Nayak

Are you going?

Nice.

I didn't like your decision.

After all it is a

award from the Government.

There is prestige attached.

I don't understand any award.

It's just a relief from all

these round the clock problems.

It's fortunate that I didn't get

a plane reservation.

If you had decided beforehand

you would have gotten.

a private train compartment.

Now you'll have to

share it with somebody.

I don't care. I'll have sleeping

pills and just sleep through the tip.

Who travels with me

is not my concern at all.

Then, shall I cable Delhi? Let

them meet you at the station.

Three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine and ten.

The cable may not reach them.

Phone them up.

Phone up Sunil also.

The hell with it. The line is busy.

What's the report about the movie?

- It's only the second week.

Can't you do it by this time?

It's the end of the month and people

don't have money in their pockets.

These things were never said

before. Why do I hear them now?

Tell me what is in

that movie except you?

I'm in it. Isn't that enough?

Not enough, brother.

Times have changed.

Silly public. Whimsical lot.

Only if I could flatten

them with a steam roller.

- Wow brother!

What will I do for a

living without the public?

I'll eat rice and fish from the

roadside restaurant.

No brother no!

Even I can't have breakfast without

the tea costing 14 pounds per kilogram.

I'm only a satellite.

Read that article in the paper.

Hello trunk.

What is this? This article!

How long?

- Just a few minutes.

Are you going to Delhi?

It appears so.

Lucky I could meet you.

Will you have something

other than tea?

No.

Bananas?

This is written by that Chakravarty.

This chap is going

beyond limits these days.

Phone up Nilomoni that I'm

leaving and sorry for the trouble...

I have kept the sixteenth

reserved for him.

What about Mr. Sen?

Let him kill himself.

He will surely not die.

I'll have to manage him.

Now let me finish my work.

What's my horoscope?

What does it say? Is the time good?

- Yes, very auspicious.

But my reading is exactly the

opposite, Mr. Hiralal.

The opposite?

In what respect?

It says that the journey will

be auspicious but no contract.

You must be joking.

Do you read the newspapers?

- Newspapers?

Do you read anything other than

news about stocks and shares?

A little.

- Then you don't know the news.

What news?

Two nights ago...

...in a club...

...in a drunken state...

...I assaulted someone.

Assaulted?

- Means left and right.

Left, right?

You understand thrashing?

- Oh, thrashing.

The gentleman misbehaved with me...

...and in front of a lady too.

- Did he?

In that case do you think it would

have been right

to bear it?

- Not at all.

The gentleman didn't know that

I act well in one particular role.

And that role is that of a fist fighter.

Fist fighter?

- Just like this, a left jab.

Though when I have a little more

to drink the punch is not accurate.

However the gentleman didn't

have the courage

to confront me for the second time.

That's great!

You have done correctly.

You have done the right thing.

But even after trying

to hush up the news

it's in two newspapers today.

What difference does it make?

There is nothing to it, Mr. Hiralal

but it will delay the

signing of your contract

But you had said...

- Nothing. Everything is empty.

You had promised an advance.

- Everything after I return on Friday.

Please hold, he's coming.

Who is it?

- The heroine.

Tell me.

I heard you're going.

- Yes, I'm going.

By air?

- No by train.

Shall I come along?

- I'd be happy if you don't come.

You are mistaking me, Arindam.

- Probably not.

I can explain everything to you.

That won't be necessary.

- Why do you say that?

Obviously, there is a reason.

What reason?

Please tell me, Arindam.

Now I don't have the time to

tell you. I'm leaving now.

Ok, bye.

Do you need

something special for her?

If you can give her

some chicken stew.

Chicken stew.

Papa, give me that

book from your bag.

You want to read? Won't

you strain yourself?

Where will you have your lunch?

Where will you have your lunch?

They will have it

in the compartment.

I'll have it in the dining car.

Yes, I'll have it in the dining car.

Mr. Ghosh, is he in

this compartment?

Mr. Ghosh...

Mr. Haren Ghosh.

- He is in D.

Are you having any doubts?

Who knows? If there is a

last minute change of plans...

I would be happy if there

was such a change.

Why?

The idea of working during a

vacation doesn't appeal to me.

Do you know how much they

spend on advertisements?

The lower is his and yours is the upper.

- Thank you.

Put the luggage here.

It is five lakh rupees,

isn't it? Understood?

If I can rope him in,

then my office...

Arindam!

Arindam Mukherjee!

If you have any problem with the compartment

there are two cancellations.

Why should there be

any problem, tell me.

Mr. Chatterjee is

traveling with you.

Oh god... He hates everything

about the movies.

Is that the person who

writes letters in the Statesman?

Yes. When he heard your

name he was a little...

Let's see what a character he is.

This is Mr. Chatterjee.

Salutations.

Do you act in the movies?

Oh yes sir.

I don't like the movies

as per my own principles.

But yielding to my friend's request

I went to see the movie

'How Green Was My Saddle'.

That was a good movie.

In my opinion, the film

was bad in all respects.

But what is the

crime of an actor, sir?

Do you drink?

Yes, a little at times.

It is the second

nature of all movie actors.

But that does not...

This shows their lack of discipline.

Would you drink

inside the compartment?

Yes, you understand that

it is our second nature.

Then it is my duty to inform you

that due to alcoholic fumes

I get nausea.

It causes me to fall ill

and under the circumstances

I expect some consideration

from my fellow passengers.

You don't have to worry sir,

I'm in a different compartment.

I've heard about you,

read your writings

and so came to meet you.

- Oh I see.

Good day sir.

- Good day.

Yours is the lower berth.

Probably you may have some problem.

No, not at all. This is fine.

- Oh god, saved from him.

Mama.

A hundred point four.

The TC has no sense.

See who he has brought in.

What's wrong with that?

Haven't you read today's papers?

You are more bothered about such

things. Is it not worthy that

he's going to Delhi

to get an award?

Scandal is scandal.

Please open this bottle for me.

In Delhi I'll show you Jama Masjid.

- Then?

Then I'll also show you Qutub Minar.

It's tough.

You can call the porter

and ask him to open it for you.

What? Bottle cap?

It's not opening.

- Shall I try it?

Ok. Please try.

Here you are.

Thanks.

It's difficult when you

hand is wet with sweat.

Yes, you're right.

My congratulations to you.

Me?

For opening the bottle?

- No, not for that.

For the award that you

going to Delhi to collect.

She's had a fever

for the past month.
