Yes...

When you get better,

we'll go to Mungadi.

Definitely.

Enough Dingu... Come here...

I'm going Dadu. Okay...

I'm going Dadu.

I must go too... Until the evening.

Thank you doctor.

Dr. Sahay... I was...

Ramdahin... Ramdahin...

Why did you let him out?

I went out for one minute,

sir...

Oh my old man... Come on...

Back to your room...

Sorry. He is... your...

Grandfather. 93...

Four generations...

Difficult to believe!

You know the case very well.

Can you tell how long...

How long you have to stay.

Exactly...

You see, my brothers and I

have to go back to work...

Mr. Majumdar, to be quite honest.

Only after 3 weeks will we know for

sure the patient is out of danger.

- Three weeks?

- Three weeks.

Dr. Sahay, I have a suggestion...

My younger brother, Probir.

Hello... Yes, tell me...

The distance isn't much...

If we go back in a week...

We can return if needed...

He is your father. I can't decide.

I can give you my opinion as a doctor.

This is the general rule

for cases like this.

What you want to do

is up to you.

For one week, it is difficult

to give any assurances.

It's just a five hour journey. We

can be called by phone.

Was this your suggestion?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Very well. As you deem fit.

Let's hope for the best. Good bye.

Thank you doctor,

thank you so much.

What is it?

A reporter from The Statesman.

- Wants to meet you.

- Come on.

Please have a seat.

What can I do for you?

I'm a reporter from The Statesman.

Bijon Sarkar. We got to know of

your father's illness from the PTI.

My editor called me about it.

Not much is known

about him in West Bengal.

He asked me to collect

facts to write a story.

I reached here yesterday.

- If you can...

- Sure. Go ahead.

Just a minute...

Can I tell you something about him first?

See if that's right.

Please go ahead.

The name of the place was Salgiri.

Later it was known by Anandnagar.

In the year 1980, on his 60th birthday,

without his permission...

some VIP's took this decision.

And this was announced in

a public meeting in his honour.

Your father was born in Hazaribaug...

That's right.

Yes, My grandfather was teaching

English in St. Columbo school.

Your grandfather's name?

Abhoy Charan Majumdar.

Your father did his Matriculation

from there and came to Calcutta...

Yes. City College.

After his BA, he joined

Orient Mica Works very soon.

Yes, with the recommendation of a friend,

he joined as an apprentice.

At the age of nineteen.

Now I want to know about

your father's progress.

Very simple! Overseer, Manager...

General Manager... Partner.

Oh Great... Hop, skip and jump!

Actually, Baba was noticed by

the top guys from the start.

He was very intelligent

and extremely hard working.

To some extent, he was responsible

for the expansion of Mica Works.

Almost for everything.

It was during his General Manager days.

Increase in output,

export, mine expansion...

New manufacturing units,

upliftment of workers. All due to him.

He is also known and famous

for his humanitarian deeds.

Yes, schools, children's parks,

hospitals, etc.

Workers to date

treat him like God.

He started a small trust in memory

of my mother. Nirupama Trust.

A regular charitable organization.

Your father has numerous qualities.

Which is the most striking?

Yes, without doubt...

his honesty...

Can you give an

example of such a case?

As an export firm, bribes

are normal to get orders.

But Baba never

offered a single penny.

He used to say, the quality of our.

Mica will automatically get orders.

It used to happen.

You are four brothers, right?

- And sister?

- None.

Your mother?

Passed away in 1973.

Thank you. This is enough.

Very good. If you want more details,

there is his biography by...

Jaidev Mukhopadhya - Thank you.

Are you leaving?

I'll just drop in at Col. Chaterjee's.

Listen... I am making coffee for Dada.

If you want some, come up.

Hello... Sanyal?

This is Majumdar from Ananadnagar...

I need to stay here for

a week or so longer...

Please manage everything. And listen,

don't forget Chimanlal's work.

That's very important.

In case you need to call...

The number here is 214... 214...

I'll hang up now. And listen,

if you have to call,

this is the right time.

I saw Sezda going out.

He is a very restless person...

How long could he sit at home...

I won't go without knowing

what has happened to you.

I didn't expect this from you and

I cannot tolerate this behavior.

You must tell me.

I left my job.

- What?

- You heard me.

Have you gone mad? You left a ten

year tenure? Such a good salary...

When did this happen?

December 6, 1989.

A month has passed and

you didn't tell me...

Sorry Bodi.

I did not want to worry you.

What was the reason? Please tell me.

I can't believe this!

Yes, I'll tell you everything.

Why I took up the job; Why I left it.

I'll tell you everything.

Baba wanted me to work with a good firm.

I didn't disappoint Baba.

The reason for taking

up the job... was Baba.

Good work. Good salary.

Everything was fine.

But in the past 10 years

I noticed something wrong.

I started wondering what

was right and what was wrong.

I was doing something

that was hurting my conscience.

And in simple words...

I was not happy.

In the meantime if I see a person...

A person I know very closely...

And know him as an honest man...

Who, with one of his colleagues,

commits a heinous crime

by taking huge bribes.

Of lacs of rupees from a client.

It is impossible to work in

the same office with such a person.

Is he Romenda?

He is more than my brother...

And gave me the job...

How did you know this?

The news leaks. I hear...

And I run to him...

Romenda...

No, no not 15... No...

Not 15... 18 would be okay.

18...

What time? Monday...

At my office... Around 4.30?

- What is it?

- Romenda...

Please tell me just once

that you are doing this...

Doing what? Come sit.

Try to understand. Just once.

I laughed it off.

Even in death I cannot

believe this is true?

If you don't believe, don't.

Why are you getting so upset. Sit.

He casually told me the client's name...

The amount... Where... When...

The people involved... I just...

Did you see the watch?

Rolex. Gold. Brand new.

- Yes...

- Do you know the price?

My head is spinning, Romenda.

Why is it happening?

Why can't I recognise

you in this mask?

Why have you turned

into a different person.

Do you know why?

After being in this line for 10 years,

you've remained an innocent babe.

So it's true...

You and Alokda...

Yes. True.

But Romen Datta will have

a single scratch on him.

Are you blind?

The times have changed.

Your father's principles

do not work in today's world.

Whatever we are doing,

is the law and rule.

If you can't stand it, leave.

You have no future here. Get out.

How terrible...

I've met him a few times.

I'd liked him.

You will like him now too.

You won't see it from the outside;
