Why did you quit?

I feel claustrophobic stuck

at one place for too long..

What the hell do you

keep writing all day?

Will I write accounts?

I have finished seven scripts.

-Not one has been made into a film!

No one reads them,

neither pays money.

Look at your friends.

Is anyone of them like you?

Can you find anyone lazing

around in that cafe anymore?

Hey Bagchi, come!

Come!

Let's have a couple of pegs?

- No, I'm carrying my own.

What took you so much time?

Two groups of communists were

fighting in front of Shahid Minar.

The third power has declared the

formation of a new party, you see.

Why suddenly today.'

After so many days?

What's the date today.'

1st May.

I need some money.

That's why l came.

I read your novel 'Jathor'.

In the newspaper.

Quite a...

Sleazy Crap

I'm a pimp if I'm writing

about human feelings.

Writing about relationships

means getting purchased.

Whose feeling? Whose relationships?

And who is publishing all of it?

The 'partisan thing'

is not selling anymore Bagchi.

You rascal!

Is there any use abusing me Bagchi?

Your Mohit,

is earning money in Bombay now.

And An on do?

A petty villain in the Hindi films.

Since you've been screaming

for the reunion of two Bengals.

And now, when the mass revolution

has set East Bengal on fire?

Where are you now?

At country liquor shops?

That is bothering you? -Yes it is!

That is precisely the

reason I'm drinking you moron.

Get bothered.

Practice getting bothered.

I could not do anything.

If it bothers you people...

...may be things can work out.

Genocide had taken place...

in the hamlets of My Lai My

Khe in the Son My village in Vietnam

Most of the victims were women,

children including

babies and elderly people.

Is Kshiti babu inside? -Yes.

He's there. -Nilkantha Bagchi.

I know.

I've written a new script.

He had asked me to come.

There's a meeting going on inside.

He's a producer after all.

A little busy right now.

Com e. Please sit for a while. Com e.

This year"

...a lot of films are being made.

Lot's of films, huh?

Sit here.

I'll call you when Sir's free.

"From one side to the other,

The boat's helm is moving"

"The water of the river

is noisily moving up and down"

A slum in Kolkata.

Ugly, tattered huts.

"The honeybees are

playing on the flowers.."

A mother...

...beside a frail child.

Sir.

Sir.

Wake up.

It's morning.

Morning!

I've seen him somewhere.

Roams around the burning ghats

A drunkard... is he alive?

I know him. He is the loony Bhoba.

Oh no! Isn't this Nilkantha Bagchi?

"My beloved is come."

"My beloved is come."

"My mind is happy."

"My beloved is come."

"My beloved is come."

Madam, madam!

Doctor"

I'm sorry Ma'am,

his condition is extremely serious.

We can begin with the treatment

of his physical aliments...

...but we need to refer the

case to the psychiatry department.

Psychiatry?

For alcohol detoxification.

Without that we won't

be able to save him .

Could you give me an estimate of...

...how much money would be required?

It is estimated that around

million East Bengali refugees

...entered India during

the early months of the war.

Near Gorkha Brigade,

Border Security club lost by 10...

...in the Durand cup finals.

Come on Jagaddal!

Jagaddal!

How much?

Two rupees per ton sir.

You'll not find this

opportunity again!

Give away all that you have!

This won't even

be four to five tons.

Moreover it's only junk.

Junk!?

Bhoba.

How much?

There's no answer to that.

You've failed.

All of it has been robbed.

We've all faded away...

...in the air.

We're finished.

Won't Nil survive...

...Bikram da?

I've packed your bags.

You should leave.

You're successful.

You've always been

behind him, honey.

Go.

Go away.

Go. - Based on the story of Amitabh

Choudhury, the film 'Mon Niye',

...directed by Salil Sen, starring

the famous pair Uttam Suchitra,

...has opened out a new

horizon for psychological..

"Thrillers in Bengali films.

Dugga.

Dugga.

No.

Here.

Again?

It makes me feel sleepy.

How many more cycles to go?

One more, day after.

You're free to go after that.

Day after? That's when the

first show is and you guys are...

That's in the morning

and the show is in the evening.

You can be brought here

for the show in that case.

And backstage?

Will those fools be able to manage?

Set, lights, curtains, bell.

Sure they will.

And we'll all be there, don't worry.

And you too have to recover, right?

Have you been able to figure

out what my disease is Doctor?

You believe in life.

So there's light.

But you don't care

about your own life.

That's when the darkness strikes.

You are a science student.

Could you tell me,

what is the physical state of fire?

Phulmoni, come here.

Yes? What do you need here ?

Come on, go back to your bed.

- Who's it?

Let her come in.

Make it fast

Come in.

Dada.

Phulmoni!

Tomorrow is the climax of our play.

If you don't dance...

...it'll not reach it's crescendo.

Won't you dance, honey?

Won't you dance?

I was reading a novel.

I'm thinking if

I could work with it.

Have you heard of Malopara?

Do it, it'll work out well.

Anyway!

Today all the pain in my

heart and body shall cease to exist.

You must come to watch

the play in the evening.

There's a good news.

You're going away

to Shithigram, right?

The government is honoring you

with the Padamasree award this year.

In that easel must make amends

for all the defects in my body now!

Father!

Hey!

You've come back here again?

What do you need here now?

You have been a good wife...

...and a good mother...

to my son!

I could not go on anymore.

Fine.

But can't this..

...exchange of hatred

linger some more.

No.

I will not let you go.

I'm planning to leave very

early in the morning tomorrow.

Could you...

...come to the jungle once?

Let's see.

-Err.. you must bring Satya along too.

Why?

I want to see his face...

...in the light of a new dawn.

Then I'll leave.

Dugga!

"Surge, swell Oh! mighty waves!

Smash,shatter as shackles do break"

Dugga!

The century is about to end.

We can't just sit like this.

We've do something!

We'll have to do something!

Baba! -Satya!

"Surge, swell Oh! mighty waves!

Smash,shatter as shackles do break"

"Surge, swell Oh! mighty waves!

Smash,shatter as shackles do break"

That woman in white,

and a few more men...

...pushed me into a small

room behind a door with iron grills.

A spark flashed in my brain,

I was a prisoner.

Khokon!

Suddenly...

...my Khokon came

and stood before me.

A blur at first

Then slowly he became the real.

How did he come in

through those grills ?

He walked in and stood before me,

smiling.

When did he learn to walk ?

My Khokon has learned to walk!

Suddenly...

...a thousand black snakes!

They started slithering

up allover my Khokon's body!

And the iron grills transformed...

...into a hundred

wriggling serpents!

And...

...and the lock!

The giant lock jangled into
