What is the matter? Are
you thinking I'm a fool?
All of you get out.
What are you thinking of,
sabotaging my play?
What is your intention?
You are unnecessarily angry,
brother Shankar.
Whether it is
necessary or not I will decide.
There can't be smoke without fire
or is it all a fable created by you?
You already know the whole thing.
I want to hear it from you.
Jyoti brought me a movie offer.
What movie?
- Debi Choudrani.
What role?
- The hero.
Brajeswar! That non-entity?
Nothing has been decided.
They have called me
for a screen test.
What you said to them?
- I haven't said anything yet.
I'm telling you. You won't get it.
When you say so I will not get it.
But I have no intention of sabotaging
your play and doing a movie.
Listen, Arindam.
I know that there
is glamour in movies
but there is no art there
and movies have
nothing to do with art.
Especially for the actor.
There is no contribution
from him at all.
This I'm saying with
I have read about movies in detail.
nothing but a puppet
a puppet in the
hands of the director.
A puppet in the hands
of the camera man
and in the hands
of the sound recorder.
He is also a puppet
in the hands of the editor
who cuts and pastes the movie.
One more thing. The source of
inspiration for a stage actor is
the viewers, the shadows
of the black heads
that you see
while acting on stage.
Those are ones that give you
the energy, the inspiration
and you want to
totally avoid them.
The real thrill of acting,
remains
in the movies. Where
will you find it there?
Is this all only more money?
I'm not saying that you
will not be successful.
You have the personality
and also the voice.
You may be successful.
I have to tell you one more thing.
Movies also have a business side.
It is heartless and merely
a game of supply and demand.
Once you have two consecutive hits
you climb the ladder very fast.
When your third and then
you will suddenly
notice that the ladder
you climbed has been taken
away by somebody.
Then they will drop you.
You will fall on
your face and then
you can never get up.
You will be finished for all time.
Have you understood?
That was brother Shankar.
Of course I wouldn't say
that he was totally wrong.
But in your case it wasn't
correct, was it?
On the festival day
the play was staged.
Then the festival
came to an end
and the goddess
was to be immersed.
In our locality the statue of the
goddess was in traditional style.
It was as per brother Shankar's idea.
He always wanted
the statue made like that.
He said this would inspire all of us.
Hail the mother goddess Durga!
Let me through.
Brother Shankar.
Brother Shankar.
Such a giant of a man
died in front of my eyes.
Thrombosis.
I had seen my parents
die when I was young.
a lot of relatives and others.
I had developed a
careless attitude
towards death.
However I could not take
brother Shankar's death lightly.
He who had so much life in him.
How could his
life end so suddenly?
Something surprising
happened in the crematorium.
When his body was being cremated,
consumed by the flames
I felt that a change
Jyotin.
- Yes, tell me.
Sit down.
What?
- Do you believe in rebirth?
Whose rebirth?
- Human rebirth.
Say, yours.
I am myself. How would I know
that in my next birth
Jyoti Banerjee is not reborn
as Jyoti Banerjee?
Moreover, the same things don't exist.
Hence where is the
question of belief or disbelief?
Exactly.
It is the era of master frauds,
dear brother of mine.
No rebirths and no providence.
I know. There is only one
life and hence only one chance.
What are you thinking?
- What?
What are you thinking?
Do you believe that
Brando, Bogart and Paul Muni.
Are all of them puppets?
You have grown up and earn a
paltry sum of 333 rupees per month
with an annual
increment of ten rupees.
Better than that would be to be
a successful puppet and earn
20,000 rupees per movie.
They have tested of two candidates
and haven't found them ok.
No, brother Shankar must be wrong.
Yes, he must be wrong.
If you agree, then my
prestige would be salvaged.
If it had been ancient times
I would have been scared.
- Scared of what?
Brother Shankar's curse.
I decided on the spot.
Great. You look very
beautiful without the specs.
You seem to be surprised.
Why?
The moment that man died I...
That is reality.
This is what is absent in Bengali
movies, is that what you are saying?
Burdwan.
It would not be correct
for you to remain here.
Why?
It is a station and that means...
see they have recognized you.
Is that not natural?
Look at that.
do you know that?
I know, but I am not used to this.
Do you know what they are thinking?
That I'm going for a shooting
and that you are my heroine.
What are you saying?
Why are you ashamed of
being in my company?
Why would that be?
Don't cover your face, otherwise
they will get more inquisitive.
Relax and behave normally.
Talk in a normal fashion.
Impossible.
Then shall I do the talking?
Why have you not married?
Have you ever acted?
Would you like to act in movies?
It is better that I do the talking.
Then do.
Do you
remember the first day
of your movie career?
The person I remember
most is Mukund Lahiri.
Who is that behind me?
Sir, I'm Arindam Mukherjee.
Brajeswar?
- Yes sir.
Is this your first movie?
- Yes sir.
If I were to call you
Brojo would you have any objection?
I have this old habit of
calling people by the
name of their character.
This will also be useful to you.
If I address you by the name of
the character that you are playing
then it will be easy for you
to react while working in the movie.
I understand you, sir.
But don't address me as Papa.
That would become
very excessive. Only...
...smoking in
front of me! You fool!
I told you to be careful. I'll throw
away all these beards and moustaches.
Are you in pain?
Stiff neck.
I told the servant to put
Would you like a massage?
Massage?
- Yes, it would give relief.
Oh, Jack of all trades?
If not all, at least I know this.
How much time will it take?
- Not much.
You move away. Come on. -
This I learnt from brother Shankar.
During shooting
I got a feel for his status.
Starting from the director,
everyone was scared of him.
Why is it hot? Who is
that in front of the fan?
Remember that only an
actor is indispensable.
Nothing can be done without him.
There is no assistant for him
who can get the work done.
Where is Brojo?
- Brajeswar.
I'm here sir.
Look, I don't have the patience
to read the lines again and again.
The lines may be
changed here and there
