Yay! It's Holi today!
It's Holi!
-Where are you going? -To Shekhar-da's place!
Seek blessings from God first.
What are you doing?
You are my God.
-Oh! -Ma!
Okay, go.
-Silly girl. -It's Holi today!
(playful music)
Shekhar-da!
Oh, Shekhar-da!
Where are you?
Shekhar-da!
-Shekhar-da! -Mehul.
Who put colour on you?
I'll tell you.
You know, Mehul... I've been in love for two years.
I thought of telling you so many times.
But I couldn't.
I thought you're too young.
You won't understand these things.
I would've understood.
Really?
Then close your eyes.
Huh?
Close your eyes.
(dreamy music)
I'll tell you when to open your eyes.
Now, open your eyes.
(music drops, turns sombre)
This is Sayantika.
I was in love with her, but I wasn't able to tell her.
I finally asked her yesterday, and she said yes.
Then I introduced her to Ma, and now to you.
We were classmates. Now we're colleagues.
She works at Unicorn too.
I told you there's a surprise waiting.

STUBBORN LOVE
Mehul?
What happened there?
-(shutter clicks) -(Raka) Excuse me?
Mister?
May I ask what you are looking for in that bag.
(Anand) Just a sec, this...
Is this bag yours?
Yes.
You mean you study with the kids here?
Is this a joke?
Oh... I see!
Yes, the bag does seem a bit different.
Oh, it's Partha Majumdar!
You see, my niece has a similar bag in red and black.
I was looking for it. I want to give her a surprise.
You don't recognise your niece's bag?
No, I do recognise it. It's similar to this one, in red...
This one, with the spider. Yes. See, it's this one.
She loves chholey bhaturey. I came to give her that for lunch.
Uh, as a surprise. Chholey kulchey. You like it?
See, it's here...
What is your name?
Me? I am... Anand. Anand Ghosh. Nice to meet you. And your name?
Where do you stay?
Strange.
All I did was mistake your bag for my niece's.
And now you're going on questioning me. You can't do that.
I am a respectable man. He asks me where I live.
Now you'll ask me my mother's name, father's name, dog's name.
I came here to surprise my niece. I think it's a nice thing to do.
I stay at Bosepukur.
We have a very grand Durga Puja every year there. Come, visit.
You too must try surprising your niece sometime. She'll like it.
No problem. Take care. Nice to meet you.
(car honking)
(Mehul) Please stop here.
(Anand) Mehul.
-You know-- -Why were you trying to be a hero?
I told you not to act smart!
But... nothing happened.
(emotional music)
I swear.
Everything's fine.
I'd have put on some perfume had you told me.
What happened? You act all tough otherwise.
-Huh? -Why are you taking risks for me?
-I told you-- -It was no risk at all.
I had him so confused he must still be wondering about me.
See.
"Partha Majumdar, c/o Solanki Majumdar"?
(Anand) Hmm.
(whistling)
You're sure it's here?
This is where the location leads us.
God!
Where do we find him?
4D...
One, two, three, four, top floor.
I'll find the apartment.
-Sure? -Do something.
Call me if someone comes.
-Hmm. -Can you do that?
Yes, done.
Good luck.
(Anand) Mummy used to say I'm born to do something great.
It's time.
Hello, miss. Which way is 4D?
(woman) Upstairs, that way.
Excuse me, which way is 4D?
That way.
(door unlocks)
-Yes? -Hello.
Uh, you're Partha's mother?
Yes, but who are you?
I am Tanvi's mom.
-Tanvi? -They are in school together.
Partha never told me about her.
Of course he didn't. She joined the school recently.
Tanvi's father has a transferable job.
We were at Rai... Raiganj before.
Where did you get my address?
From the school.
-The school. -School?
Yes. (coughing nervously)
How can they share personal information?
Can I get some water, please?
It's very hot, and I...
-Okay, wait. -Thank you, thank you.
A girl has come.
She's acting strange.
She says she's some Tanvi's mom.
Who is she? What does she--
I won't harm you. Just don't scream.
Please! Please!
Please understand. I won't harm you--
Why did you lie?
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music swelling)
I have no enmity with you.
I just need to know about your husband.
Please!
(yelps)
-She should've come by now. -(phone chiming)
Yes, Auntie, I'm nearly there. Where is it exactly?
Partha, can you go upstairs on your own?
Yes, I'll manage.
(Anand) Pa...
Partha... Partha, listen... Let's play football together.
Partha, Partha!
I just need to know about Raka.
Are you Sayantika Chatterjee's friend?
Shekhar Dutta?
Who are you?
(Partha) Ma, someone is following me!
-Partha, listen. -Ma!
Partha, listen... Partha... Partha?
-Partha... -Ma, listen...
(women laughing)
-Really? -Oh, Partha. Hi!
You're home, son? How did you come?
With Sonali Auntie. Why didn't you come?
Auntie came over, so we were chatting.
So I couldn't come to pick you up. Go and freshen up. I'll get your food.
-Okay, Ma. -Go inside.
Hello.
-Now, who is this? -Anand.
-(Mehul) He's with me. -Anand Ghosh.
Looks like there was an earthquake.
I don't have a lot of time. Will you help me? Please!
First of all... Raka is not my husband.
What?
He's my brother.
That bugger is your brother?
Then who is Partha's father?
Jeet Majumdar.
Jeet Majumdar?
Haven't you heard about the Majumdar case?
Eight years ago, one evening, on the streets...
He killed a man named Majumdar openly.
Hey, wasn't it Raka who killed Jeet?
Well...
I...
I was pregnant.
Jeet didn't want the baby.
He cut it off with me. Our marriage ended too.
Raka could not accept it.
(dramatic music)
But Raka should be in jail. How can he be walking free?
Sidharth Roy Chowdhury.
What?
He knows about all this?
Of course.
-Who would know better? -That's unfair.
Jeet was his employee too.
By getting him out of jail, Sid bought Raka's ever-lasting loyalty.
Now Raka will do anything that Sid demands.
Anything.
Tell me something.
Was there a mess-up at Shekhar-da's office?
He was charged with molestation.
I've heard that.
But is it true?
(music intensifying)
Sayantika accused him herself.
After Shekhar died, the rumour is that
Sidharth and Sayantika got married.
(Anand) What?
They got married?
I really don't know what happened between Sayantika and Shekhar.
But I am sure of one thing.
If Sidharth married Sayantika, he has another motive behind it.
How can you say that?
I was his personal assistant.
He's a bloody womaniser!
He can never be happy with just one girl.
If you know so much, why aren't you speaking up?
Because I know
what Sidharth Roy Chowdhury is capable of.
Had you known too,
you wouldn't dare snoop around.
I won't stop now.
Where is Sayantika?
For that, you'll need to speak to Sidharth Roy Chowdhury.
How?
Every man has a weakness.
Sid has one too.

Gee! Wait!
-Ma? -Yes.
Why's she going out dressed like a supermodel? Tell us.
The medical and life insurance cheques.
Drop them off at the agency.
Going somewhere special?
-Office, Ma. -What about your breakfast?
-I'm not hungry, Ma. -Your lunch box?
No.
Bye, Ma.
(Ma) Eat something, dear.
(enchanting music)
Mehul...
Unicorn's ways have gotten to you, eh?
(door squeaks)
(enchanting music building up)
(in Bengali) Such drama.
Lord!
(Sidharth) Raka.
-Sir? -What news of that bitch?
-She isn't speaking. -Increase her dosage.
She should feel the pain.
It's not working, sir.
She is desperate.
She doesn't listen to anyone.
Walks out of the house whenever she wants.
There's something else too, sir.
Yes?
Two people had come to Solanki's place.
They smashed and damaged things.
Is she okay?
Yes.
Did she say who they were? She's smart.
She must've noticed something.
They didn't tell her their names. Solanki wouldn't let them come in,
so things went south.
Who could they be...
Sir, someone's playing a game with us.
Leave for Darjeeling tomorrow. Find out who they are.
Keep watch.
These people, who are trying to play with me,
should realise they are up against Sidharth Roy Chowdhury.
Okay.
Today is a very big day!
Because of Mousumi-ji's experience,
we have been able to crack a big deal!
-Yes! -(employees applauding)
So, rasgullas for everyone from me!
The first one is for you. Here.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Thank you, sir.
Congratulations, Mr. Ghosh. It's a team effort after all.
Actually, ma'am, things have gone too far.
-What do you mean? -I mean,
Mehul believes Shekhar-da's incident
has something to do with Sidharth Roy Chowdhury.
She is after him now.
What?
Ma'am, before she gets into serious trouble, can you help?
Please.
Get Mehul to talk to me.
Go and see who is waiting.
Go.
(conch shell blowing in distance)
(pleasant music)
Hey!
Look who is here! Your auntie!
Go to her.
-Munchkin! -Careful.
How things have changed.
So have you. Hmm?
You look ravishing!
(Mehul) It's nothing. Just maintaining office decorum.
(Mehul sighs)
-You finally got married, eh? -Please!
You missed my wedding and hers.
You didn't even care to call, Mehul.
How's the hubby?
Don't ask.
Do not ask!
My God! He just wouldn't let go of me on the wedding night.
So embarrassing, my God!
And then? Shattering the bed all night!
-(voice muffling) -(dreamy, melancholic music)
(wedding vows chanting in Sanskrit)
(ululation)
(Golu) But he just wouldn't stop...
(pensive music)
What are you thinking about?
The sindoor really changes one's face.
You should get married too.
You'd look like Goddess Durga at your wedding.
Right.
You have a good job too.
-Shall I talk to my brother-in-law? -I'll go and freshen up.
Have dinner with us tonight, please! Hmm?
Sorry, sorry. Bye.
(knocks)
(door bolt rattles)
(gasps nervously)
You?
How are you?
Hey, Partha!
(Solanki) Why have you come here?
(Sidharth) Hello!
(Partha) Hello.
Hmm. Say namaste first.
-Namaste. -Namaste!
-(Partha) Thank you. -Partha, go in.
-(Sidharth) Why? -Play inside.
Take this.
Come now.
-Quickly. -(Partha) Bye.
(Solanki) Come on.
Go, quick.
-(Sidharth) Vroom-vroom! -(Partha) Vroom-vroom vroom-vroom...
What do you want?
Sit! Why are you always in such a hurry?
-(Sidharth sniffs deeply) -(Solanki whimpers)
You still smell the same.
(ominous music intensifying)
You know...
this mole on your chest...
That's the one that did it for me.
I swear.
I always seek a serious relationship, but women break my heart and leave.
-Just tell me why you're here-- -What are you doing?
What are you doing? Relax!
I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
Who came to meet you?
What were they asking you?
Hmm?
Stay put, will you?
(Sidharth mockingly shudders)
Stop getting all excited.
Nothing can happen between us anymore.
This boat has sailed now.
Just calm down now.
Listen to me carefully.
You're a family person now.
Don't get involved in this crap.
Got it?
Call me if you need anything.
See you.
(yelling loudly)
(wail echoing)
