00:24.440 --> 00:26.800
March, 1948.

00:27.440 --> 00:29.960
Pakistan’s founder,
Muhammad Ali Jinnah,

00:30.120 --> 00:32.320
comes to East Pakistan.

00:33.400 --> 00:36.120
The students & people of the nation,
had high hopes

00:36.480 --> 00:41.640
that he'd understand the emotion of
this land, its language, culture.

00:43.400 --> 00:46.160
But instead of hope,
they received a declaration.

00:47.240 --> 00:51.240
Urdu would be Pakistan’s
one & only national language.

00:52.600 --> 00:53.920
And Bengali?

00:55.040 --> 00:58.440
The language which was the root of
this land’s culture,

00:58.600 --> 01:00.960
history & birth...

01:01.360 --> 01:04.920
was discarded
without a second thought.

01:06.320 --> 01:09.080
This wasn’t just an attack
on the language alone.

01:09.600 --> 01:12.680
This was an attack
on a community’s identity.

01:13.800 --> 01:15.960
This was the first time, they realized

01:16.680 --> 01:20.720
that they would need to fight
for their identity’s survival.

01:22.000 --> 01:25.200
Come what may

01:26.240 --> 01:29.800
Your feet, O Mother

01:29.960 --> 01:34.240
I hold your feet to my heart

01:43.120 --> 01:44.560
-How much longer?

01:46.760 --> 01:49.000
-Five more minutes, sir.
I’m trying my best.

01:50.720 --> 01:52.760
-Look, a bus! Stop it!

01:53.080 --> 01:55.080
-Stop the bus! Stop!

01:55.240 --> 01:57.000
Come what may…

01:57.160 --> 01:59.720
Why are they stopping the bus?

02:02.120 --> 02:03.040
Sir, please come.

02:04.840 --> 02:06.040
What’s wrong, grandpa?

02:06.720 --> 02:07.720
You know, dear?

02:09.000 --> 02:14.080
Buses used to have names
of stoppages written in Bengali.

02:15.600 --> 02:20.880
Bonani, Deshgaon,
Dhanmondi, Motijheel...

02:21.680 --> 02:24.960
They tried to wipe out
our language back then too.

02:25.120 --> 02:29.080
But some determined
young boys & girls like y’all

02:29.200 --> 02:33.400
stood firm facing their guns.

02:34.520 --> 02:37.000
We haven't forgotten
the struggle of those four years.

02:37.080 --> 02:40.600
Now they want us to give our tests
in Urdu. Imagine, Kaberi?

02:41.360 --> 02:42.560
-Where will you go?

02:43.000 --> 02:44.040
-Ask in Urdu.

02:44.120 --> 02:46.840
-He's asking where we will go.
-We won't need tickets.

02:47.000 --> 02:48.840
Why do you need to ask? Move!

02:51.360 --> 02:52.680
-Come, sir.
-There they come.

02:52.800 --> 02:54.440
-Come, please. Move aside.

02:55.560 --> 02:57.160
Come on, scoot.
Make space for him.

02:57.240 --> 02:59.600
-Come on, uncle, move.
-Hey, easy.

03:01.400 --> 03:02.520
Please sit, sir.

03:16.040 --> 03:20.160
Who deems you poor?

03:20.280 --> 03:25.440
You have a heart of gold

03:26.320 --> 03:30.200
I know what that treasure
is worth

03:30.280 --> 03:33.560
I know its worth

03:33.760 --> 03:40.720
I won’t abandon you for
the love of a foreign land, Mother

03:41.160 --> 03:43.480
Come what may

03:43.560 --> 03:45.120
Lovely tune.

03:45.800 --> 03:48.760
But I don't understand the lyrics.
Whose song is it?

03:50.080 --> 03:51.080
Rabindranath.

03:51.920 --> 03:53.320
Tagore... (scoffing)

03:54.560 --> 03:58.400
Why enrage the government
unnecessarily by singing such songs?

03:58.800 --> 04:01.320
You know they are banned
on the radio, right?

04:02.160 --> 04:04.800
-Hmm. Banned on the radio.
Not on buses.

04:07.200 --> 04:08.640
-Such a sweet voice.

04:09.360 --> 04:10.840
Why don’t you sing us a ghazal?

04:13.160 --> 04:16.680
How will you advance in life
if you don’t learn Urdu?

04:17.120 --> 04:18.400
Learn some ghazals.

04:18.480 --> 04:20.840
Come to the cantonment.
Perform for us.

04:24.280 --> 04:25.920
Why don’t you wear a veil?

04:31.960 --> 04:34.960
Ma’am, your stoppage has arrived.
Come.

04:36.040 --> 04:37.040
Let’s go.

04:38.720 --> 04:39.720
Quick, go.

04:45.400 --> 04:46.400
Hey!

04:46.480 --> 04:47.880
You guys, come here.

04:49.320 --> 04:50.360
-Yes?

05:02.120 --> 05:05.400
-Pakistan and India
are both looking for the boys.

05:06.160 --> 05:08.200
You need to find them fast.

05:08.440 --> 05:10.120
They are our assets now.

05:12.000 --> 05:13.000
-Go.

05:18.600 --> 05:20.000
“Today they ban our singing.

05:20.520 --> 05:22.160
Tomorrow, our speech.

05:22.800 --> 05:25.880
Soon they won't let us breathe.

05:26.400 --> 05:28.280
Today we were made to get off a bus.

05:28.400 --> 05:30.400
Tomorrow, maybe,
they won't let us get on.

05:30.560 --> 05:33.560
Three professors left the country
last week.

05:33.760 --> 05:36.840
They probably have relatives
in Calcutta. They’ll manage.

05:37.360 --> 05:41.080
But what about the uneducated,
those who have no family?

05:41.520 --> 05:44.240
Their only hope is your jute mill.

05:44.720 --> 05:47.600
See if you can do something.

05:48.280 --> 05:50.480
Don't worry about me, sister.

05:50.680 --> 05:54.200
Our struggle didn’t begin
yesterday. It won’t end tomorrow."

05:54.360 --> 05:56.280
-Why don’t you call Kaberi here?

05:56.480 --> 05:58.480
How on earth
is she going to study there?

05:58.640 --> 06:01.080
She would’ve come already
if she wanted to.

06:01.720 --> 06:03.760
People getting abducted, murdered.

06:03.880 --> 06:05.720
And she's busy
with Language Day events.

06:05.800 --> 06:07.960
She’ll walk in the procession,
get arrested.

06:09.920 --> 06:12.320
So little and yet...

06:12.560 --> 06:15.080
wonder what she's made of.

06:16.160 --> 06:19.800
I feel scared for her,
but I am equally proud of her.

06:20.960 --> 06:24.440
If I had half her courage…

06:24.600 --> 06:27.520
Don’t be harsh on yourself, Sheela.
You’re helping from here too.

06:27.600 --> 06:29.880
You've arranged jobs
for so many refugees…

06:29.960 --> 06:31.320
Would it be possible without you?

06:31.400 --> 06:33.320
As if I am doing it all alone?

06:33.480 --> 06:35.600
I’m helping because I can afford to.

06:36.240 --> 06:38.520
You know, the Arabs used to say,

06:38.640 --> 06:40.960
“A man, a stranger,
appears at your door;

06:41.440 --> 06:44.280
feed him for three days
without asking him his name,

06:44.440 --> 06:46.920
where he is going,
or where he is heading.

06:47.720 --> 06:50.640
And in three days, either he’ll have
the strength to answer

06:50.920 --> 06:53.280
or you’ll be such good friends;
you won’t care.”

06:55.880 --> 06:57.040
I’ll get going.

06:57.160 --> 06:58.160
Alright.

06:58.240 --> 07:00.320
I hear more refugees have come in?

07:01.600 --> 07:03.760
Yes, I was thinking of going.

07:06.200 --> 07:07.200
Be safe.

07:13.480 --> 07:17.880
(intense music)

07:35.200 --> 07:36.600
Bring the hoe...

07:36.640 --> 07:39.320
Sir, work’s done for today.
Can we close down?

07:40.080 --> 07:41.080
-Hmm.

07:43.720 --> 07:45.320
Hey, what happened? Huh!?

07:46.960 --> 07:48.160
Pull him up!

07:49.600 --> 07:51.760
How did he… Bring him up!

07:51.960 --> 07:53.520
Let’s carry him away!

08:24.000 --> 08:25.280
-Let’s go.
-Where to, sir?

08:25.360 --> 08:27.800
The place you picked up
your previous passenger from.

08:27.880 --> 08:30.560
-Why?
-Come on, Sardarji.

08:30.640 --> 08:31.960
Keep this. Let’s go.

08:38.720 --> 08:39.720
Hello?

08:40.840 --> 08:43.480
Mr. Sinha. Please take the call.
It’s for you.

08:46.920 --> 08:47.920
Hello?

08:48.080 --> 08:49.080
Mr. Shashi.

08:49.720 --> 08:52.160
Does your agency know
that the topsoil has collapsed?

08:52.240 --> 08:53.240
Sir, sorry.

08:53.760 --> 08:54.760
“Sorry”?

08:55.360 --> 08:56.520
What will I do with that?

08:56.560 --> 08:58.400
We’re running out of time,
Mr. Shashi.

08:58.480 --> 08:59.760
Sir, I'm on it.

08:59.840 --> 09:04.120
Since we can’t inform
PWD or electric-supply engineers,

09:04.720 --> 09:07.200
arranging personnel
is taking some time.

09:07.280 --> 09:08.800
The Ministry has given you
a freehand,

09:08.880 --> 09:10.680
yet, I have to handle the budget.

09:34.920 --> 09:39.800
Ridicule me, give intel, support…
I'll gulp it all down, sir.

09:39.960 --> 09:42.920
-Stuff away.
-We’ve been providing all the intel.

09:43.880 --> 09:44.920
We will continue to.

09:45.040 --> 09:47.640
Look, an engineer is arriving
day after.

09:47.800 --> 09:49.520
Who’s that? Farokh Engineer?

09:50.080 --> 09:51.680
A British engineer.

09:52.040 --> 09:53.480
Note it down. George Holbrooke.

09:53.600 --> 09:56.400
George Holebruk?
Hole, as in ditch? Or…

09:56.480 --> 10:01.160
G-E-O-R-G-E
H-O-L-B-R-O-O-K-E.

10:01.240 --> 10:02.240
Right?

10:02.320 --> 10:04.360
He’ll go back to London
after two days.

10:04.520 --> 10:06.800
-Over to you now.
-Holbrooke. Got it.

10:07.000 --> 10:11.120
We’ve to extend his stay
by 15-20 days, right?

10:12.880 --> 10:16.120
You wouldn’t say such things
had you trained in the army.

10:16.280 --> 10:18.640
You need to live by the rules.

10:18.800 --> 10:21.240
But my civilian life's training
teaches me:

10:21.440 --> 10:24.440
Those who make the rules
rarely suffer their weight.

10:24.560 --> 10:25.720
Okay, anyway.

10:25.880 --> 10:26.960
It’ll be done, sir.

10:27.080 --> 10:28.280
Got to hang up now.

10:28.520 --> 10:29.520
Damn it.

10:40.840 --> 10:41.840
Hello.

10:43.080 --> 10:44.520
No, I’ll be late.

10:46.520 --> 10:47.520
What!

10:48.400 --> 10:49.760
A friend of mine?

10:51.920 --> 10:53.200
From school?

10:55.200 --> 10:57.960
He always visits our club
whenever he’s in Calcutta.

10:58.160 --> 11:00.920
Will you… introduce me to Tiger?

11:01.080 --> 11:03.600
And what will I do?
You'll bowl & he'll bat.

11:03.680 --> 11:04.600
Fielding.

11:04.760 --> 11:05.760
Okay!

11:09.920 --> 11:11.000
Oh, sir!

11:11.240 --> 11:13.320
-Dad!
-Liked my surprise?

11:13.520 --> 11:14.480
You know,

11:14.520 --> 11:18.200
Sharmila & Tiger would meet at
Jazz City on rest days during tests.

11:18.360 --> 11:20.640
Yes, he is such a gossip...
How are you?

11:20.800 --> 11:21.720
Good. You?

11:21.880 --> 11:22.800
Tea?

11:22.920 --> 11:23.920
-Hmm.

11:24.000 --> 11:26.520
-Another one for you?
-Sure.

11:26.760 --> 11:28.920
Tea on the river bank plot…

11:29.080 --> 11:32.120
We barely manage to pay rent
in a government flat.

11:32.200 --> 11:34.120
-Another plot?
-Make the tea, will you?

11:34.200 --> 11:35.240
I'm going.

11:35.320 --> 11:36.720
And Pluto?

11:36.880 --> 11:39.200
Don’t you have homework?
Go, do it.

11:39.280 --> 11:40.280
-Okay.

11:45.680 --> 11:47.240
You shouldn’t have come here.

11:47.320 --> 11:49.400
You shouldn’t have sent me
to jail either.

11:49.800 --> 11:51.160
What is this? Revenge?

11:52.640 --> 11:55.240
It’s just the beginning
of our friendship, Mr. Sinha.

11:55.320 --> 11:56.840
You visited our club.

11:57.000 --> 11:58.760
Can't I come to your home?

11:58.920 --> 11:59.920
Come on.

12:01.960 --> 12:04.320
Your wife doesn’t know
about the plot, isn’t it?

12:07.240 --> 12:09.040
Don’t worry at all.

12:09.480 --> 12:11.240
I am right beside you.

12:11.400 --> 12:13.840
You took care of me,
I’ll take care of you.

12:15.160 --> 12:17.120
Then do me a small favour.

12:17.240 --> 12:19.720
A table for Saturday night?
For three? Done.

12:19.880 --> 12:23.880
-You didn’t understand my question.
-You didn’t understand my answer.

12:27.840 --> 12:30.200
I'll come back for tea another time.

12:31.600 --> 12:33.680
-What! He left?

12:34.440 --> 12:35.560
-Keep the tea here.

12:36.160 --> 12:37.160
-Both the cups?

12:37.280 --> 12:38.280
-I drink both.

13:07.280 --> 13:09.920
Go and ask them
if they need anything.

13:10.280 --> 13:11.280
Go.

13:15.760 --> 13:17.160
-170.

13:24.600 --> 13:25.800
Just one moment.

13:25.880 --> 13:28.160
I’m making so much more money
in tips,

13:28.240 --> 13:30.480
I just add an extra bill and well…

13:30.640 --> 13:32.360
none of the men seem to complain.

13:32.520 --> 13:35.400
-That’s because you make
the pegs larger, darling.

13:35.560 --> 13:38.080
-Why don’t you use that calculator?
-Because I don't need to.

13:38.240 --> 13:40.720
(phone ringing) They pay me exactly
what I tell them to.

13:40.800 --> 13:42.280
-Hello?
-Yeah, right...

13:43.520 --> 13:44.520
Sir.

13:47.720 --> 13:48.720
Hello.

13:49.000 --> 13:52.240
-Chandu answered. So you haven't
found Joseph's replacement yet.?

13:52.360 --> 13:53.440
-Thank you.

13:54.400 --> 13:57.120
-Such concern for Jazz City?

13:57.280 --> 13:59.480
You’re making Pamela
work double shifts, Jimmy.

13:59.560 --> 14:03.360
Why don’t you hire a proper manager?
Also, she's the club's voice.

14:03.520 --> 14:04.520
-Not invoice.
-Chandu!

14:04.680 --> 14:06.960
I’m asking for my steak sandwich!

14:07.120 --> 14:08.120
Thank you!

14:08.800 --> 14:09.960
I’m still looking.

14:10.880 --> 14:14.360
So many qualified Bengali refugees
are looking for a job.

14:14.600 --> 14:16.400
Why don’t you give them a chance?

14:16.640 --> 14:18.600
What! A refugee?

14:18.760 --> 14:21.840
Are you out of your mind, Sheela?
How will they fit in?

14:22.000 --> 14:23.840
Jazz City is the epicenter
of glamour.

14:23.920 --> 14:27.120
How do I suit up those refugees
and present them in front of guests?

14:27.200 --> 14:30.640
Well, don’t give them a job,
at least give them a chance.

14:30.760 --> 14:31.760
Yeah...

14:32.080 --> 14:33.520
Booze is taboo for many of them.

14:33.680 --> 14:36.000
Won't it hurt their sentiment
to serve it?

14:36.560 --> 14:41.600
Jimmy, all big companies here are
helping in whatever way they can.

14:41.880 --> 14:43.440
At least conduct an interview?

14:43.640 --> 14:44.640
Yeah.

15:03.200 --> 15:04.600
Uff!

15:04.880 --> 15:07.160
-Playtime! Duke!
-Hmm.

15:07.320 --> 15:10.200
Remember, we tried this
at Snowfox once?

15:10.560 --> 15:12.720
God, we bombed so badly!

15:13.880 --> 15:15.640
That wasn’t your fault.

15:15.800 --> 15:17.320
Rodriguez was nervous.

15:17.480 --> 15:20.360
-Yes. He was planning
to propose to Anita.

15:21.960 --> 15:23.640
I remember everything.

15:25.600 --> 15:27.400
-Do you?
-Oh, ya.

15:27.960 --> 15:30.640
He proposed. She said no.

15:30.800 --> 15:33.320
And then we had to sit & drink
with him all night.

15:35.080 --> 15:36.080
Well…

15:37.280 --> 15:39.160
At least, he said it.

15:42.680 --> 15:45.520
And see how it turned out
for both of them.

15:45.680 --> 15:48.760
He continues to be a wreck
and… she moved on.

15:56.280 --> 15:58.120
Park Street misses your voice.

16:03.360 --> 16:05.400
It’s Language Day on 21st February.

16:05.560 --> 16:08.000
Won’t you do something at Jazz City?

16:08.080 --> 16:09.560
You know my views on this.

16:10.840 --> 16:13.520
See, Jazz City
is absolutely apolitical.

16:14.240 --> 16:16.080
A place for entertainment,
not revolution.

16:16.760 --> 16:20.120
Besides, Jag warned me to steer
clear of any controversy. So...

16:20.200 --> 16:24.720
Hmm. Or else, he won't share
his dad's pocket money with you?

16:34.760 --> 16:35.760
Woah!

16:46.160 --> 16:49.280
Sister is here! Yay!

16:53.800 --> 16:54.800
Hey!

16:55.560 --> 16:57.280
How are you all?

16:57.440 --> 16:58.640
-Good.

16:59.480 --> 17:00.480
Okay.

17:01.440 --> 17:03.160
Here you go.

17:04.440 --> 17:06.040
And this is yours. Oops!

17:07.720 --> 17:09.040
Slow down.

17:09.840 --> 17:12.520
-Sister, where's mine?
-This is for you.

17:13.960 --> 17:15.560
-How are you?
-Good, ma'am.

17:15.720 --> 17:16.720
Come.

17:18.440 --> 17:20.320
Hello, are you well?

17:20.480 --> 17:22.440
-The water problem is sorted?
-How've you been?

17:22.600 --> 17:24.120
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello.

17:24.280 --> 17:25.280
-Come.

17:35.600 --> 17:36.520
Hello.

17:36.600 --> 17:38.280
Meet Jimmy. Jimmy Roy.

17:38.800 --> 17:40.960
He has comes from
the local Jazz City club.

17:41.120 --> 17:43.920
-He’s looking for a manager.
-Alright, alright.

17:45.000 --> 17:46.880
I won’t be interviewing in Bengali.

17:47.040 --> 17:48.920
Jazz City is a cosmopolitan club.

17:49.080 --> 17:51.680
Most of our patrons
listen to highest forms of music,

17:51.800 --> 17:53.720
are aware of the best brands
of alcohol…

17:53.800 --> 17:55.080
And while I’m there for that,

17:55.200 --> 17:57.240
I would need someone
with a certain panache

17:57.320 --> 17:59.200
who’ll not look like
a fish out of water.

17:59.280 --> 18:03.760
When a guest asks for the vintage,
he’s being served.

18:04.320 --> 18:05.320
So,

18:05.800 --> 18:08.560
those of you who understood what
I said, please raise your hands.

18:08.720 --> 18:10.320
What's he saying...

18:11.720 --> 18:13.600
-Y'all stay, rest can leave.
-What on earth!

18:13.800 --> 18:14.800
Jimmy!

18:16.240 --> 18:17.320
Hearing is easy.

18:17.400 --> 18:18.960
Speaking is a different matter.

18:19.520 --> 18:23.920
How many of you are fluent
in English & have a workable Hindi?

18:25.680 --> 18:26.680
Hmm.

18:26.800 --> 18:28.520
You, sir.
Could you introduce yourself?

18:28.600 --> 18:30.360
-Salauddin Shamsi, sir.
-Hmm.

18:30.520 --> 18:31.800
Myself from Barisal.

18:31.880 --> 18:33.600
I have a Master’s in Chemistry.

18:34.000 --> 18:35.000
Chemistry.

18:35.680 --> 18:38.280
Interesting.
Can you make some cocktails?

18:38.440 --> 18:40.520
Do you have any hotel experience?

18:41.000 --> 18:42.480
Thought so. Anyone with any...

18:42.560 --> 18:44.400
-Sir!
-Hmm?

18:45.040 --> 18:47.880
Sir, I’ve been an assistant manager
at the New Intercontinental.

18:48.040 --> 18:49.480
For over a year.

18:49.640 --> 18:51.120
Since '67, sir.

18:51.840 --> 18:53.640
Alright. And…

18:53.800 --> 18:54.720
what’s your name?

18:54.800 --> 18:56.160
Ram Bahadur Singh.

18:56.320 --> 18:57.320
-Sir.
-Hmm.

18:57.400 --> 18:59.040
I’ve also done a course
in shorthand.

18:59.160 --> 19:00.800
And my typing speed
is 160 words per--

19:00.960 --> 19:02.600
-Alright. Okay. So…

19:02.680 --> 19:05.120
I need a manager.
Not a stenographer.

19:06.040 --> 19:07.800
-You won’t be disappointed, sir.

19:07.960 --> 19:09.000
-Hmm...

19:10.200 --> 19:13.000
I can give you a probation
of three months. My hotel is Jazz--

19:13.080 --> 19:14.160
-Jazz City, sir.

19:14.800 --> 19:16.640
At my place, they say

19:16.800 --> 19:19.640
you haven’t seen Calcutta
if you haven’t seen Jazz City.

19:24.320 --> 19:25.320
He’s hired.

19:26.840 --> 19:28.160
-Ram Bahadur?
-Yes, ma'am.

19:28.320 --> 19:31.240
You have family at Dhaka
whom I need to inform?

19:31.400 --> 19:34.000
No... But thank you so much, ma'am.

19:35.000 --> 19:36.120
-Jimmy.
-Hmm?

19:37.360 --> 19:38.480
He is one of us.

19:38.560 --> 19:40.520
-Hmm.
-Please take care of him.

19:42.840 --> 19:43.840
I will.

19:44.920 --> 19:45.920
Certainly.

19:49.320 --> 19:50.920
-Anything else, sir?

19:52.240 --> 19:53.400
-Congratulations.

19:53.480 --> 19:54.840
-Thank you so much, ma’am.

19:57.840 --> 19:58.840
-Thank you.

20:00.640 --> 20:01.600
-Bye.

20:01.680 --> 20:02.680
-Let’s go.

20:08.640 --> 20:11.040
-1952, 21st February.

20:11.360 --> 20:14.280
The first time voices roared,
demanding their own language.

20:14.720 --> 20:17.800
And they imposed Section 144.

20:18.760 --> 20:21.040
Gunshots were fired
on the streets of Dhaka.

20:21.840 --> 20:26.240
Salam, Rafiq, Barkat, Jabbar’s blood

20:27.120 --> 20:29.040
gave birth to an oath.

20:29.680 --> 20:32.880
“We must die
for our mother language.”

20:34.400 --> 20:37.640
-Does no one know
this boy’s name, Suman da?

20:39.360 --> 20:40.360
No.

20:40.880 --> 20:44.320
Not just him.
We don’t know many more names.

20:44.960 --> 20:47.320
The rickshaw puller
who died in crossfire,

20:47.480 --> 20:50.040
the fishermen, the bauls & faqirs…

20:51.600 --> 20:53.840
We carry their souls within us.

20:54.440 --> 20:56.160
Yes. We do.

20:58.080 --> 21:00.600
So… you’re going to Calcutta.

21:01.720 --> 21:03.120
Feeling anxious?

21:04.640 --> 21:07.440
I am just thinking
about the 21st, Kaberi.

21:08.720 --> 21:09.720
Suman da.

21:11.400 --> 21:13.160
Pratul sir used to say this:

21:14.600 --> 21:17.040
Languages, like ideas,

21:17.600 --> 21:18.800
are bulletproof.

21:20.520 --> 21:21.680
Like our souls.

21:23.600 --> 21:25.080
Can’t drown in the water.

21:25.920 --> 21:27.240
Can’t be wounded by weapons.

21:28.400 --> 21:29.960
Can’t be burned by fire.

21:30.400 --> 21:31.840
-No, dear.
-Sir.

21:32.240 --> 21:35.120
-Oh, Shamsur sir...
-Language is like a plant.

21:35.680 --> 21:37.840
Can’t survive
if you don’t nurture it.

21:38.680 --> 21:41.000
That’s okay, dear.
Please do your work.

21:41.200 --> 21:42.200
Bless you.

21:43.680 --> 21:47.280
There was a time the North
Californians spoke in Yana language.

21:47.440 --> 21:51.040
Louisiana spoke in Tunica.
Eyak in Alaska.

21:51.560 --> 21:54.680
Just in America alone,
these three language went extinct

21:54.760 --> 21:56.160
due to lack of nurturing.

21:57.880 --> 22:00.400
Therefore, if the state
won’t water it,

22:01.520 --> 22:04.440
a language can’t survive, dear.
-Shamsur sir, please come here.

22:04.600 --> 22:06.040
-Coming.

22:06.200 --> 22:07.280
Bless you.

22:07.360 --> 22:09.000
Get back to your work.

22:14.360 --> 22:16.880
My father was a farmer, Suman.

22:17.440 --> 22:19.360
He used to till
other people’s lands.

22:20.160 --> 22:21.520
I used to study

22:22.560 --> 22:25.280
and my father
would send me money.

22:27.160 --> 22:30.920
I still wonder how tough it was
for him to arrange that money.

22:31.360 --> 22:34.200
Filling up the application
was no easy task!

22:34.680 --> 22:37.520
My father didn’t know English,
nor Urdu.

22:37.720 --> 22:42.840
He went to a maulvi, had him fill
it up & then came back to submit.

22:43.000 --> 22:45.160
He spent a whole day doing that.

22:46.640 --> 22:51.600
A day’s wage went into
sending me money.

22:52.360 --> 22:55.080
Why?
Because his son was studying.

22:57.280 --> 22:58.800
-When that time returns,

22:58.960 --> 23:03.240
Bengali will bloom blood-bright
on the streets, all over the walls.

23:03.400 --> 23:04.520
-They...

23:04.640 --> 23:08.280
painted rangoli with that blood
to win against Jinnah, Suman.

23:08.440 --> 23:11.080
So you won’t have to fight anymore.
Come.

23:13.520 --> 23:15.280
-Will the election happen, sir?

23:15.440 --> 23:16.560
-Well, it will.

23:17.600 --> 23:21.280
But I don’t know how impartial
or hassle-free it’ll be.

23:22.200 --> 23:25.160
But still, it's our only hope.

23:25.320 --> 23:27.520
See that man?

23:27.680 --> 23:29.960
He is our only hope.

23:32.680 --> 23:33.680
Oi.

23:34.160 --> 23:35.720
What are you all doing?

23:36.960 --> 23:38.280
They are drawing.

23:39.440 --> 23:41.920
Drawing the face of Bangla!

23:42.240 --> 23:43.360
Will you tear it off?

23:43.600 --> 23:44.880
Go ahead!

23:45.040 --> 23:48.120
Every time you tear it off,
we will draw it all over again!

23:48.280 --> 23:49.520
Come, brother.

23:49.680 --> 23:51.120
Stand with us.

23:51.560 --> 23:52.800
Raise your voice with us.

23:56.280 --> 23:59.120
-Come for the program
on 21st, brother.

23:59.800 --> 24:04.720
We are all kings
in this kingdom of ours

24:04.960 --> 24:08.800
Without being so,
how will we unite with our king?

24:09.000 --> 24:11.200
We are all kings

24:11.360 --> 24:15.520
We are all kings
in this kingdom of ours

24:16.800 --> 24:20.080
Without being so,
how will we unite with our king?

24:20.160 --> 24:22.200
The ban on the state radio
is not enough, sir.

24:22.280 --> 24:24.840
They can catch programs
from Calcutta on the radio.

24:26.920 --> 24:27.920
Yes.

24:38.160 --> 24:39.200
-Happy?

24:39.800 --> 24:41.560
You were over-confident about him.

24:43.680 --> 24:45.240
And it’s jazz.

24:46.000 --> 24:47.840
No head or tail to it whatsoever!

24:48.720 --> 24:52.360
Sir, we’re not training him
for foreign service.

24:52.720 --> 24:54.760
We need to weaponize his emotion.

24:54.840 --> 24:56.040
Look, Mr. Shashi.

24:56.520 --> 24:59.280
Fine, you're employing civilians
in the agency.

24:59.360 --> 25:01.880
But this guy
has no discipline, no decorum.

25:02.240 --> 25:04.520
An upstart, liar, fixer.

25:05.120 --> 25:07.560
How will you churn
patriotic acts out of him?

25:07.640 --> 25:10.840
You think some goody two shoes
decorum-fed lad can do this?

25:12.360 --> 25:16.480
And please, sir.
Let not talk about protocols.

25:19.000 --> 25:23.280
Is Pakistan conducting its
mass killings obeying protocol?

25:23.440 --> 25:26.120
That is why we need
the tunnel immediately.

25:26.280 --> 25:27.480
Begin work, fast.

25:27.640 --> 25:28.680
Fast?

25:39.000 --> 25:41.040
Excuse me, how long will it take?

25:41.120 --> 25:43.000
-Hey, I’m trying to work here!

25:46.440 --> 25:48.280
Are you done?

25:48.760 --> 25:50.120
-Nearly.

25:50.760 --> 25:53.920
You said it’ll take just 20 minutes.
Come on, finish it.

25:54.280 --> 25:55.280
Sir

25:55.960 --> 25:57.240
What do you think?

25:58.080 --> 26:00.400
Will he leave Shammi behind?

26:02.360 --> 26:04.200
Well, Khanna has one advantage.

26:04.440 --> 26:06.080
The voice of Kishore Kumar!

26:07.600 --> 26:09.800
Stick one on this wall.

26:10.040 --> 26:11.040
-Hmm.

26:13.400 --> 26:14.800
Hey, what are you doing?

26:14.880 --> 26:15.880
Hello…

26:16.000 --> 26:19.120
Don’t be surprised. It’s your
Sheela ma’am’s favourite day.

26:20.880 --> 26:24.160
I knew about Dhaka.
They celebrate it in Calcutta too?

26:24.480 --> 26:27.560
No, man. It’s only Sheela
who’s been going on about it.

26:27.720 --> 26:29.600
All our Bengali singers,

26:29.680 --> 26:31.440
Burman, Dey, Mukherjee,

26:31.520 --> 26:34.880
they all sing for Punjabi heroes
in Bombay.

26:35.040 --> 26:37.280
No politics bigger than business,
darling.

26:37.360 --> 26:38.880
-Hmm.
-Say what you will, sir,

26:38.960 --> 26:40.960
Bengalis are ruling Bombay.

26:41.040 --> 26:42.320
-Hmm.
-Guru Dutt.

26:42.480 --> 26:44.400
He doesn’t use
his Padukone surname.

26:44.520 --> 26:46.480
Thinks of himself
to be an honourary Bengali.

26:46.560 --> 26:49.280
-Hmm. Please come out
if you are done.

26:49.960 --> 26:50.960
Enough now.

26:51.800 --> 26:52.800
How much?

26:53.560 --> 26:54.640
10 rupees.

26:54.800 --> 26:55.800
-Take it.

27:01.360 --> 27:02.320
Do one thing.

27:02.480 --> 27:03.480
-Yes, sir.

27:04.080 --> 27:05.320
Go, see the film.

27:05.480 --> 27:06.480
Oh, no, sir.

27:06.560 --> 27:09.680
We, refugees have a very strict
code of conduct.

27:09.760 --> 27:11.120
Sheela ma’am had briefed us.

27:11.240 --> 27:12.680
I… can’t take it, sir.

27:13.600 --> 27:17.320
-Fine, don’t.
-But sir... what if she finds out?

27:18.280 --> 27:19.440
How would she know?

27:19.520 --> 27:20.960
Just go, man.

27:21.120 --> 27:22.120
Enjoy!

27:23.360 --> 27:25.360
-Thank you, sir!
-You’re welcome, darling!

27:46.800 --> 27:47.920
-Stop the screening!

27:48.120 --> 27:49.440
Stop the screening!

27:49.720 --> 27:51.480
Down with propaganda!

27:51.560 --> 27:54.640
Our communist friends
are being insulted here!

27:54.720 --> 27:56.280
It’s just a film, man!

27:56.480 --> 27:58.120
The hero will hit back!

27:58.480 --> 27:59.680
-Hell with your film!

27:59.760 --> 28:02.200
Long live communism!

28:02.840 --> 28:05.240
Set fire to it! Come on!

28:05.320 --> 28:07.760
What are you doing? Hey!
What are you doing!

28:07.920 --> 28:09.840
-Revolution!

28:10.600 --> 28:11.960
Run! Run!

28:12.120 --> 28:13.920
Revolution!

28:14.040 --> 28:15.880
Let’s get out of here!

28:20.920 --> 28:22.200
Move aside!

28:23.440 --> 28:26.360
Move it! Move it!

28:29.000 --> 28:32.160
-Hey! Call the police!

28:33.000 --> 28:34.200
Call the police!

28:39.680 --> 28:40.840
You don’t understand, sir.

28:40.920 --> 28:43.000
I have suffered a huge loss.

28:43.120 --> 28:45.080
Know how much
a new screen will cost?

28:45.240 --> 28:47.600
Some audience members
are even demanding a refund.

28:47.760 --> 28:49.400
I don’t know what to do!

28:54.560 --> 28:56.280
Don’t worry, Mr. Sanjay.

28:56.880 --> 28:57.880
I am there.

28:58.040 --> 29:00.440
Get the screen fixed by a tailor.

29:01.240 --> 29:03.640
And those demanding a refund;

29:04.720 --> 29:07.120
tell them to collect it
from the police station.

29:12.640 --> 29:13.760
Was it him?

29:15.320 --> 29:16.760
It was dark.

29:16.960 --> 29:18.280
I can’t be sure.

29:19.840 --> 29:21.280
Now watch my detective work.

29:24.520 --> 29:25.640
Which college, son?

29:25.960 --> 29:27.480
Medical college. Homeopathy.

29:28.080 --> 29:29.600
Nope, he's useless.

29:31.320 --> 29:32.440
Which college?

29:32.800 --> 29:34.120
Madhabpur University.

29:34.320 --> 29:35.720
Das! Take him!

29:35.880 --> 29:38.280
-But why?
-Shut up! Come with me!

29:38.360 --> 29:40.200
-I didn’t do anything, sir!
-Just come!

29:40.280 --> 29:42.880
Sir... sir... may I go?
I’m not a student.

29:42.960 --> 29:44.360
You can go. What do you do?

29:44.440 --> 29:45.800
I am a manager.

29:46.120 --> 29:47.200
At Park Street.

29:47.440 --> 29:48.640
At Jazz City, sir.

29:54.720 --> 29:55.720
Wow!

29:55.960 --> 29:56.880
What?

29:56.960 --> 29:57.960
Come with us.

29:58.040 --> 29:59.560
-Come where, sir?
-Just come.

29:59.720 --> 30:00.880
-But I didn’t…
-Come on.

30:00.960 --> 30:02.840
-Sir? But I did not…
-Just come!

30:07.640 --> 30:08.640
-Sir…

30:09.080 --> 30:12.200
I’m not even a Bengali!
Nor a student!

30:12.400 --> 30:15.000
I was watching the film,
sitting in the dress circle, sir!

30:15.080 --> 30:16.600
Now we’ll show you
the undress circle.

30:18.160 --> 30:20.600
If not a Naxalite,
you could be the heros fan.

30:20.680 --> 30:23.400
He was getting beaten up,
so you set the screen on fire!?

30:24.240 --> 30:25.720
-Your father's property?
-Sir!

30:26.960 --> 30:29.720
Sir…sir, please call up ma’am!

30:30.280 --> 30:32.200
Stop it!
What do you think I’m doing?

30:37.400 --> 30:38.760
Mr. Foreigner Roy.

30:40.360 --> 30:41.480
Two calls done, right?

30:41.560 --> 30:43.080
-Yes.
-Go home.

30:44.960 --> 30:47.880
Better give us your confession
for the previous case.

30:49.760 --> 30:51.120
Sir, save me from his clutch!

30:51.120 --> 30:52.360
His crotch?

31:03.400 --> 31:05.440
-Hello.
-Hello, Jimmy here.

31:05.520 --> 31:08.280
I’m at Park Street police station.
They've arrested my manager.

31:08.360 --> 31:09.760
-But he is innocent.
-Hmm.

31:10.240 --> 31:11.560
Could you come down?

31:12.120 --> 31:13.240
It’ll take 20 minutes.

31:13.320 --> 31:14.320
Okay.

31:14.400 --> 31:16.560
-But…
-Another exchange of favours?

31:17.120 --> 31:18.120
Right?

31:20.920 --> 31:22.880
You should’ve been a criminal.

31:23.760 --> 31:25.280
You’d have done well in life.

31:25.440 --> 31:26.720
Please come fast.

31:30.560 --> 31:34.000
What’s the Bengali word for crotch?
I mean, the Hindi word?

31:39.360 --> 31:41.040
-Are you hungry?
-Yes.

31:41.600 --> 31:42.600
Hi!

31:42.720 --> 31:44.120
Mr. George Holbrooke?

31:45.880 --> 31:48.080
Mr Collins at the Grand
sends his regards...

31:49.320 --> 31:50.360
Why, thank you.

31:50.800 --> 31:52.120
Thank you. Um...

31:52.280 --> 31:54.320
And also, his deepest regrets,
Mr. Holbrooke.

31:54.400 --> 31:56.560
There’s been a termite infestation
at the hotel.

31:56.720 --> 31:57.640
Oh, dear!

31:57.720 --> 32:00.280
But, we’ve arranged a suite
for you in my hotel.

32:00.360 --> 32:01.480
Uh, Jazz City.

32:02.160 --> 32:03.320
Uh, please.

32:17.280 --> 32:18.600
So… this is Jazz City!

32:19.440 --> 32:21.760
-Oh!
-The finest club on Park Street!

32:21.840 --> 32:22.840
-Impressive!

32:23.040 --> 32:24.040
-Please come.

32:24.200 --> 32:25.360
-The rooms are upstairs.
-Ah.

32:25.400 --> 32:26.560
-Ya.
-Jimmy sir.

32:26.720 --> 32:29.880
-Yes? Please carry on.
-Please have a look at today's menu.

32:30.040 --> 32:32.040
-Yes... You look into it.
-Alright.

32:32.200 --> 32:33.560
-Is the room ready?
-Yes.

32:43.560 --> 32:44.920
-Oh!
-Oh!

32:45.440 --> 32:46.800
Terribly sorry!

32:48.160 --> 32:50.520
I had no idea there was
a suite booked today.

32:50.600 --> 32:52.440
Oh! Oh, Lord, Pam!

32:52.640 --> 32:53.800
I am terribly sorry, George.

32:53.920 --> 32:56.160
Our lead crooner, Pamela,
often occupies the suites

32:56.240 --> 32:57.560
for the costumes and all.

32:57.640 --> 33:00.880
Darling, did Ram Bahadur give you
the wrong key? Um, this is 501.

33:00.960 --> 33:04.400
Oh, I’m terribly sorry.
-(nervous laughter)

33:06.600 --> 33:07.880
Uh, she can finish up.

33:07.960 --> 33:09.800
I don’t really have
a room preference.

33:09.880 --> 33:12.600
-Oh, that’s so nice of you, George!
-You don't, is it?

33:12.720 --> 33:14.080
-I mean…

33:17.080 --> 33:19.160
I’m only teasing you, darling.

33:19.320 --> 33:21.960
A little bit of mascara & gloss
can wait.

33:22.120 --> 33:24.200
I’m done with the options tonight.

33:25.240 --> 33:26.800
I’m thinking…

33:28.320 --> 33:30.760
You prefer the pink? Or the cream?

33:31.040 --> 33:33.760
Uh… this is… great!

33:35.440 --> 33:37.360
-Oh, Lord! All these dresses!

33:51.920 --> 33:53.280
Excuse me... sorry!

33:53.360 --> 33:54.840
-Oh!
-Have a nice day!

33:54.920 --> 33:56.920
Enjoy the room! Um... Pam...

34:11.400 --> 34:13.720
You’re not going to tell me
what this is about?

34:13.800 --> 34:15.480
On a need to know basis, darling.

34:15.560 --> 34:16.840
On a need to know.

34:18.160 --> 34:19.160
Ah.

34:37.400 --> 34:39.080
What's his name?

34:39.280 --> 34:44.880
Left me a diamond
at the so and so place

34:45.440 --> 34:49.000
It was a 'you know what I mean'

34:49.360 --> 34:53.360
And I put a smile on his face

34:55.920 --> 34:59.120
The cutlery, the shoo shaa

34:59.920 --> 35:03.280
The babu and the chhokra

35:03.960 --> 35:06.760
The lobster, the chardonnay

35:07.920 --> 35:11.960
The tarts and the okra

35:13.840 --> 35:15.520
He fawned

35:15.680 --> 35:17.520
I yawned

35:17.960 --> 35:21.120
His muse... excused

35:21.600 --> 35:24.880
Tuxy tights and lights

35:25.400 --> 35:31.120
Another jester bemused

35:33.480 --> 35:37.520
Lace and luck, cluckity cluck
Shimmery shim, nip and tuck

35:37.640 --> 35:41.280
Giggly bubbly, risky mess

35:42.040 --> 35:45.600
Fun times got over in my nest

35:46.160 --> 35:49.800
Fun times got over in my nest

35:50.000 --> 35:53.600
Fun times got over in my nest

35:54.000 --> 35:57.360
Fun times got over in my nest

35:57.440 --> 35:59.120
What's his name?

35:59.320 --> 36:04.920
Left me a diamond
at the so and so place

36:05.400 --> 36:08.720
It was a 'you know what I mean'

36:09.360 --> 36:13.160
And I put a smile on his face

36:33.440 --> 36:34.680
Waiter…

36:35.880 --> 36:36.920
-Yes, sir...

36:39.000 --> 36:40.000
-Uh…

36:40.480 --> 36:42.680
Have you seen--
Have you seen Jimmy?

36:43.680 --> 36:46.240
-Good morning, Mr. Holbrooke!
-He's here.

36:46.480 --> 36:49.960
-Can I help you with something?
-My passport, my wallet, I...

36:50.040 --> 36:51.400
-Passport?

36:51.480 --> 36:53.200
Oh, did you…

36:54.080 --> 36:55.960
Did you leave it here last night?

36:57.160 --> 36:59.280
Oh, okay, is this the table?

36:59.360 --> 37:00.680
-I don’t remember!

37:01.000 --> 37:02.280
-Okay, let me check.

37:02.440 --> 37:03.440
Let me check.

37:06.760 --> 37:08.320
-The food wasn't great.

37:08.400 --> 37:10.880
Sir, the passport is kept there.

37:11.000 --> 37:12.520
Ah, okay, thank you.

37:12.560 --> 37:13.560
What!

37:13.760 --> 37:15.480
How did this happen?

37:15.560 --> 37:16.480
Please sit.

37:16.600 --> 37:19.800
Can’t even… Can someone
take me to the embassy maybe?

37:19.880 --> 37:21.800
Oh, certainly.
I’ll take you there myself.

37:21.880 --> 37:25.280
But first, you need to settle down.
Let me get you something to eat.

37:33.320 --> 37:34.920
-Excuse me…
-Yes, sir?

37:35.080 --> 37:37.280
-I’ve booked a call to London.

37:37.880 --> 37:41.160
-Unfortunately, sir,
all international lines are jammed.

37:41.520 --> 37:43.000
-Oh, really?
-Yes, sir!

37:43.160 --> 37:45.400
I believe, women have been
calling all across the globe

37:45.520 --> 37:47.240
to ask the Beatles to reunite.

37:47.440 --> 37:48.680
-Please.
-Oh!

37:50.680 --> 37:52.920
-This?
-This is just temporary, sir.

37:58.480 --> 37:59.480
Sir.

38:05.520 --> 38:06.920
And I am really sorry, sir.

38:07.000 --> 38:09.000
But the hotel is booked
at the capacity.

38:12.920 --> 38:14.600
When will you be able to pay
for the room?

38:14.760 --> 38:16.560
Oh, when the get the passport.

38:16.720 --> 38:18.360
Sir, that could take weeks.

38:18.520 --> 38:19.760
Sir, between you and me,

38:19.840 --> 38:23.440
if Jimmy sir agrees to extend
the line of credit for you…

38:23.840 --> 38:25.000
that could help.

38:43.000 --> 38:45.160
Lovely! But, Gaurav sir...

38:46.080 --> 38:47.240
You must tell me.

38:47.960 --> 38:48.960
-Jimmy!

38:49.760 --> 38:53.160
It’s amazing what you’ve turned
this place into!

38:54.160 --> 38:57.560
I mean, no disrespect to
Skyroom or Mags.

38:57.640 --> 38:59.040
Forget Lahore.

38:59.120 --> 39:00.800
But, this place?

39:01.600 --> 39:03.520
The vibe rivals any joint in London!

39:03.600 --> 39:05.160
-You'd know, Mr. Alvarez!

39:05.240 --> 39:09.560
-Oh, man! You won’t believe
the discounts Arora is offering.

39:09.640 --> 39:11.400
-I hope you’re not taking it up.

39:11.520 --> 39:13.200
-Are you crazy?

39:13.600 --> 39:15.920
Leave the apartment given by
the agency to move here?

39:16.000 --> 39:17.000
-Hmm.

39:17.160 --> 39:20.000
They are paying him well to report
on unrest in India.

39:20.720 --> 39:24.280
Since when did you become
a patriot, man? Huh?

39:25.280 --> 39:27.560
Look, it’s not personal.

39:27.920 --> 39:30.200
I’m just Lahore’s point of view,

39:30.320 --> 39:32.600
doing his job for a world audience.

39:32.720 --> 39:34.840
We're both stateless vendors,
you know.

39:35.560 --> 39:38.480
I sell news, you sell addiction.

39:38.920 --> 39:42.360
Well, as long as Jazz city
continues to be your party central,

39:42.520 --> 39:43.760
who is complaining?

39:43.960 --> 39:45.160
God willing.

39:46.080 --> 39:47.440
-Come home someday.
-Hmm.

39:48.520 --> 39:50.120
And on that, a double!

39:50.680 --> 39:53.120
Oh! One double for Mr. Richard

39:53.200 --> 39:56.120
and one on the house
for Mr. Holbrooke.

39:56.280 --> 39:57.600
Ah, let me introduce you.

39:58.080 --> 40:00.040
Mr. Holbrooke... is an engineer.

40:00.120 --> 40:02.720
Uh, the poor guy has been going
from pillar to post

40:02.800 --> 40:04.320
to retrieve his passport.

40:04.400 --> 40:05.840
But you know
how things are here.

40:05.920 --> 40:07.480
-Hmm.
-That reminds me.

40:07.560 --> 40:10.920
I hear, Sheela madam too has been
doing pillar to post these days.

40:11.080 --> 40:12.600
She had come to our office.

40:12.680 --> 40:16.840
But you know, cash flow has been
tight since nationalization.

40:17.160 --> 40:19.560
Everyone is being close-fisted.

40:19.640 --> 40:21.760
-She came to Lloyds too.
-Oh.

40:21.920 --> 40:24.920
I heard she's collecting donations
for some Pakistani politician.

40:25.000 --> 40:27.920
I’m not sure,
that Bengali professor...

40:28.000 --> 40:29.840
His name is Shamsur I think...

40:29.960 --> 40:32.320
I told her,
if you want to do a fundraiser…

40:33.720 --> 40:37.080
Jimmy, uh, I was wondering
if I could stay for about two weeks.

40:38.600 --> 40:40.400
My coffers are empty, Mr. Holbrooke.

40:40.520 --> 40:43.960
But… Miss Bose has become
a benefactor for all.

40:44.160 --> 40:47.920
Um, but we still do have
a problem, George.

40:48.120 --> 40:50.280
You're a very rich, white man!

40:50.440 --> 40:51.960
I am employable.

40:52.040 --> 40:55.560
If you could just find something
for an engineer.

40:55.720 --> 40:57.880
Maybe until we get my passport.

40:57.960 --> 41:00.640
Or, my wire transfer comes through.

41:01.640 --> 41:02.640
-Excuse me.

41:03.880 --> 41:06.000
What kind of engineer are you?

41:06.200 --> 41:07.560
-Mostly, civil.

41:07.720 --> 41:10.120
Okay, I have something
that might interest you.

41:10.280 --> 41:12.320
It can cover your room and boarding.

41:13.280 --> 41:14.480
I am Sinha.

41:14.640 --> 41:15.640
And you are?

41:16.120 --> 41:17.920
-George.
-George. Nice to meet you.

41:18.040 --> 41:19.960
Would you be interested
in a game of chess?

41:20.040 --> 41:21.040
Oh…

41:23.080 --> 41:25.080
It feels like playing with royalty.

41:32.800 --> 41:34.000
Good luck, George.

41:34.080 --> 41:35.320
-Thank you.
-See him out.

41:35.400 --> 41:36.400
-Sir.

41:42.560 --> 41:43.760
Have a good day, sir.

41:53.120 --> 41:54.960
Chef, table eight, appetizer pickup.

41:55.240 --> 41:57.440
-Right, sir...
-Good morning, Gauri.

41:58.360 --> 42:01.080
Chef Samuel, table 11
has passed his compliments to you.

42:01.280 --> 42:02.720
-Thank you, thank you.

42:03.520 --> 42:05.240
-This is the appetizer.
-Oh, yes.

42:06.320 --> 42:09.200
Yes, Michael? You were looking
for me? Had something to ask?

42:09.360 --> 42:10.520
Uh, yes, sir...

42:11.360 --> 42:14.600
If I & Gauri could leave
a bit early on 21st evening…

42:14.760 --> 42:16.240
I already told my substitute player.

42:16.320 --> 42:17.640
21st…

42:19.160 --> 42:20.680
That’s a Saturday, Michael.

42:21.240 --> 42:22.640
What are you saying!

42:23.840 --> 42:25.920
We have the busiest dinners
on Saturdays, right?

42:26.000 --> 42:30.400
How can we manage without the chef?
I can manage without a trumpet.

42:30.480 --> 42:32.440
But I'll lose my job
if we compromise on food.

42:32.520 --> 42:36.640
She'll arrange everything before
going. Trust me, won't be a problem.

42:36.720 --> 42:38.960
It would’ve been different
had someone been ill.

42:39.040 --> 42:42.200
But… it’s a Saturday evening,
Michael. Can't help it.

42:42.280 --> 42:43.520
Chef, table 12, please.

42:52.400 --> 42:54.800
Six point, Six point!

42:55.200 --> 42:56.880
Read & spread the word!

42:56.960 --> 43:00.680
Read & spread the word!
Six point! Six point!

43:01.120 --> 43:02.920
Know your reality!

43:03.200 --> 43:05.240
Understand your own history!

43:05.760 --> 43:08.160
Six point! Six point!

43:08.920 --> 43:10.800
It shouldn’t have come to this.

43:11.400 --> 43:13.120
If you could talk to Mujib…

43:14.320 --> 43:15.960
The problem isn’t Mujib.

43:17.680 --> 43:21.200
The problem is… bloody Gandhi!

43:21.920 --> 43:22.920
Sir?

43:27.800 --> 43:30.800
We had instigated the Kashmiris
hoping that

43:30.880 --> 43:33.640
India will attack us from the east.

43:34.120 --> 43:37.160
We wanted to keep India busy
with tension at various borders.

43:37.600 --> 43:40.760
A massacre would have balanced
the Bengali-Urdu ratio.

43:41.440 --> 43:43.840
Buggers didn’t attack the Bengalis.

43:44.280 --> 43:47.160
Skinny dwarfs sat like
sitting ducks. But…

43:51.160 --> 43:53.720
They are just physically with us.

43:54.280 --> 43:55.320
Not in spirit.

43:57.160 --> 44:00.240
That’s always been with Tagore,
with Gandhi…

44:05.800 --> 44:09.360
“We place our humble offerings
at Your feet,

44:10.200 --> 44:12.800
we’ll not buy from others,

44:13.480 --> 44:16.320
we rest our noose
on Your ornate words.

44:16.400 --> 44:20.560
Oh my golden Bangla, I adore You!”

44:28.800 --> 44:31.200
-Is table no. 5 ready?
They've been waiting.

44:31.280 --> 44:34.440
-I've told them.
-VIP guest. Don't make them wait.

44:34.680 --> 44:35.800
-What's the order?
-Done?

44:35.960 --> 44:36.920
-Yes.

44:38.600 --> 44:41.800
What’s the occasion?
You look all decked up!

44:42.040 --> 44:44.400
-Husband & wife
have a date tonight!

44:45.160 --> 44:47.160
No sir, we’re going
to Rabindra Maidan.

44:47.240 --> 44:49.720
We have received an order
for tea & samosas.

44:49.920 --> 44:50.920
Samosas?

44:51.200 --> 44:52.280
Who ordered it?

44:52.360 --> 44:53.440
-Um, Sheela ma’am.

44:55.160 --> 44:56.160
Ah.

44:57.160 --> 44:58.800
Are you a chef or confectioner?

44:59.960 --> 45:02.040
-It’s a big order, sir.
-Yeah, right.

45:02.320 --> 45:04.920
She was looking for you,
but you were out. So…

45:05.800 --> 45:09.160
A programme at Rabindra Maidan, sir.
A big fest. Many people attending.

45:09.240 --> 45:11.360
-There will be singing & recitation.
-Hmm!

45:11.840 --> 45:13.960
One Bengali is a film critic.

45:14.320 --> 45:16.040
Two, are a political Party.

45:16.200 --> 45:18.880
And when it's three of them,
it's Language Movement!

45:18.960 --> 45:21.240
Sir! Call from your residence.

45:29.160 --> 45:31.880
-Where is he?
-I had gone for a bath.

45:31.960 --> 45:36.240
Master was listening to the radio.
I returned to find the door ajar...

45:37.560 --> 45:39.320
You are useless!

45:40.000 --> 45:42.600
-Useless? What do you mean?

45:43.280 --> 45:46.880
You two, father & son
are driving me crazy!

45:46.960 --> 45:50.320
Think you can treat me as you like?
Why aren’t you available on call?

45:50.400 --> 45:51.400
Huh?

45:51.600 --> 45:52.640
-Do as you wish!
-Oh!

45:54.880 --> 45:56.160
-What is it again?

45:57.640 --> 45:59.240
-Ah.
-Lock the door.

45:59.320 --> 46:02.400
Hey, be careful… don’t run…

46:13.920 --> 46:14.920
Dad…

46:15.840 --> 46:17.760
Excuse me, please move…

46:18.120 --> 46:19.120
Excuse me.

46:20.000 --> 46:22.440
-Dad?
-Why are you pushing?

46:22.840 --> 46:25.360
-Which stoppage?
-You took a bus again?

46:25.440 --> 46:27.920
Why are you misbehaving
with your father?

46:28.000 --> 46:29.560
Please mind your own business.

46:34.760 --> 46:35.760
Ah.

46:36.040 --> 46:37.320
What will I do with you!

46:40.080 --> 46:43.120
Don’t you have any change?

46:43.360 --> 46:45.240
Bhasha Shahid ground.

46:45.400 --> 46:46.520
Keep the change.

46:46.760 --> 46:48.560
What a rude young man!

46:49.560 --> 46:52.120
Can’t take care of his father,
but has to showoff his status on a bus!

46:52.200 --> 46:53.320
Bloody nonsense!

46:53.480 --> 46:56.360
Hello, Mr. Tie! Don’t say “bloody”!

46:56.440 --> 46:58.880
You’ll forget your father’s name
if we start abusing.

46:58.960 --> 47:00.320
Please go ahead.

47:00.400 --> 47:04.840
Anyway he can’t remember anything.
That will balance it out. Come on?

47:05.880 --> 47:09.480
Hey, didn’t I tell you to do this?
Please put the mic up there.

47:09.600 --> 47:12.080
- Sure.
-Place the harmonium centrally.

47:12.240 --> 47:14.120
-Did they give you water?
-Yes, ma'am.

47:14.640 --> 47:17.760
-At the centre. Place it correctly. Yes.

47:19.560 --> 47:21.200
-He was on the bus already.

47:21.320 --> 47:22.800
-Uncle!

47:23.200 --> 47:24.440
What a surprise!

47:24.560 --> 47:27.200
-21st February is painted red
with my brothers’ blood!

47:27.280 --> 47:29.280
-How could I ever forget?
-Please come.

47:29.440 --> 47:33.760
Just a half an hour time difference
between Dhaka & Calcutta. Right?

47:34.640 --> 47:36.560
-Hello, ma’am.
-Hello, Ram Bahadur. How are you?

47:36.720 --> 47:39.520
-I'm good.
-No problem at work I hope?

47:39.600 --> 47:41.160
-Not at all, ma’am.
-May I sit here?

47:41.240 --> 47:42.280
Sure.

47:44.200 --> 47:47.600
What problem would he have?
Don't I take care of my own people?

47:48.080 --> 47:49.760
Ah, good!

47:50.200 --> 47:53.800
You’re starting to think of them
as your own. Good progress.

47:54.760 --> 47:58.480
Had you told me instead of Michael,
I’d have put up a live counter here.

47:58.640 --> 48:00.080
-Hmm. Right.

48:02.160 --> 48:06.240
We will sing the 21st February song
a bit differently this time.

48:06.320 --> 48:08.520
In Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury's words...

48:08.680 --> 48:11.000
-You want something?
-No, you go ahead.

48:11.200 --> 48:13.600
-...with utmost respect to
all languages,

48:13.600 --> 48:17.640
our languages and dialects
that have gone extinct...

48:17.800 --> 48:20.520
I’m not even surprised
when I bump into you now.

48:20.600 --> 48:23.520
-Oh, I came to say thank you
to you.

48:23.640 --> 48:24.640
Is it?

48:25.520 --> 48:27.880
Don’t forget about me
when the riverside hotel gets made.

48:27.920 --> 48:29.080
-Hmm...

48:29.160 --> 48:31.560
It’s tough to forget you, Mr. Roy.

48:31.720 --> 48:33.560
-Hmm. That’s true.

48:35.080 --> 48:36.080
See you.

48:48.040 --> 48:53.760
Painted red with the colour
of my brother's blood

48:54.040 --> 48:57.880
21st February

48:59.960 --> 49:04.640
How can I ever forget this day?

49:06.120 --> 49:11.840
Painted red with the colour
of my brother's blood

49:12.080 --> 49:15.960
21st February

49:18.040 --> 49:22.840
How can I ever forget this day?

49:40.520 --> 49:43.560
-Sir, the Bengali servants
are on leave.

49:48.000 --> 49:49.000
Steward!

49:49.880 --> 49:50.880
Secretary!

49:51.360 --> 49:52.800
Where the hell is everybody!

49:57.320 --> 49:58.320
Sir…

50:17.440 --> 50:18.440
Sir.

50:20.440 --> 50:22.160
They were not permitted.

50:22.720 --> 50:24.040
But they still went off.

50:26.280 --> 50:27.720
I’ll arrange it.

50:44.360 --> 50:45.600
Sir, tea.

50:48.160 --> 50:49.160
Sir?

51:13.720 --> 51:19.440
Painted red with the colour
of my brother's blood

51:20.160 --> 51:24.000
21st February

51:26.240 --> 51:30.640
How can I ever forget?

51:50.320 --> 51:54.320
-Artists only have blessings
& best wishes to offer.

51:55.600 --> 51:57.720
A fundraiser needs a solid plan.

51:57.840 --> 51:59.920
A glamorous program.

52:02.960 --> 52:05.840
A list of wealthy donors,
a stellar venue.

52:06.920 --> 52:08.080
Should I look into it?

52:19.000 --> 52:21.840
People will want to put their
money where their heart is!

52:22.080 --> 52:23.560
-Wow.
-And…

52:23.720 --> 52:26.200
I thought you always
think from your brain.

52:26.360 --> 52:31.200
The fact that you still have
a heart… well, that’s news!

52:31.400 --> 52:32.400
-Aha?
