don't cry, please.

Narrow gauges are still used

in hilly areas.

Broad-gauge technology

will eventually replace it.

- Graduated rst in your class?

- Yes.

You're hired for a six-month trial

in Allahabad.

Thank you, sir - Congratulations.

Now we're on it completely.

Even Devi's now got a temporary job

I have a feeling we'll

pay the dues soon

6th of the next month

is your last day to pay up.

Or else the video's going up

on YouTube

I'm sure you know

what YouTube is?

Dad, shall we leave?

Yes, let's go.

Today on the eve of Maha Shivratri.

We will have the

biggest competition till date.

So on this note.

All hail in the name of...

Lord Mahadev!

All okay?

Take down my bet - How much?

10,000 Rupees.

- You'll win right?

- Obviously!

Did you know Devi...

there's always one

friend in every group...

who is considered the most wise.

Yes.

Back in college... I used

to be that intellectual.

All my friends used to seek

my help with their problems.

My advice to everyone...

whatever is in your heart,

say it out loud!

Hiding will get you nothing.

Let's see who is going to win today!

Jhonta, dive there!

Hurry up! Faster!

On the extreme end.

Now that you're leaving...

I think it's time I should

listen to the "intellectual" inside me...

and tell you what is in my heart.

Jhonta!

Jhonta!

Dive, Munna!

Everything okay?

Sorry

I have to leave.

Give way, move!

Everybody move from here!

Give way!

Jhonta!!!

I won't ever let you play

this game, my child!

What?

I lost all your money, isn't it?

No.

What happened?

Want to see a magic trick?

Do you see anything in my hand?

Anything in this one?

No.

Anything in my mouth?

1...2... 3...

Whose is it?

It's for you.

Where did you nd it?

Found it in the river

while diving.

Yes, great!

Thank you.

It's hot!

I've packed lunch.

Have it on the train.

You eat, I'll pack.

It's lovely.

Shall we go?

Blessings.

Call me once you reach

I'm off - Hurry up.

Step back.

Go sit - See you soon, Dad.

Hello!

Why?

Water?

30 rupees to go to Sangam!

Yes.

And you?

Second time.

Sangam twice in a lifetime.

Why?

Alone the rst time, and with

someone the second time around
