Just look at the prawns I've made.
Just look at it once.
- Move aside, I can't watch!
There's no point watching that.
You and your mother
today, both of you will lose.
Hey.
Is East Bengal even a team,
only ten seconds are remaining.
What will they do in ten seconds?
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five, four, three.
Two, one!
- Mother.
Hey!
You guys won by cheating.
- Yes.
Who was cheating the last time?
They got to know
from this Amulya Mitra
about who'd win.
That's why this prawns
curry in its honour.
King of all fishes.
- King of all fishes!
A prawn isn't a fish but an insect.
Is that so?
- I won't eat.
Very good.
It's delicate.
This is what is
known as perfection.
Hey, hey.
Actually, you'd be
sad so I let you win.
If you'd really care about
me, then you wouldn't have
left that amazing job in
Bangalore just after two weeks.
Oh!
The son came in from Bangalore
and what did the father do?
He opened a champagne bottle!
Amazing isn't it?
Mistake.
I shouldn't have spent so
much on the champagne.
You were down
after having a little.
Such a moron.
Go through the dictionary Mr.
You can't say moron to a
person who doesn't drink alcohol.
Why did I even spend
so much on my son's education?
Hey.
Amulya doesn't mean free.
It's priceless.
No one would understand.
- That's why you always wear it.
And if you need to wash it, just
get into the washing machine, okay?
I'm going, I'm done.
Hey, you have a
call It's your aunt.
'Can't you pick it up?'
Yes, aunt.
Tell me.
You got so late
watching the entire match.
Don't you know that you have
an important interview tomorrow?
What if you don't wake up on time?
- You're my alarm clock.
Yes, that's the reason I was born.
- Absolutely.
You said you'll come but didn't.
Dad is making prawns
curry using your recipe here.
I won't wake you in the morning if
you say another nonsensical thing.
Okay, done. Good night.
'I'm Awake'
You won't fall back to
sleep after you get up, right?
Should I call you again
after I board the school bus?
'Archie, hey Archie'.
- No.
'Did you wake up yet?'
'Archie?'
I will get the door.
Will our Amulya Ratan
let me sleep anymore?
Okay bye.
'Archie get up!'
-'Archie!'
-Wait, let me open the door.
'Is the interview online?'
Hey, Amulya Mitra,
can I get the towel?
I'm getting late.
Thank you.
Hey, get out.
It's your shirt.
- Okay, just go now.
'I've told you so many times
to not light mom's lamp'
'with that dirty lighter'
Wow, my father is so pure.
It's my mother, I'll handle it.
Give me my food,
the interview is today.
Sir.
Oh my!
That was for your lunch box.
Oh, there's no more
left now Give me the egg.
You shouldn't eat round things when
going out for something auspicious.
Is that so?
There, I ate a round thing
What will happen now?
I'll fail this time too!
- Very well.
You're stuck on that same thing
and then you ask why did
I leave the Bangalore job
after just two months?
What should I do?
Confidence, my son.
Now you'll see
how my Shahrukh Khan
hits a sixer at that point.
Wait.
- Shahrukh Khan!
Hey.
What did you do?
Will the interviewer look at
me or the spit on my head?
Just wipe your hair
with your hands once.
That was the most
effective thing in our time.
That's why you've such
amazing hair, Amresh Puri.
It's okay, enough now.
Get a taxi.
Bye.
May God bless you.
Thank you.
'Sir, four-ninety'
Hmm.
Educational Qualification.
Not bad.
- Job experience.
Your father is a central
government employee.
If you wait for a couple
of years, you'll get his job.
Yes sir, after leaving the
Bangalore job in two weeks
my father's laughter club members
did say that your
son will get your job
but my father knew
what his son wanted.
I'm an engineer, I'd get
bored in a post office.
So, you brought the elephant
out in the room yourself, huh?
Impressive.
Actually, ma'am, you can't keep the
elephant in the closet for a long.
Last time the
interviewers on that side
had got it out themselves.
So, I got a bit nervous.
I thought what if this time I
get the elephant out myself.
But why did you irresponsibly
leave the job within two weeks?
Actually, ma'am, after moving
to Bangalore my sense of
responsibility wasn't allowing
me to stay apart from my father.
'Actually, he's old'
'He does everything on his own'
'but forgets to take his medicines'
After mom died
he raised me himself
and all of my mother's
memories are in this house
and thus he won't be
able to leave the house too.
He took my
responsibility for so long.
Now it's my turn.
If I can't be responsible
for my father
then how can I be
responsible for my job?
Okay, what if someday you need
to choose between
your family and your job?
Which one will you choose?
Both of them sir. Since childhood,
after reading Spider-Man
I got to know that
balancing is very important.
He surely knows when
I'm about to smoke.
Tell me.
Hello, dear.
Archie, hello.
- Yes, tell me.
Yes. Hey, why did
you pick up the phone
amid the interview?
Why did you even call?
Hey, I can hear the
noises on the road.
'That means your
interview got over'
Finish.
It's okay, nothing will happen.
'Didn't Shakespeare say that'
failure is the stepping
stone to success?
Yes, Shakespeare said that to you
and that's why no one else knows.
Ooff, stop these flop
dialogues to cheer me up.
Why do you feel sad?
You'll only feel
sad if you stay sad.
Listen, don't roam around
in the sun, come back home.
Such a great person.
Interview done.
Job confirmed, next week joining.
They said that I'll make
my father very proud.
What?
Wow.
Yes, I'm telling you the truth.
Amazing work son!
Didn't I tell you so?
Wow, you've started
your drama again, right?
Hey, will you take
your cigarette or am
I am supposed to hold
it for the entire day?
Archie.
Righteousness is the compass that
guides us towards moral integrity.
Hello? Hello?
There's some disturbance.
- 'Come home and I'll show'
'you disturbance. You'll
see what happens after you.
Hey, sister.
- Hmm.
Give me ten rupees, please.
I don't give alms.
You've to do something for me.
- What?
Can you write your name?
Learn it quickly and then
I'll give you the money.
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind"
"has smeared the eyes with dust."
"His wings tied, his heart"
"lost, it has housed his eyes."
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind"
"has smeared the eyes with dust."
"Where is his sand castle?"
"That thought has been
housed in his heart."
"She is what my heart seeks."
"But she isn't like me."
Hey mister!
The entire day will go by.
Here you go.
I don't have change.
Oh, crap!
Yeah, get going.
'Like me my son has
always believed that'
'every Raj has a Simran'
'Every Rahul has an Anjali'
'That's it, today it was proven'
I was right.
The door was open,
when did you arrive?
A long time ago.
You were tensed and
didn't go to the office today.
Where did you go the entire day?
I went out to inform everyone.
My engineer son has got such a great
job, I've to tell everyone, right?
Wait, let two weeks pass.
Great.
What are doing over there?
Food is ready.
You're on leave today.
We can't have
outside food every day.
You'll suffer from
intestinal ulcer.
I was saying.
Wouldn't you eat this mutton too?
What did you show me now?
It melts in your mouth.
Wow, that's amazing.
What will we have it with?
So?
- Oh my!
Just a second.
I'll just order, okay?
It's showing ten minutes.
Five minutes.
It'll be done in
five minutes, chill.
I thought I'll let you rest for
a day but that didn't happen.
'I'm only fifty-five now'
I still have five years to
get old and take a leave.
Who did you inform?
Everyone means everyone.
Did you inform aunt?
Did you inform aunt?
I'm getting old
I don't remember everything,
why don't you just call her?
You still have five
years to get old.
You just completely
forgot about aunt.
Dad!
Dad!
Hey, Amulya Mitra.
Hey, where is dad?
You don't know anything.
Dhat!
Dad! Hey!
Come on, give it to me.
Did you like it?
- Thank you.
Okay, that's enough now
I've to go to the
insurance office for a bit
to deposit the premium
Will you take me there?
Please.
Let's go. Let me get changed first.
Then I'll change too.
- Okay.
'Did you crack it?'
'Move ahead'
'A little bit more'
'Move ahead please'
Hey, dad.
Loosen your grip, my
intestines will pop out.
Look at the front otherwise
you'll cause an accident.
Ooff, just chill.
Hey, why did you turn here?
It's over there We
need to go straight.
Why didn't you listen to me?
Did you tell me the real thing?
You pay the premium online and you
were going to pay that on a Sunday.
'You were the first
to sit on my bike'
'That's the real deal, right?'
Get down.
Aunt.
Shubha, how are you?
I'm good.
Thank god, I've you.
There you go, Goddess
Lakshmi is on your bike now.
Come here.
Come inside for a bit now
I've cooked 'Kachoris'
and white potatoes.
No, this wasn't required.
Let it slide today.
-'Why? What is there to fear about?'
-No
there's nothing to fear.
'But I don't get many leaves'
'from the department so'
Archie!
Archie, where are you?
What was this?
What happened?
Hey, stop.
- Oh no!
Stop right there.
Why did you break a red light?
- Sir, please let me go.
Why? Are you Sahrukh Khan?
- Sir.
Give me the keys Why
did you break a red light?
Is Mr Bhatacharjee still
there on the ground floor?
Whenever I use to go meet
Archie after Sriti's death
he used to taunt me and say.
'Why is Soumatam
repeatedly visiting them?'
Let it be, what's the need to talk
about all that after so many years?
Has anything changed
after all these years?
There he is.
Hey! There's Archie.
Where did you zoom
out, leaving us behind?
Can two people be alone?
Did you come back alone?
Where's the girl?
In Archie's Gallery.
Wow!
This is amazing.
The heroine has made an entry.
Did you hide such news from me?
You hide so many things too.
What do I hide?
I shouldn't hide too, right?
I saw it on the road once.
I don't to where did
she vanish after that.
End of story.
Will you give up so easily?
- What should I do?
How far did you follow her today?
Why?
You're crazy and I'm a monkey
who came here listening to you.
A statistical report says
that there are about 1.5
crore people living in Kolkata.
Out of which Seventy
Lakh are women.
Thirty per cent of that
are senior citizens
and thirty per cent are minor, so?
There remain only ten
per cent for guys like you.
That's why I don't find a girl.
That's what you're implying, right?
- Just listen to me.
In this ten per cent, only
one per cent of them
ride a prepaid taxi.
Won't you be able to find her
in that one per cent in Kolkata?
One per cent of 1.5
crores is 1.5 lakh.
While I have this, I won't
even feel my stomach ulcer.
Look at that girl in the taxi.
- Where?
This is the energy that you need.
Let's go, it's my joining tomorrow.
I can't understand you.
You've fallen in love
and won't you be able to find
your girl in these 1.5 lakh women?
When I was in love with Sriti,
I saw her everywhere I looked.
'By saying this, I could form a
chemical reaction in my son's mind'
If your delay so much, then.
Yes, the iron gate.
Yes, okay.
Hey, wait.
Just wait for two minutes.
Sir, I've arrived.
- Great, give this to me.
May God bless you.
Dhat!
Work nicely and enrich
for the family name.
Here you go, you
can eat it as well.
"Suddenly again, a familiar wind"
"has brushed my eyes."
"Suddenly again,
a familiar wind made"
"my heart laugh
when it touched me."
"In the midst of the
night, his heart has"
"found its home,
losing everything else."
'Why are you going from here?'
Don't you see this is a
one-way? Go from there.
'What happened, can't you hear me?'
Sorry.
Go from that side.
"Taking the form of the
clouds, the winds came in"
"and have built a
great dam in my heart."
"On the lips of laughter,
as gestures unfold"
"may say to me all about her."
"The clouds have found out"
"about the hidden
voice of my heart."
"My eyes turned red
like the Palash flower."
"May she know about everything."
"She's what my heart seeks."
"But she isn't like me."
Hey.
It's medicine time What's that?
I can hear noises, you forgot
to take your medicines again.
I didn't forget at all.
What do you think of yourself?
Hey, did you reach
your office properly?
Yes, hang up the phone now.
Hi everyone, welcome to RTGI.
Hope we have a...
You are late.
Please be punctual next time.
Okay? Come in
so, as I was saying.
The three most important roles that
you've to maintain in RTGI are...
First, is loyalty.
Second, you work
hard and you party hard.
Excuse me, are you with us?
'A lot of people don't have
respect for other's time'
That was your last line.
Archit Mitra.
Hmm.
Not bad.
No, I was just trying
to look at the name.
Niharika Gupta.
'Madam'.
- Yes.
The boss is calling you.
Hi, Archit.
Moinak, okay.
- Archie.
Hello.
- Archie.
Pritha, hi.
Niharika.
Hi.
'We have our friend
Dipendu with us'
'to tell his love story Dipendu,
don't you have a bike?'
'Did you ever make
Majarika sit on your bike?'
'Yes, why wouldn't I?'
'I used to wait since
my college days'
-'I used to take her out'
-Hey, give me the helmet
'after the college ended'.
- Here.
'Where did you take her out to?
- We went to the lake'
Why are you laughing?
You took
two helmets with you.
You kept it in the pan shop
and you couldn't ask the girl?
Will she count the
number of helmets?
You're such a fool.
Where were you?
Hi.
Hi
I heard that you can't speak
when I'm in front of you.
There's this game.
Truth or dare.
For you, it should be
Truth and dare.
In my childhood, we used to play
truth or dare in a different style.
Is that so?
We used to make paper
planes and throw them in the sky.
The person on whom it landed
upon used to select truth or dare.
Come let's make paper planes.
- Correct!
Let's go.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
Why can't you say anything
when you see Niharika?
Are you a virgin?
- 'Come on, tell me.'
'Tell, tell'
'Can I get your bike keys?'
'You must, I mean' -Hey!
Let me see a Shahrukh pose.
Amazing, good job!
Doesn't he look like a
character from the 90s cinema?
He's such a virgin.
Shut up! That's not a big deal.
Do you know what I feel?
This is all a facade.
He's just doing what
one does to get girls.
Everyone is like you, right?
Hey, stop it.
Bye.
- Bye.
Hey, Niharika.
Come, let go of your cab.
- I'm booking a cab.
Come here.
Come on.
- Okay.
Get in.
Thank you very much.
Every day this can...
If a girl talks to a guy, then does
that mean he's her boyfriend?
Do you have such a shallow mind?
So, will she just hop into his car?
My idiot, he would've dropped
her daily if he were her boyfriend.
Moinak is working in that office
with Niharika even before you.
And apart from that
you never talked to
her for a lift, have you?
Then how will she know?
It's time you tell her.
Or else you'll lose the
opportunity for a wedding
and instead
you'll be serving cold
drink in the entire reception
I can't just say it like that.
Why not?
Are you a silent film?
The latest survey says
that ninety-nine per cent
of girls like a guy like you.
Do tell her, or
else you'll miss it.
What?
For now, the office.
There you go.
One minute.
- Why do you always do this?
It's raining, take an umbrella.
It's grandpa's umbrella.
Bye.
Hey, hold the umbrella Take this.
If you give me the umbrella,
then won't you wet yourself?
What should I do? I can't hold
the umbrella while riding the bike
I have an idea.
- What is it?
That's it, over here.
This one.
Wow!
It's a big house.
Do you earn a lot?
No.
The rent is less, it's a PG.
What about your family?
They live in Malda.
Are you planning on
knowing everything today?
All these days, you never
spoke a sentence in front of me.
Actually, you're a senior so,
I was just showing respect.
Hey, don't make me old.
In this job, I'm just six
months senior to you.
Your birth year?
Why? Are you searching for a bride?
How much is your salary? Where
do your parents live? My birth year.
Oh my god!
I see that the guy's face
turns red with embarrassment.
You really don't belong
to this era, Archie.
Go home now.
Where do you live?
Umm.
Nearby.
- Hmm.
Oh!
You'll only take forty
minutes to reach home.
Would you like some coffee?
No, maybe another day.
Another day?
So, are you planning
on dropping me again?
Chance pe dance, huh!
I was just being nice to you.
Now go home!
Bye.
Bye.
While riding, how many
times did he brake
so that you fall on him?
Not a single time.
- Didn't he want to come up?
Didn't I tell you that
Archie is not of this era?
He time-travelled to
here straight from the 90s.
Moinak is right,
everything is a facade.
Moinak is just jealous.
Thank you.
How was she sitting?
On the side?
Hey.
Was she holding your
shoulders or your waist?
Tell me.
She sat by putting her
legs on either side
while holding the rod behind.
Wow, she's a good girl.
Okay, so while you were going,
what did you guys talk about?
Hey.
Did you fall asleep?
How can someone fall
asleep after such an incident?
Back in our days,
for the whole night.
You spent so much on
fuel and dropped her home.
Your money should
be put to good use.
Hey, your 90s guy has sent you
a friend request after midnight.
Oye! Bad manners.
Hey, haven't you
finished eating yet?
Did you wear your shoes?
I did but what's up with you?
Let's go, or else you'll be late.
You're getting late!
- Where to?
Where else?
We have an important
work to do, come with me.
Where?
- Come with me, I'll tell you.
Come
Archie, come.
Wait.
- Let's go.
It's getting late, Come on.
Dad, where are you taking
me so early in the morning?
We have a lot of
work to do, Come on.
Should I sit?
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Straight and left.
Left, go left.
Yes, now straight
I'll drop you here if you don't
tell me where we're headed
I'll get off myself.
It's just a bit farther.
Go straight.
Go straight and take a right.
What is this?
I shouldn't have told
you Niharika's address.
Just keep going, don't talk.
Hey, stop right here.
Stop right here.
What are you doing?
Now, the rest is up to you.
I have a very important work.
Very smart.
Are you the only one?
Hey, why are you leaving?
Hey, Amulya Mitra!
Hey, Archie.
Why are you here?
I had some - You had some work!
What If I don't go with you?
Nothing much.
You'll waste 200 rupees
and the fuel I just filled to
come here will go to waste too.
Give me the helmet.
What does Niharika mean?
Something hard to find.
Something difficult to see.
Basically, something out of reach.
That means, telescopic.
Telescopic!
What? Telescopic?
Being my son, how could
you be so unromantic?
I'll banish you.
Couldn't you think
of something else?
What about 'Door gagan ka tara'?
'Door gagan ka tara'
That's nice.
'Door gagan ka tara'
Niharika.
Yes.
Wait, let me play.
Is this how you play?
Is it your birthday?
No, I'm about to create
a record in my career.
For the first time
I'll cross a month,
I left the previous
job after two weeks.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
What about me?
- Sure.
Thank you.
You can't just be let off the
hook with some chocolates.
The moment you get your salary,
you'll have to treat everyone.
Sorry boss.
The first salary is
only for my parents.
Wow!
He's not even from the 90s.
He's an Amol Palekar.
- Not even that.
He's Shravan Kumar
from the Satyayug.
Exactly!
Hey.
- What happened?
What?
You guys!
Why did you do this?
- What happened?
Here you go.
There, you wasted
my fifteen rupees.
Argue if you're angry.
Why are you punishing your lungs?
Does Amol Palekar argue?
He solves everything
using his brains
and you're the real hero.
You've made me
your fan by saying that
your first salary
is for your parents.
Your joking, right?
I'm complimenting you.
Learn to take it, idiot.
Don't be sad now.
Today is Saturday night
We will all party in the disco.
Spare me the disco.
Are you still angry?
I don't like disco that much
I'll drop dead the moment I drink.
And I don't even know how to dance.
Okay.
Okay.
This is my son's first salary.
Don't do this, I don't like it.
Hey, I just refused once.
Why did she say okay and leave?
Just okay.
- What could be better than that?
She understood you
and didnt nag much.
What else do you want?
She'll go dancing
in the disco with Moinak.
Great!
Only Moinak?
No, there are others too.
Then what is it?
You're not getting it. What if?
Over there, what if she
drinks a bit.
What state would she be in?
Are you bitching
or getting worried?
If you're bitching, then I've got a
filter in my ears, nothing goes in.
And if you're worried
then what will you
gain by sitting here?
You're too much.
Thank you.
'Yes, no one can wait now'
'This time'
Hey
Archie?
You, over here?
Why didn't you come inside?
I was thinking about
how you'll go home.
Oho! Knight in shining armour.
Where's the bike?
I didnt bring
the bike today because...
Let me book you a cab.
Actually, I didnt know what
would be your condition.
What do you mean? Did
you think that I'll drink?
I came here to dance and I'll
go home after that. That's it.
Oho! So, you've come to
drop all the girls home, right?
Or only a particular person?
Let's go.
I'll send you the money.
Hang up the phone,
I'll call you later.
Hey.
Thank you.
Anytime.
A cup of coffee?
Some other day.
Bye.
Oh! Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
- Let's go.
Hey, are you done? Let's go.
Let's go.
'Tomorrow is Sunday, do
you want to go somewhere?'
'Where do you want to go?'
'Wherever you want to, surprise me'
Victoria! Seriously?
Come.
Seriously?
People come here to romance.
Let me explain
Archie, this isn't a date.
Have you come here before?
No! Why will I come here?
I've come here many times.
Come.
Are we going here?
Come, it won't be that bad.
Come.
Let's go.
Hey, not from there.
From here.
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind."
"Look at how it collects sunlight."
"The way it spreads pearls
in the Queen's Alley"
"by making a nest in this heart."
"All of a sudden, as it wishes"
"it throws colour in
it's own uniqueness."
"In the celebration
of bliss, that toy"
"entwined in the hearts."
"She is the what my heart seeks"
"I think she is like me."
"She is the what my heart seeks"
"I think she is like me."
Isn't this a nice place?
- It's very nice.
I was really unaware
that there are so
many beautiful places
I had no idea.
Actually, people look at Lake
and Victoria with a bad sight.
But I come here in my childhood
I know everything.
Dad used to bring me
here when I was small.
I used to come here to play.
Let's go.
- Hmm.
Enjoying yourself?
Please buy a doll.
Will you get one?
This is so sweet.
Wow.
Hey, this.
It is yours.
Thank you.
Very close but not
too touchy, right?
Obviously not.
Look.
Many days have passed by.
In this era of 20-20, will it work
if you play a test match?
You must advance to the next level.
Hey dad!
- No, I did not mean that.
You have to propose to her now.
Otherwise, you'll be
buying silver bracelets for her son
in Goriahat.
You speak too much.
Listen.
Valentine's Day is near.
It's a good day.
Take her to the best pub in Kolkata.
Shed some money, do some dancing
buy some roses
write some poems
make some.
- Again with your English!
No, you can't just avoid this.
Assume that you're proposing to her.
Right now, fresh.
How will you begin?
'Priyatama'
Does anyone say 'Priyatama' now?
So...
'Door gagan ki tara'
'Door gagan ka tara'.
- Okay
I look at you from afar.
I'm afraid of getting close.
Even if you're out of reach
why do you seem to be closer to me?
Amazing.
Even if you're far,
Even if you're close.
'In love and fights'
'you have Biryani and more.
'Be there in the morning tea'
'along with me'
'Is I love you very cliche?'
'But what if I want to say'
'I love you?'
'Why will you understand
if I say something else?'
'What if I don't say anything?'
'You'll understand, right?'
'Won't you get it?'
"Who'll drown in their wine
glass today evening and sway?"
"Who'll drown in their wine
glass today evening and sway?"
"The black eyes are watching,
my heart won't listen to me today."
"This heart will immerse
itself in the storm."
"I'm like Shahrukh Khan
standing in the storm."
"You came running like
Kajol, Let's fall in love today."
"You're like like Sharukh
Khan standing in the storm."
"If you come running to me,
Dil wale, then let's fall in love."
"The twinkling night
reveals you in every corner"
"searching for
yourself in the mirror."
"I think my heart
got caught today."
"Let law and order aside,
let's share it amongst us."
"Let's see who thinks what."
"Amidst the clouds, a
thought arises today"
"mingling with the stars,
descending from the sky."
"If someone could call the rain."
"Lips to lips, feeling shy,"
"two individuals apart,
overcome by fear."
"Hiding the heart in the drenched
wind, a rose arises from my chest."
"It still says that this
heart wants even more."
"You're just like Shahrukh
Khan standing beside me."
"If I come to you,
Dilwale, Let's fall in love"
"I'm just like the Shahrukh
Khan standing beside you"
"and now you've run to
me like Kajol, let's fall in love"
"I'm just like Shahrukh
Khan standing beside you"
"and now you've run to
me like Kajol, let's fall in love."
Sir, I had told you before
that I won't go further.
You have to get down here.
- What do you mean? Let's go
Archie, it's okay Let's
get down over here.
Will you be able to go home?
- Yes I can.
Brother, come here, please.
- Yes madam, coming.
Yes, hold him nicely.
- I can.
Careful.
- I'm alright.
Upstairs.
- Sure.
Hey!
- Careful.
Archie - I'm fine.
Be careful.
Be careful.
- Careful.
Where should I put him down?
- Over there.
Oh okay. Sir, please sit down.
- Careful.
Thank you.
- Okay, madam.
Hey, is everything okay?
Yes, I hope so.
He got very drunk by
just having some wine.
He was tumbling that's
why I had to get him home.
What? He's in our home?
'I'm telling you, listen'
'Archie knows that I'm
going out with Moinak today'
'and that's why he's
taking you to a pub today'
'Impossible! You're
overreacting in vain'
'He'll spike your
drink. I'm telling you'
'I'd even think twice if
it were someone else'
-'but Archie? Never'
-'Everything's a facade, okay?'
'Make sure he doesn't
come home in any way'
'Don't allow him at all'
'It can't be, how much will bet?'
Hey Moinak, come here quickly.
- Yes, tell me.
It's an emergency, take
me home right away.
What is this, Archie?
What are you doing here? Sit down.
No, I can't sit down.
It won't work like that.
Try to understand,
it's the next level.
Archie, stop it!
- Hey.
Listen to me, wait, let me open it.
How can I show you this?
- Just shut up!
Hey, Niharika, I
I'm engaged, stop it.
Engaged!
That's enough, no more.
Are you okay?
- Moinak, just
take him away.
- Hey, get lost.
Come, sit down.
- Engaged.
Are you okay?
Are you fine?
Don't let that guy,
Archie ever come in.
Did you get it?
Hey Archie, are you okay?
Is everything okay?
Did you drop the girl off properly?
Hey crazy fellow,
did propose to her?
Hey.
Did she say?
- I don't feel good.
I'm sleepy, can we talk later?
Hey, are you unwell?
Hey, what happened? Tell me.
What will you do knowing about it?
You'll cook something good
and that will make me feel better.
or will you discuss this
with your laughter club
members on how will you
solve my problem, right?
Just let me know,
I'll fix everything.
You'll fix everything, right?
Everything.
How will you fix it?
Are you God?
What are you saying?
- I'm saying the right thing.
I've grown up, dad.
Learn to give me my
space and privacy.
Don't put your nose into everything.
Take her to a pub, propose to her.
Am I your puppet?
Not everything is a movie,
dad, You can't control everything!
I'm not controlling. Never!
I'm just like your friend.
- Get lost!
A friend?
A father can never be a friend.
A father is always a father.
Get lost.
Listen.
Let me just make you an omelette.
'He is heartbroken'
'That's why the pieces are so loud'
'Was it that necessary'
'to make my son's life a
copy of a retro-romantic movie?'
'You'll face issues in love'
'Why is that?'
'He has lost you'
'It's not a happy beginning'
'The rest could have been better'
'But the movie isn't
running in a cinema hall,'
'where you could
just add some spice'
'But what happened with Niharika?'
'I don't get it'
Niharika.
- Hmm.
Yes, ma'am
I gave you such big news, there
wasn't any reaction from you.
Where is your mind wandering?
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
I said, the entertainment zone
the recreational zone
which you had proposed,
that has been approved.
Congratulations.
That isn't my proposal, ma'am.
It was Archie's.
I had just forwarded it as HR.
So, where is Archie?
I haven't seen him today.
I suppose he hasn't
arrived today, ma'am.
Didn't come? Why?
I don't know, ma'am.
What do you mean?
He's not a guy who would be
absent without prior notice.
Did he tell you anything?
I thought the two of
you were rather close.
No, ma'am.
Oh!
Then go and find out.
Go, see.
Find out what happened?
- Yes, ma'am.
Hmm.
'The number you've called
is currently switched off.'
'You can now leave a voice SMS by'
'dialling star followed
by the mobile number'
'The number you've called
is currently switched off'
'If you are a customer, then'
'you can dial start followed by'
'the mobile number
to send a voice SMS'
Have you taken a bath?
Archie, I'm serving food.
Archie.
Hey, Archie.
Won't you eat? What's happening?
The food is cooked already.
Open the door.
My dear, open the door.
Archie.
Archie.
Archie, what's happening?
Archie, open the door!
Archie, I'm getting
scared Open the door!
Open it!
What's all this?
What's happening?
'All doors to Archie's
gallery are closed.'
'This is a storm'
'I'm not able to stop it.'
'But being a father,
how can I just twiddle.'
'my thumbs and hope that
everything will be okay in the end?'
'What should I do?'
'What can I even do?'
'I'm not God'
'and he's not my puppet'
'Isn't it?'
'Meddling into his affairs.'
'raising him like a retro hero.'
'It's all my fault'
'I've made a huge mistake.'
'The love'
'that Archie understands'
'is that obsolete
in today's world?'
Hey.
Archie, everything is
fine, nothing happened.
It's okay.
It's okay That's enough.
Stand up, hold me.
Okay, okay.
Careful.
'Archie, are you already leaving?'
'Yes, move aside.'
Archie
Archie, hear me out.
Archie.
Archie.
Mail the file once it's done.
- Okay.
Where is Archie?
What's your business with Archie?
Just tell me where he is.
He has gone to the Boss's cabin.
What is this?
You brought a
resignation letter all of a sudden.
What happened?
Is there an issue? Speak freely.
We can solve
I don't feel like it anymore, ma'am.
I want to move out of Kolkata.
Will a guy like you leave Kolkata?
But you said so many
things during the interview.
I said that to secure
the job, ma'am.
Is there a problem? I mean...
Please speak freely.
No, ma'am.
Look here.
If you've
decided on leaving the job
then I won't stop you.
But wherever you go
please work sincerely
and try to
settle down in life.
Okay?
Thank you, ma'am.
Archie, hear me out
Archie, listen to me.
Niharika.
Niharika!
Yes, ma'am
Archie just gave
in his resignation.
What?
- Yes.
Archie.
What has happened?
Archie.
Give me the helmet.
Here you go.
Archie
Archie, what's wrong with you?
Just hear me out once
Archie!
Hey, something has happened to him.
Someone, have a look.
Hey, Amulya.
Hey, Amulya.
What happened?
Where were you?
I kept calling you
but you didn't answer.
What happened?
Amul Uncle Amulya.
Come with me.
Come quickly.
There.
Go inside dear.
Dad!
Archie.
Did you come back?
Archie, I'm fit. Nothing
has happened to me.
These oldies are shouting and
have turned the hall into a theatre.
Doctor, what happened?
I was returning from the market
and I lost my balance and fell.
They're acting as
if I'm bowled out.
If they could, then they'd book
a place in that cremation ground.
Is that so easy?
Are you the person to retreat
before crossing a hundred?
Now that he has seen his son
he's speaking after so long
Archie, come with me
I'm writing you some
medicines, please get them.
Come
I'll be back.
Uncle, look after him.
Come.
Look.
I'm assuming that he
has suffered a mild stroke.
Stroke?
- Hmm.
The ECG report is not good.
Do one thing, make
sure you do an Echo today
I'll go right away - No.
You don't have to be so restless.
For now, this danger has
been overcome, understood?
Actually
proper action was taken instantly
that's why.
Is he fine now?
Look.
He's getting old now.
He's not as strong
as he shows himself to be.
You've to take upon the reigns now.
Timely food, sleep and medicines
so that his pressure and
sugar levels remain in check.
Okay?
Hey.
Did he suffer from any
acute tension in between?
I'll take care of him.
Dad.
Dad.
Good morning.
Careful.
Archie - Get up slowly.
You don't have to come inside now.
I can do it.
Be careful.
I'm right outside,
don't lock the door.
Here you go.
Wait, let me try.
Let me...
It's hot.
Right.
Right.
- Hmm.
Who made this?
A ghost.
This is disgusting.
Thank you.
Sorry dad.
Why so?
I was a bit scared.
So, this is the best way
to make you say sorry?
Okay, that's enough now.
It's still not over.
'Babumoshai'
'zindagi aur maut'
'upar wale ke'
My god, it's too much.
'Open the door'
Wait, I'm opening it.
Oh my god!
It's you who has opened the
door so early in the morning.
On other days,
you're just sleeping.
From, now, I'll behave nicely.
Don't you take it the other way?
You're godly people, can I
ever think wrong about you guys?
Archie - Hmm.
What is Uncle Amulya's
phone doing in this room?
It keeps on ringing
near the ears all the time.
That's why I kept it
there, it's very disturbing.
Should I pick it up?
- Yes.
Hello.
Hello, is Archie.
Is Archit Mitra there?
Who is it?
I'm no one, I mean,
I'm speaking from his office.
Actually, I couldn't reach
him over the phone
and his father's number was
saved as his alternate number.
That's why.
Oh!
Who are you?
Please hold
Archie, it's a call
from your office.
Wait, I'm coming.
He - Hello.
Hello.
'Hello, Archie'
Tell her that
it's the wrong number. Take it.
'Are you able to hear me?'
Archie.
Hello
Archie said it was the wrong number.
Hmm.
Why didn't you talk to her?
Was it that girl from before?
She's not your sister-in-law.
She's marrying someone else.
Oh my.
Does that mean that she
betrayed you for someone else?
No one betrayed me.
I was a fool to fall in love.
Can you avoid falling in love?
But yes.
You shouldn't have any expectations,
it will certainly break your heart.
Can you remove her
from your heart even
if you've wiped her
off from your wall?
What happened on the
contrary? Uncle Amulya got sick.
'Archie makes such good fish curry'
'It reminds me of his mother'
'Where did he learn it from?'
'Sriti's cooking was amazing'
Now, even you can cook well.
- Hey, aunt.
When did you arrive?
What did you think? Will you be able
to keep such an incident from me?
Since I couldn't contact
you, I came here myself
to scandalise your father a little.
Yes, telepathy
can really work
I'll give you a tight one now!
As usual, I met Mr. Bhatacharjee
on the way here
and I guess he was
waiting for me too.
What did you do?
What else will I do?
I just greeted him.
That oldie was shocked.
Careful.
- Water, please.
Here you go.
Thank you, Shubho.
'You've become an expert'
Archie, you've grown up.
Have you managed everything alone?
Don't people say
that people learn
when they stumble?
Maybe it's the same with me.
I'm responsible for
dad's current condition
I've neglected him a lot
I've even said a lot
of things to him.
You've understood nothing.
Guys are a bit stupid.
Nothing happened to your father
because you said some things to him.
The things that you
haven't told you, father
are eating him from the inside.
What transpired with
that girl that night
for which you're punishing
yourself so much?
Wow.
Didn't I tell you
that having
Archie's fish curry
reminds you of Sriti?
Archie, your future wife
will be very happy.
When my wife arrives,
you guys will be happy.
Isn't it?
I got it.
Start looking for a match.
Also, you can post ads
on the matrimonial sites.
What are you saying?
What about Niharika?
Didn't I tell you?
'Door gagan ka tara.'
Out of your reach.
Chapter closed.
Impossible.
Hey, what happened that night?
Won't you tell me?
What if you have a
stroke once I tell you?
It won't happen if you say
but may happen if you don't say.
She saw me
only as a friend.
Such a friend
who didn't even mention
that she's engaged.
I don't believe it.
Make me meet her once.
It's not possible.
She thinks
of me as a rapist.
It's not her
mistake though.
The mistake is...
'Hey give me ten rupees please.'
'I don't give alms, you've
to do something for me.'
'What?'
'Can you write your name?
- No'
'Learn it quickly and I'll
give you the money after that.'
'Hmm.'
Why are you here?
How did you get my address?
I'm an HR, Archie.
Finding your address
isn't a big deal.
But I didn't want
to come like this.
Why weren't you answering my calls?
I've tried so many times.
It wasn't necessary for you to
come here for a mere wedding card
I've not come here
for a wedding card.
Have you come here to
hand me over to the police?
I've come here to talk.
Is there anything
else to talk about?
Yes! Come with me.
Where?
Come.
What I'm trying to say is.
Actually...
I had been contemplating
it for a while.
I really may have
made a huge mistake.
I'm sorry. That day I...
- It's okay.
Anything else?
Are you behaving like this, Archie?
I grew up in a boys
school since childhood.
That's why I don't know how to talk
to girls or how to behave with them.
Anyway, I made a mistake,
and it won't repeat itself.
Look, I live in the city alone.
I got a bit scared.
Yes, that's common.
A person can become a
rapist from just being a friend.
You never know that's
what they show on TV, right?
You won't hear me out, right?
Have you already decided?
Who am I to decide?
I heard you, I even
supported you Now let's go.
Will you even ruin the
friendship between us?
No, we're just friends!
I'll attend your wedding if you
invite and also enjoy the food.
I'll even decorate the pandal
if I stay in Kolkata.
But the chances are slim
I've cleared the first
round in a big MNC.
Tomorrow is the final round.
Oh! I'm getting married too.
I'll send you an
invitation card, do come.
Great.
I may be wasting your time.
You really are busy.
Let's go.
It's getting dark.
Yes.
It is getting dark.
Let's go.
My
helmet.
Will you buy a doll?
No.
Oh, madam.
Can I tell you something?
It's not good for you to roam
around alone after dark, okay?
Where will you go?
Tell us, and we'll drop you.
No thanks.
- No, it's our duty.
I've people with me.
Hey madam, listen.
- Madam, where are you going?
Hey madam, listen to us once.
Just hear us out.
Let's go, Come on.
Get going.
Let's go.
"I'll return every moment"
"that you've snatched
away from me."
"You broke all the dreams that"
"I had kept hidden in my heart"
"I will gather everything"
"that was never really lost."
"I'll give back everything to you"
"what is no longer between us."
Thank you, Archie.
Archit.
No need to thank me.
Can I leave now?
Don't say that you're leaving.
Say that you'll be back soon.
There's no coming back.
"That's why let all your
memories fade away."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"Stay with me. Stay with me."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"The night has the
our desires safe with it."
"I think they're awake as I can
still see them in my dreams."
"The morning which woke us
up gathered our shattered hopes"
"I think we won't meet anymore,
this is how everything ends."
"Take away all the nights"
"which never became ours."
"That's why, let your
memories fade away."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"Stay with me. Stay with me."
"Let the time we spent
together be with me."
"Stay with me."
"Stay with me."
It's so late.
Wow.
You're ready to go.
Yes.
Last night you had to sleep
on the roof because of me.
You had to stay back
at night because of me.
Anyway, I don't have an issue
with sleeping upstairs. It's breezy.
I like sleeping there.
Take this
I've made hot 'kachoris'
and potato curry.
Do eat, okay?
I'll have that
but you can't leave today.
What do you mean?
Wow, what's so shocking?
I have an interview today
and today is the final stage.
Once it's over, then all done.
'I'll land the job'
'and aunt'
I was saying, could you spend some.
'I mean can you stay
along with dad for today?'
No, I don't think she
should get busy with all this.
Let me care about
what makes me busy.
Let me take care of my health.
My god! You two
fight like little kids
I don't have time
for this, I've to leave.
Yes, we're just kids
and you've grown so much
that you didn't even feel the need
to inform us that
you've left your job
I had a lot of work
pressure, I couldn't handle it.
Yes, that seems to be the case.
You keep quiet
I've spent my entire
life by being quiet.
Where will you have to
go if you get this new job?
I've to move to Delhi.
Not just me but both of...
In fact, all three
of us have to go.
Hey, aunt.
Ahem!
Dad.
Dad, sit here.
Hear me out.
Sit down.
At least you try to understand.
Dad, look.
Maybe this is what's best for us.
This house is unfortunate for us.
At first, mom left us
and after that.
- Maybe I'm the issue.
Why don't you just leave me.
Why are you saying this?
I'm heading out for a good thing.
Don't you want me to...
You want that.
Will you be able to leave Kolkata?
Once a city breaks your heart
you don't feel like living
there anymore, dad.
I want to go far away.
Very far.
A place where I can't even
hear the shehnai of her wedding.
Won't you come with me?
You applied your special
hair gel again, right?
This is lucky.
All your wishes will be fulfilled.
Now you've to sure
about what you want.
'Archie, listen to me'
'Sriti!'
'Just shut up!'
'A father can never be a friend..'
'A father will always be a father.'
'He has suffered a mild stroke.'
'Stroke? There's no coming back.'
Your appointment letter.
Congratulations.
'Shubha'
'Please don't tell Archie.'
'about me going out'
Okay?
Where did you go?
Where did I go?
What happened?
Where?
I didn't go anywhere.
Look, I wearing the same clothes.
Hey, how did your interview
go? Tell us about that.
Start packing your bags.
Next week I'm going to
Delhi I'll look for a nice house
and then I'll take you
both along with me.
Is that so?
Next week?
Wow.
I thought you wouldn't go with me
and make so many excuses.
Good, improvement!
Improvement.
- Shut up.
Sit down.
Sit down.
I'll agree with everything you say
but I have a condition.
Does a father ever set
conditions for his son?
I do.
I agree.
Hear me out first.
Actually, the thing is.
I have a friend.
Her daughter.
I've to get married, right?
I'm ready.
Make sure the date
is in the winter.
It'll be easy for
me to get a leave.
Am I joking? This is
about your marriage.
At least meet her once.
- Hey, dad.
You've met her, right?
The one you've selected
will be the best for me
I that much have faith in you.
Wow.
Hey, remember.
A promise is a promise.
Hey, Shubha.
Will the both of you just.
Are we discussing marriage
or playing with dolls?
Just amazing.
You may not meet her but it's
important that the girl meets you.
Next Sunday, the girl and
her parents are coming.
Both of you will talk
to each other, that's it!
That's it.
Okay.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Hello there
Archie, where are you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
I was in the market, oh
I can't even imagine
what I got today.
You'll be amazed. Wait.
Uh.
Be satisfied.
You went to the
market in this condition?
Hey, I'm all good now.
Absolutely, fit.
I can lift an entire mountain.
I got tired.
I can see that.
All done.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, what's this?
Hey.
We didn't prepare any sweet dishes.
After all this, you're
still, making faces?
My god! Wait, let me order it.
Outside food stands no chance.
You're acting as if the
marriage is final. Don't worry.
you'll get a lot of
time for impressions.
No.
The first impression
is the last impression.
Here.
Amazing job.
Sweets, ready.
Wow!
There are so many things.
What's going on? Will
you guys not take a bath?
If they see the father and
son like this, then the girl
will just faint.
Go take a bath!
Okay.
Go take a bath.
Oh yes.
'This wasn't needed at all'
'It's nothing, just'
'Tell me about the
mangoes over there'
'You guys sit, I'll be back'
'I don't deal with mangoes,
I am usually busy.'
'with the students'
'Oh okay'
Yes, please sit down.
Sit.
- Yes, actually...
I thought about getting
him married before I go.
Hey, why are you over here?
Since you're here,
take this with you.
My sweet boy, hold this.
- That's right.
'Actually, it's just'
'We just have a bit
of land in front of us.'
'You'll have to come.
- It's a big one.'
'This wasn't needed.'
'No, not that big.'
'Neha, what happened?'
'Door gagan ka tara.'
'I watch you from afar but
I'm afraid to get closer to you.'
'But you're out of reach.'
Even if you're far, or close...
In love and fights
You have Biryani.
Be there in the morning tea
along with me.
Is 'I love you too', a cliche?
What if I want to tell you
that I love you?
Why will you understand
if I say something else?
What if I don't say anything?
You'll understand, right?
Won't you understand?
These are the things, Archie
wanted to tell you using a rose.
The rose was stuck
inside.
Inside his shirt.
My Archie isn't a rapist.
He isn't a rapist.
- I know.
Uncle.
- Do you know?
Did you know?
- Come with me.
Come, come inside.
My dear, I'm relieved that
you understood everything.
Otherwise...
being a father with this guilt.
You get it, right?
Do you understand guilt?
- Yes.
I can't take it anymore.
Uncle, please calm down.
Please have some water.
After Archie left that night.
'I saw a rose lying over there.'
'I realised my mistake
after seeing that, Uncle.'
But what should I do?
I have no chance to apologise
to Archie, he won't let me.
I'm sorry, uncle.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologise to me.
I don't have any objections, dear.
You understand objections, right?
I don't have any...
I'm not here to break your marriage.
I bless you that you
always be happy.
My marriage hasn't
been fixed, uncle.
I lied.
What are you saying, dear?
I got scared.
I used to see Archie differently.
A pure and innocent guy.
That, he'd suddenly open his shirt.
I couldn't comprehend, uncle.
I slapped him in front of everyone,
and he'll never forgive me.
Forget about that.
He forgot about the slap long back.
Since then he kept
saying one thing that
she didn't even tell
me that she's engaged.
She didn't even say
that she's engaged!
Even his marriage is fixed, right?
That was a lie.
That's just rubbish.
We weren't searching
for a bride for him.
We were searching for you.
I'm not letting you go, okay?
Listen.
I have a plan.
What's all this, dad?
Is he even your friend?
We'll shake hands and be friends.
I'm not liking your banter.
Now she'll say that her
engagement was called off
that she's ready for the wedding
but will be absent from our wedding.
Everyone will leave me alone, dad.
- No one is leaving you, Archie.
You drift away from others because
of your obstinacy and foolishness.
Did she tell you who
she's going to marry?
Did she tell you about the
date? Did she give you a card?
This is a simple misunderstanding.
She has said so many
lies just to avoid you.
Okay, can I please say something?
- I don't want to hear it.
Hey, Archie - Neha, don't go.
Please don't go.
- Archie, listen.
Let them solve their issues,
we shouldn't meddle in that.
But...
- Archie.
'Only clouds won't work.'

"I used to tell your
tales in a new way."
"There's a photo of
you on a white page."

Just look at the prawns I've made.
Just look at it once.
- Move aside, I can't watch!
There's no point watching that.
You and your mother
today, both of you will lose.
Hey.
Is East Bengal even a team,
only ten seconds are remaining.
What will they do in ten seconds?
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five, four, three.
Two, one!
- Mother.
Hey!
You guys won by cheating.
- Yes.
Who was cheating the last time?
They got to know
from this Amulya Mitra
about who'd win.
That's why this prawns
curry in its honour.
King of all fishes.
- King of all fishes!
A prawn isn't a fish but an insect.
Is that so?
- I won't eat.
Very good.
It's delicate.
This is what is
known as perfection.
Hey, hey.
Actually, you'd be
sad so I let you win.
If you'd really care about
me, then you wouldn't have
left that amazing job in
Bangalore just after two weeks.
Oh!
The son came in from Bangalore
and what did the father do?
He opened a champagne bottle!
Amazing isn't it?
Mistake.
I shouldn't have spent so
much on the champagne.
You were down
after having a little.
Such a moron.
Go through the dictionary Mr.
You can't say moron to a
person who doesn't drink alcohol.
Why did I even spend
so much on my son's education?
Hey.
Amulya doesn't mean free.
It's priceless.
No one would understand.
- That's why you always wear it.
And if you need to wash it, just
get into the washing machine, okay?
I'm going, I'm done.
Hey, you have a
call It's your aunt.
'Can't you pick it up?'
Yes, aunt.
Tell me.
You got so late
watching the entire match.
Don't you know that you have
an important interview tomorrow?
What if you don't wake up on time?
- You're my alarm clock.
Yes, that's the reason I was born.
- Absolutely.
You said you'll come but didn't.
Dad is making prawns
curry using your recipe here.
I won't wake you in the morning if
you say another nonsensical thing.
Okay, done. Good night.
'I'm Awake'
You won't fall back to
sleep after you get up, right?
Should I call you again
after I board the school bus?
'Archie, hey Archie'.
- No.
'Did you wake up yet?'
'Archie?'
I will get the door.
Will our Amulya Ratan
let me sleep anymore?
Okay bye.
'Archie get up!'
-'Archie!'
-Wait, let me open the door.
'Is the interview online?'
Hey, Amulya Mitra,
can I get the towel?
I'm getting late.
Thank you.
Hey, get out.
It's your shirt.
- Okay, just go now.
'I've told you so many times
to not light mom's lamp'
'with that dirty lighter'
Wow, my father is so pure.
It's my mother, I'll handle it.
Give me my food,
the interview is today.
Sir.
Oh my!
That was for your lunch box.
Oh, there's no more
left now Give me the egg.
You shouldn't eat round things when
going out for something auspicious.
Is that so?
There, I ate a round thing
What will happen now?
I'll fail this time too!
- Very well.
You're stuck on that same thing
and then you ask why did
I leave the Bangalore job
after just two months?
What should I do?
Confidence, my son.
Now you'll see
how my Shahrukh Khan
hits a sixer at that point.
Wait.
- Shahrukh Khan!
Hey.
What did you do?
Will the interviewer look at
me or the spit on my head?
Just wipe your hair
with your hands once.
That was the most
effective thing in our time.
That's why you've such
amazing hair, Amresh Puri.
It's okay, enough now.
Get a taxi.
Bye.
May God bless you.
Thank you.
'Sir, four-ninety'
Hmm.
Educational Qualification.
Not bad.
- Job experience.
Your father is a central
government employee.
If you wait for a couple
of years, you'll get his job.
Yes sir, after leaving the
Bangalore job in two weeks
my father's laughter club members
did say that your
son will get your job
but my father knew
what his son wanted.
I'm an engineer, I'd get
bored in a post office.
So, you brought the elephant
out in the room yourself, huh?
Impressive.
Actually, ma'am, you can't keep the
elephant in the closet for a long.
Last time the
interviewers on that side
had got it out themselves.
So, I got a bit nervous.
I thought what if this time I
get the elephant out myself.
But why did you irresponsibly
leave the job within two weeks?
Actually, ma'am, after moving
to Bangalore my sense of
responsibility wasn't allowing
me to stay apart from my father.
'Actually, he's old'
'He does everything on his own'
'but forgets to take his medicines'
After mom died
he raised me himself
and all of my mother's
memories are in this house
and thus he won't be
able to leave the house too.
He took my
responsibility for so long.
Now it's my turn.
If I can't be responsible
for my father
then how can I be
responsible for my job?
Okay, what if someday you need
to choose between
your family and your job?
Which one will you choose?
Both of them sir. Since childhood,
after reading Spider-Man
I got to know that
balancing is very important.
He surely knows when
I'm about to smoke.
Tell me.
Hello, dear.
Archie, hello.
- Yes, tell me.
Yes. Hey, why did
you pick up the phone
amid the interview?
Why did you even call?
Hey, I can hear the
noises on the road.
'That means your
interview got over'
Finish.
It's okay, nothing will happen.
'Didn't Shakespeare say that'
failure is the stepping
stone to success?
Yes, Shakespeare said that to you
and that's why no one else knows.
Ooff, stop these flop
dialogues to cheer me up.
Why do you feel sad?
You'll only feel
sad if you stay sad.
Listen, don't roam around
in the sun, come back home.
Such a great person.
Interview done.
Job confirmed, next week joining.
They said that I'll make
my father very proud.
What?
Wow.
Yes, I'm telling you the truth.
Amazing work son!
Didn't I tell you so?
Wow, you've started
your drama again, right?
Hey, will you take
your cigarette or am
I am supposed to hold
it for the entire day?
Archie.
Righteousness is the compass that
guides us towards moral integrity.
Hello? Hello?
There's some disturbance.
- 'Come home and I'll show'
'you disturbance. You'll
see what happens after you.
Hey, sister.
- Hmm.
Give me ten rupees, please.
I don't give alms.
You've to do something for me.
- What?
Can you write your name?
Learn it quickly and then
I'll give you the money.
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind"
"has smeared the eyes with dust."
"His wings tied, his heart"
"lost, it has housed his eyes."
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind"
"has smeared the eyes with dust."
"Where is his sand castle?"
"That thought has been
housed in his heart."
"She is what my heart seeks."
"But she isn't like me."
Hey mister!
The entire day will go by.
Here you go.
I don't have change.
Oh, crap!
Yeah, get going.
'Like me my son has
always believed that'
'every Raj has a Simran'
'Every Rahul has an Anjali'
'That's it, today it was proven'
I was right.
The door was open,
when did you arrive?
A long time ago.
You were tensed and
didn't go to the office today.
Where did you go the entire day?
I went out to inform everyone.
My engineer son has got such a great
job, I've to tell everyone, right?
Wait, let two weeks pass.
Great.
What are doing over there?
Food is ready.
You're on leave today.
We can't have
outside food every day.
You'll suffer from
intestinal ulcer.
I was saying.
Wouldn't you eat this mutton too?
What did you show me now?
It melts in your mouth.
Wow, that's amazing.
What will we have it with?
So?
- Oh my!
Just a second.
I'll just order, okay?
It's showing ten minutes.
Five minutes.
It'll be done in
five minutes, chill.
I thought I'll let you rest for
a day but that didn't happen.
'I'm only fifty-five now'
I still have five years to
get old and take a leave.
Who did you inform?
Everyone means everyone.
Did you inform aunt?
Did you inform aunt?
I'm getting old
I don't remember everything,
why don't you just call her?
You still have five
years to get old.
You just completely
forgot about aunt.
Dad!
Dad!
Hey, Amulya Mitra.
Hey, where is dad?
You don't know anything.
Dhat!
Dad! Hey!
Come on, give it to me.
Did you like it?
- Thank you.
Okay, that's enough now
I've to go to the
insurance office for a bit
to deposit the premium
Will you take me there?
Please.
Let's go. Let me get changed first.
Then I'll change too.
- Okay.
'Did you crack it?'
'Move ahead'
'A little bit more'
'Move ahead please'
Hey, dad.
Loosen your grip, my
intestines will pop out.
Look at the front otherwise
you'll cause an accident.
Ooff, just chill.
Hey, why did you turn here?
It's over there We
need to go straight.
Why didn't you listen to me?
Did you tell me the real thing?
You pay the premium online and you
were going to pay that on a Sunday.
'You were the first
to sit on my bike'
'That's the real deal, right?'
Get down.
Aunt.
Shubha, how are you?
I'm good.
Thank god, I've you.
There you go, Goddess
Lakshmi is on your bike now.
Come here.
Come inside for a bit now
I've cooked 'Kachoris'
and white potatoes.
No, this wasn't required.
Let it slide today.
-'Why? What is there to fear about?'
-No
there's nothing to fear.
'But I don't get many leaves'
'from the department so'
Archie!
Archie, where are you?
What was this?
What happened?
Hey, stop.
- Oh no!
Stop right there.
Why did you break a red light?
- Sir, please let me go.
Why? Are you Sahrukh Khan?
- Sir.
Give me the keys Why
did you break a red light?
Is Mr Bhatacharjee still
there on the ground floor?
Whenever I use to go meet
Archie after Sriti's death
he used to taunt me and say.
'Why is Soumatam
repeatedly visiting them?'
Let it be, what's the need to talk
about all that after so many years?
Has anything changed
after all these years?
There he is.
Hey! There's Archie.
Where did you zoom
out, leaving us behind?
Can two people be alone?
Did you come back alone?
Where's the girl?
In Archie's Gallery.
Wow!
This is amazing.
The heroine has made an entry.
Did you hide such news from me?
You hide so many things too.
What do I hide?
I shouldn't hide too, right?
I saw it on the road once.
I don't to where did
she vanish after that.
End of story.
Will you give up so easily?
- What should I do?
How far did you follow her today?
Why?
You're crazy and I'm a monkey
who came here listening to you.
A statistical report says
that there are about 1.5
crore people living in Kolkata.
Out of which Seventy
Lakh are women.
Thirty per cent of that
are senior citizens
and thirty per cent are minor, so?
There remain only ten
per cent for guys like you.
That's why I don't find a girl.
That's what you're implying, right?
- Just listen to me.
In this ten per cent, only
one per cent of them
ride a prepaid taxi.
Won't you be able to find her
in that one per cent in Kolkata?
One per cent of 1.5
crores is 1.5 lakh.
While I have this, I won't
even feel my stomach ulcer.
Look at that girl in the taxi.
- Where?
This is the energy that you need.
Let's go, it's my joining tomorrow.
I can't understand you.
You've fallen in love
and won't you be able to find
your girl in these 1.5 lakh women?
When I was in love with Sriti,
I saw her everywhere I looked.
'By saying this, I could form a
chemical reaction in my son's mind'
If your delay so much, then.
Yes, the iron gate.
Yes, okay.
Hey, wait.
Just wait for two minutes.
Sir, I've arrived.
- Great, give this to me.
May God bless you.
Dhat!
Work nicely and enrich
for the family name.
Here you go, you
can eat it as well.
"Suddenly again, a familiar wind"
"has brushed my eyes."
"Suddenly again,
a familiar wind made"
"my heart laugh
when it touched me."
"In the midst of the
night, his heart has"
"found its home,
losing everything else."
'Why are you going from here?'
Don't you see this is a
one-way? Go from there.
'What happened, can't you hear me?'
Sorry.
Go from that side.
"Taking the form of the
clouds, the winds came in"
"and have built a
great dam in my heart."
"On the lips of laughter,
as gestures unfold"
"may say to me all about her."
"The clouds have found out"
"about the hidden
voice of my heart."
"My eyes turned red
like the Palash flower."
"May she know about everything."
"She's what my heart seeks."
"But she isn't like me."
Hey.
It's medicine time What's that?
I can hear noises, you forgot
to take your medicines again.
I didn't forget at all.
What do you think of yourself?
Hey, did you reach
your office properly?
Yes, hang up the phone now.
Hi everyone, welcome to RTGI.
Hope we have a...
You are late.
Please be punctual next time.
Okay? Come in
so, as I was saying.
The three most important roles that
you've to maintain in RTGI are...
First, is loyalty.
Second, you work
hard and you party hard.
Excuse me, are you with us?
'A lot of people don't have
respect for other's time'
That was your last line.
Archit Mitra.
Hmm.
Not bad.
No, I was just trying
to look at the name.
Niharika Gupta.
'Madam'.
- Yes.
The boss is calling you.
Hi, Archit.
Moinak, okay.
- Archie.
Hello.
- Archie.
Pritha, hi.
Niharika.
Hi.
'We have our friend
Dipendu with us'
'to tell his love story Dipendu,
don't you have a bike?'
'Did you ever make
Majarika sit on your bike?'
'Yes, why wouldn't I?'
'I used to wait since
my college days'
-'I used to take her out'
-Hey, give me the helmet
'after the college ended'.
- Here.
'Where did you take her out to?
- We went to the lake'
Why are you laughing?
You took
two helmets with you.
You kept it in the pan shop
and you couldn't ask the girl?
Will she count the
number of helmets?
You're such a fool.
Where were you?
Hi.
Hi
I heard that you can't speak
when I'm in front of you.
There's this game.
Truth or dare.
For you, it should be
Truth and dare.
In my childhood, we used to play
truth or dare in a different style.
Is that so?
We used to make paper
planes and throw them in the sky.
The person on whom it landed
upon used to select truth or dare.
Come let's make paper planes.
- Correct!
Let's go.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
Why can't you say anything
when you see Niharika?
Are you a virgin?
- 'Come on, tell me.'
'Tell, tell'
'Can I get your bike keys?'
'You must, I mean' -Hey!
Let me see a Shahrukh pose.
Amazing, good job!
Doesn't he look like a
character from the 90s cinema?
He's such a virgin.
Shut up! That's not a big deal.
Do you know what I feel?
This is all a facade.
He's just doing what
one does to get girls.
Everyone is like you, right?
Hey, stop it.
Bye.
- Bye.
Hey, Niharika.
Come, let go of your cab.
- I'm booking a cab.
Come here.
Come on.
- Okay.
Get in.
Thank you very much.
Every day this can...
If a girl talks to a guy, then does
that mean he's her boyfriend?
Do you have such a shallow mind?
So, will she just hop into his car?
My idiot, he would've dropped
her daily if he were her boyfriend.
Moinak is working in that office
with Niharika even before you.
And apart from that
you never talked to
her for a lift, have you?
Then how will she know?
It's time you tell her.
Or else you'll lose the
opportunity for a wedding
and instead
you'll be serving cold
drink in the entire reception
I can't just say it like that.
Why not?
Are you a silent film?
The latest survey says
that ninety-nine per cent
of girls like a guy like you.
Do tell her, or
else you'll miss it.
What?
For now, the office.
There you go.
One minute.
- Why do you always do this?
It's raining, take an umbrella.
It's grandpa's umbrella.
Bye.
Hey, hold the umbrella Take this.
If you give me the umbrella,
then won't you wet yourself?
What should I do? I can't hold
the umbrella while riding the bike
I have an idea.
- What is it?
That's it, over here.
This one.
Wow!
It's a big house.
Do you earn a lot?
No.
The rent is less, it's a PG.
What about your family?
They live in Malda.
Are you planning on
knowing everything today?
All these days, you never
spoke a sentence in front of me.
Actually, you're a senior so,
I was just showing respect.
Hey, don't make me old.
In this job, I'm just six
months senior to you.
Your birth year?
Why? Are you searching for a bride?
How much is your salary? Where
do your parents live? My birth year.
Oh my god!
I see that the guy's face
turns red with embarrassment.
You really don't belong
to this era, Archie.
Go home now.
Where do you live?
Umm.
Nearby.
- Hmm.
Oh!
You'll only take forty
minutes to reach home.
Would you like some coffee?
No, maybe another day.
Another day?
So, are you planning
on dropping me again?
Chance pe dance, huh!
I was just being nice to you.
Now go home!
Bye.
Bye.
While riding, how many
times did he brake
so that you fall on him?
Not a single time.
- Didn't he want to come up?
Didn't I tell you that
Archie is not of this era?
He time-travelled to
here straight from the 90s.
Moinak is right,
everything is a facade.
Moinak is just jealous.
Thank you.
How was she sitting?
On the side?
Hey.
Was she holding your
shoulders or your waist?
Tell me.
She sat by putting her
legs on either side
while holding the rod behind.
Wow, she's a good girl.
Okay, so while you were going,
what did you guys talk about?
Hey.
Did you fall asleep?
How can someone fall
asleep after such an incident?
Back in our days,
for the whole night.
You spent so much on
fuel and dropped her home.
Your money should
be put to good use.
Hey, your 90s guy has sent you
a friend request after midnight.
Oye! Bad manners.
Hey, haven't you
finished eating yet?
Did you wear your shoes?
I did but what's up with you?
Let's go, or else you'll be late.
You're getting late!
- Where to?
Where else?
We have an important
work to do, come with me.
Where?
- Come with me, I'll tell you.
Come
Archie, come.
Wait.
- Let's go.
It's getting late, Come on.
Dad, where are you taking
me so early in the morning?
We have a lot of
work to do, Come on.
Should I sit?
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Straight and left.
Left, go left.
Yes, now straight
I'll drop you here if you don't
tell me where we're headed
I'll get off myself.
It's just a bit farther.
Go straight.
Go straight and take a right.
What is this?
I shouldn't have told
you Niharika's address.
Just keep going, don't talk.
Hey, stop right here.
Stop right here.
What are you doing?
Now, the rest is up to you.
I have a very important work.
Very smart.
Are you the only one?
Hey, why are you leaving?
Hey, Amulya Mitra!
Hey, Archie.
Why are you here?
I had some - You had some work!
What If I don't go with you?
Nothing much.
You'll waste 200 rupees
and the fuel I just filled to
come here will go to waste too.
Give me the helmet.
What does Niharika mean?
Something hard to find.
Something difficult to see.
Basically, something out of reach.
That means, telescopic.
Telescopic!
What? Telescopic?
Being my son, how could
you be so unromantic?
I'll banish you.
Couldn't you think
of something else?
What about 'Door gagan ka tara'?
'Door gagan ka tara'
That's nice.
'Door gagan ka tara'
Niharika.
Yes.
Wait, let me play.
Is this how you play?
Is it your birthday?
No, I'm about to create
a record in my career.
For the first time
I'll cross a month,
I left the previous
job after two weeks.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
What about me?
- Sure.
Thank you.
You can't just be let off the
hook with some chocolates.
The moment you get your salary,
you'll have to treat everyone.
Sorry boss.
The first salary is
only for my parents.
Wow!
He's not even from the 90s.
He's an Amol Palekar.
- Not even that.
He's Shravan Kumar
from the Satyayug.
Exactly!
Hey.
- What happened?
What?
You guys!
Why did you do this?
- What happened?
Here you go.
There, you wasted
my fifteen rupees.
Argue if you're angry.
Why are you punishing your lungs?
Does Amol Palekar argue?
He solves everything
using his brains
and you're the real hero.
You've made me
your fan by saying that
your first salary
is for your parents.
Your joking, right?
I'm complimenting you.
Learn to take it, idiot.
Don't be sad now.
Today is Saturday night
We will all party in the disco.
Spare me the disco.
Are you still angry?
I don't like disco that much
I'll drop dead the moment I drink.
And I don't even know how to dance.
Okay.
Okay.
This is my son's first salary.
Don't do this, I don't like it.
Hey, I just refused once.
Why did she say okay and leave?
Just okay.
- What could be better than that?
She understood you
and didnt nag much.
What else do you want?
She'll go dancing
in the disco with Moinak.
Great!
Only Moinak?
No, there are others too.
Then what is it?
You're not getting it. What if?
Over there, what if she
drinks a bit.
What state would she be in?
Are you bitching
or getting worried?
If you're bitching, then I've got a
filter in my ears, nothing goes in.
And if you're worried
then what will you
gain by sitting here?
You're too much.
Thank you.
'Yes, no one can wait now'
'This time'
Hey
Archie?
You, over here?
Why didn't you come inside?
I was thinking about
how you'll go home.
Oho! Knight in shining armour.
Where's the bike?
I didnt bring
the bike today because...
Let me book you a cab.
Actually, I didnt know what
would be your condition.
What do you mean? Did
you think that I'll drink?
I came here to dance and I'll
go home after that. That's it.
Oho! So, you've come to
drop all the girls home, right?
Or only a particular person?
Let's go.
I'll send you the money.
Hang up the phone,
I'll call you later.
Hey.
Thank you.
Anytime.
A cup of coffee?
Some other day.
Bye.
Oh! Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
- Let's go.
Hey, are you done? Let's go.
Let's go.
'Tomorrow is Sunday, do
you want to go somewhere?'
'Where do you want to go?'
'Wherever you want to, surprise me'
Victoria! Seriously?
Come.
Seriously?
People come here to romance.
Let me explain
Archie, this isn't a date.
Have you come here before?
No! Why will I come here?
I've come here many times.
Come.
Are we going here?
Come, it won't be that bad.
Come.
Let's go.
Hey, not from there.
From here.
"Suddenly this
heart, like the wind."
"Look at how it collects sunlight."
"The way it spreads pearls
in the Queen's Alley"
"by making a nest in this heart."
"All of a sudden, as it wishes"
"it throws colour in
it's own uniqueness."
"In the celebration
of bliss, that toy"
"entwined in the hearts."
"She is the what my heart seeks"
"I think she is like me."
"She is the what my heart seeks"
"I think she is like me."
Isn't this a nice place?
- It's very nice.
I was really unaware
that there are so
many beautiful places
I had no idea.
Actually, people look at Lake
and Victoria with a bad sight.
But I come here in my childhood
I know everything.
Dad used to bring me
here when I was small.
I used to come here to play.
Let's go.
- Hmm.
Enjoying yourself?
Please buy a doll.
Will you get one?
This is so sweet.
Wow.
Hey, this.
It is yours.
Thank you.
Very close but not
too touchy, right?
Obviously not.
Look.
Many days have passed by.
In this era of 20-20, will it work
if you play a test match?
You must advance to the next level.
Hey dad!
- No, I did not mean that.
You have to propose to her now.
Otherwise, you'll be
buying silver bracelets for her son
in Goriahat.
You speak too much.
Listen.
Valentine's Day is near.
It's a good day.
Take her to the best pub in Kolkata.
Shed some money, do some dancing
buy some roses
write some poems
make some.
- Again with your English!
No, you can't just avoid this.
Assume that you're proposing to her.
Right now, fresh.
How will you begin?
'Priyatama'
Does anyone say 'Priyatama' now?
So...
'Door gagan ki tara'
'Door gagan ka tara'.
- Okay
I look at you from afar.
I'm afraid of getting close.
Even if you're out of reach
why do you seem to be closer to me?
Amazing.
Even if you're far,
Even if you're close.
'In love and fights'
'you have Biryani and more.
'Be there in the morning tea'
'along with me'
'Is I love you very cliche?'
'But what if I want to say'
'I love you?'
'Why will you understand
if I say something else?'
'What if I don't say anything?'
'You'll understand, right?'
'Won't you get it?'
"Who'll drown in their wine
glass today evening and sway?"
"Who'll drown in their wine
glass today evening and sway?"
"The black eyes are watching,
my heart won't listen to me today."
"This heart will immerse
itself in the storm."
"I'm like Shahrukh Khan
standing in the storm."
"You came running like
Kajol, Let's fall in love today."
"You're like like Sharukh
Khan standing in the storm."
"If you come running to me,
Dil wale, then let's fall in love."
"The twinkling night
reveals you in every corner"
"searching for
yourself in the mirror."
"I think my heart
got caught today."
"Let law and order aside,
let's share it amongst us."
"Let's see who thinks what."
"Amidst the clouds, a
thought arises today"
"mingling with the stars,
descending from the sky."
"If someone could call the rain."
"Lips to lips, feeling shy,"
"two individuals apart,
overcome by fear."
"Hiding the heart in the drenched
wind, a rose arises from my chest."
"It still says that this
heart wants even more."
"You're just like Shahrukh
Khan standing beside me."
"If I come to you,
Dilwale, Let's fall in love"
"I'm just like the Shahrukh
Khan standing beside you"
"and now you've run to
me like Kajol, let's fall in love"
"I'm just like Shahrukh
Khan standing beside you"
"and now you've run to
me like Kajol, let's fall in love."
Sir, I had told you before
that I won't go further.
You have to get down here.
- What do you mean? Let's go
Archie, it's okay Let's
get down over here.
Will you be able to go home?
- Yes I can.
Brother, come here, please.
- Yes madam, coming.
Yes, hold him nicely.
- I can.
Careful.
- I'm alright.
Upstairs.
- Sure.
Hey!
- Careful.
Archie - I'm fine.
Be careful.
Be careful.
- Careful.
Where should I put him down?
- Over there.
Oh okay. Sir, please sit down.
- Careful.
Thank you.
- Okay, madam.
Hey, is everything okay?
Yes, I hope so.
He got very drunk by
just having some wine.
He was tumbling that's
why I had to get him home.
What? He's in our home?
'I'm telling you, listen'
'Archie knows that I'm
going out with Moinak today'
'and that's why he's
taking you to a pub today'
'Impossible! You're
overreacting in vain'
'He'll spike your
drink. I'm telling you'
'I'd even think twice if
it were someone else'
-'but Archie? Never'
-'Everything's a facade, okay?'
'Make sure he doesn't
come home in any way'
'Don't allow him at all'
'It can't be, how much will bet?'
Hey Moinak, come here quickly.
- Yes, tell me.
It's an emergency, take
me home right away.
What is this, Archie?
What are you doing here? Sit down.
No, I can't sit down.
It won't work like that.
Try to understand,
it's the next level.
Archie, stop it!
- Hey.
Listen to me, wait, let me open it.
How can I show you this?
- Just shut up!
Hey, Niharika, I
I'm engaged, stop it.
Engaged!
That's enough, no more.
Are you okay?
- Moinak, just
take him away.
- Hey, get lost.
Come, sit down.
- Engaged.
Are you okay?
Are you fine?
Don't let that guy,
Archie ever come in.
Did you get it?
Hey Archie, are you okay?
Is everything okay?
Did you drop the girl off properly?
Hey crazy fellow,
did propose to her?
Hey.
Did she say?
- I don't feel good.
I'm sleepy, can we talk later?
Hey, are you unwell?
Hey, what happened? Tell me.
What will you do knowing about it?
You'll cook something good
and that will make me feel better.
or will you discuss this
with your laughter club
members on how will you
solve my problem, right?
Just let me know,
I'll fix everything.
You'll fix everything, right?
Everything.
How will you fix it?
Are you God?
What are you saying?
- I'm saying the right thing.
I've grown up, dad.
Learn to give me my
space and privacy.
Don't put your nose into everything.
Take her to a pub, propose to her.
Am I your puppet?
Not everything is a movie,
dad, You can't control everything!
I'm not controlling. Never!
I'm just like your friend.
- Get lost!
A friend?
A father can never be a friend.
A father is always a father.
Get lost.
Listen.
Let me just make you an omelette.
'He is heartbroken'
'That's why the pieces are so loud'
'Was it that necessary'
'to make my son's life a
copy of a retro-romantic movie?'
'You'll face issues in love'
'Why is that?'
'He has lost you'
'It's not a happy beginning'
'The rest could have been better'
'But the movie isn't
running in a cinema hall,'
'where you could
just add some spice'
'But what happened with Niharika?'
'I don't get it'
Niharika.
- Hmm.
Yes, ma'am
I gave you such big news, there
wasn't any reaction from you.
Where is your mind wandering?
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
I said, the entertainment zone
the recreational zone
which you had proposed,
that has been approved.
Congratulations.
That isn't my proposal, ma'am.
It was Archie's.
I had just forwarded it as HR.
So, where is Archie?
I haven't seen him today.
I suppose he hasn't
arrived today, ma'am.
Didn't come? Why?
I don't know, ma'am.
What do you mean?
He's not a guy who would be
absent without prior notice.
Did he tell you anything?
I thought the two of
you were rather close.
No, ma'am.
Oh!
Then go and find out.
Go, see.
Find out what happened?
- Yes, ma'am.
Hmm.
'The number you've called
is currently switched off.'
'You can now leave a voice SMS by'
'dialling star followed
by the mobile number'
'The number you've called
is currently switched off'
'If you are a customer, then'
'you can dial start followed by'
'the mobile number
to send a voice SMS'
Have you taken a bath?
Archie, I'm serving food.
Archie.
Hey, Archie.
Won't you eat? What's happening?
The food is cooked already.
Open the door.
My dear, open the door.
Archie.
Archie.
Archie, what's happening?
Archie, open the door!
Archie, I'm getting
scared Open the door!
Open it!
What's all this?
What's happening?
'All doors to Archie's
gallery are closed.'
'This is a storm'
'I'm not able to stop it.'
'But being a father,
how can I just twiddle.'
'my thumbs and hope that
everything will be okay in the end?'
'What should I do?'
'What can I even do?'
'I'm not God'
'and he's not my puppet'
'Isn't it?'
'Meddling into his affairs.'
'raising him like a retro hero.'
'It's all my fault'
'I've made a huge mistake.'
'The love'
'that Archie understands'
'is that obsolete
in today's world?'
Hey.
Archie, everything is
fine, nothing happened.
It's okay.
It's okay That's enough.
Stand up, hold me.
Okay, okay.
Careful.
'Archie, are you already leaving?'
'Yes, move aside.'
Archie
Archie, hear me out.
Archie.
Archie.
Mail the file once it's done.
- Okay.
Where is Archie?
What's your business with Archie?
Just tell me where he is.
He has gone to the Boss's cabin.
What is this?
You brought a
resignation letter all of a sudden.
What happened?
Is there an issue? Speak freely.
We can solve
I don't feel like it anymore, ma'am.
I want to move out of Kolkata.
Will a guy like you leave Kolkata?
But you said so many
things during the interview.
I said that to secure
the job, ma'am.
Is there a problem? I mean...
Please speak freely.
No, ma'am.
Look here.
If you've
decided on leaving the job
then I won't stop you.
But wherever you go
please work sincerely
and try to
settle down in life.
Okay?
Thank you, ma'am.
Archie, hear me out
Archie, listen to me.
Niharika.
Niharika!
Yes, ma'am
Archie just gave
in his resignation.
What?
- Yes.
Archie.
What has happened?
Archie.
Give me the helmet.
Here you go.
Archie
Archie, what's wrong with you?
Just hear me out once
Archie!
Hey, something has happened to him.
Someone, have a look.
Hey, Amulya.
Hey, Amulya.
What happened?
Where were you?
I kept calling you
but you didn't answer.
What happened?
Amul Uncle Amulya.
Come with me.
Come quickly.
There.
Go inside dear.
Dad!
Archie.
Did you come back?
Archie, I'm fit. Nothing
has happened to me.
These oldies are shouting and
have turned the hall into a theatre.
Doctor, what happened?
I was returning from the market
and I lost my balance and fell.
They're acting as
if I'm bowled out.
If they could, then they'd book
a place in that cremation ground.
Is that so easy?
Are you the person to retreat
before crossing a hundred?
Now that he has seen his son
he's speaking after so long
Archie, come with me
I'm writing you some
medicines, please get them.
Come
I'll be back.
Uncle, look after him.
Come.
Look.
I'm assuming that he
has suffered a mild stroke.
Stroke?
- Hmm.
The ECG report is not good.
Do one thing, make
sure you do an Echo today
I'll go right away - No.
You don't have to be so restless.
For now, this danger has
been overcome, understood?
Actually
proper action was taken instantly
that's why.
Is he fine now?
Look.
He's getting old now.
He's not as strong
as he shows himself to be.
You've to take upon the reigns now.
Timely food, sleep and medicines
so that his pressure and
sugar levels remain in check.
Okay?
Hey.
Did he suffer from any
acute tension in between?
I'll take care of him.
Dad.
Dad.
Good morning.
Careful.
Archie - Get up slowly.
You don't have to come inside now.
I can do it.
Be careful.
I'm right outside,
don't lock the door.
Here you go.
Wait, let me try.
Let me...
It's hot.
Right.
Right.
- Hmm.
Who made this?
A ghost.
This is disgusting.
Thank you.
Sorry dad.
Why so?
I was a bit scared.
So, this is the best way
to make you say sorry?
Okay, that's enough now.
It's still not over.
'Babumoshai'
'zindagi aur maut'
'upar wale ke'
My god, it's too much.
'Open the door'
Wait, I'm opening it.
Oh my god!
It's you who has opened the
door so early in the morning.
On other days,
you're just sleeping.
From, now, I'll behave nicely.
Don't you take it the other way?
You're godly people, can I
ever think wrong about you guys?
Archie - Hmm.
What is Uncle Amulya's
phone doing in this room?
It keeps on ringing
near the ears all the time.
That's why I kept it
there, it's very disturbing.
Should I pick it up?
- Yes.
Hello.
Hello, is Archie.
Is Archit Mitra there?
Who is it?
I'm no one, I mean,
I'm speaking from his office.
Actually, I couldn't reach
him over the phone
and his father's number was
saved as his alternate number.
That's why.
Oh!
Who are you?
Please hold
Archie, it's a call
from your office.
Wait, I'm coming.
He - Hello.
Hello.
'Hello, Archie'
Tell her that
it's the wrong number. Take it.
'Are you able to hear me?'
Archie.
Hello
Archie said it was the wrong number.
Hmm.
Why didn't you talk to her?
Was it that girl from before?
She's not your sister-in-law.
She's marrying someone else.
Oh my.
Does that mean that she
betrayed you for someone else?
No one betrayed me.
I was a fool to fall in love.
Can you avoid falling in love?
But yes.
You shouldn't have any expectations,
it will certainly break your heart.
Can you remove her
from your heart even
if you've wiped her
off from your wall?
What happened on the
contrary? Uncle Amulya got sick.
'Archie makes such good fish curry'
'It reminds me of his mother'
'Where did he learn it from?'
'Sriti's cooking was amazing'
Now, even you can cook well.
- Hey, aunt.
When did you arrive?
What did you think? Will you be able
to keep such an incident from me?
Since I couldn't contact
you, I came here myself
to scandalise your father a little.
Yes, telepathy
can really work
I'll give you a tight one now!
As usual, I met Mr. Bhatacharjee
on the way here
and I guess he was
waiting for me too.
What did you do?
What else will I do?
I just greeted him.
That oldie was shocked.
Careful.
- Water, please.
Here you go.
Thank you, Shubho.
'You've become an expert'
Archie, you've grown up.
Have you managed everything alone?
Don't people say
that people learn
when they stumble?
Maybe it's the same with me.
I'm responsible for
dad's current condition
I've neglected him a lot
I've even said a lot
of things to him.
You've understood nothing.
Guys are a bit stupid.
Nothing happened to your father
because you said some things to him.
The things that you
haven't told you, father
are eating him from the inside.
What transpired with
that girl that night
for which you're punishing
yourself so much?
Wow.
Didn't I tell you
that having
Archie's fish curry
reminds you of Sriti?
Archie, your future wife
will be very happy.
When my wife arrives,
you guys will be happy.
Isn't it?
I got it.
Start looking for a match.
Also, you can post ads
on the matrimonial sites.
What are you saying?
What about Niharika?
Didn't I tell you?
'Door gagan ka tara.'
Out of your reach.
Chapter closed.
Impossible.
Hey, what happened that night?
Won't you tell me?
What if you have a
stroke once I tell you?
It won't happen if you say
but may happen if you don't say.
She saw me
only as a friend.
Such a friend
who didn't even mention
that she's engaged.
I don't believe it.
Make me meet her once.
It's not possible.
She thinks
of me as a rapist.
It's not her
mistake though.
The mistake is...
'Hey give me ten rupees please.'
'I don't give alms, you've
to do something for me.'
'What?'
'Can you write your name?
- No'
'Learn it quickly and I'll
give you the money after that.'
'Hmm.'
Why are you here?
How did you get my address?
I'm an HR, Archie.
Finding your address
isn't a big deal.
But I didn't want
to come like this.
Why weren't you answering my calls?
I've tried so many times.
It wasn't necessary for you to
come here for a mere wedding card
I've not come here
for a wedding card.
Have you come here to
hand me over to the police?
I've come here to talk.
Is there anything
else to talk about?
Yes! Come with me.
Where?
Come.
What I'm trying to say is.
Actually...
I had been contemplating
it for a while.
I really may have
made a huge mistake.
I'm sorry. That day I...
- It's okay.
Anything else?
Are you behaving like this, Archie?
I grew up in a boys
school since childhood.
That's why I don't know how to talk
to girls or how to behave with them.
Anyway, I made a mistake,
and it won't repeat itself.
Look, I live in the city alone.
I got a bit scared.
Yes, that's common.
A person can become a
rapist from just being a friend.
You never know that's
what they show on TV, right?
You won't hear me out, right?
Have you already decided?
Who am I to decide?
I heard you, I even
supported you Now let's go.
Will you even ruin the
friendship between us?
No, we're just friends!
I'll attend your wedding if you
invite and also enjoy the food.
I'll even decorate the pandal
if I stay in Kolkata.
But the chances are slim
I've cleared the first
round in a big MNC.
Tomorrow is the final round.
Oh! I'm getting married too.
I'll send you an
invitation card, do come.
Great.
I may be wasting your time.
You really are busy.
Let's go.
It's getting dark.
Yes.
It is getting dark.
Let's go.
My
helmet.
Will you buy a doll?
No.
Oh, madam.
Can I tell you something?
It's not good for you to roam
around alone after dark, okay?
Where will you go?
Tell us, and we'll drop you.
No thanks.
- No, it's our duty.
I've people with me.
Hey madam, listen.
- Madam, where are you going?
Hey madam, listen to us once.
Just hear us out.
Let's go, Come on.
Get going.
Let's go.
"I'll return every moment"
"that you've snatched
away from me."
"You broke all the dreams that"
"I had kept hidden in my heart"
"I will gather everything"
"that was never really lost."
"I'll give back everything to you"
"what is no longer between us."
Thank you, Archie.
Archit.
No need to thank me.
Can I leave now?
Don't say that you're leaving.
Say that you'll be back soon.
There's no coming back.
"That's why let all your
memories fade away."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"Stay with me. Stay with me."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"The night has the
our desires safe with it."
"I think they're awake as I can
still see them in my dreams."
"The morning which woke us
up gathered our shattered hopes"
"I think we won't meet anymore,
this is how everything ends."
"Take away all the nights"
"which never became ours."
"That's why, let your
memories fade away."
"Let only the time we
spent together be with me."
"Stay with me. Stay with me."
"Let the time we spent
together be with me."
"Stay with me."
"Stay with me."
It's so late.
Wow.
You're ready to go.
Yes.
Last night you had to sleep
on the roof because of me.
You had to stay back
at night because of me.
Anyway, I don't have an issue
with sleeping upstairs. It's breezy.
I like sleeping there.
Take this
I've made hot 'kachoris'
and potato curry.
Do eat, okay?
I'll have that
but you can't leave today.
What do you mean?
Wow, what's so shocking?
I have an interview today
and today is the final stage.
Once it's over, then all done.
'I'll land the job'
'and aunt'
I was saying, could you spend some.
'I mean can you stay
along with dad for today?'
No, I don't think she
should get busy with all this.
Let me care about
what makes me busy.
Let me take care of my health.
My god! You two
fight like little kids
I don't have time
for this, I've to leave.
Yes, we're just kids
and you've grown so much
that you didn't even feel the need
to inform us that
you've left your job
I had a lot of work
pressure, I couldn't handle it.
Yes, that seems to be the case.
You keep quiet
I've spent my entire
life by being quiet.
Where will you have to
go if you get this new job?
I've to move to Delhi.
Not just me but both of...
In fact, all three
of us have to go.
Hey, aunt.
Ahem!
Dad.
Dad, sit here.
Hear me out.
Sit down.
At least you try to understand.
Dad, look.
Maybe this is what's best for us.
This house is unfortunate for us.
At first, mom left us
and after that.
- Maybe I'm the issue.
Why don't you just leave me.
Why are you saying this?
I'm heading out for a good thing.
Don't you want me to...
You want that.
Will you be able to leave Kolkata?
Once a city breaks your heart
you don't feel like living
there anymore, dad.
I want to go far away.
Very far.
A place where I can't even
hear the shehnai of her wedding.
Won't you come with me?
You applied your special
hair gel again, right?
This is lucky.
All your wishes will be fulfilled.
Now you've to sure
about what you want.
'Archie, listen to me'
'Sriti!'
'Just shut up!'
'A father can never be a friend..'
'A father will always be a father.'
'He has suffered a mild stroke.'
'Stroke? There's no coming back.'
Your appointment letter.
Congratulations.
'Shubha'
'Please don't tell Archie.'
'about me going out'
Okay?
Where did you go?
Where did I go?
What happened?
Where?
I didn't go anywhere.
Look, I wearing the same clothes.
Hey, how did your interview
go? Tell us about that.
Start packing your bags.
Next week I'm going to
Delhi I'll look for a nice house
and then I'll take you
both along with me.
Is that so?
Next week?
Wow.
I thought you wouldn't go with me
and make so many excuses.
Good, improvement!
Improvement.
- Shut up.
Sit down.
Sit down.
I'll agree with everything you say
but I have a condition.
Does a father ever set
conditions for his son?
I do.
I agree.
Hear me out first.
Actually, the thing is.
I have a friend.
Her daughter.
I've to get married, right?
I'm ready.
Make sure the date
is in the winter.
It'll be easy for
me to get a leave.
Am I joking? This is
about your marriage.
At least meet her once.
- Hey, dad.
You've met her, right?
The one you've selected
will be the best for me
I that much have faith in you.
Wow.
Hey, remember.
A promise is a promise.
Hey, Shubha.
Will the both of you just.
Are we discussing marriage
or playing with dolls?
Just amazing.
You may not meet her but it's
important that the girl meets you.
Next Sunday, the girl and
her parents are coming.
Both of you will talk
to each other, that's it!
That's it.
Okay.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Hello there
Archie, where are you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
I was in the market, oh
I can't even imagine
what I got today.
You'll be amazed. Wait.
Uh.
Be satisfied.
You went to the
market in this condition?
Hey, I'm all good now.
Absolutely, fit.
I can lift an entire mountain.
I got tired.
I can see that.
All done.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, what's this?
Hey.
We didn't prepare any sweet dishes.
After all this, you're
still, making faces?
My god! Wait, let me order it.
Outside food stands no chance.
You're acting as if the
marriage is final. Don't worry.
you'll get a lot of
time for impressions.
No.
The first impression
is the last impression.
Here.
Amazing job.
Sweets, ready.
Wow!
There are so many things.
What's going on? Will
you guys not take a bath?
If they see the father and
son like this, then the girl
will just faint.
Go take a bath!
Okay.
Go take a bath.
Oh yes.
'This wasn't needed at all'
'It's nothing, just'
'Tell me about the
mangoes over there'
'You guys sit, I'll be back'
'I don't deal with mangoes,
I am usually busy.'
'with the students'
'Oh okay'
Yes, please sit down.
Sit.
- Yes, actually...
I thought about getting
him married before I go.
Hey, why are you over here?
Since you're here,
take this with you.
My sweet boy, hold this.
- That's right.
'Actually, it's just'
'We just have a bit
of land in front of us.'
'You'll have to come.
- It's a big one.'
'This wasn't needed.'
'No, not that big.'
'Neha, what happened?'
'Door gagan ka tara.'
'I watch you from afar but
I'm afraid to get closer to you.'
'But you're out of reach.'
Even if you're far, or close...
In love and fights
You have Biryani.
Be there in the morning tea
along with me.
Is 'I love you too', a cliche?
What if I want to tell you
that I love you?
Why will you understand
if I say something else?
What if I don't say anything?
You'll understand, right?
Won't you understand?
These are the things, Archie
wanted to tell you using a rose.
The rose was stuck
inside.
Inside his shirt.
My Archie isn't a rapist.
He isn't a rapist.
- I know.
Uncle.
- Do you know?
Did you know?
- Come with me.
Come, come inside.
My dear, I'm relieved that
you understood everything.
Otherwise...
being a father with this guilt.
You get it, right?
Do you understand guilt?
- Yes.
I can't take it anymore.
Uncle, please calm down.
Please have some water.
After Archie left that night.
'I saw a rose lying over there.'
'I realised my mistake
after seeing that, Uncle.'
But what should I do?
I have no chance to apologise
to Archie, he won't let me.
I'm sorry, uncle.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologise to me.
I don't have any objections, dear.
You understand objections, right?
I don't have any...
I'm not here to break your marriage.
I bless you that you
always be happy.
My marriage hasn't
been fixed, uncle.
I lied.
What are you saying, dear?
I got scared.
I used to see Archie differently.
A pure and innocent guy.
That, he'd suddenly open his shirt.
I couldn't comprehend, uncle.
I slapped him in front of everyone,
and he'll never forgive me.
Forget about that.
He forgot about the slap long back.
Since then he kept
saying one thing that
she didn't even tell
me that she's engaged.
She didn't even say
that she's engaged!
Even his marriage is fixed, right?
That was a lie.
That's just rubbish.
We weren't searching
for a bride for him.
We were searching for you.
I'm not letting you go, okay?
Listen.
I have a plan.
What's all this, dad?
Is he even your friend?
We'll shake hands and be friends.
I'm not liking your banter.
Now she'll say that her
engagement was called off
that she's ready for the wedding
but will be absent from our wedding.
Everyone will leave me alone, dad.
- No one is leaving you, Archie.
You drift away from others because
of your obstinacy and foolishness.
Did she tell you who
she's going to marry?
Did she tell you about the
date? Did she give you a card?
This is a simple misunderstanding.
She has said so many
lies just to avoid you.
Okay, can I please say something?
- I don't want to hear it.
Hey, Archie - Neha, don't go.
Please don't go.
- Archie, listen.
Let them solve their issues,
we shouldn't meddle in that.
But...
- Archie.
'Only clouds won't work.'
'Let's have some rain now.'
'Is the last scene of a romantic
movie complete without it?'
'What say?'
'One'
'Two'
'Three!'
'What a movie!'
"The stories drenched in rain"
"get discovered in obscured light."
"The Dreams are
hiding in your words."
"I am not a stranger to you."
"Keep me close to you."
"Be with me, keep
me in your dreams."
"Let be with you."
"whose notebook
has your name on it?"
"I have a secret
colorful envelope."
"I used to tell your
tales in a new way."
"There's a photo of
you on a white page."
"You definitely get
it if you search for it."
"I used to keep it safe,
holding it to my chest."
"The stories drenched in rain"
"get discovered in obscured light."
"The dreams are"

keep me in your dreams."
"Let be with you."
"Let time pass by"
"but let it brush by you."
"I wish I could get
lost with you again."
"You have the wind with you."
"He is intertwined in his dreams"
"I wish I could find
you within yourself."
"I'm not a stranger to you."
"Keep me close to you."
"Be with me, keep me in your
dreams and let me be with you."
