00:26.560 --> 00:31.040
Here, where they have
given their lives under the gulmohar tree,

00:31.160 --> 00:34.640
where rangolis burn
like specks of fire,

00:34.880 --> 00:36.680
here I stand, not to cry over it!

00:36.920 --> 00:40.480
I am not weary of grief!
I stand firm by my oath!

00:40.720 --> 00:44.600
Those who have orphaned children,

00:44.880 --> 00:47.320
those who killed
my numerous brothers & sisters,

00:47.400 --> 00:51.440
those who tried to snatch away my
centuries-old mother language & culture,

00:51.440 --> 00:53.200
and killed my brothers and sisters for it

00:53.440 --> 00:56.000
I come here demanding,
they should be hung by their necks!

00:56.080 --> 00:58.600
I'm here today to demand
death penalty!

00:58.680 --> 01:01.480
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

01:01.560 --> 01:04.000
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

01:04.080 --> 01:06.200
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

01:08.200 --> 01:12.400
-Because of you, their 18-year-old
slogan comes alive again.

01:13.000 --> 01:15.440
-Had I not done it,
it would’ve led to more violence.

01:15.520 --> 01:17.520
An agreement with Mujib
is on the cards.

01:18.240 --> 01:20.640
It’s not wise to provoke
the Bengalis at this time.

01:20.760 --> 01:23.720
It’s a trivial matter, General.
Just keep it off the newspapers.

01:23.920 --> 01:25.720
It’s not always so simple!

01:26.600 --> 01:28.440
Yes, it is!

01:29.160 --> 01:31.600
One of the points
in their six-point proposal is

01:31.680 --> 01:32.960
that they want to be sent back!

01:33.040 --> 01:35.320
And you’re worried
about provoking them?

01:37.000 --> 01:40.400
These traitors need to be
terrorized of the Pathans.

01:42.480 --> 01:45.040
It is that simple.

01:45.480 --> 01:47.200
(crockery clinking softly)

01:47.440 --> 01:51.680
For those who laid down their lives
for bhatiali, kirtan, ghazal, baul!

01:52.280 --> 01:58.000
For Nazrul’s lines: My Motherland,
purer than the purest gold!

01:59.120 --> 02:04.120
In the field of Ramna,
amidst numerous dead petals…

02:05.040 --> 02:10.520
amidst forty young lives
& budding futures, I can see it!

02:11.720 --> 02:14.160
I can see an ocean of blood
in their sacrifices!

02:14.800 --> 02:17.640
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:19.000 --> 02:21.840
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:22.600 --> 02:25.480
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:25.560 --> 02:27.640
(tense music)

02:27.800 --> 02:30.640
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:32.160 --> 02:35.000
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:36.400 --> 02:39.280
Not here to cry!
Here to demand death penalty!

02:45.320 --> 02:46.440
It's nice.

03:10.480 --> 03:11.640
-Sir, Mr. Kapoor called up.

03:11.720 --> 03:13.840
They want to book a table
for three packs.

03:14.080 --> 03:16.560
And Mr. Das for eight packs
at 8 p.m. today.

03:17.280 --> 03:18.400
-Can I confirm?
-Sir?

03:18.480 --> 03:19.640
No, I will just…

03:19.760 --> 03:20.880
Sheela madam has come.

03:23.360 --> 03:24.240
-Hmm.

03:30.920 --> 03:33.320
(door opening, shutting) Yes, ma’am!

03:33.480 --> 03:34.480
Tell me!

03:35.280 --> 03:36.800
What can I do for y-

03:39.360 --> 03:40.360
Hey?

03:42.760 --> 03:44.040
Sheela, you okay?

03:47.200 --> 03:48.360
Kaberi’s friend.

03:49.280 --> 03:51.000
Suman. Suman Choudhury.

03:51.120 --> 03:52.120
Yes.

03:52.880 --> 03:53.920
Brilliant student!

03:54.160 --> 03:55.920
He was to accompany Professor.

03:57.520 --> 03:59.200
Okay… What happened?

04:00.160 --> 04:04.480
The army beat him to death
openly on the streets!

04:05.720 --> 04:08.080
And you know
what the newspapers say?

04:08.560 --> 04:10.880
A “minor clash”!
Can you imagine that?

04:10.960 --> 04:15.080
-Hmm…
-No one cares one bit about it!

04:15.840 --> 04:19.280
And what are we doing here, Jimmy?
For whom?

04:19.360 --> 04:20.920
Calm down, calm down.

04:21.440 --> 04:23.280
You can’t break down like this.

04:23.880 --> 04:29.240
You know, you have to scream
your words aloud. So loudly that…

04:29.560 --> 04:32.720
it reaches every corner,
every ear of the nation!

04:32.840 --> 04:35.000
Their sacrifice can’t go in vain,
right?

04:36.200 --> 04:38.200
We have o tell the press about it.

04:39.640 --> 04:42.200
We’ll get the who’s who
of the film world.

04:43.680 --> 04:45.720
Business people, editors.

04:46.240 --> 04:47.920
You haven’t changed your plan,
right?

04:48.000 --> 04:49.240
-Mhm.
-Hmm.

04:50.560 --> 04:53.240
We’ll need funds. Lots of it.

04:53.880 --> 04:56.680
Roaming the streets begging
for it won’t help.

04:57.680 --> 04:59.520
Not your typical charity thing.

04:59.720 --> 05:01.960
We’ve to arrange
for good entertainment.

05:02.480 --> 05:05.720
So that the richest of the rich
in the city gladly pour into it.

05:05.800 --> 05:08.320
You know, it’s like,
buy a six course meal

05:08.400 --> 05:10.360
with a moral high ground for free.

05:10.480 --> 05:11.480
Simple.

05:18.480 --> 05:19.480
Sir.

05:21.600 --> 05:23.040
Any news of those boys?

05:23.200 --> 05:24.200
Not yet, sir.

05:25.320 --> 05:28.240
They are hiding in Calcutta,
according to our intel.

05:29.280 --> 05:30.720
Remember Shamsur Rehman?

05:31.360 --> 05:32.880
He used to visit Mujib in prison.

05:33.000 --> 05:34.000
-Sure.

05:34.560 --> 05:36.640
-He is visiting Calcutta
for a fundraiser.

05:37.240 --> 05:40.080
Those boys will surely
try to get in touch with him.

05:40.160 --> 05:42.520
Find them, bring them back alive.

05:43.080 --> 05:44.080
Sir.

05:44.920 --> 05:46.840
(tense music rising)

05:52.880 --> 05:53.960
Take this.

05:54.880 --> 05:57.240
How long will we continue
like this? Tell me?

05:57.360 --> 06:00.000
I don’t know.
We’ve to arrange for jobs.

06:00.880 --> 06:03.560
The landlord gave us
another reminder.

06:03.760 --> 06:05.840
Brother, any news from home?

06:06.880 --> 06:08.720
-The Khan sena is still lurking.

06:08.800 --> 06:12.280
They’ll possibly come here
to look as well. Sniffer dogs.

06:12.840 --> 06:14.200
We won’t get caught.

06:14.840 --> 06:18.440
Our bodies might,
our hearts never will.

06:26.720 --> 06:28.600
-They didn't write a word on it.

06:28.680 --> 06:30.680
-What did you expect?

06:31.240 --> 06:32.720
The martial law is on.

06:32.880 --> 06:35.840
When have newspapers in Lahore
written about us?

06:36.360 --> 06:37.400
Huh?

06:37.960 --> 06:39.920
Do our lives matter to them?

06:41.560 --> 06:42.560
I don’t know…

06:44.520 --> 06:46.280
-Nothing on the radio either.

06:46.520 --> 06:48.120
-The radio is important.

06:49.160 --> 06:53.480
Not everyone can read;
the radio reaches millions!

06:54.760 --> 06:57.040
And don't you remember
about Azad Hind Radio?

06:58.040 --> 06:59.120
Yes...

07:00.120 --> 07:04.720
Someone tried to awaken Bengalis
in this same way a few years ago.

07:06.160 --> 07:08.440
She recited poems, sang songs...

07:09.560 --> 07:11.080
Remember Sakina Banu?

07:12.040 --> 07:13.000
Huh?

07:13.320 --> 07:15.280
Her body was shredded with bullets.

07:15.920 --> 07:18.160
We didn't even get to see
her corpse.

07:18.240 --> 07:19.800
(somber music)

07:19.960 --> 07:22.600
They don’t even let us
sing Rabinsangeet,

07:22.920 --> 07:25.560
and you'll teach them
the banes of the martial law?

07:27.120 --> 07:29.120
You make me laugh, brother.

07:31.680 --> 07:36.960
Will you speak to
Mr. Debdulal of Akashvani?

07:38.320 --> 07:40.480
We must have
a radio station of our own.

07:41.080 --> 07:43.600
So that our voices can reach Dhaka
from Calcutta.

07:43.680 --> 07:46.080
Well, but how do we make it happen?

07:46.160 --> 07:48.600
Do we have the money?
The technology?

07:49.160 --> 07:51.720
Can't even afford to print
pamphlets! Outlandish!

07:51.800 --> 07:53.720
Don't suggest outlandish things!

07:54.680 --> 07:57.320
We need to meet the editor
of Jugantor and ask him

07:57.720 --> 08:01.920
if he can have someone interview
Suman's friends or family there...

08:02.880 --> 08:06.600
The incident needs to be reported.
We can't allow a cover up!

08:07.240 --> 08:09.880
(rice boiling)

08:11.920 --> 08:14.080
(dramatic music)

08:28.520 --> 08:29.720
-Please come, sir.

08:30.280 --> 08:33.200
-Careful.
-Strange opening of the shaft.

08:33.480 --> 08:35.600
-Yes.
-Well, I don't know...

08:35.720 --> 08:38.640
What if it starts to rain
and the water seeps in...

08:38.760 --> 08:40.240
through the tunnel?

08:40.320 --> 08:43.520
But this is the opening, right, sir?

08:43.600 --> 08:46.480
We’ll need to do piling
before you go any further...

08:46.680 --> 08:48.240
That means it's fixable, right?

08:48.400 --> 08:50.160
I’m not sure…

08:50.400 --> 08:54.520
But why... what exactly are you
expecting to excavate?

08:55.360 --> 08:58.240
Why?
Why can't we move to another spot?

08:58.400 --> 08:59.760
We can't.

09:00.280 --> 09:02.720
-Perhaps we can find another way.
-Mr. Holbrooke.

09:03.520 --> 09:04.600
Mr. Holbrooke,

09:04.760 --> 09:07.160
maybe you should find out
when your passport is coming?

09:14.120 --> 09:15.120
Sir?

09:15.240 --> 09:16.920
Seen the things that Jimmy is doing?

09:18.320 --> 09:20.680
Printing our politics
on restaurant menus of Park Street.

09:20.840 --> 09:22.040
Yes...

09:22.480 --> 09:24.800
As if his patriotism is
overflowing from champagne bottles

09:26.200 --> 09:28.080
It's just business, that’s all.

09:28.400 --> 09:31.160
Why care, sir,
as long as our job gets done?

09:34.320 --> 09:36.120
You still won’t tell him?

09:36.320 --> 09:39.320
What we’re making him do & why,
that's none of his business.

09:40.080 --> 09:43.760
And if his business profits from it,
that's none of our business.

09:46.600 --> 09:49.120
Professor’s security should be
absolutely tight.

09:49.640 --> 09:51.720
-Hmm.
-Let the programme happen.

09:52.600 --> 09:54.840
But it shouldn’t cause us
any embarrassment.

09:57.200 --> 09:58.680
Everyone will be tracking him.

09:59.880 --> 10:02.160
ISI, US intelligence, everyone.

10:03.840 --> 10:07.320
His stay and security
is your responsibility.

10:09.280 --> 10:10.720
-Don't worry, sir.

10:19.720 --> 10:21.720
(hopeful music)

10:24.760 --> 10:26.480
Greetings, Shamsur da.

10:29.640 --> 10:30.800
Bless you.

10:35.440 --> 10:37.720
How’s the cholera situation?

10:38.040 --> 10:39.400
Not good, Shamsur da.

10:42.440 --> 10:43.600
Can we go there?

10:43.760 --> 10:46.120
Yes, sure, I'll take you there.

10:49.680 --> 10:52.680
How do you think
the fundraiser will turn out?

10:53.440 --> 10:55.520
Don’t worry, Shamsur da.

10:56.280 --> 10:58.840
-I have come with a lot of hope.
-Yes, I know.

10:59.520 --> 11:02.280
We are planning quite a huge
fundraiser at Jazz City.

11:02.680 --> 11:06.400
Rich Bengalis keep frequenting it.
You know…

11:07.680 --> 11:08.840
Don't worry.

11:22.920 --> 11:24.640
(car approaching)

11:36.040 --> 11:38.160
-Welcome! Welcome to Calcutta!

11:39.520 --> 11:42.120
-Assalam Walaikum, sir.
-Walaikum Assalam, Mrs. Bose.

11:42.320 --> 11:45.520
Shamsur, come to my place.
I have set up everything over there.

11:45.600 --> 11:49.240
But Shamsur da had asked me
to arrange for his lodging here...

11:50.400 --> 11:51.840
What are you doing?

11:52.400 --> 11:54.520
Driver, put the luggage in my car.

11:55.720 --> 11:59.280
What are you saying, Ali sahib!
How did I become a state guest?

12:00.680 --> 12:04.760
I know you'd rather keep me
as a permanent guest at jail!

12:06.000 --> 12:11.920
The Pak Government sent you
to receive a mere opposition leader?

12:12.680 --> 12:14.800
Unbelievable!

12:14.960 --> 12:16.440
Forgive me, Mrs. Bose.

12:16.640 --> 12:19.120
This in fact is unbelievable.

12:19.360 --> 12:20.960
No one told me to do anything.

12:22.280 --> 12:26.160
Do you mind having lunch
with your civil servant friend?

12:27.400 --> 12:29.960
-Can I be honest, Ali sahib?
-Go on.

12:30.760 --> 12:33.160
I do mind. (reflective music)

12:33.360 --> 12:38.160
Can't have lunch with a man whose
hand is drenched in Suman's blood!

12:38.320 --> 12:41.240
If you were in my place,
you'd feel the same.

12:41.320 --> 12:44.360
What have I got to do
with what happened to Suman?

12:44.440 --> 12:46.640
Come to my place, let's talk there.

12:46.720 --> 12:47.680
No.

12:48.080 --> 12:49.440
No, Mr. Ali.

12:49.680 --> 12:50.920
Please leave.

12:51.520 --> 12:55.800
I don't want us both
to be inconvenienced.

12:56.600 --> 12:58.400
Oh, yes...

12:58.640 --> 13:03.040
We're holding a fundraiser
at Jazz City. Do come if you can.

13:03.240 --> 13:05.000
Let’s go, Mrs. Bose.

13:05.240 --> 13:07.720
Please call me Sheela, Shamsur da.

13:07.920 --> 13:08.960
Come.

13:10.040 --> 13:13.840
Shamsur...
they are waiting for you at home.

13:15.880 --> 13:18.920
Kindly convey my apologies
to Mariam Apa.

13:19.400 --> 13:19.520
My blessings to Abbas.

13:19.520 --> 13:21.840
My blessings to Abbas.

13:23.320 --> 13:25.080
I send him my love.

13:25.320 --> 13:26.760
And yes...

13:27.440 --> 13:29.440
Does he still draw?

13:30.480 --> 13:31.920
How old is he now?

13:31.960 --> 13:32.960
21.

13:35.440 --> 13:38.920
Suman would've turned 21
in two months.

13:40.040 --> 13:43.240
They could've been great friends…

13:43.800 --> 13:45.320
Great friends!

13:45.560 --> 13:47.720
(pensive music)

14:00.840 --> 14:02.120
-I need to make a call.

14:07.560 --> 14:09.400
(phone ringing)

14:10.520 --> 14:11.800
Yes, who do you want?

14:12.360 --> 14:14.960
Shyamal, there's a call for you.

14:15.600 --> 14:18.560
(suspenseful music)

14:18.960 --> 14:20.200
Yes.

14:21.400 --> 14:23.000
(phone ringing)

14:34.920 --> 14:36.640
-Note down the address.

14:52.560 --> 14:55.920
O traveler

14:57.160 --> 15:02.760
Why do your weary limbs
still lie in slumber?

15:03.360 --> 15:09.200
Awaken—
the birds are stirring awake

15:10.880 --> 15:12.480
What are you thinking, Shamsur da?

15:12.560 --> 15:13.480
-Hmm?

15:19.960 --> 15:24.280
Never imagined I'll have to come to
a different country

15:24.840 --> 15:27.480
to listen to our own songs...

15:27.960 --> 15:30.960
We don't think Calcutta
is in a different country.

15:31.560 --> 15:36.760
Forget it. You have hardly eaten…
You'll fall sick like this. Hmm?

15:38.960 --> 15:42.000
You are just like
your younger sister.

15:42.840 --> 15:45.200
She too looks out for everyone.

15:46.520 --> 15:49.280
She worries about everyone.

15:51.560 --> 15:53.440
I'm alright, dear...

15:54.240 --> 15:55.720
Don’t worry about me.

15:56.680 --> 16:00.120
Fine. Please ask
if you need anything, okay?

16:00.320 --> 16:01.840
The library is upstairs.

16:03.360 --> 16:05.000
Shall I get you some curd?

16:05.400 --> 16:06.840
You might like it.

16:07.720 --> 16:11.080
(mysterious music)

16:29.080 --> 16:32.080
How do we do this from the roof?
Let’s go there & wait.

16:45.880 --> 16:46.880
-Sir?
-Sir...

16:46.920 --> 16:49.080
What are you doing here? Oh, no!

16:50.040 --> 16:51.640
-Sir...
-It's okay...

16:52.080 --> 16:53.200
-Joy Bangla, sir!

16:59.560 --> 17:00.880
-What are you doing here?

17:01.920 --> 17:03.280
-Huh?
-It’s a long story, sir.

17:03.360 --> 17:06.600
Whatever is happening in Bangladesh
should be conveyed to the world.

17:06.720 --> 17:08.640
-We have to do something…
-No.

17:09.360 --> 17:10.640
Not now.

17:11.120 --> 17:13.240
ISI spies are all around.

17:13.400 --> 17:16.360
If you get marked,
everything is over.

17:16.520 --> 17:19.080
Okay, sir. But we can act in secret.

17:19.160 --> 17:21.840
We could make a ham radio
with some training.

17:21.920 --> 17:23.760
We must spread awareness, sir.

17:23.840 --> 17:26.200
I can feel your frustration.

17:26.280 --> 17:28.760
But there's a time for everything.

17:29.000 --> 17:32.360
This Park Street fundraiser
is meant to spread awareness.

17:32.600 --> 17:34.360
Remember one thing.

17:34.480 --> 17:39.760
It is a priority that Bongobondhu
contests and wins the elections.

17:40.040 --> 17:43.360
Before that, no one must have
any idea about you people. Got it?

17:43.400 --> 17:46.040
The radio station will happen!
It sure will!

17:47.440 --> 17:49.960
Tell Sheela madam
if you need anything, okay?

17:50.080 --> 17:51.720
Now get going.

17:51.800 --> 17:53.160
Joy Bangla!

17:53.240 --> 17:55.880
-Which floor are they on?
-Third floor, sir.

17:56.480 --> 17:58.040
Can you peep inside?

17:58.200 --> 17:59.920
Didn't see much yet.

18:02.440 --> 18:03.960
How will you go?

18:04.080 --> 18:06.240
The same way we came.
Climbing the pipe.

18:06.360 --> 18:08.000
No, wait a minute.

18:11.760 --> 18:14.720
Listen, don't go back
the way you came.

18:14.840 --> 18:18.400
Go downstairs and exit
from the back gate. Go, go!

18:21.680 --> 18:24.520
(suspenseful music intensifying)

18:42.200 --> 18:43.880
-Mushtaq.
-Yes.

18:43.960 --> 18:45.880
Watch him 24/7. Okay?

18:45.960 --> 18:46.960
-Hmm...

18:47.040 --> 18:49.760
-Whoever comes, identify,
keep a watch.

18:49.840 --> 18:51.080
-Yes, sir.

18:53.960 --> 18:57.800
(phone ringing)
Hurry up, they'll be coming soon.

18:59.960 --> 19:01.360
Hello... Bangabhaban.

19:01.440 --> 19:04.200
All okay?
Shall I send in more people?

19:04.720 --> 19:07.080
No, it’s okay.
Take care of things at your end.

19:07.160 --> 19:08.760
-Okay.
-Listen...

19:08.880 --> 19:09.920
-Hmm.

19:10.080 --> 19:12.960
-The head count may go up a bit.
-That's okay, I'll manage.

19:13.040 --> 19:14.280
-Thank you.

19:18.480 --> 19:21.480
(soft jazz playing)

19:24.120 --> 19:26.520
-Mr. Singh?
-Yes, Mr. Lobo?

19:26.600 --> 19:30.520
The usuals, or do we have to
tone down the fun quotient?

19:30.600 --> 19:33.440
No, you don't need to tone down
anything, the usuals will be fine.

19:33.520 --> 19:36.520
It’s the same guests
from the big parties.

19:36.600 --> 19:37.760
-Cool.

19:41.040 --> 19:42.240
-Where’s the diva?

19:44.520 --> 19:47.720
She knows the set list. Will be
down for here sound check anytime.

19:48.880 --> 19:50.120
Please carry on.

19:53.320 --> 19:56.720
That’s nice...
Great. See you in the evening.

19:57.480 --> 19:58.520
Bye.

20:02.320 --> 20:04.400
I made a few copies
of the press release.

20:04.480 --> 20:06.760
-Hmm.
-You have carbon paper, dear?

20:06.920 --> 20:10.200
Let me type it out then.
We have time, right?

20:10.400 --> 20:12.400
Almost all newspapers are informed.

20:12.480 --> 20:14.080
We've someone flying in
from abroad too.

20:14.240 --> 20:15.240
Excellent!

20:16.240 --> 20:19.720
We really needed these letters
from these companies too.

20:20.280 --> 20:22.640
What more can I tell you?

20:22.720 --> 20:25.560
You have put in everything
from your trunk of treasure.

20:25.640 --> 20:27.360
Oh, it's nothing.

20:27.640 --> 20:30.240
But a lot of the credit
goes to Jazz City.

20:30.320 --> 20:31.360
-True.

20:31.840 --> 20:34.760
-You'll see,
you will succeed in your objective.

20:34.880 --> 20:36.800
Many businessmen will be coming.

20:36.880 --> 20:39.120
You can speak to them in person.

20:39.480 --> 20:41.160
-Please excuse me.
-Sure.

20:42.560 --> 20:44.360
(phone ringing)

20:45.520 --> 20:47.240
Excuse me...

20:49.560 --> 20:50.760
Bangabhaban?

21:02.640 --> 21:05.160
There are just two doors
we’ll need to watch.

21:07.200 --> 21:11.280
-But how do we know
who's coming to meet whom...

21:11.880 --> 21:15.680
-Obviously, the important visitors
will come during the day.

21:16.040 --> 21:19.560
The press will also be there…
along will old friends.

21:19.840 --> 21:22.160
-The one's were looking for
will come in the dark.

21:22.240 --> 21:24.080
-Hmm, good for us.

21:26.880 --> 21:29.040
Even if they disappear,
no one will notice.

21:29.200 --> 21:31.000
What if the boys don’t turn up?

21:31.080 --> 21:32.200
Then the professor...

21:33.880 --> 21:36.440
We take him on the way back
from Jazz City.

21:40.120 --> 21:42.880
But he’s under strict
police protection.

21:43.000 --> 21:46.280
We need a replica of his car,
same colour, same model.

21:50.200 --> 21:52.320
Who will stay inside the hotel?

21:52.440 --> 21:55.800
I keep frequenting it, sir.
With my plus ones.

22:11.640 --> 22:13.080
(phone ringing)

22:13.840 --> 22:15.200
-Hello?
-Sir...

22:15.360 --> 22:18.960
he wants to go to the jute mill
from here. Around 3 p.m.

22:19.160 --> 22:20.920
Wait, let me write it down.

22:23.320 --> 22:24.840
Jute mill...

22:26.560 --> 22:27.960
3 p.m.

22:28.040 --> 22:29.320
-Right, sir.
-Okay.

22:29.400 --> 22:30.520
-Bye.
-Hmm.

22:49.200 --> 22:50.520
-Chandu?
-Hmm?

22:54.040 --> 22:55.160
I'll take it.

22:57.200 --> 22:58.520
-You can go.
-Okay, sir.

23:02.280 --> 23:04.000
(knocking) Come in.

23:05.120 --> 23:07.640
I’m stitching up,
not buttoning down.

23:11.120 --> 23:13.680
I'm afraid, the presents
of the politicians bore me.

23:14.560 --> 23:18.000
They put on this face
of virtue and reticence...

23:18.320 --> 23:21.880
while their eyes scream,
they want to get on stage and dance.

23:22.160 --> 23:23.440
Poor things.

23:24.080 --> 23:26.640
At least I have makeup
to hide my disgust.

23:28.080 --> 23:29.960
Did Jimmy ever…?

23:30.040 --> 23:31.600
-No. Never.

23:32.760 --> 23:33.920
But others...

23:35.760 --> 23:37.640
Seen you sweat up a few times.

23:38.560 --> 23:39.560
-Me?

23:41.240 --> 23:42.240
Look at me.

23:42.840 --> 23:44.520
You are totally beyond my league!

23:48.480 --> 23:51.480
-Beneath the faux Anglo superiority,

23:53.680 --> 23:56.480
I’m a delicate sculpture
in an antique shop

23:56.560 --> 24:00.280
that no one wants to quite touch
due to fear of potential damages.

24:02.160 --> 24:04.680
You and I are one & the same,
Mr. Singh.

24:10.480 --> 24:12.640
I wanted to ask you something else.

24:12.880 --> 24:15.480
You have a lot of questions
for the ladies.

24:15.720 --> 24:18.960
Just because I don’t have
Michael staring down on me,

24:19.320 --> 24:21.360
doesn’t imply I don’t bite.

24:25.440 --> 24:28.400
Your skills on the sewing machine
is exemplary, Miss Menzes…

24:29.760 --> 24:33.160
Haven’t seen such craftsmanship
from where I come from…

24:33.720 --> 24:37.120
Well, single girl from my country...

24:38.160 --> 24:39.720
had to rely on other skills.

24:40.640 --> 24:42.360
Especially if I wanted to
survive a world

24:42.400 --> 24:44.920
where my father
wouldn't return post war!

24:45.000 --> 24:48.040
So, we, the Menzes sisters,

24:50.360 --> 24:52.080
we picked up whatever we could.

24:52.640 --> 24:55.560
(soft music) Morning choir practice
at the cathedral,

24:57.560 --> 24:59.400
St. Loreto’s House of Discipline...

25:01.760 --> 25:06.000
Supplementing Ma's arthritic hand to
ensure the orders got out on time.

25:07.400 --> 25:09.080
Applying the falls,

25:09.600 --> 25:11.040
the alterations...

25:13.720 --> 25:15.800
and for the adventurous ladies...

25:18.640 --> 25:20.280
well, some adventure.

25:32.560 --> 25:34.920
It’s music that saved me.

25:36.680 --> 25:38.480
But who will save you?

25:40.560 --> 25:43.640
Now, if you’ll excuse me,
Mr. Singh...

25:47.040 --> 25:48.840
I must get changed now.

25:49.280 --> 25:50.440
Of course.

26:03.760 --> 26:08.000
And East Pakistan should have its
own military or paramilitary force.

26:08.120 --> 26:11.200
The naval headquarters
should also be in East Pakistan.

26:11.360 --> 26:12.920
These are our demands.

26:13.040 --> 26:15.480
Please don't mind, Shamsur sahib.

26:15.680 --> 26:20.880
This looks like a list of
big dreams you've dreamt

26:20.960 --> 26:22.480
in the last few months.

26:22.680 --> 26:25.480
You really think that
the Pakistan Government

26:25.560 --> 26:30.120
will grant you a separate federal
government with taxation powers?

26:31.280 --> 26:34.960
And a separate force?
Isn’t that exceptionally absurd?

26:35.080 --> 26:38.440
1947 was also an absurd dream once,
brothers.

26:38.840 --> 26:41.280
-But what is the basis
of this discussion?

26:41.480 --> 26:44.920
First, let Pakistan conduct
its first ever proper election

26:44.920 --> 26:46.600
since its independence.

26:48.000 --> 26:49.400
Then the discussion can happen.

26:49.480 --> 26:51.680
-What are your priorities right now?
-All okay?

26:51.760 --> 26:54.000
-Please observe this election
carefully.

26:54.200 --> 26:57.320
Send your reporters
& see the reality under martial law.

26:58.400 --> 27:02.720
Free, fair elections are the only
way to bring peace in this region.

27:02.880 --> 27:06.240
Hence that’s our first priority.

27:08.320 --> 27:10.920
(tense music)

27:26.440 --> 27:28.520
-So much of arms build-up
at your eastern side...

27:28.600 --> 27:30.440
Extremely alarming for us.

27:30.520 --> 27:35.480
Now, imagine how alarming it is
for the opposition & Bengalis there.

27:35.520 --> 27:37.400
There have been reports of you

27:37.520 --> 27:39.920
trying to reach out to
Indian leadership too.

27:40.000 --> 27:41.400
No, no.

27:41.840 --> 27:44.280
This kind of talk
just confuses the issue

27:44.400 --> 27:47.560
Again, I am here only
for people-to-people contact.

27:47.720 --> 27:51.040
Indians,
specially our West Bengali brothers

27:51.120 --> 27:53.360
deserve to know
what is happening there.

27:54.080 --> 27:55.960
It’s almost sowing season!

27:56.160 --> 27:59.240
And the state support
has been awful for farmers!

27:59.760 --> 28:01.920
The donation drive is for them.

28:02.120 --> 28:03.840
Now, if you excuse me…

28:04.560 --> 28:06.000
I’ve to leave. Sheela?

28:06.160 --> 28:07.160
Yes...

28:09.720 --> 28:12.560
(low murmuring among reporters)

28:20.760 --> 28:22.800
-Excuse me, Professor...
-Yes...

28:23.080 --> 28:25.680
Richard Alvarez, Reuters, Lahore.

28:25.800 --> 28:27.320
Ah!

28:27.600 --> 28:29.400
I hope this time, our Party

28:29.480 --> 28:32.760
gets more than a one line mention
at the bottom of page 7?

28:33.960 --> 28:37.040
Why on earth would you do this here?

28:38.760 --> 28:41.080
This is tantamount to treason.

28:42.360 --> 28:43.440
Excuse me.

28:47.040 --> 28:48.720
Do you realize that?

28:49.240 --> 28:50.240
Treason?

28:52.200 --> 28:54.040
I’m spreading lies, you mean?

28:55.520 --> 28:57.120
Just come & see for yourself.

28:57.200 --> 28:58.720
-What?
-Come, come.

29:05.520 --> 29:08.600
(haunting, tragic music)

29:17.160 --> 29:18.360
Come.

29:18.920 --> 29:21.760
-Sir, we are well aware
what this propaganda aims at.

29:21.840 --> 29:23.840
That we Pakistanis are fascists...

29:24.360 --> 29:27.040
and that this refugee crisis
is our doing.

29:27.720 --> 29:31.440
The Indian government tells you
how their own people are suffering,

29:31.600 --> 29:33.960
and their Bengali words
melt your heart.

29:34.120 --> 29:35.960
It’s a power game.

29:37.880 --> 29:39.280
So many deaths…

29:40.240 --> 29:44.040
So many people struggling
for basic medicines and some rice.

29:44.400 --> 29:49.000
All these statements
from world medical bodies...

29:49.560 --> 29:51.600
It’s not Pakistan’s problem?

29:51.760 --> 29:54.480
Loose lips sink ships, Shamsur.

29:54.800 --> 29:59.280
You're telling the Indian press,
you don't trust your own nation?

29:59.880 --> 30:01.040
Trust?

30:01.720 --> 30:03.360
Who can one really trust?

30:04.080 --> 30:05.880
The officers
under the previous government

30:05.920 --> 30:09.240
wouldn't follow a single instruction
from Mujib.

30:09.440 --> 30:12.800
The army has been shooting
kids down openly on the streets.

30:12.960 --> 30:15.480
At least cholera shows
greater mercy than bullets.

30:16.000 --> 30:19.960
You westerners won’t print a word
against the martial law.

30:20.560 --> 30:22.360
But someone has to say it!

30:23.240 --> 30:24.480
-Professor...

30:25.800 --> 30:28.120
Please consider a middle path.

30:28.960 --> 30:30.760
Have me meet Mujib.

30:30.960 --> 30:33.560
Bhutto can be spoken to
before the election.

30:36.560 --> 30:40.640
A neutral voice can bring
some sense to both Parties.

30:44.160 --> 30:45.680
Mr. Alvarez.

30:47.080 --> 30:51.080
You remind me of this story about
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin...

30:51.240 --> 30:52.520
The men on the moon?

30:52.600 --> 30:53.640
Yes.

30:53.720 --> 30:55.880
Before the moon mission,
the two astronauts

30:55.960 --> 30:57.960
met a Native Indian chief.

30:58.640 --> 31:01.560
The chief asked,
"You're going to the moon?

31:01.680 --> 31:04.480
I have a message
for the moon spirits.

31:04.600 --> 31:06.240
But in my native language."

31:07.280 --> 31:10.680
Armstrong memorized the message
in their native language.

31:10.840 --> 31:17.040
Later, he asked a Native Indian
colleague its meaning.

31:17.840 --> 31:21.400
The colleague heard it
& burst into a laughter.

31:25.680 --> 31:27.280
You know...

31:28.480 --> 31:30.160
what the message was?

31:31.040 --> 31:33.960
"Don’t trust a single word
these men say.

31:34.320 --> 31:38.760
They will steal your land
and make you their slaves too."

31:43.680 --> 31:45.120
Hey, Jimmy! Chatterjee speaking.

31:45.240 --> 31:46.760
-From Peter's Fans!
-Sir!

31:47.000 --> 31:49.640
Why have I not been invited
to your latest party?

31:49.840 --> 31:51.040
Not done, boss!

31:52.000 --> 31:55.000
I am so sorry, sir,
honestly I haven't invited anyone.

31:55.080 --> 31:56.440
The word's just spreading.

31:58.360 --> 31:59.280
-Jimmy.
-Sir.

31:59.360 --> 32:00.640
-It's me.

32:00.840 --> 32:03.240
Get him a table,
you won’t regret it.

32:03.360 --> 32:05.760
Neither of you will take
a no for an answer...

32:05.880 --> 32:06.840
Huh?

32:06.880 --> 32:09.480
-Waiter… call Jimmy sir.

32:10.280 --> 32:12.800
-I am the manager here, sir.
Remember?

32:13.200 --> 32:16.680
-You sure don't look it.
-Hello, Mr. Mitra!

32:16.760 --> 32:18.320
Hello, hello!

32:18.440 --> 32:22.920
Honestly, all the big events seem
incomplete without your presence!

32:23.000 --> 32:24.760
The flattery won’t work.

32:25.000 --> 32:26.560
How many guests coming today?

32:26.640 --> 32:28.520
-It's a big event. I'm not sure.

32:29.000 --> 32:30.560
-So make it smaller.

32:30.840 --> 32:34.000
There are orders, can’t allow it
to become a fairground.

32:34.440 --> 32:35.440
Whose orders?

32:37.200 --> 32:39.360
We have to take care
of security clearance.

32:39.440 --> 32:43.040
-Ah.
-We're telling the Naxal students.

32:43.920 --> 32:46.840
Anything goes wrong
and it’ll become a huge deal.

32:47.200 --> 32:49.800
Better send the guest list
to the police station.

32:50.000 --> 32:51.160
-List?
-Yes.

32:51.240 --> 32:53.080
What list?
And whom will I refuse?

32:53.160 --> 32:55.720
The minister’s nephew?
Or the Vice Chancellor’s family?

32:55.800 --> 32:58.360
Or shall I just turn away
Mr. Uttam Kumar saying:

32:58.440 --> 33:01.680
Sorry, Kamal Mitra's permission
won't work. Ask Inspector Mitra.

33:01.760 --> 33:04.160
He can't guarantee your security.
Shall I tell him this?

33:04.320 --> 33:05.920
The order's from higher-up.

33:06.200 --> 33:08.320
-Give it to me in writing?
-Uhu.

33:09.360 --> 33:11.720
Your damned club has become
a pain in the ass for me!

33:11.800 --> 33:13.040
Oh. Ointment?

33:13.120 --> 33:14.840
-I will fix it in time.

33:15.000 --> 33:18.200
A city infested with Naxalites,
cholera spreading all over.

33:18.360 --> 33:20.880
And you're throwing a damned ball!

33:26.720 --> 33:27.880
Send it over.

33:28.720 --> 33:29.840
Thank you!

33:39.840 --> 33:41.880
Sir, I couldn’t see his face.

33:42.240 --> 33:44.840
He was spying
from the neighbouring terrace.

33:45.640 --> 33:47.120
But there were others too.

33:47.240 --> 33:49.080
When I went up,
the place was already empty..

33:50.360 --> 33:52.520
But I'm sure that they were there.

33:53.000 --> 33:56.440
Don’t leave the Professor alone
even for a moment.

33:57.480 --> 33:58.720
Watch him all the time.

33:59.560 --> 34:02.920
If he wants to go out,
accompany him.

34:03.720 --> 34:04.760
Don't worry.

34:05.280 --> 34:07.680
(tense music building up)

34:13.480 --> 34:15.000
(bicycle bell ringing)

34:33.240 --> 34:36.120
You are too anxious
about the young Turk, my boy.

34:36.200 --> 34:38.880
This is such
a glitterati-fueled occasion.

34:39.080 --> 34:42.080
Sir, I had no idea
so many people would turn up!

34:42.800 --> 34:44.080
And honestly,

34:44.280 --> 34:46.920
I don't understand this
cross-border political cocktail.

34:47.040 --> 34:48.760
-Oh!
-I just want business.

34:48.880 --> 34:50.520
"Political cocktail"?

34:50.800 --> 34:52.800
When will you quit complaining?

34:52.880 --> 34:54.880
-But sir was asking--
-Sir, I tell you,

34:54.960 --> 34:58.160
his business motto is
"Trust is fine, control is better".

34:58.360 --> 34:59.840
I'll just...

35:00.480 --> 35:02.160
-Excuse me, sir.
-Uh, please.

35:02.360 --> 35:03.600
Let me introduce...

35:03.680 --> 35:06.080
Mr. Richard Alvarez. Reuters.

35:06.400 --> 35:08.680
London. Los Angeles. Lahore.

35:08.800 --> 35:11.960
You are aware of his bylines
and his impeccable tailoring.

35:12.040 --> 35:14.200
-Nothing escapes Jimmy’s eyes.

35:14.280 --> 35:15.640
Can't help it, sir.

35:15.720 --> 35:16.760
-Excuse me, sir.

35:16.840 --> 35:19.000
Mr. Agarwal from sales emporium
wanted to have a talk.

35:19.200 --> 35:20.320
Sure, please come.

35:20.680 --> 35:21.600
-Hey!

35:23.760 --> 35:24.880
Go...

35:26.120 --> 35:27.280
Go!

35:29.360 --> 35:32.640
So? Some heated shit happened
in the afternoon I heard?

35:32.960 --> 35:34.240
-Ah, well...

35:35.080 --> 35:39.400
Never try to drill sense
into an overreacting Bengali!

35:41.760 --> 35:45.120
Shamsur didn’t even spare
the High Commissioner.

35:45.160 --> 35:46.240
Hossain sahib?

35:47.360 --> 35:49.920
Damn.
So, he is not coming tomorrow?

35:50.560 --> 35:51.840
I doubt it.

35:52.360 --> 35:55.800
Just like me,
his salary too comes from Lahore.

35:57.480 --> 36:00.200
Well, we should catch up
over the overreacting Bengalis

36:00.280 --> 36:02.440
on both sides of the border
sometime soon.

36:03.920 --> 36:05.000
-I'll be back.

36:05.240 --> 36:06.880
-Long time, Mr. Alvarez!

36:06.960 --> 36:07.920
-Hmm.

36:08.120 --> 36:10.960
-So, what's...
what's going on in Lahore?

36:11.080 --> 36:14.120
-Well, the Balochis
have got their own province.

36:14.840 --> 36:16.480
The One Unit thing is gone.

36:17.080 --> 36:18.240
Let's see.

36:21.080 --> 36:24.080
(suspenseful music)

36:24.880 --> 36:27.240
-You found an exact dupe of the car!
Good work!

36:28.360 --> 36:29.600
And the guns?

36:30.680 --> 36:31.880
-Inside.

36:36.520 --> 36:38.560
(uptempo music playing)

36:44.360 --> 36:45.440
Of course!

36:47.080 --> 36:49.120
-Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
-Thank you!

36:53.040 --> 36:54.200
Thank you, sir.

36:55.200 --> 36:56.240
Thank you.

37:11.960 --> 37:13.240
-Mr. Singh!

37:13.760 --> 37:15.720
-Hey, Mr. Sanjay, how are you?

37:15.920 --> 37:17.000
Thank you!

37:17.000 --> 37:19.920
I hear Pulu babu and Dipankar
are coming too?

37:20.520 --> 37:22.920
Moushumi too is coming from Bombay?

37:36.240 --> 37:39.760
(ominous music building)

37:44.880 --> 37:47.160
(car ignition turned on)

38:04.360 --> 38:06.400
(quirky jazz playing)

38:25.240 --> 38:26.600
Sir, he's here.

38:57.040 --> 38:58.400
Chandu!

38:58.800 --> 39:00.880
Get the table ready! Hurry!

39:03.440 --> 39:04.600
Bashir...

39:05.280 --> 39:06.440
(upbeat music)

39:31.160 --> 39:33.640
'Joy Bangla'

39:34.240 --> 39:35.440
Greetings.

39:39.520 --> 39:41.400
Jimmy,
this is Professor Shamsur Rehman.

39:41.480 --> 39:44.040
And Shamsur da, this is Jimmy,
owner of Jazz City!

39:54.680 --> 39:56.040
Greetings!

39:56.120 --> 39:58.560
Today, we are elated to have with us

39:58.720 --> 40:02.880
Professor Shamsur Rehman
from East Pakistan.

40:03.080 --> 40:04.800
He would like to say a few words.

40:05.000 --> 40:06.040
Shamsur da?

40:12.440 --> 40:14.160
Thanks a lot, dear friends.

40:16.280 --> 40:20.760
History tells us that there often
have always been rulers

40:21.080 --> 40:24.000
who do not see
a country as a nation,

40:24.480 --> 40:26.920
but as a profitable piece of land.

40:27.640 --> 40:31.320
And that's how rule & wreck
have come to mean the same thing.

40:32.280 --> 40:36.040
People have been victim to
immense, brutal oppression

40:36.120 --> 40:38.160
based on inequality!

40:39.200 --> 40:42.280
We have tolerated this torture
for years!

40:43.160 --> 40:45.400
Our blood has soaked the land!

40:46.160 --> 40:48.160
Our spines have bent
under the weight!

40:49.120 --> 40:51.000
But we didn't lose hope!

40:52.520 --> 40:55.720
Today’s Bengalis
are like sunflowers!

40:57.320 --> 40:59.960
Even after suffering waves
of torment and pestilence,

41:00.120 --> 41:04.720
they eagerly await the new sun
with all the hope in their hearts!

41:06.640 --> 41:09.640
Your gathering here today,
has doubled our courage.

41:10.640 --> 41:12.440
It has doubled our strength!

41:13.440 --> 41:18.320
I hope you all shall encourage us
in the future

41:18.400 --> 41:20.920
so that we can progress towards
a new dawn.

41:21.560 --> 41:22.800
Joy Bangla!

41:22.880 --> 41:23.960
Joy Bangla!

41:24.200 --> 41:25.440
Joy Bangla!

41:25.640 --> 41:26.880
Joy Bangla!

41:27.360 --> 41:29.120
-Joy Bangla!

41:29.200 --> 41:30.920
-Joy Bangla!

41:32.560 --> 41:35.200
(uptempo jazz music resuming)

41:39.560 --> 41:40.520
I wish you well too.

41:44.400 --> 41:45.600
Here's the main course.

41:46.040 --> 41:47.120
Pulao.

41:48.240 --> 41:49.400
And your curry.

41:53.000 --> 41:54.280
-Sir, how is it?

41:55.440 --> 41:56.640
-Great!

41:56.760 --> 41:59.400
Reminds me
of my auntie’s cooking!

41:59.480 --> 42:00.880
It's all for you!

42:03.440 --> 42:04.920
-Hello!
-They all want autographs!

42:05.000 --> 42:06.040
All good, sir?

42:06.120 --> 42:08.440
-All good, ma'am?
-Want a photo with the heroine?

42:08.600 --> 42:09.960
-Great!
-No.

42:10.600 --> 42:11.920
Good for Shamsur, though!

42:13.200 --> 42:15.640
Such unconditional love
and support...

42:16.000 --> 42:19.040
He couldn't have even dreamt
of this!

42:20.560 --> 42:24.240
Do you think... this is all
out of love for Bangla?

42:24.320 --> 42:25.440
Of course.

42:27.160 --> 42:28.400
Mister,

42:28.560 --> 42:31.960
why should these businessmen spend
so much on the Awami League?

42:32.080 --> 42:33.480
-Why?

42:33.760 --> 42:36.120
-If Awami League wins,
they can execute cheap imports

42:36.200 --> 42:38.520
of jute, rice & other things
from across the border.

42:38.600 --> 42:42.320
They'll gain from the investment!
It's simple! (laughing)

42:42.680 --> 42:45.400
Charity is a zero-sum game!
Just like love!

42:45.760 --> 42:47.320
-Well said!

42:49.160 --> 42:50.400
-Keep the car ready.

42:52.520 --> 42:56.400
Candles and wax
Fireflies in groove

42:56.480 --> 42:59.920
Wings unfurl, moon makes its move

43:00.240 --> 43:02.320
She stands in stone

43:02.520 --> 43:06.040
Alabaster ways
The metronome shifts

43:06.240 --> 43:08.320
The queen begins to sway

43:08.560 --> 43:11.840
Jiving down the alley
Victoria stalks

43:12.520 --> 43:16.080
Gunpowder in the air
Regret on sidewalks

43:16.240 --> 43:20.040
She knows when love arrives

43:21.520 --> 43:23.680
Waiting too long

43:24.040 --> 43:27.880
The third bell chimes

43:29.080 --> 43:31.320
She waits for my song

43:32.480 --> 43:34.760
Victoria

43:35.320 --> 43:36.720
-Yes!
-Yes, right!

43:37.000 --> 43:38.120
Thank you.

43:39.880 --> 43:41.400
You wouldn't take a no, right?

43:42.600 --> 43:45.920
You've always asked the right
questions at the wrong time.

43:55.200 --> 43:56.480
-Can I help you, sir?

43:57.040 --> 43:58.640
Ah, yes.

43:58.680 --> 44:00.760
I wanted to congratulate the cook.

44:00.920 --> 44:02.400
He’s done a great job!

44:02.600 --> 44:06.360
I will let my team know, sir.
Everyone is very busy, you see.

44:07.080 --> 44:08.440
All the best, sir.

44:08.520 --> 44:10.640
Millions have their
hopes riding on you.

44:15.720 --> 44:17.040
-Yes?
-Bathroom?

44:17.560 --> 44:19.360
-That way.
-Ah, that way?

44:26.040 --> 44:30.680
Oh, she's so bright, singing tonight

44:31.040 --> 44:33.640
(guests applauding)

44:38.000 --> 44:39.360
'Joy Bangla'

45:18.720 --> 45:19.960
Sir... sir?

45:22.440 --> 45:23.720
Sir?

45:31.600 --> 45:34.200
(dramatic music)

45:39.160 --> 45:40.520
What's wrong?

45:41.680 --> 45:42.760
He’s dead.

45:43.040 --> 45:44.160
-Huh?

45:47.840 --> 45:50.040
(ominous music rising)
