You shouldn't dodge the groom's request.
Ajay: One more song and I'll sound like a donkey.
Girl: Done.

Ajay: It's too hot here.
Moni: Ya, too much.
Ajay: Let's go there.
Moni: OK.

OK, I'll record it now.
You know what?
I don't get much time.
I am really occupied with business.
Don't have time.
Moni: Ya, that's right.
Ajay: Apart from that
I participate in some local functions.
Moni: You take part in local functions, too?
Ajay: As in, I'm forced to take part, else they don't spare me.
You know, boys these days
are totally crazy.
Moni: Still. People can listen to nice songs.
Ajay: But that's too much.
See, tomorrow I'll have to rush.
Moni: Where?
Ajay: Somewhere in New Alipore.

This field is full of fraudsters.
But still, there are goldmines.
If we can play right.
Ajay: Did you go to that blackmarket in Princep series?
Phani: Let me explain you.
Ya, twice already, I may go there today as well.
Ajay: What do you think?
Phani: There's a lot. Bought from the disposal.
They're asking for Rs. seven per unit.
Ajay: How's the quality?
Phani: Quite good.
But, you need to adjust them a bit. That's it.
Ajay: How about Rs. 5 per unit?
Phani: That I'll try. Either Rs five or six.
Will sell at not less than Rs. 40.
Ajay: Rs. 40 per unit? Are you sure?
Phani: Ya, why not?
Import has been stopped. There's no foreign stuff.
But there's a demand in the laboratories in schools and colleges.
They have to buy.
Ajay: Ya, a demand is there.
Phani: If the market supports
we can go up to 50 or maybe 60. We can sell it at Rs 60.
Ajay: Will you be able to operate the instruments?
Phani: What are you saying sir? We're the third generation mechanic.
Ajay: OK, let's go.
How much?
Man 2: Five rupees only.
Ajay: OK. Then, skip tomorrow, let's go there day after tomorrow.
Phani: But it's Viswakarma Puja. They are closed.
Ajay: Oh they're closed?
OK, then let's go there on Saturday and finalise everything.
Phani: Alright.
But don't tell him that there's goldmine in iron business.
Ajay: Oh no no.
Phani: OK, I'll leave now. See you on Saturday, at 2 PM.
Ajay: Yes yes.
Man 2: Who's he, Ajay brother?

Moni: Come with me.
Mom: Please come.
Moni: Mom, he's Ajay Sarkar.
Mom: It's OK. It's OK.
It's late so I thought you'll come after the function ends.
Moni: No it'll take time. So many artists are there.
Mom: I see. Let's go outside and sit.
Ajay: Wow. Nice place.
Is it South?
Mom: No, it's North. I listened to your songs.
Ajay: Is it too bad?
Mon: Bad? She's so fond of your songs. So I thought why not take you home
I'm glad that you came. Moni: I'll just come.
- Mom: Have your seat. - Moni: Bahadur. Bahadur.
Mom: Moni was saying you're so busy that you don't get time to practice.
Ajay: I was about to restart it.
Mom: Who is your teacher?
Ajay: Some Ostad, but now I sing Rabindra Sangeet. I love it.
Mom: That's good. Don't mind, I don't understand Ostadi songs
you didn't mind, did you? Ajay: Nothing like that.
Mom: Moni was saying due to your business you can't practice songs?
Are you too occupied with business?
Ajay: Ya sole responsibility, unlike a job.
Mom: A lot of work or what?
Ajay: Ya that's so obvious.
Mom: Of course, of course.
Ajay: I don't like jobs, so I thought let's get into business.
- Moni: Mom. - Mom: Yes.
- Moni: Should I take these here? - Mom: Here? No let's go inside.
Mom: What business is it?
Ajay: It's like some scientific precision instruments. A small one.
But there's more demand and less supply, so it's growing a lot.
Moni: Here you go.
Only one? Ajay: It's OK.
Moni: See mom, it's not enough. Take some more please.
- Ajay: No no please not now. - Moni: Then when?
Ajay: Some other day.
Mom: Not forcing, but these are all home-made, Moni made them.
Ajay: Is it? Your daughter is very talented.
Moni: Don't praise before tasting it. Who knows it might lack salt.
- Ajay: What? - Moni: Don't worry. It's there.
Ajay: Oh OK OK.
Moni: It's still light. Do you prefer strong or light?
Ajay: Umm strong.
Mom: He's a Bengali after all. I don't get it how people like light tea.
Moni: Your choice might not match with others.
Mom: That's meaningless.
- Moni: Dad like to have it. - Mom: Don't talk about him.
- Moni: You also try once for a change. - Mom: Ya why not!
Have dinner with us some day. He'll be there.
Today he's out for some work. You both will like each other.
Ajay: I didn't get a chance to talk to her.
- Mom: She likes the type of guy you are. - Ajay: How's that?
Mom: I mean she doesn't like the boys of this generation.
- Ajay: Oh do you think I'm very backdated? - Mom: No not like that.
She says boys these days lack initiatives.
- Moni: How much sugar? - Ajay: Two spoons.
Oh. Initiative. You know, I also feel the same.
Moni: Mom.
Here you go. Ajay: Thank you.
Today I had tea quite a few times

Ajay: Telephone. Actually I have recently changed my flat, so.
Mom: Why don't you get him a pen?
Moni: I can't find one. Bahadur.
Here it is. It's mine only.
Ajay: So I'll better write my telephone number.
It won't be there in the guide.
Double four, three four, nine one.
Ajay: Really, you have courage, I must admit.
Moni: Why so?
Ajay: in this big house, you are only three people. Aren't you scared?
- Moni: Scared of what? Ghost? - Ajay: No, you never know.
OK, I'll leave now. Moni: But you'll not get any taxi now.
Ajay: No I'll get one outside.
Moni: OK I'll get you a taxi. Come with me.
Ajay: It's OK, why would you go now

I am Saheb. Say who? Ratan: I am Saheb.
- Ajay: Right. Tell them he's not at home. - Ratan: What if they ask more details?
Ajay: Why'd you know so much? Just say you don't know, hell be late.
- Ratan: OK. - Ajay: Listen, ask their name and details.
- Ratan: Yes. - Ajay: And no you go now.
Ajay: Listen, if Ratan is confused by a woman's voice, you'll manage.

Wow. When did you get this?
Satu: Today only got it delivered. Nice, isn't it?
Ajay: Lovely. I'll need your suits for some more days. You're OK with that, right?
Satu: Have I ever said you no?
Ajay: No, just to maintain a formality.
Satu: So you take a few to your home.
- Ajay: It's my home, too, no? - Satu: Oh, yes, you told so.
Ajay: Don't mess things up.
Oh. I wish I could sleep on such a cosy bed.

Lady: What did Phani say in the morning?
Ajay: You won't understand.
Lady: Listen to me. You still have time. Get a job--
Ajay: I don't like jobs.
How much will they pay me? Rs 100? Maybe Rs 150 or Rs 200?
Lady: Is it not enough?
Ajay: Too less. Is is sufficient? No.
Lady: At least you'll have a fixed monthly income. Later it could increase.
Ajay: How much would it increase? Two rupees per year?
Lady: Who will give you that free of cost?
Ajay: Did I say that? Why are you saying this?
Lady: Because we have a family.
Ajay: Will you manage it in such amount?
Lady: I won't get it if I want more.
Ajay: Why? You forgot? Didn't you get Rs. 2000 eight months ago?
Lady: What after that? Nothing. Instead we spent.
- Ajay: We'll get again. - Lady: I doubt.
Ajay: Oh. Everyday won't be the same.
Give some pressure this side.
Lady: I don't understand these.
Things were better when you had the job.
You lost the job, and things have changed.

Ajay: Why? OK hear me out. You were driving yourself.
And you had to stop at the traffic signal.
Now do you believe me?
Moni: So how'd I understand if you say Wellington? It's the crossing.
Yes, I was coming home from College. Where were you?
Ajay: I was right behind you.
Honest. Yes.
Once traffic signal was lifted, you ran away.
I tried to catch you for some time
blew horn a few times, then
then a double decker came and I lost you
Moni: Is it? Oh I didn't understand.
So I crossed the Free School Street and went away
then I crossed Park Street and entered Camac Street. Then you?
Ajay: Then I returned from Park Street.
No no, so what? How'd you know that I was running after you?
Moni: Umm We haven't met, it's been long.
Isn't it a long time?

And tell mom that I'll be back timely.
Ajay: Damn. Rubbish.

Ajay: Oh it's too late. You're here for long?
- Moni: This is whom we call a busy man. - Ajay: Please punish me but don't be angry.

Ajay: Are you afraid?
Satu: I don't feel comfortable.
- Ajay: For what? - Satu: That you dream to become rich.
- Ajay: Illusion? Stupidity? Right? - Satu: You know it better.
Ajay: What do you think? I don't understand business?
Satu: I haven't said that.
Ajay: You'll admit that I have had profit in business?

Ajay: So if we use the big battery, won't it explode?
Phani: No it won't, but this magnet is giving little trouble, we need to fix it.
- Ajay: So will it be fixed? - Phani: Yes, don't worry.
Ajay: No I'm not worried.
Phani: I'll give you the Voltmeter units first. They are perfect.
Ajay: And what about the Ampmeter and Galvo?
I want them fast, too. If any order comes at last--
Phani: Let it come no.
Ajay: What nonsense. Just an Ads and you'll see how they--
Phani: Blow it away. Like a Hot cake.
You remember the other thing, right? Ajay: What?
Phani: Those mechanics are very disobedient.
Ajay: Oh money? You'll get it by the day after tomorrow.
Phani: That I know, Sir. I'm talking about something else.
Parties like you are generous.

How they say "fulfil our demands." Crazy.
Ajay: Don't worry about money.
Phani: No, but we always take advance money in business.
Ajay: What nonsense. I am giving you advance.

- Ajay: Your office? - Satu: Here from office.
Got some time in hand. So thought of visiting you.

Haradhan: I had tea yesterday. Ajay: So why put cigarette in it?
Throw it outside. Go.

Everything is complete. Satu: Where's the dish for making rice?
Ajay: These all are with your money. Let me show you.

Satu: Will they work?
Ajay: Yes why not? Will work perfectly.
- Satu: I mean will it be marketable? - Ajay: Yes yes, let me show you more.
See this. Satu: What's this?
Ajay: Piles of orders.
I just hopped the market, released an Ads, and see the result.
I doubt about reduced supply.
- Satu: But it's old. - Ajay: Where will you get a new one?
You're not getting it right.
Import is stopped. Almost totally. And demand is high. My good luck.
I won't say I wasn't scared at first. But now things are perfect.
You try one from me no, Datson's.
Satu: Umm will you be able to start it?

But you must be more careful.
Ajay: Let's go.
You should be more careful.
Moni: Where now?
(Ajay Singing) My mind wants more.
My mind wants the one whom I won't get.
My mind wants more.
Whatever I get, my mind is not satisfied.
It feels vacant.
(Moni singing) My mind wants more.
Ajay: Where are you? Where?
Moni: I'm here only. This side.
Ajay: Thank you.
- Ajay: Moni. - Moni: Yes.
Ajay: How do you think I am?
Moni: I don't know.
Ajay: I have gave you a lot of false information.
Moni: As in?
Ajay: Like this music tuition and all.
I've learnt music. Ostadji. Rabindra Sangeet etc.
people are requesting me for recording and all.
Actually--
Moni: I'm all ears.
Ajay: I learn by listening only.
Nothing else.
Won't you say anything?
Moni: Why did you lie?
Ajay: Just to make you feel good.
Moni. Moni: Yes.
- Ajay: I am sorry. - Moni: Oh what's this?
- Ajay: No listen. - Moni: No I won't.
Ajay: I understand the value of money frequently.
I went to the Handloom House that day.
Moni was buying something.
Suddenly a particular saree caught her eyes.
Beautiful. Moni couldn't turn her eyes from that.
I was like huge.
Suddenly I felt myself very expansive.
Very abruptly I told her to buy it. It's my present.
I had to act.
Disgusting.
Satu: You're bluffing her from day one.
Ajay: I'm disgusted with it.
I'd be happy to buy her the saree.
I'd feel happy. But I feel so poor myself.
Satu: God knows.
Ajay: Are you feeling superior?
Do you think I'm unscrupulous?
Satu: There's nothing to think. What you're doing is--
Ajay: I'll have to bear your curse as well.
What else can I do?
Satu: Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. You think of it yourself.
Ajay: I think of it.
Almost always.
I'll explain her everything.
Now I'm just
taking a little time.
First I'll have to manage the situation.
You don't really understand.
Satu: That's why I'm scared.
Ajay: Today only I was telling her
about my music class. That it was false--
(Crowd shouting)
Ajay: Wait wait wait.
Hey, what happened?
What happened?
Driver: I didn't do anything sir, I work as a driver in this house.
I have not done anything sir.
This man is beating me. He's a bad person. Ajay: Hey what happened?
- Man: He used slangs. - Ajay: Hey?
Driver: No sir, I didn't.
Man 2: You liar.
(Crowd shouting)
Ajay: Shut up. All shut up.
Driver: No sir I didn't use slangs.
Ajay: Come here, come here.
(Crowd arguing)
Ajay: Shut up, shut up.
Mr Sen: Oh god what happened?
All are here to beat my driver? Ajay: Wait, let me see.
Driver: These boys are--
(Crowd shouting)
Ajay: See if you misbehave, we can't let you stay here.
Driver: Sir they're calling madam--
(Crowd shouting)
Ajay: You are responsible for club, vigilance party and you're creating chaos?
- Mr Sen: See-- - Ajay: Get lost.
Crowd: Let's go, let's go.
Ajay: Hey Penu. Come here.
Handshake with him. Man: Peno go. As Ajay brother says.
- Ajay: Do it. - Man: You please tell them.
Ajay: Yes yes. Handshake with him.
Panu is a great organizer. Mr Sen: Is it?
- Ajay: He manages local club, football etc. - Mr Sen: Nice.
Ajay: Listen. Mr Sen will donate Rs 50 to your local Shetala Puja.
Crowd: Hurray.
(Crowd cheering up)
- Ajay: You go. - Mr Sen: God knows how talented people are.
(Crowd cheering up)
Ajay: Mr Phani. Listen me up.
Two among the three Ampmeter lots are back here. Yes.
Two more just came. From where? Haradhan: Haltu Vidyaniketan.
Ajay: See two more from Haltu Vidyaniketan.
They are not just working. Party has become furious. Naturally.
If two among three are not working. They'll be furious. You don't agree.
- Prakash: Instrument's office? - Haradhan: Here.
Ajay: No they haven't returned the Voltmeter.
Yes. Listen, I've managed the party somehow.
I promised them to replace everything in perfect order.
What? No they haven't cancelled the order.
Why'd they return Voltmeter? You've only sent two units. Yes.
Listen, I've sent the rejected units to your factory.
Yes. Now please don't mess things up.
OK. Bye. Yes.
- Ajay: So what's up? - Prakash: I came here yesterday.
Your office is nice. Ajay: Here's the cigarette.
- Prakash: What's that? - Ajay: Gold Flake is for guests.
- Prakash: It's a new fashion. - Ajay: Fashion?
Prakash: Of course. I mean
You smoke Charminar and claim that can't afford Gold Flake.
Leave it.
You're the boss, got an office, wearing expensive suite
and can't afford cigarette?
Ajay: This is show off. Kolkata's culture. Bogus.
Really. Trust me. You know Satu?
- Prakash: Who? - Ajay: Satyen Mitra.
My childhood friend. Science student. Prakash: Yes, seen him in college.
Ajay: These are his suites. Prakash: Is it?
Ajay: I use his house, telephone, and all.
Prakash: What is he doing now? Ajay: A big job.
Tell me about you? How's your wife?
Prakash: Good. I've got a quarter so will take her with me.
I've come here for some other work. Ajay: What's that?
- Prakash: Can I tell you openly? - Ajay: Why not?
Prakash: Can you get my brother a job? My own younger brother.
He knows typing, has completed I.A.
Ajay: It seems you're really impressed with my office show.
Prakash: You're not taking me seriously.
Ajay: Trust me, I'm not in such condition.
If business runs smoothly, then I'll have to hire. But now--
Prakash: Really? Ajay: Honestly.
Prakash: It'll run smoothly. Ajay: I'm trying my best.
Prakash: When will you understand?
Ajay: Maybe in a month or so.
Prakash: I'll meet you later.
Ajay: Yes yes, don't worry.
Now let's have some tea. Hey Haradhan.
OK, I'll make it myself.
I'll ask Satu if his office needs to hire. Also, if anything comes to my knowledge.
Oh. Sorry. Bad luck. Sugar is finished.
Phani: I need some more money, Sir.
Give me.
Satu: Ajay. Think again.
Small business is not possible this way. It won't run.
Ajay: No it'll run. Definitely run.
I'll prove it. Satu: Nonsense.
You don't see how giant businesses are dominating.
You can't make it in such a small scale. Those days are gone.
- Satu: Hey Ratan. Ratan. - Ratan: Yes.
Satu: That daal you made, with fish head
it's very delicious. Make it often.
- Ratan: You need more? - Satu: No.
Ratan: Take some more? Brother, you want some?
Have some no? Ajay: I'm not hungry.
- Satu: Have no, it's awesome. - Ajay: I'm not hungry.
Satu: OK you go.
Are you angry with me? Ajay: Why?
Satu: For that big business thing.
- Ajay: You talk nonsense. - Satu: Not really. That's true.
Ajay: What's so true in this?
Satu: Truth is that small businesses are ruined due to big businesses.
Ajay: Don't talk like communists. Bullshit.
- Satu: But it's a fact. - Ajay: What's a fact?
You talk about big business. One day I'll also be a big businessman.
Who's going to stop me? Satu: Don't be stupid.
Ajay: What stupid?
Satu: Are you still blind?
See how Mr Phani is asking for money.
He wants more money.
How will you get it? Who'll give you so much money?
Ajay: I'll get it somehow. I'll steal money but won't take it from you.
Satu: You're being fraud always. With an innocent girl.
Ajay: Satu. That's my personal matter.
Satu: You'll cheat people openly and no one will raise a voice?
You're not a child.
Mom: No, don't tell me. I can't afford more. No more.
Ajay: Mom, listen to me once.
Mom: We've that little money left in bank. What, will we starve to death?
Ajay: Oh don't talk rubbish. Listen to my plan once.
I need to give Mr Phani that money. I'll take it back in seven days.
- Mom: I won't give it. - Ajay: Mom please.
Mom: Take it. Write the amount yourself.
- Ajay: Mom. - Mom: Today ration didn't come.
Ajay: Mom. Listen.
- Mom: Tell me what it is. - Ajay: Come here no.
- Mom: Tell me. - Ajay: Come here.
Sit here. Sit no.
Why are you always worried about our present?
Don't you imagine our future? What will come next?
Imagine. A four room flat.
A living room. A bamboo table.
A few low chairs.
One side, there's your room. Bed, Almirah. A small Puja Place.
Another side, there'll be a dining space.
There will be a fridge. And an electrogram.
A telephone in the living room.
On the other side, there will be our room.
The home will be full of sunlight.
Not like these damp rooms.
In winter, you'll take sunbath on the balcony.
And Moni.
Moni will manage the washerman, the servants.
And you won't enter the kitchen to cook.
You'll go travel in a car. We'll have a car as well.
Moni will drive well, she'll take you to a lot of places.
Maybe Belur, Dhakkhineswar. Wherever you want.
I'll also often take you to places.
What? Seems unbelievable?
Mom: I haven't seen her yet.
Ajay: You'll get to see everything.
You just wait and watch.
Once the business runs well, I'll buy a new flat first.
I'll be relieved then.
You know mom, you see, you'll love Moni a lot.
She's very intelligent. Very calm and pleasant.
She's really a good girl, you know.
Mom: It's late night. Go sleep now.
Ajay: Hey? What's up?
- Satu: Office is closed. - Ajay: Why?
- Satu: A director died. Thrombosis. - Ajay: Good news.
Have a cigarette. Satu: You give me a Charminar.
It's OK. Give me one. Ajay: I can't go against rules. Take one.
- Ajay: Tell me. - Satu: You seem to be busy.
Ajay: Ya, lots of pending works. Completing those.
Satu: I was expecting you in the morning.
Ajay: You leave for office before 9 a.m. How can I go so early?
Satu: No, I was waiting for you today.
- Ajay: Why so? - Satu: I need to talk to you.
- Ajay: About what? - Satu: About yesterday's matter, I'm--
- Ajay: What's that? - Satu: That matter on dinner table.
Ajay: Hey leave it. It was my fault.
Ajay: OK, we both did mistake, so we'll be hanged to death.
- Satu: OK, I'll leave, won't disturb. - Ajay: Have some coffee?
Satu: No, it's holiday, I'll sleep this afternoon.
- Ajay: OK. - Satu: Listen. Take my car.
- Ajay: You won't need it? - Satu: I'll sleep.
Ajay: Lucky champ.
Satu: Oh yes, yesterday you said Mr Phani is asking for money.
- Ajay: That I've managed. - Satu: Are you sure?
- Ajay: He's already taken it. - Satu: I brought the money.
- Ajay: It's OK, you go. - Satu: OK, bye. See you in the evening.
Moni: Dad wanted to go.
Ajay: Where?
Moni: Strange. You only invited us.
Ajay: Oh yes yes.
So when? When he wants to visit?
Moni: Saturday afternoon. Why, is there any problem?
Ajay: No no, no problem.
Moni: Dad was praising you last night during dinner.
- Ajay: About what? - Moni: About you, or what?
- Ajay: Was he cursing me? - Moni: A lot.
Ajay: Moni
after you know everything about me
who knows, maybe he really--
Moni: You always poke to hear about your praises.
Ajay: Who knows, then you'll have to discard me to for your own good.
Moni: Oh.
- Ajay: What? - Moni: All nonsense.
Mr Sen: Hello, young man. Here. What's up?
Moni: Hey, he's calling you.
Mr Sen: What's up?
- Ajay: Are you talking with me? - Mr Sen: Yes, you.
I mean, you stay in our locality, right?
- Ajay: Sorry, I don't know you. - Mr Sen: Oh extremely sorry.
- Moni: Who's he? - Ajay: He's made a mistake.
You were with me, no.
Dad: Today China has made atom bomb.
Many in Delhi Parliament are saying that we've made atom bomb.
Now, Korea will make it, Japan will make it, Africa will make it.
Then what next? The entire world will be an atom bomb factory.
No this can't happen.
Oh see. So sorry. My bad.
- Ajay: No no, not me. - Dad: Go ahead.
Ajay: OK. I'll be right back.
Hey Ratan. Ratan: Yes.
Ajay: Come here soon. Where is the--
- Ratan: What? - Ajay: Lighter? Satu's one?
Ratan: Lighter is with him.
Ajay: Why, I told him to leave it here.
Search it carefully. Where can it go?
- Satu: Here it is. - Ajay: Give me.
Ratan is an idiot.
He misplaces things a lot.
Oh, what's this?
You haven't started it yet?
Moni: I've taken my tea.
- Ajay: You please. - Mom: Should I?
Ajay: It's cutlet made of curd.
Dad: That's why, nothing can be compared to Bengali sweets.
- Moni: Dad. - Mom: Be careful of your health.
Dad: Have you seen, Sarkar? I don't have the freedom to eat.
This blood pressure and my wife.
Mom: OK, have only one.
Dad: See, marriage is a bliss.
Ajay: Oh, you? Come, come. Let me introduce you
my friend, Satyen Mitra. Mr and Mrs Bose. Monika.
Satu: I think I've disturbed you.
- Ajay: OK, you have a seat no. - Satu: You?
- Ajay: Yes, you take yours. - Satu: OK.
Ajay: Hey why are you returning my car now? Why so hurry?
He took my car for some days.
Satu: The car is of no use for me. That's why. Here's the key.
- Ajay: What? - Satu: Keys.
Ajay: Oh yes. Its OK.
- Moni: Take this. - Satu: Thanks.
- Moni: I've heard about you. - Satu: Me too.
- Moni: I wanted to take this book of yours. - Satu: Eh?
Moni: I mean not now, maybe later.
Satu: Yes sure sure.
Ajay: Satu is a childhood friend of mine.
He's always been a very brilliant student. Unlike me.
Satu: Don't talk rubbish.
Ajay: See, he's very modest as well.
- Dad: Wow. Nice piece. - Ajay: Yes.
Dad: American model. Very rare these days.
Ajay: Satu only gifted my as a birthday present.
- Dad: I see. - Ajay: What happened?
Moni: You want water?
- Satu: Ratan. - Ratan: Yes.
- Satu: Get me some tea. - Ratan: OK.
Ajay: So how was it all?
- Satu: What? - Ajay: Stupid.
- Satu: Oh. Good. - Ajay: That's it?
- Satu: See, you're cheating. - Ajay: Please, no lecture.
Satu: No, not a lecture. But with a girl like her--
So explain her. What more mess do you want?
Ajay: Explain now? Are you crazy?
If the know my situation now, they'll be scared.
Satu: Later she'll think you've cheated on her.
You were greedy of her father's money.
Ajay: Complete the sentence.
Go hell with your status. I'll also have status.
Satu: I received my mom's letter today.
Her gallbladder is giving her trouble.
Ajay: What? Is she coming here in Kolkata?
Satu: I don't know. If required, she'll have to come.
Boy: Come here. This side. You'll go to Hari brother's place?
- Ajay: Who's Hari brother? - Boy: Hari brother is Mr Phani's son.
Come here.
Hari brother. Hari brother. You wait here.
No one is at home.
- Ajay: Even his son is not in? - Boy: Only girls.
Girl: Dad is in the factory.
Ajay: Strange. I haven't reached him for the past three days.
OK.
Satu: He's trying to escape, right?
Ajay: I seems so.
Satu: I knew something like this could happen.
This is not the right way.
- Ajay: But as per his words-- - Satu: They are all alike.
Then they will collect some money and--
Ajay: But see, I don't think he's dishonest.
I think he might be in trouble with some instruments.
Satu: What do you think? Will he do anything?
Ajay: He's telling so. Now let's see.

Ajay: She's doing good. How are you?
Mom: It's going good. But often pain increases.
Satu: I called Dr Ghosh. He'll come tomorrow.
Ajay: See aunty. Doctors won't work.
You stay here for some time. There's Ratan, his foods will cure your health.
Mom: No way.
Here's so much pollution and chaos. I don't like Kolkata.
Ajay: City of all cities. You don't understand.
Mom: Hey Ajay, I've brought this shawl from Allahabad for your mom.
Got the best deal. Take it when you leave.
