WEBVTT

00:24.600 --> 00:26.560
Since 1947

00:27.080 --> 00:30.520
West Pakistan
has been inflicting wars on India

00:31.120 --> 00:33.840
while internally
bleeding the fertile plains

00:33.840 --> 00:34.960
of the East

00:34.960 --> 00:38.240
dry of resources to fund their wars.

00:39.240 --> 00:40.520
Till one fine day

00:40.800 --> 00:44.320
the poor Bengali majority
decided to break free

00:44.320 --> 00:46.400
from the shackles of the cruel

00:46.400 --> 00:49.880
Urdu speaking
minority powers of the West.

00:50.680 --> 00:52.560
For the first time in history

00:52.800 --> 00:55.000
the majority of a nation

00:55.000 --> 00:57.960
decided to
break free from the minority.

00:59.120 --> 01:01.120
Till 1971

01:01.120 --> 01:03.120
“Bangla” was a language

01:03.520 --> 01:06.880
Since then, it’s been a nation.

01:07.960 --> 01:11.320
But this is not merely a record of maps

01:11.720 --> 01:13.880
but the story of a nobody

01:13.880 --> 01:17.400
who found the courage
to become a somebody.

01:18.200 --> 01:20.040
And it all began

01:20.040 --> 01:22.640
right here, right now.

01:42.320 --> 01:44.320
They're here!

02:20.600 --> 02:23.200
-They must be out of bullets.
Shall we charge now?

02:24.160 --> 02:25.560
-One is still left.

02:29.920 --> 02:32.840
The hospital is 10 miles away,
Professor...

02:33.040 --> 02:36.160
You can prevent gangrene
if we take you there in the jeep.

02:36.280 --> 02:37.320
-Run!

02:37.400 --> 02:39.800
-We can't leave you behind, sir!

02:41.200 --> 02:42.640
-I am surrendering.

02:42.800 --> 02:46.040
-No, sir...
-It'll buy you to time to escape!

02:46.960 --> 02:49.600
Well done, Bengali!

02:50.320 --> 02:52.800
I just want those three kids,
Professor!

02:53.280 --> 02:54.560
Go!

03:01.520 --> 03:03.040
Careful!

03:03.200 --> 03:04.520
Go!

03:05.760 --> 03:07.320
Go into hiding!

03:16.200 --> 03:19.080
Go! Run! I want them alive!

03:32.520 --> 03:34.080
(bomb explodes)

04:03.120 --> 04:05.400
-Sir!
-Oh! Welcome back, Tapan!

04:06.280 --> 04:07.280
Sit.

04:07.680 --> 04:09.200
Just a minute, sir.

04:13.640 --> 04:14.640
Breakfast?

04:14.920 --> 04:15.920
-Sure, sir.

04:28.400 --> 04:32.240
The unused cartridges from Vietnam
are now being used against Bengalis.

04:35.200 --> 04:37.640
Talk to Srivastav,
settle the accounts.

04:39.720 --> 04:42.160
-Join back on the 1st.
-Okay, sir.

04:42.840 --> 04:44.000
-Sit...

04:57.800 --> 04:58.880
Sir.

05:00.120 --> 05:01.800
They haven’t found those boys yet.

05:04.040 --> 05:05.840
-Which means...
-Which means...

05:06.600 --> 05:09.840
as and when they do,
they will make them say that

05:10.200 --> 05:13.120
top East Pakistan leader
had asked for our help

05:13.240 --> 05:15.640
to take down the eastern military
three years ago.

05:18.160 --> 05:20.360
They are the only witnesses
of that meeting.

05:20.920 --> 05:22.200
If caught...

05:22.720 --> 05:24.920
Mujib's electoral future is over.

05:26.720 --> 05:28.720
They are our assets now.

06:13.360 --> 06:15.760
We’ve been screaming
from Islamabad...

06:17.120 --> 06:19.400
“We are brothers!"

06:21.320 --> 06:23.160
Why do you want freedom?

06:25.160 --> 06:26.520
Bangla...

06:27.880 --> 06:29.200
in our Ajan,

06:31.360 --> 06:32.720
in our songs,

06:33.640 --> 06:35.240
in our blood...

06:37.640 --> 06:39.760
in our breaths!

06:40.720 --> 06:43.880
No one will be able to hold us down!

06:48.280 --> 06:49.760
Then decide...

06:51.080 --> 06:53.880
Bengali or Muslim?

06:54.360 --> 06:55.760
Both.

06:56.240 --> 06:57.600
Joy--

07:05.080 --> 07:06.920
Tensions are mounting up, sir.

07:07.680 --> 07:09.640
Shouldn’t we do something?

07:10.920 --> 07:14.080
The ISI have a 20-year head start
on us, Colonel.

07:15.040 --> 07:18.400
Hence, plainclothes defenders
of the nation are important.

07:19.040 --> 07:20.040
-I agree, sir.

07:21.040 --> 07:23.720
Servicemen like Tapan
are our best bet.

07:24.720 --> 07:27.160
But do you really need to
get this civilian-hiring

07:27.200 --> 07:29.600
Ian Fleming business
you’ve approved?

07:30.200 --> 07:31.760
We need to find the students.

07:32.360 --> 07:35.360
Protect them and us,
from headlines such as

07:35.720 --> 07:38.920
“Witnesses testify
to the Mujib Agartala Conspiracy!”

07:39.840 --> 07:43.560
And help Mujib realize his victory
through the democratic process.

07:43.600 --> 07:46.200
You really think
the West Pakistan establishment...

07:46.360 --> 07:48.080
Yahya, Bhutto...

07:48.200 --> 07:50.800
they will allow
free & fair elections in the East?

07:50.800 --> 07:51.920
Maybe not.

07:52.640 --> 07:56.600
But we must not do anything
that makes India’s support evident.

07:58.760 --> 08:02.200
So the Pak army
will keep spreading terror there

08:02.720 --> 08:04.320
and we'll just sit quiet...

08:04.400 --> 08:06.280
You're not listening carefully,
Colonel.

08:06.360 --> 08:07.600
-Sir?

08:08.240 --> 08:09.280
Help them.

08:10.040 --> 08:12.000
But don’t leave any evidence.

08:22.560 --> 08:24.920
These three young lads...

08:25.320 --> 08:28.560
are being chased
by the Pakistani army's gunshots.

08:29.320 --> 08:31.800
Running and thinking...

08:32.240 --> 08:36.360
"Why the hell did Mom and Dad
think up a fairy tale

08:37.120 --> 08:40.760
where a nation armed with religion
could be their paradise..."

08:43.560 --> 08:44.880
Epic fail.

08:46.120 --> 08:49.480
Now, West Punjabi Islamists

08:49.480 --> 08:52.800
those self important clowns
in uniforms...

08:53.760 --> 09:00.200
they want to stomp Bengali language,
music & culture to dust.

09:01.600 --> 09:05.040
Religion alone can't build
a nation, my friend.

09:05.920 --> 09:08.640
It needs the dusty soil,
the pull of language,

09:08.800 --> 09:11.440
and bloodcurdling screams
of liberation.

09:12.320 --> 09:17.880
And now, where are the children of
those who chose Pakistan running to?

09:18.760 --> 09:20.200
To India.

09:20.960 --> 09:23.240
To the doors
of Calcutta's Bengalis.

09:24.360 --> 09:26.280
They, who'll greet their brothers
with open arms

09:26.440 --> 09:29.320
even though their own pockets
are torn,

09:30.240 --> 09:32.840
their streets are lined
with garbage...

09:34.120 --> 09:39.360
There's no other way, brother.
Ties of language, are ties of blood.

09:41.240 --> 09:46.480
This story is of such
a forgotten half-mad vagrant.

09:47.680 --> 09:50.760
This is a story of an unperturbed
king of a night club,

09:51.840 --> 09:54.000
still unaware

09:54.200 --> 09:58.040
that amidst Park Street's
dazzling lights & Jazz melodies,

09:58.240 --> 10:01.840
the song of freedom shall rise.

10:03.560 --> 10:06.320
The song that will break Pakistan
in half.

10:06.480 --> 10:07.280
-Hello, sir.

10:07.280 --> 10:10.000
And its roar will give birth...

10:10.280 --> 10:11.560
to a new nation.

10:13.360 --> 10:18.360
The song that will bear
India's greatest win forever.

10:19.880 --> 10:22.960
Here, in the City of Joy.

10:33.280 --> 10:37.120
From your lips on the embouche

10:37.400 --> 10:40.520
Pour the jazz into me

10:41.440 --> 10:45.120
With the red moon rising

10:45.520 --> 10:48.440
Tell me where I should be

10:48.520 --> 10:51.080
Pull over my soul

10:52.440 --> 10:55.920
Cover me in your song

10:56.520 --> 10:58.680
Kiss me through the blood

11:20.440 --> 11:22.320
-How are you, Jimmy sir?

11:23.880 --> 11:25.840
-How are you?
-Good.

11:27.400 --> 11:28.640
Is sir inside?

11:28.760 --> 11:29.880
-Hmm.
-Let's go.

11:40.640 --> 11:41.840
-Damn it!
-Who is it?

11:41.920 --> 11:43.200
-Cockroach, sir! Wait!

11:46.640 --> 11:48.800
-Why don't you call pest control?

11:50.880 --> 11:53.840
-Is it that easy to control them?

11:53.880 --> 11:57.120
Who can tell
when pets will turn into pests?

11:58.360 --> 11:59.680
You never know!

12:02.600 --> 12:03.600
Do come.

12:03.960 --> 12:04.960
Where?

12:05.680 --> 12:08.800
Please. The club doors
will always be open for you.

12:09.360 --> 12:12.200
When the doors shut on me,

12:12.760 --> 12:15.680
I know how to kick them open!

12:16.760 --> 12:22.280
You're a partner now, yet you keep
saying "Yes, sir. No, sir."

12:22.800 --> 12:25.560
Once a servant, always a servant.

12:25.680 --> 12:26.800
Please, sir.

12:27.840 --> 12:30.680
All your old clients
& ex-girlfriends...

12:30.720 --> 12:33.480
They keep asking about you.
They miss you.

12:34.240 --> 12:36.680
"Where is Arora these days?
Is he alive?"

12:37.280 --> 12:39.040
At least come and meet them.

12:40.640 --> 12:41.760
Bye, sir.

12:44.440 --> 12:46.760
(grand music)

13:00.040 --> 13:01.840
-Hey, seen Parineeta?
-No I haven’t.

13:01.920 --> 13:03.960
And frankly, don't want to also!
-Why?

13:04.120 --> 13:06.760
-Cops are beating up students...

13:06.960 --> 13:10.040
And here Bengalis are gloating in
Sarat Chandra’s sentimentality.

13:17.680 --> 13:19.280
-What is going on!

13:19.840 --> 13:21.760
The refugee influx is non-stop.

13:21.920 --> 13:23.840
It’s your country, you manage it.

13:24.040 --> 13:25.840
Why burden us?

13:26.200 --> 13:27.680
Mr. Agarwal,

13:28.800 --> 13:30.400
let me give you an example.

13:30.560 --> 13:35.200
In 1947, there were
four jute mills in East Pakistan.

13:36.480 --> 13:39.320
And in the West...
there were 25 of those.

13:40.040 --> 13:46.000
23 years later, today, this number
here has gone up from four to five.

13:46.720 --> 13:49.880
You know the number
on the other side?

13:51.720 --> 13:53.240
350!

13:53.960 --> 13:57.280
The city of jazz

13:58.120 --> 14:01.480
The city that moans

14:03.720 --> 14:06.480
These youngsters can't afford
your wine list.

14:06.800 --> 14:08.760
Why do they come here? To sniff?

14:08.880 --> 14:11.200
Hope they don’t make trouble.

14:11.360 --> 14:14.120
They won't, sir.
They come here for Pamela.

14:14.240 --> 14:15.680
Still on your first drink?

14:15.760 --> 14:18.320
-Please attend them properly.
-Okay, sir.

14:18.520 --> 14:21.080
-How long will you nurse this peg?
-Mr. Jamini Roy?

14:21.280 --> 14:22.360
-Huh?

14:22.520 --> 14:23.800
Jimmy. Jimmy Roy.

14:24.760 --> 14:28.800
But our records say Jamini Roy.

14:29.880 --> 14:31.800
Record? Which record?

14:31.960 --> 14:33.760
Excise department, I'm Sinha.

14:34.200 --> 14:36.760
-Ah.
-There’s been a small problem.

14:36.840 --> 14:38.520
-Whose problem?
-Uh...

14:39.080 --> 14:43.960
Tonight, after 12 a.m.,
Jazz City’s liquor permit expires.

14:44.120 --> 14:45.600
What! How?

14:45.840 --> 14:47.600
Sorry, are you joking?

14:48.120 --> 14:51.840
Joke? Oh, because I’m smiling?
No, I am the jolly type...

14:52.040 --> 14:53.320
I'm dead serious.

14:54.960 --> 14:57.760
-Let me get you a drink, lemonade?
-No, it's fine.

14:57.920 --> 14:59.080
One lemonade!

14:59.480 --> 15:00.400
Come.

15:04.880 --> 15:05.960
Mr...

15:06.120 --> 15:07.400
-Sinha.
-Sinha! Right!

15:07.520 --> 15:10.840
See. Tomorrow's New Year’s Eve.
Can we settle this day after?

15:10.920 --> 15:13.440
You’ll receive a proper application
on your desk.

15:13.520 --> 15:17.320
Even an improper application
on time would've saved you.

15:17.480 --> 15:19.440
Ugh! It just slipped my mind!

15:19.520 --> 15:22.560
Seriously. I was thinking about it
yesterday. But, you know...

15:22.720 --> 15:24.720
I have been so busy
with this New Year event.

15:24.840 --> 15:25.880
The 70s are coming.

15:25.960 --> 15:28.360
I mean the Mayor, lawyers,
politicians,

15:28.400 --> 15:30.240
you name it, everyone's coming.

15:30.320 --> 15:32.000
That's what I'm saying...

15:32.080 --> 15:36.200
Shouldn’t you have renewed
your permit before all this?

15:36.560 --> 15:37.640
You're right.

15:37.800 --> 15:39.920
You're right, my bad.

15:40.000 --> 15:41.360
Honest mistake.

15:41.600 --> 15:42.960
Let tomorrow’s party happen.

15:43.400 --> 15:45.920
In fact why don’t you come down
with ma'am tomorrow?

15:48.080 --> 15:51.120
Or you can come alone.
Uh, I can book the front table.

15:51.240 --> 15:53.680
No. It’ll be a dry
New Year’s eve for me.

15:53.720 --> 15:55.120
You are the one celebrating.

15:55.320 --> 15:56.520
Uh, excuse me?

15:56.920 --> 15:57.800
Sir...

15:58.720 --> 16:00.480
It's about our reputation.

16:00.560 --> 16:02.960
And what about
our department's reputation?

16:03.160 --> 16:04.200
Jimmy!

16:04.840 --> 16:07.400
You have been ignoring me
all this time, Jimmy.

16:07.400 --> 16:10.200
Darling, that’s such a lie!
You know that.

16:10.280 --> 16:12.680
Let me introduce you...
my good friend, Mr. Sinha.

16:12.840 --> 16:14.760
-Hello.
-Oindrilla, uh, Lily Banerjee.

16:14.960 --> 16:17.000
Mayor Sudhir Banerjee’s
only daughter.

16:17.040 --> 16:18.560
-Hello.
-And Lily...

16:18.640 --> 16:21.200
He refuses to believe
that our cassata

16:21.280 --> 16:22.840
is one of the best in the city.

16:23.000 --> 16:24.720
-Believe it?
-It is!

16:25.360 --> 16:28.560
But I am waiting
for that champagne tower. Okay?

16:28.720 --> 16:30.520
-Only seen it in Hollywood movies.
-Jimmy!

16:30.600 --> 16:33.080
Ah! Mr. Patnaik... All well?

16:33.200 --> 16:35.560
Yes, all well. Well, Jimmy...

16:35.640 --> 16:40.080
I’m specially flying the CEO in
for you tomorrow.

16:40.200 --> 16:41.360
That's brilliant!

16:41.440 --> 16:44.440
Hey! Mr. Kaul! It's been a while!

16:45.240 --> 16:49.680
-Mr. Kaul, what are you doing here?
Are the tea gardens covered in ice?

16:49.720 --> 16:52.520
No ice in the tea gardens,
nor in my glass.

16:52.640 --> 16:54.480
Oh, ice! Chandu!

16:55.120 --> 16:59.000
Expect the ice to go into
just cold drinks this time.

16:59.400 --> 17:00.640
Why?

17:00.840 --> 17:02.000
I didn’t get the joke.

17:02.080 --> 17:05.040
Not a joke, a riddle. Excuse me.

17:05.120 --> 17:06.960
Please enjoy the drink.
Lily, I'll see you.

17:07.040 --> 17:09.120
Um, Mr. Sinha, please come...

17:18.400 --> 17:19.600
Move...

17:19.680 --> 17:20.600
Out.

17:21.120 --> 17:22.480
Aha!

17:22.720 --> 17:26.040
So tell me,
what do I have to do now?

17:27.280 --> 17:29.800
Not much,
just put up a sign outside:

17:30.520 --> 17:32.560
‘No liquor served
until further notice.'

17:32.640 --> 17:34.600
-Sir.
-Or 'Closed until further notice.'

17:34.640 --> 17:36.960
-Choice is yours.
-Oh, come on...

17:37.120 --> 17:38.760
Why don't you take a drink too?

17:39.000 --> 17:41.640
Someone get some lime soda for sir.

17:41.920 --> 17:44.200
Sweet or salty is his choice.

17:44.320 --> 17:46.000
-You want something, sir?

17:47.840 --> 17:49.840
-How can I...
-Yum!

17:50.280 --> 17:51.720
-I better go.
-Huh...

17:52.080 --> 17:53.520
Remember, 12 a.m.

17:53.680 --> 17:54.680
-Hmm.
-Bye.

17:54.720 --> 17:55.840
-Bye.

18:11.280 --> 18:13.280
Thank you, my lovelies!

18:14.360 --> 18:18.000
Now a special kiss
flies out to you, Mr. Marya!

18:19.880 --> 18:22.800
Ladies and gentleman,
our guest from Bangalore.

18:22.880 --> 18:25.200
-Whose exciting new brand of beer...
-Excuse me.

18:25.320 --> 18:26.280
What is it?

18:28.480 --> 18:31.040
Goodness, man, were you
looking at me while scribbling this?

18:31.120 --> 18:33.880
Nib’s all over the place!

18:36.760 --> 18:38.680
Hello? It's me.

18:39.160 --> 18:40.560
Cancel the permit.

18:41.600 --> 18:42.880
Listen...

18:44.000 --> 18:46.760
Someone came & told me
the liquor permit has expired.

18:46.920 --> 18:50.240
-...better place
to launch Virginia...

18:50.440 --> 18:53.920
You have the whole day tomorrow.
Start making calls.

18:54.880 --> 18:56.240
Uh, let me see...

18:56.480 --> 18:58.440
There’s Sengupta
at Writer's Building.

18:58.520 --> 19:00.120
We'll figure it out.

19:01.560 --> 19:05.360
...and its special stone, Jazz City!

19:06.680 --> 19:08.120
No renewal.

19:08.480 --> 19:10.080
Until I say so.

19:10.640 --> 19:11.640
Good.

19:13.160 --> 19:15.480
The crowd has
a special shine today.

19:15.600 --> 19:18.800
Why don't you get hold of
that MLA from Alipore?

19:19.240 --> 19:21.760
He’s been freeloading here everyday!

19:21.840 --> 19:22.840
Phew!

19:23.480 --> 19:25.000
-Excuse me for a bit.

19:25.400 --> 19:27.960
-Mr Pachu... how is it going?

19:28.160 --> 19:30.160
-Well, alright.

19:32.560 --> 19:35.760
Miss Sheela Bose!

19:42.000 --> 19:43.440
Please, once more!

19:43.560 --> 19:45.640
One more song, please, ma'am!

19:45.720 --> 19:46.760
So long!

19:46.800 --> 19:48.840
-Sheela Bose, one song from you!
Please!

19:48.960 --> 19:51.840
-Please, Miss Bose, sing a song?
-One song...

19:52.000 --> 19:55.160
Now, now, gentlemen, calm down!

19:56.320 --> 19:59.080
Sheela, sugar, you want to sing?

20:00.960 --> 20:02.000
Done.

20:02.120 --> 20:04.960
She is our guest.
And normally, guest is god,

20:05.080 --> 20:07.480
but tonight the goddess
is our guest!

20:07.560 --> 20:09.800
-Go, Sheela!
-One song, please!

20:11.240 --> 20:12.800
-Calm down!

20:13.840 --> 20:16.960
So? You just zip it, okay?

20:17.760 --> 20:19.960
And keep your eyes on me!

20:21.360 --> 20:22.680
Hit it, guys!

20:25.240 --> 20:31.120
You follow my name

20:31.480 --> 20:32.960
Let's sit down.

20:36.160 --> 20:38.560
-How are you, Sheela?
-How are you, hello!

20:39.000 --> 20:40.240
Bless you!

20:40.320 --> 20:42.520
-Been a while.
-Ah, yes.

20:42.680 --> 20:44.360
Yes... How've you been?

20:44.640 --> 20:45.720
Take care.

20:45.800 --> 20:47.000
Take care...

20:49.400 --> 20:50.600
Thank you.
-Thank you, ma'am.

20:50.920 --> 20:54.280
Can you read my mind?

20:57.400 --> 20:58.480
Hello, Jimmy Roy.

20:58.800 --> 20:59.800
Hello.

21:01.280 --> 21:05.040
Marya called you Miss Bose...
Aren’t you Mrs. Chaterjee now?

21:05.240 --> 21:08.120
No, I haven’t changed my surname.

21:08.320 --> 21:10.640
-Ah. For a second I thought maybe...

21:11.240 --> 21:12.920
-Maybe?
-Nothing.

21:15.360 --> 21:17.720
So... been a while.

21:18.480 --> 21:21.520
-Everyone misses you here.
-Then "everyone" could have called.

21:21.800 --> 21:22.800
Yeah...

21:23.760 --> 21:25.440
Are you very busy?

21:26.920 --> 21:28.520
I try to do what I can.

21:28.680 --> 21:30.880
-Hmm.
-You know how things are.

21:31.640 --> 21:35.560
Trying my best to find employment
for the refugees.

21:35.680 --> 21:37.360
Mr. Marya is helping.

21:37.440 --> 21:38.920
Employment?

21:40.160 --> 21:43.400
Employment opportunities
for the refugees, Jimmy.

21:43.560 --> 21:45.680
-Yeah...
-Don’t be a prude.

21:47.080 --> 21:50.160
And you chose to meet Marya here?

21:50.960 --> 21:52.360
He chose.

21:53.200 --> 21:54.440
I obliged.

21:56.040 --> 21:57.920
Let’s go, he’s waiting

22:03.080 --> 22:09.640
Fingers from nape,
to the small of my back

22:11.400 --> 22:14.320
Don't lose the tempo

22:17.800 --> 22:19.360
-I almost forgot...

22:19.440 --> 22:21.720
you both know each other.

22:21.760 --> 22:24.680
From your ... Snowfox days!

22:24.840 --> 22:27.720
Old friends, Mr. Marya, old friends.

22:28.080 --> 22:31.840
-And look at Sheela ji now!
The work she is doing...

22:32.000 --> 22:33.560
Absolutely remarkable!

22:33.720 --> 22:35.160
Just Sheela, please.

22:35.280 --> 22:37.960
-How many people even care?

22:38.040 --> 22:40.720
Poor things escaping
to this side to survive.

22:40.880 --> 22:42.640
Ah. Poor Pakistanis.

22:43.400 --> 22:45.520
They don’t call themselves
Pakistanis.

22:46.160 --> 22:50.200
Until a few years ago, they were
part of the great Indian family.

22:50.360 --> 22:54.720
-Hmm. But when the borders were
being drawn, everyone wanted...

22:54.880 --> 22:56.760
a separate kitchen
in the joint family. Right?

22:56.880 --> 22:59.320
They made a choice.
Point to be noted.

23:00.560 --> 23:02.920
-Since Pakistan is treating them
as stepsons now,

23:03.080 --> 23:05.640
they are seeking refuge
from Mother India.

23:05.800 --> 23:09.440
But, during Noakhali,
they were all just "Muslims". Huh?

23:10.240 --> 23:12.640
Now suddenly everybody is Bengali?

23:12.800 --> 23:15.640
Jimmy, you remember Kaberi,
my sister?

23:15.800 --> 23:16.960
-Yeah.

23:17.360 --> 23:20.040
-I should forget her existence
across the border too?

23:20.160 --> 23:22.480
-Right?
-Is she alright?

23:22.600 --> 23:23.880
You found Kaberi?

23:23.960 --> 23:25.560
She’s completing her studies there.

23:25.640 --> 23:26.560
-Oh.

23:27.600 --> 23:29.600
I saw her photo in the newspaper.

23:29.680 --> 23:31.680
An article on
a student demonstration.

23:31.720 --> 23:33.320
My husband knew
some journalists there.

23:33.360 --> 23:34.760
They helped us find her.

23:34.920 --> 23:36.040
That’s great!

23:36.400 --> 23:37.720
Um, met her?

23:37.880 --> 23:40.360
-Hmm.
-So, now what? Get her here!

23:40.440 --> 23:41.440
She used to sing, right?

23:41.560 --> 23:42.480
-Hmm.

23:42.800 --> 23:45.560
The Pakistani government
will force her to speak Urdu there.

23:45.640 --> 23:47.920
And here, you will make her
sing in English.

23:48.200 --> 23:49.440
What’s the difference?

23:49.560 --> 23:52.600
As if she's singing
Tagore & Nazrul’s songs there.

23:52.680 --> 23:55.560
-It's all banned.
-And here? Everything is okay?

23:55.720 --> 23:56.960
Any doubt?

23:57.800 --> 24:01.280
Didn’t the government put a ban
on Hindi film music some years ago?

24:01.480 --> 24:05.160
Didn’t they say that the melodies
of those songs are westernized,

24:05.280 --> 24:08.600
that their lyrics have lots of
erotic, Urdu words?

24:10.560 --> 24:12.240
But who profited from that?

24:13.040 --> 24:15.520
Radio Ceylon Geetmala
cashed in on the opportunity.

24:15.600 --> 24:17.520
Akashvani, naturally,
came under pressure.

24:17.600 --> 24:19.480
And Vividh Bharati was born.

24:20.000 --> 24:22.640
Brothers and sisters!
Eventually money talks!

24:23.640 --> 24:26.560
You can change the subject, Jimmy,
but you can’t run from it.

24:26.800 --> 24:28.240
No one’s running, Sheela.

24:29.440 --> 24:31.120
You used to sing in English too.

24:31.160 --> 24:34.680
Of course, this blow-dried,
Brit sarcasm is a new addition.

24:36.040 --> 24:39.480
Have you heard of
the Martin Burn company, Mr. Marya?

24:39.640 --> 24:43.520
-Hmm, the people who constructed
the Victoria Memorial...

24:43.640 --> 24:46.720
-Yes. It was a partnership between

24:46.840 --> 24:49.200
Thomas Martin
and Sir Rajen Mookerjee.

24:49.320 --> 24:52.680
Thomas suggested, they call their
business Martin and Mookerjee.

24:52.760 --> 24:55.880
But, Sir Mookerjee actually refused.

24:56.080 --> 25:00.320
He knew European clients
would trust a Christian name.

25:01.360 --> 25:06.320
There is sentimental nostalgia
and then there is the real world.

25:06.400 --> 25:07.400
-Excuse me.

25:07.880 --> 25:09.400
-I'll just be back.
-Sure.

25:12.880 --> 25:15.560
-What was that?
Uh, maybe I shouldn't ask.

25:15.760 --> 25:19.200
Don't take a tiff
between old friends seriously.

25:19.800 --> 25:21.880
Anyway, I need some advice.

25:23.400 --> 25:25.920
My liquor permit’s expired.

25:26.000 --> 25:29.480
And I need to renew it,
and I need to renew it right now!

25:30.480 --> 25:34.040
A fast-track in this city?
You must be joking!

25:36.560 --> 25:42.240
Jimmy... I brought Virginia
to Calcutta on your word, man.

25:43.320 --> 25:45.960
Or else, you know,
investor sentiments...

25:46.680 --> 25:49.280
I’ll get it, sir.
Don't worry, I'll get it.

25:49.560 --> 25:52.680
Why don't you ask Sir Boren?
He knows a lot of people.

25:52.720 --> 25:54.440
-No...
-About what?

25:55.560 --> 25:58.000
Jimmy's lost his liquor permit.
Can your husband help?

25:58.040 --> 25:58.920
-Oh!

25:59.360 --> 26:02.760
He’s in Delhi now. I’ll arrange
for a meeting when he returns

26:03.520 --> 26:06.360
in my new blow-dried English!

26:06.960 --> 26:08.400
Meet him.

26:08.760 --> 26:10.600
Shall we go? I need to get home.

26:10.680 --> 26:11.880
Of course.

26:12.720 --> 26:14.240
Come, I'll see you home.

26:14.800 --> 26:16.240
-Come.
-Thank you.

26:20.640 --> 26:21.800
-Sheela?
-Hmm?

26:22.560 --> 26:23.560
-I’m sorry.

26:25.640 --> 26:29.800
Coming for tomorrow's party?
Everyone misses you a lot here.

26:30.320 --> 26:32.920
I’ll remember
that everyone misses me.

26:53.120 --> 26:54.440
Okay, guys...

26:55.360 --> 26:56.960
Dress rehearsal was successful,

26:57.200 --> 26:58.720
it's the final match tomorrow.
Right?

26:58.840 --> 26:59.960
-Hmm...

27:01.040 --> 27:02.040
-Chef...

27:02.720 --> 27:04.800
The caramelisation is excellent!

27:05.160 --> 27:07.440
The prawn cocktail
can have little more chilly.

27:07.520 --> 27:09.040
Let them have the kick, man.

27:09.160 --> 27:12.720
-Ya?
-Want to try adding more mustard?

27:12.880 --> 27:15.840
No last moment changes
please, madam.

27:16.000 --> 27:17.520
Go, get some good night’s sleep.

27:17.640 --> 27:19.120
Come a bit early tomorrow.
Thank you.

27:19.280 --> 27:20.760
-I do that everyday.
-Ya!

27:24.040 --> 27:26.640
Queen of my dreams,
when will you come?

27:26.800 --> 27:29.240
You look after
your own beauty sleep, sugar!

27:29.360 --> 27:30.960
Go on, get going.

27:31.720 --> 27:32.800
Yes.

27:32.960 --> 27:35.320
I have to handle a small issue,
then I’ll call it a day.

27:35.400 --> 27:36.400
What issue?

27:36.880 --> 27:38.360
Nothing... Eat, will you!

27:38.600 --> 27:40.120
About that liquor license?

27:40.240 --> 27:41.680
-Ugh!
-I knew it!

27:41.720 --> 27:44.680
I watched that man come
and hand you the papers.

27:44.840 --> 27:45.960
What paper?

27:46.640 --> 27:47.720
Renewal notice.

27:47.960 --> 27:50.240
It came a month back,
no one paid any heed.

27:50.440 --> 27:53.000
-Damn!
-Stop complaining, Joseph!

27:53.160 --> 27:55.240
Why didn’t you remind me
before the license expired?

27:55.320 --> 27:56.960
-I had told you.
-What did I say?

27:57.040 --> 27:59.240
“Stop complaining, Joseph!”

27:59.440 --> 28:00.720
Oh, okay.

28:02.040 --> 28:03.760
Can't you go for a deal?

28:03.840 --> 28:06.440
-No, man! He’s adamant!
-Oh.

28:06.640 --> 28:09.080
I could always try wearing
a lower neckline?

28:09.240 --> 28:12.240
Okay, alright, guys, come on.

28:12.440 --> 28:13.720
Relax!

28:13.880 --> 28:16.320
I can handle trivial problems
like these.

28:16.800 --> 28:19.160
Just put on the best show
for tomorrow. Yeah?

28:19.320 --> 28:21.120
Yes! Lovely!

28:22.280 --> 28:23.720
Thank you, darling!

28:24.440 --> 28:26.120
-Good night...
-Good night.

28:26.640 --> 28:27.680
-Good night!
-Good night.

28:28.320 --> 28:29.560
-Good night...

28:50.040 --> 28:50.920
-What am I hearing?

28:51.000 --> 28:53.720
-You heard it absolutely right,
sir. The place is overbooked.

28:53.800 --> 28:55.720
And I’m not taking
any last moment...

28:55.760 --> 28:59.520
No, no...
I heard there won’t be any booze!

29:00.800 --> 29:03.000
There is no prohibition
in Calcutta, darling.

29:03.080 --> 29:05.240
And I haven’t printed
the bar menu on the invites.

29:05.320 --> 29:08.120
-My dad was saying, so I thought...

29:09.680 --> 29:11.800
Don’t believe rumours, Mr. Da gama.

29:11.920 --> 29:13.840
Have I ever delayed
on the credit alignment?

29:13.920 --> 29:15.240
-No, brother.
-Then?

29:15.320 --> 29:19.240
I'm getting calls from the bar
across yours. What do I do?

29:19.440 --> 29:20.880
Oh wow!

29:21.600 --> 29:23.560
You still answer their calls?

29:23.680 --> 29:25.760
-Well...
-Great! They cleared the dues?

29:25.840 --> 29:27.000
-Nope!

29:27.120 --> 29:29.480
Anyway...
You're sending the boys, right?

29:30.520 --> 29:31.600
Hmm.

29:31.760 --> 29:32.960
Okay.

29:37.520 --> 29:40.520
-Jimmy, how will you manage
on your own?

29:40.720 --> 29:43.280
I told you to employ Mr. Munshi.

29:43.440 --> 29:45.320
Just get the permit cleared fast.

29:45.400 --> 29:46.400
Just tell Uncle, please?

29:46.480 --> 29:47.800
Are you nuts?

29:48.080 --> 29:51.960
I'll ask a Swadeshi to help
with foreign liquor permit?

29:52.120 --> 29:54.080
Did you speak with Bose?

29:54.280 --> 29:56.920
Do something! Dad will kill me!

29:57.000 --> 30:01.640
Man! This Bose, Ghosh, Ali,
even Jerry! They're all useless!

30:02.600 --> 30:05.440
And who is this bloody Sinha
who no one knows of?

30:26.640 --> 30:27.960
Okay.

30:51.920 --> 30:53.240
Hmm, hello?

30:53.320 --> 30:55.400
Sir, Mr. Neotia had called.

30:56.360 --> 30:59.040
He was trying to pressurise us,
I brushed him aside.

30:59.280 --> 31:00.480
Okay.

31:22.480 --> 31:23.600
To the right.

31:23.720 --> 31:25.920
-Are there more?

31:26.640 --> 31:28.160
Come on, guys.

31:28.560 --> 31:29.920
Careful.

31:32.560 --> 31:34.040
Hold it over there.

31:38.120 --> 31:39.800
Let's carry these in.

31:41.800 --> 31:43.760
This one. Take it.

31:43.800 --> 31:45.360
Watch it.
-Careful.

31:45.560 --> 31:46.720
Da gama’s car?

31:46.760 --> 31:48.240
No, sir. It's my car.

31:48.360 --> 31:50.600
-Hmm. Why don't you get it painted?

31:50.680 --> 31:53.480
What are you saying, sir?
It's just a goods vehicle.

31:55.440 --> 31:57.000
-Shall I help?
-Huh?

31:57.120 --> 31:59.480
I'll get it done. Full technicolor.

32:00.360 --> 32:02.480
-Rent it out for the eve?
-Huh?

32:03.040 --> 32:04.360
-Rent?
-Hmm.

32:06.440 --> 32:08.080
Keep it. Take it!

32:10.040 --> 32:11.400
Take those.

32:12.040 --> 32:13.120
Here.

32:13.680 --> 32:16.240
Hey, hurry up! Unload the goods!

32:16.360 --> 32:18.200
-Michael?
-Yes, sir?

32:18.400 --> 32:20.320
Make a call to Shohaib's paint shop.

32:21.800 --> 32:24.840
Seven times ten

32:26.760 --> 32:30.120
Seven lives too less

32:31.840 --> 32:35.200
Seven might get lucky, baby

32:37.000 --> 32:40.240
We are gonna be the best

32:42.280 --> 32:45.040
Happy happy happy happy happy night!

32:47.040 --> 32:50.600
Happy days are like stage fright

32:51.560 --> 32:54.000
Happiness is one dance away

32:54.080 --> 32:56.600
Cmon Mr Naidu, give it away

32:57.880 --> 32:59.800
The winter's warmin' up

33:00.440 --> 33:02.600
Cmon, fill up your cup

33:02.800 --> 33:06.200
A little bebop,
a little bebop tonight

33:07.800 --> 33:10.040
Shimmy shimmy shimmy...

33:15.400 --> 33:17.280
-Finally you come!

33:17.480 --> 33:21.000
-Last day of the year.
Park street is shining!

33:21.880 --> 33:23.920
That’s for the public, not you.

33:24.120 --> 33:26.840
These parties are for
the fun & frolic-alcoholic public.

33:27.040 --> 33:29.880
-Whereas we're just public...
-servants.

33:30.040 --> 33:30.960
-Let's go.
-Yes.

33:31.000 --> 33:32.320
Better hurry up.

33:33.320 --> 33:34.400
-Come.

33:35.960 --> 33:37.880
Cmon, fill up your cup

33:38.360 --> 33:42.400
A little bebop,
a little bebop tonight

33:43.320 --> 33:45.960
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy...

33:45.960 --> 33:48.480
My baby blue

33:48.720 --> 33:50.760
-Soft drinks, sir.
-What! Soft drinks?

33:53.680 --> 33:56.840
Seven times ten

33:57.040 --> 33:58.600
Hey!

33:58.720 --> 34:01.400
Seven lives too less

34:12.880 --> 34:14.280
Want to taste it?

34:14.560 --> 34:15.920
I'm off meat today.

34:18.680 --> 34:21.640
No one has anything.
They all must've come here drunk.

34:21.800 --> 34:24.000
-I'll search that side.
-Go on.

34:32.600 --> 34:33.960
Hey! Come on!

34:34.120 --> 34:35.880
Mr. Prabir! No, no!

34:36.040 --> 34:38.400
Mr. Dutta, don't take it inside!

34:39.320 --> 34:41.360
-Hey, those--
-Mr. Roy?

34:42.960 --> 34:46.400
I see that you've a secret
booze party going on here!

34:46.480 --> 34:48.800
Don't be a spoilsport, please.

34:48.880 --> 34:50.880
It's the end of the year, come...

34:51.400 --> 34:52.640
Lovely!

34:53.360 --> 34:57.640
A single sip can ruin a whole year
of good deeds, Mr. Roy.

34:57.720 --> 34:59.560
No, Mr. Sinha, no...

35:01.040 --> 35:02.600
It's the end of the year!

35:03.720 --> 35:05.440
Ten, nine...

35:05.520 --> 35:06.600
-Relax! Relax!

35:07.320 --> 35:08.680
Seven...

35:08.840 --> 35:10.720
-Six, five...
-Hey, listen...

35:11.320 --> 35:13.360
Four, three...

35:13.560 --> 35:15.600
Two, one!

35:15.680 --> 35:17.280
Happy New Year!

35:23.000 --> 35:24.680
Who turned off the light?

35:25.280 --> 35:26.280
Sir?

35:35.560 --> 35:36.760
Enough.

35:37.360 --> 35:39.280
I am... I'm really sorry.

35:40.240 --> 35:41.440
Apologies.

35:41.720 --> 35:45.160
I didn't do it intentionally...
Um, it happened by mistake.

35:46.440 --> 35:48.680
No one messes with the police!

35:48.720 --> 35:50.400
But look at you!

35:54.600 --> 35:56.440
You know what's the law?

35:56.560 --> 35:57.640
What?

35:57.960 --> 35:59.320
Shoot at sight.

35:59.400 --> 36:00.680
Shoo... Shoo?

36:02.680 --> 36:04.640
Not shoo, shoot at sight!

36:07.800 --> 36:09.600
Can I make a call?

36:10.160 --> 36:11.160
-Please.

36:14.040 --> 36:16.840
-Hello?
-Yes... has Dad had dinner?

36:17.360 --> 36:18.920
-Yes, he did.

36:19.440 --> 36:20.480
When are you returning?

36:20.560 --> 36:22.080
-Hmm, listen...

36:23.520 --> 36:25.160
I won't return tonight.

36:25.360 --> 36:26.920
I have work at the club.

36:27.000 --> 36:28.080
-I see.

36:28.440 --> 36:30.400
-You and Dad can go to sleep.

36:30.440 --> 36:32.720
-Okay.
-Hmm. And lock the door.

36:33.080 --> 36:35.040
Yes, I will. Bye.

36:36.840 --> 36:44.240
As the lamp's light dims

36:44.240 --> 36:49.280
My hands reach out, up in the sky

36:49.880 --> 36:52.520
Whom do I yearn to touch?

36:59.000 --> 37:00.120
Open it.

37:02.160 --> 37:03.840
By mistake...

37:11.440 --> 37:12.720
-Das...

37:17.680 --> 37:19.040
Be gentle...

37:19.120 --> 37:25.040
When I wake up in the morning, I see

37:40.640 --> 37:43.480
They put a lock & a notice
on the gate.

37:45.360 --> 37:46.960
It's okay.

37:49.080 --> 37:50.920
Should we let Neotia sir know?

37:51.000 --> 37:52.280
Oh, no.

37:53.320 --> 37:54.920
You know where my lawyer stays?

37:55.040 --> 37:56.200
-No.

37:56.960 --> 37:58.000
Write it down.

38:03.080 --> 38:05.040
-22, Rajani Sen Road...

38:07.160 --> 38:08.600
-Move.

38:09.120 --> 38:10.280
You've been bailed out.

38:10.400 --> 38:11.840
-Who?
-You!

38:12.320 --> 38:13.720
-Who got me bail?
-I don't know.

38:15.360 --> 38:16.400
Come.

38:17.040 --> 38:18.040
-Easy.

38:37.240 --> 38:38.960
-Who got me bail?
-He did.

38:41.280 --> 38:42.560
Take these.

39:02.720 --> 39:05.480
Open up on the side,
and see if the customers show up.

39:05.560 --> 39:07.080
-No drinks.
-Of course.

39:07.160 --> 39:10.240
Should I try mixing it
with coconut water or honey?

39:14.080 --> 39:15.520
-What?
-Let's go.

39:24.760 --> 39:26.160
Excise officer huh?

39:26.360 --> 39:27.600
-Hmm.

39:27.960 --> 39:29.160
Slept well?

39:30.560 --> 39:32.480
The reason behind this favour?

39:33.960 --> 39:36.240
The beginning of a friendship,
Mr. Jimmy.

39:38.400 --> 39:40.560
I am on your side, don't worry.

39:42.240 --> 39:43.720
What do you want, Mr. Sinha?

39:45.000 --> 39:46.840
-To the point! Very good!

39:49.320 --> 39:51.240
This favour I've done for you...

39:51.320 --> 39:52.240
-Hmm.

39:53.880 --> 39:57.840
In return, you have to
do me a small favor as well.

40:01.520 --> 40:03.800
Is this how you usually ask
for favors?

40:04.000 --> 40:05.120
No.

40:05.560 --> 40:07.600
I get guaranteed favors this way.

40:13.760 --> 40:15.320
You must've pissed him off.

40:15.400 --> 40:17.040
I don't even know him!

40:18.040 --> 40:21.160
He ruined the biggest night
of my career!

40:21.680 --> 40:24.800
For what?
For some piece of land by the river!

40:31.240 --> 40:35.840
-Ray Bahadur Shib Narayan Ray,
is a 72-year-old seasoned landlord.

40:39.320 --> 40:42.800
He is stubborn, moody
and very ill-tempered.

40:47.000 --> 40:48.960
He has a small strip of land.

40:50.480 --> 40:52.400
I have tried to buy it from him.

40:53.680 --> 40:54.840
Failed.

40:58.400 --> 41:00.480
I’m sure with your talents...

41:01.080 --> 41:02.760
you will succeed.

41:08.680 --> 41:12.200
If he likes you,
he'll give it to you just like that.

41:12.400 --> 41:15.080
But if he doesn't...

41:17.480 --> 41:21.200
-If he doesn't, use force.
You sure know how to.

41:23.360 --> 41:25.480
Didn't we agree on not wasting time?

41:25.560 --> 41:26.720
Right.

41:28.320 --> 41:30.240
We don’t engage
in illegal activities.

41:30.920 --> 41:33.560
And we believe,
with you by our side,

41:33.760 --> 41:36.200
we won't need to do
anything illegal.

41:36.440 --> 41:38.720
Please Ray Bahadur,

41:38.880 --> 41:43.080
do me the favour,
get hold of the land's deed,

41:43.280 --> 41:45.360
and you can have your license.

41:46.480 --> 41:47.720
-Good morning, sir.

41:49.440 --> 41:51.080
Go, bring the sherbet.

41:51.160 --> 41:52.720
-No, it's okay, thank you.

41:52.760 --> 41:54.000
-It’s for me.

41:54.240 --> 41:55.360
Take that.

42:00.120 --> 42:03.560
Humans bore me easily.
Especially, the humans of Calcutta.

42:04.520 --> 42:06.200
Are you entertaining, young man?

42:06.400 --> 42:08.400
Well, my work is entertaining, sir.

42:08.480 --> 42:11.600
I’m Jimmy Roy. I run a cultural club
near Park Street.

42:11.720 --> 42:15.040
Club, I see. But what exactly
do you mean by culture?

42:15.240 --> 42:18.320
Well, it’s a club for gentlemen
who like finer things in life.

42:18.440 --> 42:20.360
We mainly play jazz.

42:21.840 --> 42:25.880
But I have come here today
with some other request, sir.

42:26.040 --> 42:27.440
I’m all ears.

42:28.480 --> 42:33.400
Sir, you see, I've always wanted to
open an orphanage.

42:35.080 --> 42:37.240
But not in that concrete jungle
of a city.

42:37.360 --> 42:41.480
Something in the lap of nature.
And within my means.

42:42.760 --> 42:46.680
-Value & price are different things.
-Right.

42:46.720 --> 42:49.800
The true value of a land
is not its market price,

42:49.960 --> 42:52.120
it depends on
what the land is being used for.

42:52.280 --> 42:54.720
Exactly!
That is why I have come to you.

42:54.800 --> 42:55.880
Well...

42:56.040 --> 42:57.720
Behind your estate...

42:57.760 --> 43:01.040
I mean the piece of land located
on the southeast of the river.

43:01.120 --> 43:04.080
Well, it's lying empty anyway...

43:04.160 --> 43:07.200
Yes, because I have kept it so.

43:07.400 --> 43:09.600
Sir, I just feel
it's just perfect for children.

43:09.680 --> 43:11.000
I mean... um...

43:11.080 --> 43:14.520
open grounds, greenery,
by the river...

43:15.800 --> 43:16.800
True.

43:17.320 --> 43:19.520
I can grant you that land.

43:19.640 --> 43:21.080
I'll be ever grateful, sir.

43:21.280 --> 43:23.840
But I will not, young man.

43:23.920 --> 43:25.040
Huh?

43:26.360 --> 43:27.760
Think I am a fool?

43:27.880 --> 43:30.760
Oh, not at all. Of course not.

43:31.160 --> 43:32.760
Sir, just imagine,

43:32.840 --> 43:37.080
your little grand kids playing
under the twilight sun.

43:37.160 --> 43:39.160
Their laughter,
their spirit, their joy!

43:39.280 --> 43:44.160
You'll take them to see the Victoria
Memorial in that imported car?

43:44.360 --> 43:47.800
The Yardley permeating off
your ears...

43:47.960 --> 43:51.480
will shape the lives
of these orphaned kids?

43:51.560 --> 43:52.720
-No...
-Right?

43:52.760 --> 43:54.560
-No, sir...
-And then?

43:54.760 --> 43:57.520
Once the kids get adopted,
your road is clear.

43:57.640 --> 44:00.120
The orphanage will turn into
a river-facing hotel!

44:00.240 --> 44:02.720
You misunderstand, sir.
Please, just...

44:02.800 --> 44:04.760
Thank you for today's entertainment.

44:04.920 --> 44:07.240
Sir, listen to my offer once...

44:07.320 --> 44:08.520
-Offer?

44:08.800 --> 44:10.960
You mean money?
-Money, yes...

44:11.520 --> 44:13.400
-Come with me.
-Sure.

44:14.760 --> 44:16.600
-Jahangir’s ring...

44:17.280 --> 44:20.880
This gramophone is from
the first lot in Germany.

44:21.800 --> 44:23.760
Just after the first war...

44:23.920 --> 44:25.040
-Hmm...

44:26.640 --> 44:28.000
-Abanindranath,

44:29.320 --> 44:30.960
-Picasso...
-Pablo?

44:31.120 --> 44:32.960
-Gauhar Jaan’s first 78,

44:34.760 --> 44:37.680
Faiyaz Khan’s gold disc!

44:39.320 --> 44:42.000
The complete Zayida repertoire!

44:43.720 --> 44:45.840
Every single LP!

44:50.280 --> 44:53.680
I first heard Zayida
many moons back.

44:54.400 --> 44:56.960
Much before the so-called
taste makers of Calcutta

44:56.960 --> 44:58.200
even heard her name!

44:58.320 --> 44:59.680
-Hmm.

45:01.680 --> 45:03.040
In my childhood,

45:03.880 --> 45:05.560
at Rampur Palace,

45:07.360 --> 45:13.120
she came on stage to perform
just before Allauddin Khan sahib!

45:19.720 --> 45:22.520
It’s useless to impart
my pearls of wisdom to you.

45:23.280 --> 45:25.360
Your hair & clothes indicate that

45:25.440 --> 45:28.720
your taste begins and ends
with Shammi Kapoor.

45:29.600 --> 45:32.120
Sir, believe me...
I'm eager to learn.

45:32.240 --> 45:35.720
But I need someone to
introduce me to great taste too.

45:35.880 --> 45:37.840
Sir, if you could lend
some of your LPs...

45:37.920 --> 45:41.000
I value them more than
a piece of land, Mr. Orphanage!

45:41.040 --> 45:42.160
Well, sure.

45:42.760 --> 45:44.720
-Definitely.
-(laughing)

45:45.280 --> 45:46.800
I feel like laughing at you,

45:47.840 --> 45:49.680
but more importantly I am sleepy.

45:51.400 --> 45:52.400
Ananta...

45:53.560 --> 45:55.440
-Ananta!
-Coming, sir...

45:56.440 --> 45:57.600
See him out.

45:57.720 --> 45:59.040
Sir... sir...

46:02.120 --> 46:03.360
Come.

46:34.720 --> 46:36.680
-Happy new year, Jimmy!

46:44.200 --> 46:46.600
Here, a love letter for you!

46:48.360 --> 46:49.440
From?

46:49.520 --> 46:53.360
-Joseph. He’s changed his footpath
and his job.

46:53.920 --> 46:58.320
With endless customers at the club,
poor thing doesn't have any time!

46:58.760 --> 47:00.040
Look, Jimmy.

47:00.160 --> 47:03.920
You came knocking on my door
after fleeing one country.

47:04.240 --> 47:08.440
Now if the doors of Park Street
shut on you, where will you run to?

47:08.560 --> 47:09.520
Huh?

47:09.680 --> 47:12.040
(tense music)

47:12.240 --> 47:15.520
Ask your band to sing some
devotional songs or something.

47:16.040 --> 47:18.920
You should... sell the trumpet.

47:19.600 --> 47:21.400
And buy a tanpura.

47:21.920 --> 47:23.480
It’ll suit this place.

47:40.800 --> 47:44.160
(upbeat, energetic music)

48:00.720 --> 48:02.160
-Hello.
-Come.

48:06.160 --> 48:07.760
What brings you to my shop?

48:07.840 --> 48:09.760
Considering a sitar
for your jazz band?

48:09.840 --> 48:12.600
If Harrison can,
why can’t Jazz City?

48:13.400 --> 48:17.080
-Hmm. Well, what shall I show you?
-Uh, a tanpura. The finest one.

48:20.560 --> 48:21.720
-Pass me that one.

48:24.480 --> 48:25.680
See.

48:28.480 --> 48:31.240
Is this like... the best?

48:31.440 --> 48:34.680
I mean, what the maestros use.

48:34.880 --> 48:36.760
Music is not fashion.

48:36.800 --> 48:37.720
Of course not.

48:37.800 --> 48:39.040
-Wait.

48:39.240 --> 48:42.120
You have the ear
for a maestro’s music?

48:42.720 --> 48:44.720
You just mentioned Harrison, right?

48:44.880 --> 48:47.120
This is where Ravi da
got him his sitar from.

48:47.240 --> 48:49.280
-Oh, really?
-Not only that...

48:49.480 --> 48:52.680
Faiyaz Khan, Zayida Begum,
Ali Akbar Khan...

48:52.720 --> 48:55.520
Zayida Begum gets her instruments
from here? Really?

49:13.800 --> 49:14.800
Listen...

49:14.840 --> 49:19.040
"Hemen da, my heartfelt gratitude
for this priceless tanpura."

49:19.200 --> 49:22.400
-Wow.
-"This will remain with me forever.

49:22.560 --> 49:25.760
May Allah grace your craftsmanship
with His blessings.

49:26.040 --> 49:28.720
Zayida Begum, 17, Assi Ghat,

49:28.920 --> 49:31.520
Ganesh Mohalla, Malviya Nagar,

49:31.800 --> 49:32.800
Benaras."

49:55.920 --> 49:56.920
-What is this?

49:58.320 --> 49:59.720
Who are you, son?

50:00.600 --> 50:03.360
I have grown up
listening to your voice, ma'am.

50:03.440 --> 50:05.040
-It’s all Allah’s gift.

50:05.120 --> 50:07.440
What’s a performer
without the listener?

50:07.520 --> 50:08.640
-Absolutely.

50:08.760 --> 50:11.720
Where are you from? You don't
seem to be from Benaras...

50:11.800 --> 50:14.440
This son of yours also comes
from the banks of Ganges.

50:14.520 --> 50:18.080
Um, I’ve come here
with a small request.

50:18.720 --> 50:19.960
Please don't refuse me.

50:24.360 --> 50:27.360
(faint singing)

50:55.840 --> 51:02.240
As I lose my sleep

51:02.240 --> 51:07.080
As I cry on my own

51:07.160 --> 51:09.160
-Begum sahiba?

51:11.840 --> 51:15.720
-I thought I would never leave
Kashi again, Shivnarayan ji.

51:15.920 --> 51:19.920
But your son’s will defeated mine.

51:26.240 --> 51:28.960
I cannot believe my luck!

51:29.120 --> 51:32.480
-A man whose child
regards him with such devotion,

51:32.560 --> 51:36.040
surely is lucky.
How is your health now?

51:36.160 --> 51:38.480
I am cured of all ailments now!

51:39.400 --> 51:41.120
Come in. Please...

51:42.600 --> 51:45.960
Come.
The first time I had heard you...

51:55.280 --> 51:56.960
What did I tell you, sir?

51:58.320 --> 51:59.360
-Hmm.

52:00.720 --> 52:02.200
You’ve got an eye, haven’t you.

52:05.360 --> 52:07.040
He did it before the others.

52:07.840 --> 52:09.160
-We have no other way, sir.

52:11.280 --> 52:15.160
This is our only option to secretly
send help across the border.

52:16.280 --> 52:18.760
The British made
a tunnel under the river.

52:18.960 --> 52:21.880
It once carried electricity,
now it will carry revolution!

52:23.840 --> 52:25.080
-But, why him?

52:25.640 --> 52:28.360
Jimmy leaps like a horse
on a chessboard.

52:28.640 --> 52:30.600
He won't take the straight path.

52:32.000 --> 52:35.960
While others follow linear rules...

52:36.560 --> 52:40.760
he'll leap across every radar
without anyone noticing.

52:42.920 --> 52:46.080
He has the stubbornness
of a child who has lost his toy.

52:46.240 --> 52:50.080
Or, you could say, he has
the violated ego of a prince.

52:57.320 --> 52:58.600
And of course...

52:59.160 --> 53:01.640
the fire of a refugee's
self-respect.

53:02.640 --> 53:03.920
That burns bright!

53:05.360 --> 53:09.640
Where will you find such fire
in our 9 to 5 government employees?

53:12.920 --> 53:14.680
If he gets caught,

53:16.240 --> 53:18.760
he will be bruised, he will bleed.

53:19.000 --> 53:20.280
Not us.

53:21.000 --> 53:23.440
He is dispensable.

53:24.160 --> 53:27.360
But I don't know why
my intuition says

53:28.160 --> 53:32.920
that this horse may win us
the king's game.

53:37.280 --> 53:38.200
Hm, I see.

53:38.200 --> 53:41.000
City of jazz

53:41.560 --> 53:44.000
City that moans

53:45.520 --> 53:47.160
But find those three boys

53:49.520 --> 53:51.080
He maybe dispensable

53:51.480 --> 53:52.680
they are not.

53:55.040 --> 53:57.400
The city of lights

53:58.520 --> 54:01.480
Sings in the dark

54:02.040 --> 54:04.920
And then takes flight
