00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.560 align:center
Since 1947

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:01.120 align:center
Till 1971

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.120 align:center
“Bangla” was a language

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.880 align:center
Since then, it’s been a nation.

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:11.320 align:center
But this is not merely a record of maps

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:13.880 align:center
but the story of a nobody

00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:17.400 align:center
who found the courage
to become a somebody.

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.040 align:center
And it all began

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.640 align:center
right here, right now.

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:44.320 align:center
They're here!

00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.200 align:center
-They must be out of bullets.
Shall we charge now?

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:25.560 align:center
-One is still left.

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:32.840 align:center
The hospital is 10 miles away,
Professor...

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.160 align:center
You can prevent gangrene
if we take you there in the jeep.

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:37.320 align:center
-Run!

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.800 align:center
-We can't leave you behind, sir!

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:42.640 align:center
-I am surrendering.

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.040 align:center
-No, sir...
-It'll buy you to time to escape!

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.600 align:center
Well done, Bengali!

00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:52.800 align:center
I just want those three kids,
Professor!

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.560 align:center
Go!

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.040 align:center
Careful!

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:04.520 align:center
Go!

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:07.320 align:center
Go into hiding!

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:19.080 align:center
Go! Run! I want them alive!

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.080 align:center
(bomb explodes)

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.400 align:center
-Sir!
-Oh! Welcome back, Tapan!

00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:07.280 align:center
Sit.

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.200 align:center
Just a minute, sir.

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:14.640 align:center
Breakfast?

00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:15.920 align:center
-Sure, sir.

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:32.240 align:center
The unused cartridges from Vietnam
are now being used against Bengalis.

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:37.640 align:center
Talk to Srivastav,
settle the accounts.

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.160 align:center
-Join back on the 1st.
-Okay, sir.

00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:44.000 align:center
-Sit...

00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.880 align:center
Sir.

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.800 align:center
They haven’t found those boys yet.

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.840 align:center
-Which means...
-Which means...

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.840 align:center
as and when they do,
they will make them say that

00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:13.120 align:center
top East Pakistan leader
had asked for our help

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.640 align:center
to take down the eastern military
three years ago.

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.360 align:center
They are the only witnesses
of that meeting.

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.200 align:center
If caught...

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.920 align:center
Mujib's electoral future is over.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.720 align:center
They are our assets now.

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.760 align:center
We’ve been screaming
from Islamabad...

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.400 align:center
“We are brothers!"

00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:23.160 align:center
Why do you want freedom?

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:26.520 align:center
Bangla...

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:29.200 align:center
in our Ajan,

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.720 align:center
in our songs,

00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:35.240 align:center
in our blood...

00:06:37.640 --> 00:06:39.760 align:center
in our breaths!

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.880 align:center
No one will be able to hold us down!

00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:49.760 align:center
Then decide...

00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:53.880 align:center
Bengali or Muslim?

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.760 align:center
Both.

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.600 align:center
Joy--

00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:06.920 align:center
Tensions are mounting up, sir.

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.640 align:center
Shouldn’t we do something?

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.080 align:center
The ISI have a 20-year head start
on us, Colonel.

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.400 align:center
Hence, plainclothes defenders
of the nation are important.

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.040 align:center
-I agree, sir.

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.720 align:center
Servicemen like Tapan
are our best bet.

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.160 align:center
But do you really need to
get this civilian-hiring

00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.600 align:center
Ian Fleming business
you’ve approved?

00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:31.760 align:center
We need to find the students.

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.360 align:center
Protect them and us,
from headlines such as

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.920 align:center
“Witnesses testify
to the Mujib Agartala Conspiracy!”

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:43.560 align:center
And help Mujib realize his victory
through the democratic process.

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.200 align:center
You really think
the West Pakistan establishment...

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.080 align:center
Yahya, Bhutto...

00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:50.800 align:center
they will allow
free & fair elections in the East?

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.920 align:center
Maybe not.

00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:56.600 align:center
But we must not do anything
that makes India’s support evident.

00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:02.200 align:center
So the Pak army
will keep spreading terror there

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.320 align:center
and we'll just sit quiet...

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:06.280 align:center
You're not listening carefully,
Colonel.

00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:07.600 align:center
-Sir?

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.280 align:center
Help them.

00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.000 align:center
But don’t leave any evidence.

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.920 align:center
These three young lads...

00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:28.560 align:center
are being chased
by the Pakistani army's gunshots.

00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:31.800 align:center
Running and thinking...

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.360 align:center
"Why the hell did Mom and Dad
think up a fairy tale

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.760 align:center
where a nation armed with religion
could be their paradise..."

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:44.880 align:center
Epic fail.

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.480 align:center
Now, West Punjabi Islamists

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.800 align:center
those self important clowns
in uniforms...

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:00.200 align:center
they want to stomp Bengali language,
music & culture to dust.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.040 align:center
Religion alone can't build
a nation, my friend.

00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:08.640 align:center
It needs the dusty soil,
the pull of language,

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:11.440 align:center
and bloodcurdling screams
of liberation.

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:17.880 align:center
And now, where are the children of
those who chose Pakistan running to?

00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:20.200 align:center
To India.

00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.240 align:center
To the doors
of Calcutta's Bengalis.

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.280 align:center
They, who'll greet their brothers
with open arms

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.320 align:center
even though their own pockets
are torn,

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.840 align:center
their streets are lined
with garbage...

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:39.360 align:center
There's no other way, brother.
Ties of language, are ties of blood.

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.480 align:center
This story is of such
a forgotten half-mad vagrant.

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:50.760 align:center
This is a story of an unperturbed
king of a night club,

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.000 align:center
still unaware

00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.040 align:center
that amidst Park Street's
dazzling lights & Jazz melodies,

00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.840 align:center
the song of freedom shall rise.

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:06.320 align:center
The song that will break Pakistan
in half.

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.280 align:center
-Hello, sir.

00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:10.000 align:center
And its roar will give birth...

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.560 align:center
to a new nation.

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.360 align:center
The song that will bear
India's greatest win forever.

00:10:19.880 --> 00:10:22.960 align:center
Here, in the City of Joy.

00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:37.120 align:center
From your lips on the embouche

00:10:37.400 --> 00:10:40.520 align:center
Pour the jazz into me

00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.120 align:center
With the red moon rising

00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:48.440 align:center
Tell me where I should be

00:10:48.520 --> 00:10:51.080 align:center
Pull over my soul

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.920 align:center
Cover me in your song

00:10:56.520 --> 00:10:58.680 align:center
Kiss me through the blood

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.320 align:center
-How are you, Jimmy sir?

00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:25.840 align:center
-How are you?
-Good.

00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:28.640 align:center
Is sir inside?

00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:29.880 align:center
-Hmm.
-Let's go.

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:41.840 align:center
-Damn it!
-Who is it?

00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:43.200 align:center
-Cockroach, sir! Wait!

00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:48.800 align:center
-Why don't you call pest control?

00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:53.840 align:center
-Is it that easy to control them?

00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:57.120 align:center
Who can tell
when pets will turn into pests?

00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.680 align:center
You never know!

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:03.600 align:center
Do come.

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:04.960 align:center
Where?

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:08.800 align:center
Please. The club doors
will always be open for you.

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.200 align:center
When the doors shut on me,

00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:15.680 align:center
I know how to kick them open!

00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:22.280 align:center
You're a partner now, yet you keep
saying "Yes, sir. No, sir."

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:25.560 align:center
Once a servant, always a servant.

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:26.800 align:center
Please, sir.

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.680 align:center
All your old clients
& ex-girlfriends...

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.480 align:center
They keep asking about you.
They miss you.

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.680 align:center
"Where is Arora these days?
Is he alive?"

00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:39.040 align:center
At least come and meet them.

00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:41.760 align:center
Bye, sir.

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.760 align:center
(grand music)

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:01.840 align:center
-Hey, seen Parineeta?
-No I haven’t.

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:03.960 align:center
And frankly, don't want to also!
-Why?

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.760 align:center
-Cops are beating up students...

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.040 align:center
And here Bengalis are gloating in
Sarat Chandra’s sentimentality.

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:19.280 align:center
-What is going on!

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.760 align:center
The refugee influx is non-stop.

00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:23.840 align:center
It’s your country, you manage it.

00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:25.840 align:center
Why burden us?

00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:27.680 align:center
Mr. Agarwal,

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:30.400 align:center
let me give you an example.

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:35.200 align:center
In 1947, there were
four jute mills in East Pakistan.

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.320 align:center
And in the West...
there were 25 of those.

00:13:40.040 --> 00:13:46.000 align:center
23 years later, today, this number
here has gone up from four to five.

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.880 align:center
You know the number
on the other side?

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.240 align:center
350!

00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.280 align:center
The city of jazz

00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.480 align:center
The city that moans

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.480 align:center
These youngsters can't afford
your wine list.

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:08.760 align:center
Why do they come here? To sniff?

00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:11.200 align:center
Hope they don’t make trouble.

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.120 align:center
They won't, sir.
They come here for Pamela.

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.680 align:center
Still on your first drink?

00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:18.320 align:center
-Please attend them properly.
-Okay, sir.

00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:21.080 align:center
-How long will you nurse this peg?
-Mr. Jamini Roy?

00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:22.360 align:center
-Huh?

00:14:22.520 --> 00:14:23.800 align:center
Jimmy. Jimmy Roy.

00:14:24.760 --> 00:14:28.800 align:center
But our records say Jamini Roy.

00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:31.800 align:center
Record? Which record?

00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.760 align:center
Excise department, I'm Sinha.

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.760 align:center
-Ah.
-There’s been a small problem.

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.520 align:center
-Whose problem?
-Uh...

00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.960 align:center
Tonight, after 12 a.m.,
Jazz City’s liquor permit expires.

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.600 align:center
What! How?

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.600 align:center
Sorry, are you joking?

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.840 align:center
Joke? Oh, because I’m smiling?
No, I am the jolly type...

00:14:52.040 --> 00:14:53.320 align:center
I'm dead serious.

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.760 align:center
-Let me get you a drink, lemonade?
-No, it's fine.

00:14:57.920 --> 00:14:59.080 align:center
One lemonade!

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:00.400 align:center
Come.

00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:05.960 align:center
Mr...

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.400 align:center
-Sinha.
-Sinha! Right!

00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:10.840 align:center
See. Tomorrow's New Year’s Eve.
Can we settle this day after?

00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:13.440 align:center
You’ll receive a proper application
on your desk.

00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:17.320 align:center
Even an improper application
on time would've saved you.

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.440 align:center
Ugh! It just slipped my mind!

00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:22.560 align:center
Seriously. I was thinking about it
yesterday. But, you know...

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.720 align:center
I have been so busy
with this New Year event.

00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.880 align:center
The 70s are coming.

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.360 align:center
I mean the Mayor, lawyers,
politicians,

00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:30.240 align:center
you name it, everyone's coming.

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.000 align:center
That's what I'm saying...

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.200 align:center
Shouldn’t you have renewed
your permit before all this?

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:37.640 align:center
You're right.

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:39.920 align:center
You're right, my bad.

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.360 align:center
Honest mistake.

00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.960 align:center
Let tomorrow’s party happen.

00:15:43.400 --> 00:15:45.920 align:center
In fact why don’t you come down
with ma'am tomorrow?

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.120 align:center
Or you can come alone.
Uh, I can book the front table.

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.680 align:center
No. It’ll be a dry
New Year’s eve for me.

00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.120 align:center
You are the one celebrating.

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:56.520 align:center
Uh, excuse me?

00:15:56.920 --> 00:15:57.800 align:center
Sir...

00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.480 align:center
It's about our reputation.

00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:02.960 align:center
And what about
our department's reputation?

00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:04.200 align:center
Jimmy!

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.400 align:center
You have been ignoring me
all this time, Jimmy.

00:16:07.400 --> 00:16:10.200 align:center
Darling, that’s such a lie!
You know that.

00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:12.680 align:center
Let me introduce you...
my good friend, Mr. Sinha.

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.760 align:center
-Hello.
-Oindrilla, uh, Lily Banerjee.

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.000 align:center
Mayor Sudhir Banerjee’s
only daughter.

00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:18.560 align:center
-Hello.
-And Lily...

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:21.200 align:center
He refuses to believe
that our cassata

00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:22.840 align:center
is one of the best in the city.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.720 align:center
-Believe it?
-It is!

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.560 align:center
But I am waiting
for that champagne tower. Okay?

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.520 align:center
-Only seen it in Hollywood movies.
-Jimmy!

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.080 align:center
Ah! Mr. Patnaik... All well?

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.560 align:center
Yes, all well. Well, Jimmy...

00:16:35.640 --> 00:16:40.080 align:center
I’m specially flying the CEO in
for you tomorrow.

00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.360 align:center
That's brilliant!

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.440 align:center
Hey! Mr. Kaul! It's been a while!

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.680 align:center
-Mr. Kaul, what are you doing here?
Are the tea gardens covered in ice?

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.520 align:center
No ice in the tea gardens,
nor in my glass.

00:16:52.640 --> 00:16:54.480 align:center
Oh, ice! Chandu!

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.000 align:center
Expect the ice to go into
just cold drinks this time.

00:16:59.400 --> 00:17:00.640 align:center
Why?

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:02.000 align:center
I didn’t get the joke.

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.040 align:center
Not a joke, a riddle. Excuse me.

00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:06.960 align:center
Please enjoy the drink.
Lily, I'll see you.

00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:09.120 align:center
Um, Mr. Sinha, please come...

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.600 align:center
Move...

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.600 align:center
Out.

00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:22.480 align:center
Aha!

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.040 align:center
So tell me,
what do I have to do now?

00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:29.800 align:center
Not much,
just put up a sign outside:

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.560 align:center
‘No liquor served
until further notice.'

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.600 align:center
-Sir.
-Or 'Closed until further notice.'

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:36.960 align:center
-Choice is yours.
-Oh, come on...

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:38.760 align:center
Why don't you take a drink too?

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.640 align:center
Someone get some lime soda for sir.

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.200 align:center
Sweet or salty is his choice.

00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:46.000 align:center
-You want something, sir?

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:49.840 align:center
-How can I...
-Yum!

00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:51.720 align:center
-I better go.
-Huh...

00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:53.520 align:center
Remember, 12 a.m.

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.680 align:center
-Hmm.
-Bye.

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.840 align:center
-Bye.

00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:13.280 align:center
Thank you, my lovelies!

00:18:14.360 --> 00:18:18.000 align:center
Now a special kiss
flies out to you, Mr. Marya!

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.800 align:center
Ladies and gentleman,
our guest from Bangalore.

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.200 align:center
-Whose exciting new brand of beer...
-Excuse me.

00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:26.280 align:center
What is it?

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.040 align:center
Goodness, man, were you
looking at me while scribbling this?

00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:33.880 align:center
Nib’s all over the place!

00:18:36.760 --> 00:18:38.680 align:center
Hello? It's me.

00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:40.560 align:center
Cancel the permit.

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:42.880 align:center
Listen...

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.760 align:center
Someone came & told me
the liquor permit has expired.

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.240 align:center
-...better place
to launch Virginia...

00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.920 align:center
You have the whole day tomorrow.
Start making calls.

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:56.240 align:center
Uh, let me see...

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.440 align:center
There’s Sengupta
at Writer's Building.

00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:00.120 align:center
We'll figure it out.

00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:05.360 align:center
...and its special stone, Jazz City!

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.120 align:center
No renewal.

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.080 align:center
Until I say so.

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:11.640 align:center
Good.

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.480 align:center
The crowd has
a special shine today.

00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:18.800 align:center
Why don't you get hold of
that MLA from Alipore?

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.760 align:center
He’s been freeloading here everyday!

00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:22.840 align:center
Phew!

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.000 align:center
-Excuse me for a bit.

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.960 align:center
-Mr Pachu... how is it going?

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.160 align:center
-Well, alright.

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:35.760 align:center
Miss Sheela Bose!

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.440 align:center
Please, once more!

00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:45.640 align:center
One more song, please, ma'am!

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:46.760 align:center
So long!

00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:48.840 align:center
-Sheela Bose, one song from you!
Please!

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.840 align:center
-Please, Miss Bose, sing a song?
-One song...

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.160 align:center
Now, now, gentlemen, calm down!

00:19:56.320 --> 00:19:59.080 align:center
Sheela, sugar, you want to sing?

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.000 align:center
Done.

00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:04.960 align:center
She is our guest.
And normally, guest is god,

00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:07.480 align:center
but tonight the goddess
is our guest!

00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:09.800 align:center
-Go, Sheela!
-One song, please!

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.800 align:center
-Calm down!

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:16.960 align:center
So? You just zip it, okay?

00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:19.960 align:center
And keep your eyes on me!

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.680 align:center
Hit it, guys!

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:31.120 align:center
You follow my name

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.960 align:center
Let's sit down.

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.560 align:center
-How are you, Sheela?
-How are you, hello!

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.240 align:center
Bless you!

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:42.520 align:center
-Been a while.
-Ah, yes.

00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:44.360 align:center
Yes... How've you been?

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.720 align:center
Take care.

00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:47.000 align:center
Take care...

00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:50.600 align:center
Thank you.
-Thank you, ma'am.

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.280 align:center
Can you read my mind?

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:58.480 align:center
Hello, Jimmy Roy.

00:20:58.800 --> 00:20:59.800 align:center
Hello.

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:05.040 align:center
Marya called you Miss Bose...
Aren’t you Mrs. Chaterjee now?

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.120 align:center
No, I haven’t changed my surname.

00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:10.640 align:center
-Ah. For a second I thought maybe...

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.920 align:center
-Maybe?
-Nothing.

00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:17.720 align:center
So... been a while.

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.520 align:center
-Everyone misses you here.
-Then "everyone" could have called.

00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:22.800 align:center
Yeah...

00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:25.440 align:center
Are you very busy?

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.520 align:center
I try to do what I can.

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:30.880 align:center
-Hmm.
-You know how things are.

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:35.560 align:center
Trying my best to find employment
for the refugees.

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.360 align:center
Mr. Marya is helping.

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.920 align:center
Employment?

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.400 align:center
Employment opportunities
for the refugees, Jimmy.

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:45.680 align:center
-Yeah...
-Don’t be a prude.

00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:50.160 align:center
And you chose to meet Marya here?

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.360 align:center
He chose.

00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.440 align:center
I obliged.

00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:57.920 align:center
Let’s go, he’s waiting

00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:09.640 align:center
Fingers from nape,
to the small of my back

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.320 align:center
Don't lose the tempo

00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:19.360 align:center
-I almost forgot...

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.720 align:center
you both know each other.

00:22:21.760 --> 00:22:24.680 align:center
From your ... Snowfox days!

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:27.720 align:center
Old friends, Mr. Marya, old friends.

00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:31.840 align:center
-And look at Sheela ji now!
The work she is doing...

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.560 align:center
Absolutely remarkable!

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.160 align:center
Just Sheela, please.

00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:37.960 align:center
-How many people even care?

00:22:38.040 --> 00:22:40.720 align:center
Poor things escaping
to this side to survive.

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.640 align:center
Ah. Poor Pakistanis.

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.520 align:center
They don’t call themselves
Pakistanis.

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.200 align:center
Until a few years ago, they were
part of the great Indian family.

00:22:50.360 --> 00:22:54.720 align:center
-Hmm. But when the borders were
being drawn, everyone wanted...

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.760 align:center
a separate kitchen
in the joint family. Right?

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.320 align:center
They made a choice.
Point to be noted.

00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:02.920 align:center
-Since Pakistan is treating them
as stepsons now,

00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:05.640 align:center
they are seeking refuge
from Mother India.

00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:09.440 align:center
But, during Noakhali,
they were all just "Muslims". Huh?

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.640 align:center
Now suddenly everybody is Bengali?

00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:15.640 align:center
Jimmy, you remember Kaberi,
my sister?

00:23:15.800 --> 00:23:16.960 align:center
-Yeah.

00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:20.040 align:center
-I should forget her existence
across the border too?

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.480 align:center
-Right?
-Is she alright?

00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:23.880 align:center
You found Kaberi?

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:25.560 align:center
She’s completing her studies there.

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:26.560 align:center
-Oh.

00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:29.600 align:center
I saw her photo in the newspaper.

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.680 align:center
An article on
a student demonstration.

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.320 align:center
My husband knew
some journalists there.

00:23:33.360 --> 00:23:34.760 align:center
They helped us find her.

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.040 align:center
That’s great!

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.720 align:center
Um, met her?

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.360 align:center
-Hmm.
-So, now what? Get her here!

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.440 align:center
She used to sing, right?

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:42.480 align:center
-Hmm.

00:23:42.800 --> 00:23:45.560 align:center
The Pakistani government
will force her to speak Urdu there.

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.920 align:center
And here, you will make her
sing in English.

00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.440 align:center
What’s the difference?

00:23:49.560 --> 00:23:52.600 align:center
As if she's singing
Tagore & Nazrul’s songs there.

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.560 align:center
-It's all banned.
-And here? Everything is okay?

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.960 align:center
Any doubt?

00:23:57.800 --> 00:24:01.280 align:center
Didn’t the government put a ban
on Hindi film music some years ago?

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:05.160 align:center
Didn’t they say that the melodies
of those songs are westernized,

00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:08.600 align:center
that their lyrics have lots of
erotic, Urdu words?

00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:12.240 align:center
But who profited from that?

00:24:13.040 --> 00:24:15.520 align:center
Radio Ceylon Geetmala
cashed in on the opportunity.

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:17.520 align:center
Akashvani, naturally,
came under pressure.

00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:19.480 align:center
And Vividh Bharati was born.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.640 align:center
Brothers and sisters!
Eventually money talks!

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.560 align:center
You can change the subject, Jimmy,
but you can’t run from it.

00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:28.240 align:center
No one’s running, Sheela.

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.120 align:center
You used to sing in English too.

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:34.680 align:center
Of course, this blow-dried,
Brit sarcasm is a new addition.

00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:39.480 align:center
Have you heard of
the Martin Burn company, Mr. Marya?

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:43.520 align:center
-Hmm, the people who constructed
the Victoria Memorial...

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:46.720 align:center
-Yes. It was a partnership between

00:24:46.840 --> 00:24:49.200 align:center
Thomas Martin
and Sir Rajen Mookerjee.

00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:52.680 align:center
Thomas suggested, they call their
business Martin and Mookerjee.

00:24:52.760 --> 00:24:55.880 align:center
But, Sir Mookerjee actually refused.

00:24:56.080 --> 00:25:00.320 align:center
He knew European clients
would trust a Christian name.

00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:06.320 align:center
There is sentimental nostalgia
and then there is the real world.

00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:07.400 align:center
-Excuse me.

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.400 align:center
-I'll just be back.
-Sure.

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.560 align:center
-What was that?
Uh, maybe I shouldn't ask.

00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:19.200 align:center
Don't take a tiff
between old friends seriously.

00:25:19.800 --> 00:25:21.880 align:center
Anyway, I need some advice.

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.920 align:center
My liquor permit’s expired.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.480 align:center
And I need to renew it,
and I need to renew it right now!

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.040 align:center
A fast-track in this city?
You must be joking!

00:25:36.560 --> 00:25:42.240 align:center
Jimmy... I brought Virginia
to Calcutta on your word, man.

00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:45.960 align:center
Or else, you know,
investor sentiments...

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.280 align:center
I’ll get it, sir.
Don't worry, I'll get it.

00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:52.680 align:center
Why don't you ask Sir Boren?
He knows a lot of people.

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.440 align:center
-No...
-About what?

00:25:55.560 --> 00:25:58.000 align:center
Jimmy's lost his liquor permit.
Can your husband help?

00:25:58.040 --> 00:25:58.920 align:center
-Oh!

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:02.760 align:center
He’s in Delhi now. I’ll arrange
for a meeting when he returns

00:26:03.520 --> 00:26:06.360 align:center
in my new blow-dried English!

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:08.400 align:center
Meet him.

00:26:08.760 --> 00:26:10.600 align:center
Shall we go? I need to get home.

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:11.880 align:center
Of course.

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:14.240 align:center
Come, I'll see you home.

00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:16.240 align:center
-Come.
-Thank you.

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.800 align:center
-Sheela?
-Hmm?

00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:23.560 align:center
-I’m sorry.

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:29.800 align:center
Coming for tomorrow's party?
Everyone misses you a lot here.

00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:32.920 align:center
I’ll remember
that everyone misses me.

00:26:53.120 --> 00:26:54.440 align:center
Okay, guys...

00:26:55.360 --> 00:26:56.960 align:center
Dress rehearsal was successful,

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.720 align:center
it's the final match tomorrow.
Right?

00:26:58.840 --> 00:26:59.960 align:center
-Hmm...

00:27:01.040 --> 00:27:02.040 align:center
-Chef...

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.800 align:center
The caramelisation is excellent!

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.440 align:center
The prawn cocktail
can have little more chilly.

00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:09.040 align:center
Let them have the kick, man.

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.720 align:center
-Ya?
-Want to try adding more mustard?

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.840 align:center
No last moment changes
please, madam.

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:17.520 align:center
Go, get some good night’s sleep.

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.120 align:center
Come a bit early tomorrow.
Thank you.

00:27:19.280 --> 00:27:20.760 align:center
-I do that everyday.
-Ya!

00:27:24.040 --> 00:27:26.640 align:center
Queen of my dreams,
when will you come?

00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:29.240 align:center
You look after
your own beauty sleep, sugar!

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:30.960 align:center
Go on, get going.

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:32.800 align:center
Yes.

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.320 align:center
I have to handle a small issue,
then I’ll call it a day.

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:36.400 align:center
What issue?

00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:38.360 align:center
Nothing... Eat, will you!

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:40.120 align:center
About that liquor license?

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.680 align:center
-Ugh!
-I knew it!

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.680 align:center
I watched that man come
and hand you the papers.

00:27:44.840 --> 00:27:45.960 align:center
What paper?

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.720 align:center
Renewal notice.

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:50.240 align:center
It came a month back,
no one paid any heed.

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:53.000 align:center
-Damn!
-Stop complaining, Joseph!

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:55.240 align:center
Why didn’t you remind me
before the license expired?

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:56.960 align:center
-I had told you.
-What did I say?

00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:59.240 align:center
“Stop complaining, Joseph!”

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.720 align:center
Oh, okay.

00:28:02.040 --> 00:28:03.760 align:center
Can't you go for a deal?

00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:06.440 align:center
-No, man! He’s adamant!
-Oh.

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.080 align:center
I could always try wearing
a lower neckline?

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.240 align:center
Okay, alright, guys, come on.

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:13.720 align:center
Relax!

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.320 align:center
I can handle trivial problems
like these.

00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:19.160 align:center
Just put on the best show
for tomorrow. Yeah?

00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:21.120 align:center
Yes! Lovely!

00:28:22.280 --> 00:28:23.720 align:center
Thank you, darling!

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.120 align:center
-Good night...
-Good night.

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:27.680 align:center
-Good night!
-Good night.

00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:29.560 align:center
-Good night...

00:28:50.040 --> 00:28:50.920 align:center
-What am I hearing?

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.720 align:center
-You heard it absolutely right,
sir. The place is overbooked.

00:28:53.800 --> 00:28:55.720 align:center
And I’m not taking
any last moment...

00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:59.520 align:center
No, no...
I heard there won’t be any booze!

00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:03.000 align:center
There is no prohibition
in Calcutta, darling.

00:29:03.080 --> 00:29:05.240 align:center
And I haven’t printed
the bar menu on the invites.

00:29:05.320 --> 00:29:08.120 align:center
-My dad was saying, so I thought...

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:11.800 align:center
Don’t believe rumours, Mr. Da gama.

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.840 align:center
Have I ever delayed
on the credit alignment?

00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:15.240 align:center
-No, brother.
-Then?

00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:19.240 align:center
I'm getting calls from the bar
across yours. What do I do?

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:20.880 align:center
Oh wow!

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:23.560 align:center
You still answer their calls?

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.760 align:center
-Well...
-Great! They cleared the dues?

00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:27.000 align:center
-Nope!

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:29.480 align:center
Anyway...
You're sending the boys, right?

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:31.600 align:center
Hmm.

00:29:31.760 --> 00:29:32.960 align:center
Okay.

00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:40.520 align:center
-Jimmy, how will you manage
on your own?

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.280 align:center
I told you to employ Mr. Munshi.

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:45.320 align:center
Just get the permit cleared fast.

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.400 align:center
Just tell Uncle, please?

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.800 align:center
Are you nuts?

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:51.960 align:center
I'll ask a Swadeshi to help
with foreign liquor permit?

00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:54.080 align:center
Did you speak with Bose?

00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:56.920 align:center
Do something! Dad will kill me!

00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:01.640 align:center
Man! This Bose, Ghosh, Ali,
even Jerry! They're all useless!

00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:05.440 align:center
And who is this bloody Sinha
who no one knows of?

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.960 align:center
Okay.

00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.240 align:center
Hmm, hello?

00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:55.400 align:center
Sir, Mr. Neotia had called.

00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:59.040 align:center
He was trying to pressurise us,
I brushed him aside.

00:30:59.280 --> 00:31:00.480 align:center
Okay.

00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.600 align:center
To the right.

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:25.920 align:center
-Are there more?

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:28.160 align:center
Come on, guys.

00:31:28.560 --> 00:31:29.920 align:center
Careful.

00:31:32.560 --> 00:31:34.040 align:center
Hold it over there.

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:39.800 align:center
Let's carry these in.

00:31:41.800 --> 00:31:43.760 align:center
This one. Take it.

00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:45.360 align:center
Watch it.
-Careful.

00:31:45.560 --> 00:31:46.720 align:center
Da gama’s car?

00:31:46.760 --> 00:31:48.240 align:center
No, sir. It's my car.

00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:50.600 align:center
-Hmm. Why don't you get it painted?

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:53.480 align:center
What are you saying, sir?
It's just a goods vehicle.

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.000 align:center
-Shall I help?
-Huh?

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:59.480 align:center
I'll get it done. Full technicolor.

00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:02.480 align:center
-Rent it out for the eve?
-Huh?

00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:04.360 align:center
-Rent?
-Hmm.

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.080 align:center
Keep it. Take it!

00:32:10.040 --> 00:32:11.400 align:center
Take those.

00:32:12.040 --> 00:32:13.120 align:center
Here.

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.240 align:center
Hey, hurry up! Unload the goods!

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:18.200 align:center
-Michael?
-Yes, sir?

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.320 align:center
Make a call to Shohaib's paint shop.

00:32:21.800 --> 00:32:24.840 align:center
Seven times ten

00:32:26.760 --> 00:32:30.120 align:center
Seven lives too less

00:32:31.840 --> 00:32:35.200 align:center
Seven might get lucky, baby

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.240 align:center
We are gonna be the best

00:32:42.280 --> 00:32:45.040 align:center
Happy happy happy happy happy night!

00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:50.600 align:center
Happy days are like stage fright

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:54.000 align:center
Happiness is one dance away

00:32:54.080 --> 00:32:56.600 align:center
Cmon Mr Naidu, give it away

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:59.800 align:center
The winter's warmin' up

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.600 align:center
Cmon, fill up your cup

00:33:02.800 --> 00:33:06.200 align:center
A little bebop,
a little bebop tonight

00:33:07.800 --> 00:33:10.040 align:center
Shimmy shimmy shimmy...

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.280 align:center
-Finally you come!

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:21.000 align:center
-Last day of the year.
Park street is shining!

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.920 align:center
That’s for the public, not you.

00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:26.840 align:center
These parties are for
the fun & frolic-alcoholic public.

00:33:27.040 --> 00:33:29.880 align:center
-Whereas we're just public...
-servants.

00:33:30.040 --> 00:33:30.960 align:center
-Let's go.
-Yes.

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:32.320 align:center
Better hurry up.

00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:34.400 align:center
-Come.

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:37.880 align:center
Cmon, fill up your cup

00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:42.400 align:center
A little bebop,
a little bebop tonight

00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:45.960 align:center
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy...

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.480 align:center
My baby blue

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.760 align:center
-Soft drinks, sir.
-What! Soft drinks?

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:56.840 align:center
Seven times ten

00:33:57.040 --> 00:33:58.600 align:center
Hey!

00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.400 align:center
Seven lives too less

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:14.280 align:center
Want to taste it?

00:34:14.560 --> 00:34:15.920 align:center
I'm off meat today.

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:21.640 align:center
No one has anything.
They all must've come here drunk.

00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.000 align:center
-I'll search that side.
-Go on.

00:34:32.600 --> 00:34:33.960 align:center
Hey! Come on!

00:34:34.120 --> 00:34:35.880 align:center
Mr. Prabir! No, no!

00:34:36.040 --> 00:34:38.400 align:center
Mr. Dutta, don't take it inside!

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.360 align:center
-Hey, those--
-Mr. Roy?

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.400 align:center
I see that you've a secret
booze party going on here!

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.800 align:center
Don't be a spoilsport, please.

00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.880 align:center
It's the end of the year, come...

00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:52.640 align:center
Lovely!

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:57.640 align:center
A single sip can ruin a whole year
of good deeds, Mr. Roy.

00:34:57.720 --> 00:34:59.560 align:center
No, Mr. Sinha, no...

00:35:01.040 --> 00:35:02.600 align:center
It's the end of the year!

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:05.440 align:center
Ten, nine...

00:35:05.520 --> 00:35:06.600 align:center
-Relax! Relax!

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.680 align:center
Seven...

00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:10.720 align:center
-Six, five...
-Hey, listen...

00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:13.360 align:center
Four, three...

00:35:13.560 --> 00:35:15.600 align:center
Two, one!

00:35:15.680 --> 00:35:17.280 align:center
Happy New Year!

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.680 align:center
Who turned off the light?

00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.280 align:center
Sir?

00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:36.760 align:center
Enough.

00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.280 align:center
I am... I'm really sorry.

00:35:40.240 --> 00:35:41.440 align:center
Apologies.

00:35:41.720 --> 00:35:45.160 align:center
I didn't do it intentionally...
Um, it happened by mistake.

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.680 align:center
No one messes with the police!

00:35:48.720 --> 00:35:50.400 align:center
But look at you!

00:35:54.600 --> 00:35:56.440 align:center
You know what's the law?

00:35:56.560 --> 00:35:57.640 align:center
What?

00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:59.320 align:center
Shoot at sight.

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:00.680 align:center
Shoo... Shoo?

00:36:02.680 --> 00:36:04.640 align:center
Not shoo, shoot at sight!

00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:09.600 align:center
Can I make a call?

00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:11.160 align:center
-Please.

00:36:14.040 --> 00:36:16.840 align:center
-Hello?
-Yes... has Dad had dinner?

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:18.920 align:center
-Yes, he did.

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:20.480 align:center
When are you returning?

00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:22.080 align:center
-Hmm, listen...

00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:25.160 align:center
I won't return tonight.

00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.920 align:center
I have work at the club.

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:28.080 align:center
-I see.

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.400 align:center
-You and Dad can go to sleep.

00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:32.720 align:center
-Okay.
-Hmm. And lock the door.

00:36:33.080 --> 00:36:35.040 align:center
Yes, I will. Bye.

00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:44.240 align:center
As the lamp's light dims

00:36:44.240 --> 00:36:49.280 align:center
My hands reach out, up in the sky

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.520 align:center
Whom do I yearn to touch?

00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.120 align:center
Open it.

00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:03.840 align:center
By mistake...

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:12.720 align:center
-Das...

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:19.040 align:center
Be gentle...

00:37:19.120 --> 00:37:25.040 align:center
When I wake up in the morning, I see

00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:43.480 align:center
They put a lock & a notice
on the gate.

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.960 align:center
It's okay.

00:37:49.080 --> 00:37:50.920 align:center
Should we let Neotia sir know?

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:52.280 align:center
Oh, no.

00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:54.920 align:center
You know where my lawyer stays?

00:37:55.040 --> 00:37:56.200 align:center
-No.

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:58.000 align:center
Write it down.

00:38:03.080 --> 00:38:05.040 align:center
-22, Rajani Sen Road...

00:38:07.160 --> 00:38:08.600 align:center
-Move.

00:38:09.120 --> 00:38:10.280 align:center
You've been bailed out.

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.840 align:center
-Who?
-You!

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.720 align:center
-Who got me bail?
-I don't know.

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:16.400 align:center
Come.

00:38:17.040 --> 00:38:18.040 align:center
-Easy.

00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:38.960 align:center
-Who got me bail?
-He did.

00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:42.560 align:center
Take these.

00:39:02.720 --> 00:39:05.480 align:center
Open up on the side,
and see if the customers show up.

00:39:05.560 --> 00:39:07.080 align:center
-No drinks.
-Of course.

00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:10.240 align:center
Should I try mixing it
with coconut water or honey?

00:39:14.080 --> 00:39:15.520 align:center
-What?
-Let's go.

00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:26.160 align:center
Excise officer huh?

00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:27.600 align:center
-Hmm.

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:29.160 align:center
Slept well?

00:39:30.560 --> 00:39:32.480 align:center
The reason behind this favour?

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.240 align:center
The beginning of a friendship,
Mr. Jimmy.

00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:40.560 align:center
I am on your side, don't worry.

00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:43.720 align:center
What do you want, Mr. Sinha?

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.840 align:center
-To the point! Very good!

00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.240 align:center
This favour I've done for you...

00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:52.240 align:center
-Hmm.

00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.840 align:center
In return, you have to
do me a small favor as well.

00:40:01.520 --> 00:40:03.800 align:center
Is this how you usually ask
for favors?

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.120 align:center
No.

00:40:05.560 --> 00:40:07.600 align:center
I get guaranteed favors this way.

00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.320 align:center
You must've pissed him off.

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:17.040 align:center
I don't even know him!

00:40:18.040 --> 00:40:21.160 align:center
He ruined the biggest night
of my career!

00:40:21.680 --> 00:40:24.800 align:center
For what?
For some piece of land by the river!

00:40:31.240 --> 00:40:35.840 align:center
-Ray Bahadur Shib Narayan Ray,
is a 72-year-old seasoned landlord.

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:42.800 align:center
He is stubborn, moody
and very ill-tempered.

00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:48.960 align:center
He has a small strip of land.

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.400 align:center
I have tried to buy it from him.

00:40:53.680 --> 00:40:54.840 align:center
Failed.

00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.480 align:center
I’m sure with your talents...

00:41:01.080 --> 00:41:02.760 align:center
you will succeed.

00:41:08.680 --> 00:41:12.200 align:center
If he likes you,
he'll give it to you just like that.

00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.080 align:center
But if he doesn't...

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.200 align:center
-If he doesn't, use force.
You sure know how to.

00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:25.480 align:center
Didn't we agree on not wasting time?

00:41:25.560 --> 00:41:26.720 align:center
Right.

00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.240 align:center
We don’t engage
in illegal activities.

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.560 align:center
And we believe,
with you by our side,

00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.200 align:center
we won't need to do
anything illegal.

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.720 align:center
Please Ray Bahadur,

00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:43.080 align:center
do me the favour,
get hold of the land's deed,

00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.360 align:center
and you can have your license.

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:47.720 align:center
-Good morning, sir.

00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.080 align:center
Go, bring the sherbet.

00:41:51.160 --> 00:41:52.720 align:center
-No, it's okay, thank you.

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:54.000 align:center
-It’s for me.

00:41:54.240 --> 00:41:55.360 align:center
Take that.

00:42:00.120 --> 00:42:03.560 align:center
Humans bore me easily.
Especially, the humans of Calcutta.

00:42:04.520 --> 00:42:06.200 align:center
Are you entertaining, young man?

00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.400 align:center
Well, my work is entertaining, sir.

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:11.600 align:center
I’m Jimmy Roy. I run a cultural club
near Park Street.

00:42:11.720 --> 00:42:15.040 align:center
Club, I see. But what exactly
do you mean by culture?

00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:18.320 align:center
Well, it’s a club for gentlemen
who like finer things in life.

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:20.360 align:center
We mainly play jazz.

00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.880 align:center
But I have come here today
with some other request, sir.

00:42:26.040 --> 00:42:27.440 align:center
I’m all ears.

00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:33.400 align:center
Sir, you see, I've always wanted to
open an orphanage.

00:42:35.080 --> 00:42:37.240 align:center
But not in that concrete jungle
of a city.

00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:41.480 align:center
Something in the lap of nature.
And within my means.

00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:46.680 align:center
-Value & price are different things.
-Right.

00:42:46.720 --> 00:42:49.800 align:center
The true value of a land
is not its market price,

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.120 align:center
it depends on
what the land is being used for.

00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.720 align:center
Exactly!
That is why I have come to you.

00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.880 align:center
Well...

00:42:56.040 --> 00:42:57.720 align:center
Behind your estate...

00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.040 align:center
I mean the piece of land located
on the southeast of the river.

00:43:01.120 --> 00:43:04.080 align:center
Well, it's lying empty anyway...

00:43:04.160 --> 00:43:07.200 align:center
Yes, because I have kept it so.

00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.600 align:center
Sir, I just feel
it's just perfect for children.

00:43:09.680 --> 00:43:11.000 align:center
I mean... um...

00:43:11.080 --> 00:43:14.520 align:center
open grounds, greenery,
by the river...

00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:16.800 align:center
True.

00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.520 align:center
I can grant you that land.

00:43:19.640 --> 00:43:21.080 align:center
I'll be ever grateful, sir.

00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.840 align:center
But I will not, young man.

00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.040 align:center
Huh?

00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:27.760 align:center
Think I am a fool?

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:30.760 align:center
Oh, not at all. Of course not.

00:43:31.160 --> 00:43:32.760 align:center
Sir, just imagine,

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.080 align:center
your little grand kids playing
under the twilight sun.

00:43:37.160 --> 00:43:39.160 align:center
Their laughter,
their spirit, their joy!

00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:44.160 align:center
You'll take them to see the Victoria
Memorial in that imported car?

00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.800 align:center
The Yardley permeating off
your ears...

00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.480 align:center
will shape the lives
of these orphaned kids?

00:43:51.560 --> 00:43:52.720 align:center
-No...
-Right?

00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.560 align:center
-No, sir...
-And then?

00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:57.520 align:center
Once the kids get adopted,
your road is clear.

00:43:57.640 --> 00:44:00.120 align:center
The orphanage will turn into
a river-facing hotel!

00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:02.720 align:center
You misunderstand, sir.
Please, just...

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:04.760 align:center
Thank you for today's entertainment.

00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.240 align:center
Sir, listen to my offer once...

00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:08.520 align:center
-Offer?

00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.960 align:center
You mean money?
-Money, yes...

00:44:11.520 --> 00:44:13.400 align:center
-Come with me.
-Sure.

00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:16.600 align:center
-Jahangir’s ring...

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.880 align:center
This gramophone is from
the first lot in Germany.

00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:23.760 align:center
Just after the first war...

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:25.040 align:center
-Hmm...

00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:28.000 align:center
-Abanindranath,

00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:30.960 align:center
-Picasso...
-Pablo?

00:44:31.120 --> 00:44:32.960 align:center
-Gauhar Jaan’s first 78,

00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.680 align:center
Faiyaz Khan’s gold disc!

00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.000 align:center
The complete Zayida repertoire!

00:44:43.720 --> 00:44:45.840 align:center
Every single LP!

00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.680 align:center
I first heard Zayida
many moons back.

00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:56.960 align:center
Much before the so-called
taste makers of Calcutta

00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.200 align:center
even heard her name!

00:44:58.320 --> 00:44:59.680 align:center
-Hmm.

00:45:01.680 --> 00:45:03.040 align:center
In my childhood,

00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:05.560 align:center
at Rampur Palace,

00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:13.120 align:center
she came on stage to perform
just before Allauddin Khan sahib!

00:45:19.720 --> 00:45:22.520 align:center
It’s useless to impart
my pearls of wisdom to you.

00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.360 align:center
Your hair & clothes indicate that

00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:28.720 align:center
your taste begins and ends
with Shammi Kapoor.

00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:32.120 align:center
Sir, believe me...
I'm eager to learn.

00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:35.720 align:center
But I need someone to
introduce me to great taste too.

00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:37.840 align:center
Sir, if you could lend
some of your LPs...

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:41.000 align:center
I value them more than
a piece of land, Mr. Orphanage!

00:45:41.040 --> 00:45:42.160 align:center
Well, sure.

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:44.720 align:center
-Definitely.
-(laughing)

00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:46.800 align:center
I feel like laughing at you,

00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:49.680 align:center
but more importantly I am sleepy.

00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:52.400 align:center
Ananta...

00:45:53.560 --> 00:45:55.440 align:center
-Ananta!
-Coming, sir...

00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:57.600 align:center
See him out.

00:45:57.720 --> 00:45:59.040 align:center
Sir... sir...

00:46:02.120 --> 00:46:03.360 align:center
Come.

00:46:34.720 --> 00:46:36.680 align:center
-Happy new year, Jimmy!

00:46:44.200 --> 00:46:46.600 align:center
Here, a love letter for you!

00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:49.440 align:center
From?

00:46:49.520 --> 00:46:53.360 align:center
-Joseph. He’s changed his footpath
and his job.

00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:58.320 align:center
With endless customers at the club,
poor thing doesn't have any time!

00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:00.040 align:center
Look, Jimmy.

00:47:00.160 --> 00:47:03.920 align:center
You came knocking on my door
after fleeing one country.

00:47:04.240 --> 00:47:08.440 align:center
Now if the doors of Park Street
shut on you, where will you run to?

00:47:08.560 --> 00:47:09.520 align:center
Huh?

00:47:09.680 --> 00:47:12.040 align:center
(tense music)

00:47:12.240 --> 00:47:15.520 align:center
Ask your band to sing some
devotional songs or something.

00:47:16.040 --> 00:47:18.920 align:center
You should... sell the trumpet.

00:47:19.600 --> 00:47:21.400 align:center
And buy a tanpura.

00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.480 align:center
It’ll suit this place.

00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:44.160 align:center
(upbeat, energetic music)

00:48:00.720 --> 00:48:02.160 align:center
-Hello.
-Come.

00:48:06.160 --> 00:48:07.760 align:center
What brings you to my shop?

00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:09.760 align:center
Considering a sitar
for your jazz band?

00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.600 align:center
If Harrison can,
why can’t Jazz City?

00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:17.080 align:center
-Hmm. Well, what shall I show you?
-Uh, a tanpura. The finest one.

00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:21.720 align:center
-Pass me that one.

00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:25.680 align:center
See.

00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.240 align:center
Is this like... the best?

00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.680 align:center
I mean, what the maestros use.

00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:36.760 align:center
Music is not fashion.

00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:37.720 align:center
Of course not.

00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:39.040 align:center
-Wait.

00:48:39.240 --> 00:48:42.120 align:center
You have the ear
for a maestro’s music?

00:48:42.720 --> 00:48:44.720 align:center
You just mentioned Harrison, right?

00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:47.120 align:center
This is where Ravi da
got him his sitar from.

00:48:47.240 --> 00:48:49.280 align:center
-Oh, really?
-Not only that...

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.680 align:center
Faiyaz Khan, Zayida Begum,
Ali Akbar Khan...

00:48:52.720 --> 00:48:55.520 align:center
Zayida Begum gets her instruments
from here? Really?

00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:14.800 align:center
Listen...

00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:19.040 align:center
"Hemen da, my heartfelt gratitude
for this priceless tanpura."

00:49:19.200 --> 00:49:22.400 align:center
-Wow.
-"This will remain with me forever.

00:49:22.560 --> 00:49:25.760 align:center
May Allah grace your craftsmanship
with His blessings.

00:49:26.040 --> 00:49:28.720 align:center
Zayida Begum, 17, Assi Ghat,

00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.520 align:center
Ganesh Mohalla, Malviya Nagar,

00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:32.800 align:center
Benaras."

00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:56.920 align:center
-What is this?

00:49:58.320 --> 00:49:59.720 align:center
Who are you, son?

00:50:00.600 --> 00:50:03.360 align:center
I have grown up
listening to your voice, ma'am.

00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.040 align:center
-It’s all Allah’s gift.

00:50:05.120 --> 00:50:07.440 align:center
What’s a performer
without the listener?

00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:08.640 align:center
-Absolutely.

00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:11.720 align:center
Where are you from? You don't
seem to be from Benaras...

00:50:11.800 --> 00:50:14.440 align:center
This son of yours also comes
from the banks of Ganges.

00:50:14.520 --> 00:50:18.080 align:center
Um, I’ve come here
with a small request.

00:50:18.720 --> 00:50:19.960 align:center
Please don't refuse me.

00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.360 align:center
(faint singing)

00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:02.240 align:center
As I lose my sleep

00:51:02.240 --> 00:51:07.080 align:center
As I cry on my own

00:51:07.160 --> 00:51:09.160 align:center
-Begum sahiba?

00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:15.720 align:center
-I thought I would never leave
Kashi again, Shivnarayan ji.

00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.920 align:center
But your son’s will defeated mine.

00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:28.960 align:center
I cannot believe my luck!

00:51:29.120 --> 00:51:32.480 align:center
-A man whose child
regards him with such devotion,

00:51:32.560 --> 00:51:36.040 align:center
surely is lucky.
How is your health now?

00:51:36.160 --> 00:51:38.480 align:center
I am cured of all ailments now!

00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:41.120 align:center
Come in. Please...

00:51:42.600 --> 00:51:45.960 align:center
Come.
The first time I had heard you...

00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:56.960 align:center
What did I tell you, sir?

00:51:58.320 --> 00:51:59.360 align:center
-Hmm.

00:52:00.720 --> 00:52:02.200 align:center
You’ve got an eye, haven’t you.

00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:07.040 align:center
He did it before the others.

00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:09.160 align:center
-We have no other way, sir.

00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:15.160 align:center
This is our only option to secretly
send help across the border.

00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:18.760 align:center
The British made
a tunnel under the river.

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:21.880 align:center
It once carried electricity,
now it will carry revolution!

00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:25.080 align:center
-But, why him?

00:52:25.640 --> 00:52:28.360 align:center
Jimmy leaps like a horse
on a chessboard.

00:52:28.640 --> 00:52:30.600 align:center
He won't take the straight path.

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.960 align:center
While others follow linear rules...

00:52:36.560 --> 00:52:40.760 align:center
he'll leap across every radar
without anyone noticing.

00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.080 align:center
He has the stubbornness
of a child who has lost his toy.

00:52:46.240 --> 00:52:50.080 align:center
Or, you could say, he has
the violated ego of a prince.

00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:58.600 align:center
And of course...

00:52:59.160 --> 00:53:01.640 align:center
the fire of a refugee's
self-respect.

00:53:02.640 --> 00:53:03.920 align:center
That burns bright!

00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:09.640 align:center
Where will you find such fire
in our 9 to 5 government employees?

00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:14.680 align:center
If he gets caught,

00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:18.760 align:center
he will be bruised, he will bleed.

00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:20.280 align:center
Not us.

00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.440 align:center
He is dispensable.

00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:27.360 align:center
But I don't know why
my intuition says

00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:32.920 align:center
that this horse may win us
the king's game.

00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:38.200 align:center
Hm, I see.

00:53:38.200 --> 00:53:41.000 align:center
City of jazz

00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:44.000 align:center
City that moans

00:53:45.520 --> 00:53:47.160 align:center
But find those three boys

00:53:49.520 --> 00:53:51.080 align:center
He maybe dispensable

00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:52.680 align:center
they are not.

00:53:55.040 --> 00:53:57.400 align:center
The city of lights

00:53:58.520 --> 00:54:01.480 align:center
Sings in the dark

00:54:02.040 --> 00:54:04.920 align:center
And then takes flight
