The Exile (2025) Movie Script
Feeling afraid...?
N-no... not at all...
First time to Moshagram village, right?
N-no. I've been here before!
Still, you know very
little about this place.
Is-is that so...?
Let me enlighten you, on the way.
Well, I have been travelling
this route my entire life.
I know the ins and outs of this
place, like the back of my hand.
It's evident that I know a thing or
two more than you about this place.
I am not even contesting it.
But why don't you tell me the
details, without procastinating?
Those topics cannot be discussed
anywhere and everywhere.
This is not the right time and place.
- Why? What's wrong with this place?
You are so naive! Don't you know
anything about the forests of Moshagram?
No, I haven't! I told you already that
I am not too familiar with this place.
Listen, it's not safe to discuss
those things in the dark.
With this ultra r-religious look of yours, I would've
never guessed that you are so afraid of g-ghosts!
It's not about ghosts!
The secrets of Moshagram forest are far more
dangerous than the mere ghosts of your fables!
What kind of secret?
- The Witch!!
The witch?
- Yes!
Haven't you heard of the strange
disappearances from Moshagram forest?
Many people have disappeared
from the S-Sunderban forest also.
It's evident that there are
carnivores in these f-forests!
Your ignorance is so amusing!
Listen... If a carnivore eats
someone, you'll still find the corpse.
Do you know what is left of a person, when the Witch...
- Please!
I'm coming from very far.
Travelling since morning.
For the last 5 miles, I have been
putting up with your bickering!
Will you let me rest now?
- Wow!
What respect for elders!
- The Prince's sleep has been disturbed!
We can't even share a few words, it seems!
- What times, I tell you!
Come on, make it quick now!
- Yes, hurry!
What could be taking them so long...?
- Yes. They should be back by now.
Yes, it's been long.
- The place too is far though.
That's also true.
- Look! That way!
Here they come.
- Yes, they're they are.
I've dropped the priest home on the way.
I hope you have given him his compensation too?
- Yes, whatever was due.
Gouranga, son...
Please check the dates
of the rites carefully, okay?
There will be quite a few rituals, to arrange
for... so you need to know the exact dates.
It's important, since we will
have to invite guests accordingly.
So, we need to take care of the rituals very well, okay? All of your support will be needed.
- Of coure! We will be there!
That young girl used to pamper us so much!
- So true!
Madhav!
- Huh?
If you allow, we can take all the
responsibilities for the rites and rituals.
They are also there to help.
- Please go ahead.
I'm tired of organizing funerals in this family!
- Madhav, please...
I've grown old too...
I just hope my turn comes soon...
Please calm down Madhav!
- Yes, calm down. Please.
Nirmala, come here.
- Nothing can be changed now.
- Go, bring a glass of water for your father-in-law.
- Calm down.
Madhav, my brother...
you need to be strong.
It's not the time to be so weak, Madhav.
- We are there for you.
You need to stay strong.
- We are like your family too!
You need to look after everyone.
- You are the guardian.
Slowly, everything will be okay.
- A lot of work lies ahead. We all are there.
Who is it?
- Me.
Have this.
Give me your clothes.
I'll send for washing.
Have you told your friends?
Those who attended the funeral
need to be present for the rituals too.
I've told them.
Should I serve lunch?
You haven't had anything since morning.
- Father?
Father is still speaking
with the neighbours.
Father...
Father...
Please get up, I've brought your tea.
You?
Where's Phoolmoni...?
The tea is getting cold, father.
If I am finding it so difficult to
come to terms with the grief...
God knows what my son is going through!
Master...
Master...
Get up, it's morning already!
So Madhav, it's a relief that
all the rituals are now complete.
Have you all eaten well?
- Of course! Don't you bother about it!
All the arrangements were done very well!
- Yes! Everything was in order.
Please take some rest now.
- Yes, you need some rest.
We have arranged the
mats and put them inside.
Anyway, I have explained all the accounts of the
expenses to your elder daughter-in-law, Nirmala.
I don't have words to thank you! If you
hadn't helped us in these troubled times...
Please don't say like that! You are like family to us!
- You have done so much for us all life!
Your younger daughter-in-law was like
our own child! We too are in so much grief!
And...
We practically raised both of your sons!
Whenever I see Nirmala, can't
express the pain I go through...
Your elder son's face
flashes in front of my eyes!
So true!
- Anyway... We'll take your leave now.
Pleae be safe. We will visit later.
- Yes. We will come later.
Take care.
Do let us know in any kind of need.
Son... life is a very long journey.
Do you think it's possible to travel alone?
You might not like my words right now...
But you need to be strong!
Start your life afresh!
We will leave now.
- Yes let's go. We'll visit later.
Oh God... when will these
raods be back in shape!
I can't feel my back!
I hope this is the correct location?
- Come on, now!
Seems like everyone is out to harm him!
"Not letting me sleep!","Dropping
me off at a wrong place!"
Today's generation is so difficult!
Cribbing and complaining all the time!
Why are you still
standing! We have to go far!
Come on, get going now!
Shyam!
Shyam!
Gouranga?
- Yes. You?
I'm Nibaran Chakraborty, the owner of this house.
- Oh!
Good evening!
- Good evening. Your friend Shyam is inside. Please come.
Come, this way.
Do you want some?
No, no. I'm better off without it.
Gouranga! You will never change!
A meal tastes even better after
you have had a few puffs of this!
That's not the point.
You are not used to staying in
such remote places, like this one.
Here you need this to stay
afloat in the river of time!
It works like a...
Lifeboat!
You seem to have been here for long?
Since I left my home behind.
You mean... you too are
absconding like Shyam...?
No way!
Unlike me, Nibaron
has no interest in politics!
He is more of a mystic, you know!
Like the Great Buddha, he
too has renounced his city life...
and settled in this godforesaken
place... but... with a 'government job'!
He is not a fugitive like me!
He is a renouncer!
That doesn't count me
out of politics, though!
Is politics limited to
political parties only?
Sometimes you should keep your Marxist books
away and read a few pages of the Mahabharat!
You will understand... that
there is no greater politics...
than in the family!
Listen!
- My native place was in Comilla.
- I see.
During the Partition of India, when I fled with
my father from there amidst the religious riots...
I could sense...
that this escapade is not going
to be the final escapade of my life.
This is actually the beginning
of a series of escapes!
We will have to keep
escaping for the rest of our lives.
Sometimes because of religion...
Sometimes because of colour...
And sometimes for...
the conscience.
You won't be able to
stay at one place for long.
Everyone is not destined
to stay at one place for ever.
You!
Me...
Shyam... In practice, we all are refugees!
I too had a home...
A family...
But one day I realised...
I don't fit in there!
There's a short story by Tagore,
called "Atithi"... have you read it?
Or you too are fond of only Russian
& German books like Shyam...?
Can you let go of these topics now?
Why don't you try to get him
a job at your office instead?
He actually needs that far
more than books right now!
No!
What he actually needs right now is...
to satiate his hunger!
That is so true, though!
Ain't it, Gouranga?
Gouranga... listen to me carefully.
- Okay.
You should leave for
Moregraam tomorrow morning.
We have a office there.
I'll give you a letter of recommendation.
- Okay.
If you go and show it to them,
they might arrange a job for you.
But you need to be aware
of something before leaving.
What? Please tell me.
Didn't you hear any rumours on the way to this village?
- Come on!
Here you go again!
About what?
Don't you pay heed to those! Absolute garbage
propagated by these superstitious people!
Apart from your books on social sciences, if you had read
even a few pages of Shakespeare or any other literature...
you would know that there are
many things on heaven on earth...
that doesn't fall under
your limited realm of logic!
Like?
- Like guilt... conscience!
To escape from which...
we can go to any extreme lengths!
Like greed... lust!
We don't think twice before putting our hard-earned
reputation at stake for a moment's pleasure!
This lust has claimed...
so many lives in the past!
I don't want you to meet such an
end, that is why I'm telling you all these.
Take my cycle with you,
when you leave tomorrow...
then you will reach
Moregraam before evening.
But remember a thing
very well on your journey!
What?
Sit down.
When you have travelled six miles from
here, you'll come in front of a paddy field.
On one side of the
field, there's a dirt road...
and on the other
side, there is a forest.
If you take the dirt road, you'll have to
travel six more miles to reach your destination.
And if you go through the
forest, it's just three miles.
But whatever happens...
You must take the dirt road!
Why?
It's clearly a much longer route!
Because...
there's a monster living in that forest.
A witch!
If you take the route through the
forest and keep walking for a while...
you will come across a hut!
You might see a beautiful young
woman walk out of that hut...
Or maybe someone you
know, walks out of that hut!
And then...
enchanted by her beauty,
you will follow her to that hut...
And then...
She'll break your neck... drink all your blood
and leave your carcass out in the forest!
Just look at your face!
Pale as a corpse already!
Such bogus stories!
See... these villagers don't have much
means to entertain themselves over here!
That's why they make up these ridiculous
stories to keep themselves engaged!
I think it's pretty late, already...
Let's go catch some sleep. Come on.
- Let's go.
Aren't you coming along...?
Shyam... Both you and I
know what happens when...
you go against the rules of the land.
You lose the very ground
you are standing on.
This room is in such a mess!
How can someone live here!
It's quite late...
You should go and take a bath.
The past few days have
been really hectic for me...
Bending down and cleaning the
whole house has taken a toll on my back!
That's why I had to get
a massage last night.
It's still hurting here...
Right here... take a look...
Here...
Are you a human being?
W-What happened...?
- Can you get any lower than this?
Me...? What did I do...?
- Don't you know?
Is there any limit to your lust and greed?
My greed...?
Then why were you lurking
outside my room last night...?
'Cause I have gone mad!!!
I'm insane!
I can't sleep at night!
I hear Phoolmoni's voice everywhere and
keep running after that voice all night!!!
And all this is happening
to me because of you-YOU!
Me...?
- Yes, you! Don't pretend that you're innocent!
Don't you know why my
wife did this to herself?
How shameless can one
be to put up an act like this!!!
Don't bother about them listening!
They also need to see your real face!
I'm sure it doesn't bother you anyway!
Now you won't have to share the
control over this family with anyone!
You're now the mistress of the house!
Right, Minoti...?
It's evident since Phoolmoni is no more!
Will you ever be able to forgive yourself?
You were so so jealous of my wife!
Did you do some black magic on her too?
The same way you cast a spell on me?
What is happening, Gouranga?
Oh! So you're here father!
Then you should also know the truth today!
You too are at fault!
After brother's death, you should have found a suitor
for Nirmala... then Phoolmoni would've been alive today!
Are you out of your senses, son?
- No, father! No!
This woman's envy, her
"evil eye" has killed my wife!
I too am responsible, father!
I was so under her spell!
I couldn't resist...
She is not human, father! Through
her black magic, she made me...
Minoti! Subhash! Stop her from closing the door!
- Madam! Please stop, Madam!
I can't face another tragedy in this house!
- Please open the door, Madam!
Nirmala, please open the door!
- Nirmala, Nirmala!!
Father...
Please forgive me, father.
No one other than you...
is alive anymore to forgive me.
If you too don't forgive me...
I'm leaving tomorrow.
I'll go to Moshagram...
at a friend's place.
I think he will be able
to find me a job there.
I'll take your leave now.
There's another thing I wanted to mention.
In the fit of rage I said something...
wrong in the morning.
I said Nirmala is not human.
I was wrong.
The truth is... she too is human like us...
maybe that is the reason why she...
Good bye, father.
Do you want to talk?
About...?
See...
The gap between 'truth' and 'lies'...
is what we call 'doubt'.
Breeding this doubt in your
heart yields nothing but confusion.
So if there is doubt in your mind, regarding any issue, you can...
- Listen.
I am never curious about
anyone else's personal issues.
Not even now.
Let me tell you something.
I have read it in my
science lessons in childhood.
Our eyes...
can see only up to an angle
of 180 degrees in front of us.
Whatever we see in front of us
falls under these 180 degrees.
But even behind us, there
is a space of 180 degrees.
But we can't see that.
Unless we turn our head backwards.
But then we are again missing
out on the 180 degrees in front of us!
What are you really trying to say?
I am...
trying to say that whatever
we see with our eyes...
is not the entire truth.
Just a part of it.
And based on this
knowledge of partial truth...
the opinions we form about each other...
only takes us far away from...
not only ourselves but...
also far away from the truth.
What we see with our eyes is not enough!
The 180 degrees behind us...
has a lot of truth hidden there.
Freshen up and come inside.
The tea is ready. Come.
Come.
Listen.
Travel safe, and once you reach...
send us a message, when you get the job. Okay?
- Sure.
Good bye.
Good bye. Get going now.
I think, you had to digest a
lot of information last night...
But hopefully when the time comes,
you will use your own intelligence...
not your friend's.
See...
A weak heart is the devil's workshop.
Any form of lust brings
momentary pleasure and...
and a long suffering.
Greed leads to sin and sin to...
- Death?
Maybe death... Or maybe to remorse.
Which in my opinion, is a
greater suffering than death.
Don't take the path through the
jungle. Just remember it. Now, get going.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
A scorching time has
descended upon the world.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
Oh Lord, keep on playing...
your silent, destructive game.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
If it's imperative upon
them, let the leaves fall off.
Let the sewing of the
garland be kept unfinished too.
If it's imperative upon
them, let the leaves fall off.
Let the sewing of the
garland be kept unfinished too.
Let the desolate paths be laden with...
Mirages of the evil.
Oh Lord, keep on playing...
your silent, destructive game.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
A scorching time has
descended upon the world.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
Hey! Where are you off to?
Moregraam!
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...!!
You too have lost your way and come here?
You won't be able to go there today!
It's way too far!
Then?
So...
Is there any place
nearby to spend the night?
Come.
I'm off to cook. You'll have some rice?
Whatever you are having will do.
I've kept a fast today.
And the rest of the family?
They must be eating, when they return?
They won't return.
They're at the field, guarding the crops.
They'll be there the whole night.
A lot of crops are stolen
at this time of the year.
You stay here.
I'll go cook.
It won't take more than an hour.
Take some rest.
Does it taste good?
- Hmm
Don't you like to talk...?
I love cooking so much!
After a long time, I got the
opportunity to cook for a guest...
No one visits this place otherwise.
Why?
Don't you know?
Has no one told you about it...?
What?
- We have been exiled from the village.
When I was 13, my husband died of Cholera.
After that... there were so
many rumours about me.
They said... it was me
who killed my husband.
They didn't allow us to
stay in the village anymore.
That's why I came here
with my father and brother.
Water...
Are you married?
- Hmmm.
You travel so much for work...
you must be missing your wife a lot?
Listen.
I have made bed for you
inside. Freshen up and lie down.
N-no... That won't be right.
You sleep inside.
I'll be fine out here.
Since we are exiled, you must be thinking
that I've forgotten all the customs...?
How can I allow a guest to sleep outside?
- It's not like that.
I mean...
Anyway I don't get much
sleep at night. I'll be fine here.
You know what my father tells me?
- What?
Sleep is like our bedroom...
and dreams are like the mirror.
Oftentimes, when we are out for work...
we get mud, soil, soot
and all sorts of dirt on us.
At that time... we are afraid...
to face the mirror.
We don't even want to enter our bedroom.
But in the end...
we all have to enter
the bedroom, isn't it?
I knew it! I was sure!
Remember me...?
I have spent sleepless nights...
For one glimpse!
For one glimpse of your face!
I was sure... that I would see you again!
If I didn't see you once, I would
never be able to sleep again, Phool.
I have been roaming around
with a huge weight in my heart.
I had to say it to you!
Tell me.
I'm here to listen today...
Let your heart out to me.
What we see with our
eyes is not enough, Phool.
What you had seen was incomplete...
and incomplete can never be the truth!
I might have broken your trust, but...
Believe me...
I had never given my love to anyone else!
It belongs to you!
Only you!
I haven't slept for a long time, Phool...
I haven't slept for a long time.
Let me sleep now, Phool.
Let me sleep.
I want to sleep now, Phool.
I want to sleep...
I want to sleep...
I..
want to sleep...
Let me sleep...
Minoti, come here.
Where is Nirmala?
- Inside.
Call her. Go.
- Yes. Call her.
Madam! Madam!
Let her come.
- I don't know how to even tell her.
It is really very difficult for me, too.
- Stay strong.
Nirmala, listen my child!
There's a bad news, child.
- W-What happened, uncle?
Something really bad has happened.
- What.. Huh?
Something very, very bad
has happened my child!
What is it...?
- Don't know how am I supposed to tell you!
I don't know how to tell!
Gouranga! Gouranga!
- Gouranga!
Look in that direction!
- Let's go to that side!
Gouranga! Gouranga!
- Gouranga!
The cycle is here...
- Can't see anything.
Hey! That's Gouranga's cycle!
It means he must be somewhere nearby!
Hey! Call out louder!!
Go check on all sides!
Yes. We're going.
- Gouranga!
Gouranga! Hey, come on!
Get a hold of yourself, Shyam!
- What?
Can't you see? Your friend
has been missing for 3 days!
All his belongings are strewn across the
forest. You still think you will find him?
So what should I do? What's the option?
Huh? How will I ever face his family?
If he has been eaten by some carnivores,
then also the corpse should be here!
Carnivore? You still think your
friend has been eaten by a carnivore?
You are still not believing it! The way
you didn't believe it that night, Shyam!
I won't! I won't believe
anything until I see it with my...
I warned him.
Don't take the path through the forest.
Don't ignore the rules of the land.
The same story, once again...
The same fate.
Greed lead to sin...
And sin leads to...
Please tell me, uncle!
- Everything is over, child!
Gouranga... Gouranga is dead.
Our Gouranga is no more!
Nirmala... What happened?
What happened, tell me!
My son!
Oh God, my son!
- Father, please...
Oh God... my son!
- Please don't cry, Madhav.
Oh God! My son!!
- Please calm down, Madhav!
I - I was wondering... Which
is the route to Moregraam?
That is far away.
You too have lost your way, and come here?
N-no.. I mean..
So... is there any place
nearby, to stay for tonight?
Come.
N-no... not at all...
First time to Moshagram village, right?
N-no. I've been here before!
Still, you know very

I hope this is the correct location?
- Come on, now!
Seems like everyone is out to harm him!
"Not letting me sleep!","Dropping
me off at a wrong place!"
Today's generation is so difficult!
Cribbing and complaining all the time!
Why are you still
standing! We have to go far!
Come on, get going now!
Shyam!
Shyam!
Gouranga?
- Yes. You?
I'm Nibaran Chakraborty, the owner of this house.
- Oh!
Good evening!
- Good evening. Your friend Shyam is inside. Please come.
Come, this way.
Do you want some?
No, no. I'm better off without it.
Gouranga! You will never change!
A meal tastes even better after
you have had a few puffs of this!
That's not the point.
You are not used to staying in
such remote places, like this one.
Here you need this to stay
afloat in the river of time!
It works like a...
Lifeboat!
You seem to have been here for long?
Since I left my home behind.
You mean... you too are
absconding like Shyam...?
No way!
Unlike me, Nibaron
has no interest in politics!
He is more of a mystic, you know!
Like the Great Buddha, he
too has renounced his city life...
and settled in this godforesaken
place... but... with a 'government job'!
He is not a fugitive like me!
He is a renouncer!
That doesn't count me
out of politics, though!
Is politics limited to
political parties only?
Sometimes you should keep your Marxist books
away and read a few pages of the Mahabharat!
You will understand... that
there is no greater politics...
than in the family!
Listen!
- My native place was in Comilla.
- I see.
During the Partition of India, when I fled with
my father from there amidst the religious riots...
I could sense...
that this escapade is not going
to be the final escapade of my life.
This is actually the beginning
of a series of escapes!
We will have to keep
escaping for the rest of our lives.
Sometimes because of religion...
Sometimes because of colour...
And sometimes for...
the conscience.
You won't be able to
stay at one place for long.
Everyone is not destined
to stay at one place for ever.
You!
Me...
Shyam... In practice, we all are refugees!
I too had a home...
A family...
But one day I realised...
I don't fit in there!
There's a short story by Tagore,
called "Atithi"... have you read it?
Or you too are fond of only Russian
& German books like Shyam...?
Can you let go of these topics now?
Why don't you try to get him
a job at your office instead?
He actually needs that far
more than books right now!
No!
What he actually needs right now is...
to satiate his hunger!
That is so true, though!
Ain't it, Gouranga?
Gouranga... listen to me carefully.
- Okay.
You should leave for
Moregraam tomorrow morning.
We have a office there.
I'll give you a letter of recommendation.
- Okay.
If you go and show it to them,
they might arrange a job for you.
But you need to be aware
of something before leaving.
What? Please tell me.
Didn't you hear any rumours on the way to this village?
- Come on!
Here you go again!
About what?
Don't you pay heed to those! Absolute garbage
propagated by these superstitious people!
Apart from your books on social sciences, if you had read
even a few pages of Shakespeare or any other literature...
you would know that there are
many things on heaven on earth...
that doesn't fall under
your limited realm of logic!
Like?
- Like guilt... conscience!
To escape from which...
we can go to any extreme lengths!
Like greed... lust!
We don't think twice before putting our hard-earned
reputation at stake for a moment's pleasure!
This lust has claimed...
so many lives in the past!
I don't want you to meet such an
end, that is why I'm telling you all these.
Take my cycle with you,
when you leave tomorrow...
then you will reach
Moregraam before evening.
But remember a thing
very well on your journey!
What?
Sit down.
When you have travelled six miles from
here, you'll come in front of a paddy field.
On one side of the
field, there's a dirt road...
and on the other
side, there is a forest.
If you take the dirt road, you'll have to
travel six more miles to reach your destination.
And if you go through the
forest, it's just three miles.
But whatever happens...
You must take the dirt road!
Why?
It's clearly a much longer route!
Because...
there's a monster living in that forest.
A witch!
If you take the route through the
forest and keep walking for a while...
you will come across a hut!
You might see a beautiful young
woman walk out of that hut...
Or maybe someone you
know, walks out of that hut!
And then...
enchanted by her beauty,
you will follow her to that hut...
And then...
She'll break your neck... drink all your blood
and leave your carcass out in the forest!
Just look at your face!
Pale as a corpse already!
Such bogus stories!
See... these villagers don't have much
means to entertain themselves over here!
That's why they make up these ridiculous
stories to keep themselves engaged!
I think it's pretty late, already...
Let's go catch some sleep. Come on.
- Let's go.
Aren't you coming along...?
Shyam... Both you and I
know what happens when...
you go against the rules of the land.
You lose the very ground
you are standing on.
This room is in such a mess!
How can someone live here!
It's quite late...
You should go and take a bath.
The past few days have
been really hectic for me...
Bending down and cleaning the
whole house has taken a toll on my back!
That's why I had to get
a massage last night.
It's still hurting here...
Right here... take a look...
Here...
Are you a human being?
W-What happened...?
- Can you get any lower than this?
Me...? What did I do...?
- Don't you know?
Is there any limit to your lust and greed?
My greed...?
Then why were you lurking
outside my room last night...?
'Cause I have gone mad!!!
I'm insane!
I can't sleep at night!
I hear Phoolmoni's voice everywhere and
keep running after that voice all night!!!
And all this is happening
to me because of you-YOU!
Me...?
- Yes, you! Don't pretend that you're innocent!
Don't you know why my
wife did this to herself?
How shameless can one
be to put up an act like this!!!
Don't bother about them listening!
They also need to see your real face!
I'm sure it doesn't bother you anyway!
Now you won't have to share the
control over this family with anyone!
You're now the mistress of the house!
Right, Minoti...?
It's evident since Phoolmoni is no more!
Will you ever be able to forgive yourself?
You were so so jealous of my wife!
Did you do some black magic on her too?
The same way you cast a spell on me?
What is happening, Gouranga?
Oh! So you're here father!
Then you should also know the truth today!
You too are at fault!
After brother's death, you should have found a suitor
for Nirmala... then Phoolmoni would've been alive today!
Are you out of your senses, son?
- No, father! No!
This woman's envy, her
"evil eye" has killed my wife!
I too am responsible, father!
I was so under her spell!
I couldn't resist...
She is not human, father! Through
her black magic, she made me...
Minoti! Subhash! Stop her from closing the door!
- Madam! Please stop, Madam!
I can't face another tragedy in this house!
- Please open the door, Madam!
Nirmala, please open the door!
- Nirmala, Nirmala!!
Father...
Please forgive me, father.
No one other than you...
is alive anymore to forgive me.
If you too don't forgive me...
I'm leaving tomorrow.
I'll go to Moshagram...
at a friend's place.
I think he will be able
to find me a job there.
I'll take your leave now.
There's another thing I wanted to mention.
In the fit of rage I said something...
wrong in the morning.
I said Nirmala is not human.
I was wrong.
The truth is... she too is human like us...
maybe that is the reason why she...
Good bye, father.
Do you want to talk?
About...?
See...
The gap between 'truth' and 'lies'...
is what we call 'doubt'.
Breeding this doubt in your
heart yields nothing but confusion.
So if there is doubt in your mind, regarding any issue, you can...
- Listen.
I am never curious about
anyone else's personal issues.
Not even now.
Let me tell you something.
I have read it in my
science lessons in childhood.
Our eyes...
can see only up to an angle
of 180 degrees in front of us.
Whatever we see in front of us
falls under these 180 degrees.
But even behind us, there
is a space of 180 degrees.
But we can't see that.
Unless we turn our head backwards.
But then we are again missing
out on the 180 degrees in front of us!
What are you really trying to say?
I am...
trying to say that whatever
we see with our eyes...
is not the entire truth.
Just a part of it.
And based on this
knowledge of partial truth...
the opinions we form about each other...
only takes us far away from...
not only ourselves but...
also far away from the truth.
What we see with our eyes is not enough!
The 180 degrees behind us...
has a lot of truth hidden there.
Freshen up and come inside.
The tea is ready. Come.
Come.
Listen.
Travel safe, and once you reach...
send us a message, when you get the job. Okay?
- Sure.
Good bye.
Good bye. Get going now.
I think, you had to digest a
lot of information last night...
But hopefully when the time comes,
you will use your own intelligence...
not your friend's.
See...
A weak heart is the devil's workshop.
Any form of lust brings
momentary pleasure and...
and a long suffering.
Greed leads to sin and sin to...
- Death?
Maybe death... Or maybe to remorse.
Which in my opinion, is a
greater suffering than death.
Don't take the path through the
jungle. Just remember it. Now, get going.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
A scorching time has
descended upon the world.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
Oh Lord, keep on playing...
your silent, destructive game.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
If it's imperative upon
them, let the leaves fall off.
Let the sewing of the
garland be kept unfinished too.
If it's imperative upon
them, let the leaves fall off.
Let the sewing of the
garland be kept unfinished too.
Let the desolate paths be laden with...
Mirages of the evil.
Oh Lord, keep on playing...
your silent, destructive game.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
A scorching time has
descended upon the world.
Vitality of life is nowhere...
Hey! Where are you off to?
Moregraam!
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...!!
You too have lost your way and come here?
You won't be able to go there today!
It's way too far!
Then?
So...
Is there any place
nearby to spend the night?
Come.
I'm off to cook. You'll have some rice?
Whatever you are having will do.
I've kept a fast today.
And the rest of the family?
They must be eating, when they return?
They won't return.
They're at the field, guarding the crops.
They'll be there the whole night.
A lot of crops are stolen
at this time of the year.
You stay here.
I'll go cook.
It won't take more than an hour.
Take some rest.
Does it taste good?
- Hmm
Don't you like to talk...?
I love cooking so much!
After a long time, I got the
opportunity to cook for a guest...
No one visits this place otherwise.
Why?
Don't you know?
Has no one told you about it...?
What?
- We have been exiled from the village.
When I was 13, my husband died of Cholera.
After that... there were so
many rumours about me.
They said... it was me
who killed my husband.
They didn't allow us to
stay in the village anymore.
That's why I came here
with my father and brother.
Water...
Are you married?
- Hmmm.
You travel so much for work...
you must be missing your wife a lot?
Listen.
I have made bed for you
inside. Freshen up and lie down.
N-no... That won't be right.
You sleep inside.
I'll be fine out here.
Since we are exiled, you must be thinking
that I've forgotten all the customs...?
How can I allow a guest to sleep outside?
- It's not like that.
I mean...
Anyway I don't get much
sleep at night. I'll be fine here.
You know what my father tells me?
- What?
Sleep is like our bedroom...
and dreams are like the mirror.
Oftentimes, when we are out for work...
we get mud, soil, soot
and all sorts of dirt on us.
At that time... we are afraid...
to face the mirror.
We don't even want to enter our bedroom.
But in the end...
we all have to enter
the bedroom, isn't it?
I knew it! I was sure!
Remember me...?
I have spent sleepless nights...
For one glimpse!
For one glimpse of your face!
I was sure... that I would see you again!
If I didn't see you once, I would
never be able to sleep again, Phool.
I have been roaming around
with a huge weight in my heart.
I had to say it to you!
Tell me.
I'm here to listen today...
Let your heart out to me.
What we see with our
eyes is not enough, Phool.
What you had seen was incomplete...
and incomplete can never be the truth!
I might have broken your trust, but...
Believe me...
I had never given my love to anyone else!
It belongs to you!
Only you!
I haven't slept for a long time, Phool...
I haven't slept for a long time.
Let me sleep now, Phool.
Let me sleep.
I want to sleep now, Phool.
I want to sleep...
I want to sleep...
I..
want to sleep...
Let me sleep...
Minoti, come here.
Where is Nirmala?
- Inside.
Call her. Go.
- Yes. Call her.
Madam! Madam!
Let her come.
- I don't know how to even tell her.
It is really very difficult for me, too.
- Stay strong.
Nirmala, listen my child!
There's a bad news, child.
- W-What happened, uncle?
Something really bad has happened.
- What.. Huh?
Something very, very bad
has happened my child!
What is it...?
- Don't know how am I supposed to tell you!
I don't know how to tell!
Gouranga! Gouranga!
- Gouranga!
Look in that direction!
- Let's go to that side!
Gouranga! Gouranga!
- Gouranga!
The cycle is here...
- Can't see anything.
Hey! That's Gouranga's cycle!
It means he must be somewhere nearby!
Hey! Call out louder!!
Go check on all sides!
Yes. We're going.
- Gouranga!
Gouranga! Hey, come on!
Get a hold of yourself, Shyam!
- What?
Can't you see? Your friend
has been missing for 3 days!
All his belongings are strewn across the
forest. You still think you will find him?
So what should I do? What's the option?
Huh? How will I ever face his family?
If he has been eaten by some carnivores,
then also the corpse should be here!
Carnivore? You still think your
friend has been eaten by a carnivore?
You are still not believing it! The way
you didn't believe it that night, Shyam!
I won't! I won't believe
anything until I see it with my...
I warned him.
Don't take the path through the forest.
Don't ignore the rules of the land.
The same story, once again...
The same fate.
Greed lead to sin...
And sin leads to...
Please tell me, uncle!
- Everything is over, child!
Gouranga... Gouranga is dead.
Our Gouranga is no more!
Nirmala... What happened?
What happened, tell me!
My son!
Oh God, my son!
- Father, please...
Oh God... my son!
- Please don't cry, Madhav.
Oh God! My son!!
- Please calm down, Madhav!
I - I was wondering... Which
is the route to Moregraam?
That is far away.
You too have lost your way, and come here?
N-no.. I mean..
So... is there any place
nearby, to stay for tonight?
Come.
