He's the one..

...who's going to send...

Baaghini over to your office address

You really should have

been more careful.

I'm sorry!

I'll do my best.

The Chief Minister's

recommendation looks good.

We shall extend all possible cooperation.

So, where is she?-

- Sweden

The cat.-

- The cat's in Kolkata

Name?-

- Mr. Pritam Mukhopadhyay.

The cat, Mr... Mulka-dha-padhay...

...the name of the cat!

Oh...

Baaghini!

Yes.-

- Bug-in..

A cat named after a bug?-

- No, actually not a 'bug', Sir.

It's 'Baagh'.

You see, in Bengali,'Baagh' means tiger.

So... 'Baaghini' is female for tiger.

Tigress!

You see, umm..

'Baagh-Baaghini', tiger-tigress...

lion-lioness...

Deer... err...

...dearest... and then..

Yes of course.

How very amazing

That would be all.

Our Honorary Consul in Kolkata

will be dealing with you... directly.

Thank you.

Let's go...

What is it, Manibul?

But... what would be our

next step, Sir?

When are you going back

to Kolkata?

This evening itself, Sir.

Otherwise Baaghini has to

sleep with my maid.

There he goes!-

- But the maid leaves exactly at 9.

She's very punctual.

So... I have to go... and...

...to sleep with Baaghini.

Of course, I understand

In that case you can start

working on ...Buggini's passport.

And the first step would be to get a...

...passport-sized photograph taken.

Face straight.

Eyes in the camera

Ears showing clearly.

4 copies

Come on, turn your head-

- Not your head Sir, the cat's.

There she goes!-

- Look how she's wriggling!

Keep quiet!

Look at the camera!

Move your hand!-

- It's covering her ears!

How am I supposed to

control her ears now!

Oh God! 'Will you

remove your hands?

Gone!

Look how she's biting!

Be careful!-

- Ouch!

Look at the lens!-

- Now I'll scold you!

We also need photographs for her visa!

On a white background!-

-ls there a white loin-cloth at home?

What is the real colour

of the cat?

Pure white? Off-white or pink?

Completely pure white.

'Completely pure white'.-

- We can tweak it in Photoshop.

But a cat won't pose

You can'! train cats

Sir!

Madam's passport!

The passport! Let's see!

The passport is ready!

Here... over here...-

- Hold this.

And here.. the candidate

has to sign here

Signature?

Now you need a signature?-

- But she's a cat.

How on earth will a cat sign?-

- Can everyone sign in our country?

A thumb impression will do.

A thumb-print?-

- It's simple.

Paw-prints!

Here.. here..

I have marked all the forms.

The candidate... will have to give

her paw prints here.

More?!

On all these forms?-

-it's a rule, Sir!

'What's wrong, Sir? Why don't you

finish your sherbet?

Don't be so nervous!

Here, have some snacks.

Every candidate

has special requirements.

Thank you.-

- Mention not.

Okay. Mr. Goenka..

We'll take your leave

My pleasure, Mr. Gupta!

Thank you, Sir.-

- All the best!

See you, sir.-

- See you.

Sir, I'll go see them off.-

- Okay.

Jayanta..-

- Just a minute... excuse me!

What's wrong?-

--Must've gone back for his sherbet.

Which paw do we use

for the thumb-print?

The hind ones are her legs...

And the forelegs, her arms!

- Simple!

Have a nice day!

I'm weary

Take care

My beloved country

May no one ever...

...be compelled

to leave her motherland.

You'd like cigarettes?

You?

When my Baaghini comes here...

I'll marry her to you, Gustav.

Always at your service, Madam

What do you think, Theo?

I'll marry him to my Baaghini.

Smile, Madam.

Be happy-

Why are you blushing?

Baaghini will like you.

Theo will be your Best Man.

Won't you, Theo?

I'm buying provisions.

Do you need anything?

Does everyone have a stamp-pad?

Easy!-

- Put her on the chair.

Don'! pull her legs!-

- If she bites, you'll need injections!

Is the first-aid box ready?-

- Tickle her a little!

Hey!

Catch her!

Here's your ball, honey!-

- Did you give her this smiley ball?

Please cooperate!

She's run away again!-

- Get hold of her!

This compounder's a sissy!-

-What did I do?

My sweet little pie!-

- Cooperate with the police!

And she's gone again!-

- Get hold of her, somebody!

She'll drive us mad today!

She's gone to the living room.

Over there! Yes!

Over there!-

- No, I'll go first! Wait!

She's gone behind the almirah.-

- Oh no!

Please cooperate!

Come out!

Lure her with this ball!

She's run away!-

- I'll see the end of this!

Here you are, darling!!

Baaghini sweetheart!

Hey compounder, get hold of her!-

- There she goes!

'Without sleeping pills...

...this is impossible.

I'm sorry for the rush.

I'll... explain everything later.

This is Liliana, Pen Club member.

We met at the... Press Conference

Where do I go?.

Liliana's summer house.

In... Ljustero.-

- Yes.

It's an island.

Island!

On the Baltic.

It's yet another banishment.

Gustav? Theo?

Gustav...

Gustav will... be with you

Where are you lost?

No mails..

Are You upset?

Or are you ill?

We're going berserk trying

to get Baaghini to cooperate

It's so evident that

she's your daughter!

Anyway"-

Jayanta is trying to sedate Baaghini now.

Come on, get me the ball!

And Baaghini... is running around with

the new ball that Shayonti gave her...

Come on honey!

Don't be naughty now!

Sweet kitty!

Here I come!

A small little paw-print from you!

And Baaghini...

...is running around with a new ball.

I wonder how he'll get her to sign!

Just a few more days...

...and you can speak Bengali

with Baaghini again

You'll write again.

And return

I'm not very easy with cats Sir.

It's just that this verification

is mandatory for the passport...

Though, the passport is done

A mere formality now.

Just one look at the candidate.

From a distance.That's it!

Excuse me..

She doesn't bite, does she?

She was sleeping. Made us run

all night with stamp-pads...

Amazing!!

The cat and the tiger belong to...-

- The same family.

...family...-

- Sir...

...the tiger's not matching at all!

How come?

She's plain in the photos

but here she has blue spots...

That's the ink from the stamp pad.

Imagine that today is the day

after Holi (festival of colours).

So the candidate

has weird colours on her...

No Sir!!

Give her a shampoo...

...and bring her to the police station!

Right to Equality!

Right to Freedom of Religion!

Right to Education!

Right to Freedom!-

-Who's going to write on the board?

Ma'am!-

- Yes Rohan!

Write this down boys.-

- Give me a pen.

Bring your own pen next time.

Phone!

Sorry... I think I forgot to

put it on silent.

Sorry boys, it

must be an emergency.

Hello!-

- I'm in class!

Any problem?

Make it fast!

Oh! Just one thing!

Emergency!... -

- Emergency?!

Emergency!.

'What!

Can you fix an appointment for

Baaghini at your salon, please?

She just collapsed

during her shampoo!

Come on!

Move it!

Hey move! Take left!-

- Mind the door!

I'll get the admission done.

Stan oxygen. What's her BP?

The Commissioner is here.

What happened?-

- I took her to the salon, so...

Salon?!-
