Milord, Mr Dinen Lahiri is the most selfish and
combative old man I've ever come across...
Old people need sticks...

He is using his grandson for his own sake...
We get these toys that run on key in the fair...
To him, his grandson is just like that toy!

future in front of him....
He'll study abroad... in London...
And he is preventing that?...
His family history
His health condition
wife's health condition... You've heard it all
I really dont understand that
how can he claim guardianship of Arka...
Just imagine Milord
Just imagine the trauma the child
had to go through on that day...
It is our duty to take care that a day
like that is not repeated in that child's life...

Two...
Both are alive?...
No... my first child passed away...
How?... how did he pass away?...
Objection your honour...
Death of a child is
a very traumatic experience....
Reminding a father of that....
Milord that death has relevance in this case...
Has no relevance...

You can find the frustrations of
a 30 year old young man
His pain has been noted here

Will wash away the mark left by death

Please give me sometime... milord please...
Objection overruled
Thank you, your honour
Tell me, why does he keep
repeating this to his father?...
Father! I couldnt
Tell me...
Apu was my first child...
My best student..
Not only the environment of
Shantiniketan
He had made Tagore's songs his life...
He really wanted to...
become a teacher here...
and spend his days like that
But he didnt get the chance
Though he had all the qualifications...
This incident caused me a lot of pain
I was very heartbroken...
he, too, broke down..
Unable to get a chance
used to eat away at him...
At him?...
Or did it eat away at you?...
Be honest didnt you blame
him for not getting through?...
The way you blame all your children
Didnt you blame Mr Arnab?...
Didnt you call him jobless?... Alcoholic?...
He is not worth being a father
Havent you mocked him in front of
his son for quitting his job?...
Mr Lahiri
You couldnt
keep your first child
It wasnt stress or depression
You, virtually, pushed him
towards suicide
This is practically a suicide note
And you are to blame for it You
You couldnt even keep your first child
How do you even imagine
keeping your grandson?
And thats all your honour.
Clouds darken all directions
Oarsman! Time to steer the boat.
You hold tight the rudder
I will unfurl the sails...
Row, row, row your boat
Heave and Ho!
In its chains time and again
Echo the clash of cymbals...
Doubt-laden cries they are not.
The boat can endure
the anchors no more.
Restlessly it rocks therefore...
Row, row, row your boat
Heave and Ho!
