[Title Montage]
[Song playing on radio]
[Sujata] The lyrics of
this song are so sweet, Right?
- [Yawns]
- Sorry.
Ronnie, why did you have to come?
You're so tired.
I would have gone on my own.
[Song playing in radio]
Sweetheart,
it's the just the airport.
If I could, I would've
dropped you to London.
And if I could, I would
make you stay there for good.
Forever.
- Soon. - [Radio Announcement]
This is Aakashwani.
Very soon. - [Radio Announcement]
An important announcement.
[Radio Announcement] The threat
of the increasing epidemic
has forced the government
to take strict actions.
The airport staff have
been given orders to screen
all the passengers
flying out of the country.
This means the security at
the airport will be really tight.
They'll test me for Cholera.
[Radio Announcement]
To take stern measures.
I'm going to miss
my flight for sure.
What happened?
Why did you stop the car?
See.
You are Dr. Ronoy Biswas's
daughter.
Dr. Ronobir Chatterjee's
future wife.
[Ronobir] You grew up in London.
You can't be affected
by these diseases of the poor.
Third world diseases like
Cholera can't even touch you.
That's well and good.
But who is going to
tell that to the airport staff?
Me.
In case, you haven't noticed
I can convince people.
[Madhu] Kusum, have food.
Mom, I am not hungry. I will
just have tea.
[Door closes]
[Song playing]
[Ronobir] You know I like you.
[Song playing]
[Knocks on door]
[Song playing]
[Door opens]
[Song playing]
I don't take no for an answer.
So will you come
with me to the prom?
With me?
[Song playing]
And open the door as well.
[Knocks on door]
[Door opens]
Oh. You?
Come.
Thanks
for getting flowers for me.
Thank you so much.
[Door closes]
[Madhu] Ratan?
- Come.
- Aunt.
[Ratan] These are for you.
So sweet. Thank you.
At least someone values them.
[Knocks on door]
[Kusum] Where are you going
all dressed up?
People dress well for the prom.
You are not ready?
I am not going.
Oh. I was wondering
if we could go to together.
[Sprays perfume]
Ronnie. Just see if it's okay.
No.
In my cupboard, second shirt
from the right. It will suit you.
[Indranill] As if putting
on your
shirt will give him
a luck like you.
[Subhash] Seriously.
[Subhash] I still
can't believe
what happened at your
birthday party.
You kissed someone.
But put the ring on someone else.
That's why I don't believe in luck.
[Ronobir] When I see
something, I go for it.
Did you call the driver?
[Writik] Yes.
He is downstairs. Getting the tea.
Perfect. Boys, we leave in five.
[Indranill] I need to change.
Wait, guys.
[Writik] Whom are
you going to the prom with?
Is it some new girl?
That will be a bit much, right?
I'm glad Sujata is in London.
So guess what?
It's going to be us and lot of fun.
Indranill, these communist colours
doesn't suit us.
Change it.
There are two bow ties on my table.
Get both.
You.
You don't get to party with us.
- Wait, Ronnie. - Alright, boys.
It is time to move.
- Ronnie. Are you serious?
- Absolutely.
Come on, Indranill. Hurry.
- Indranill, come.
- [Indranill] Come on.
[Music playing]
This is going to
be the best punch ever.
Hello.
Get up.
Get up.
It is a scientific fact, my friend.
The more drunk a girl
is the more handsome I look.
[Sucks teeth]
Oh. Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Jones, I must say you look
really beautiful in this dress.
Subhash. Look at you. All grown up.
[Mrs. Jones] Or mature?
It was the first year of college
when you had chickenpox, right?
I know your mother
was so worried about you.
It's going to affect your manhood.
Take care. Enjoy the party.
[Song playing]
Look over there.
Geek queen and nerd king.
Big deal.
Thank you.
[Paromita] Wow, Kusum.
We just couldn't recognise you.
You look so different.
- Thank you.
- [Girl 1] Oh look. Rono is here.
What a bh.
[Music playing]
- Should we dance?
- Sure.
[Footsteps]
[Song playing]
[Ronobir] You are turning me
down for this patriotic nerd.
You could have done
better than that.
Your evening hasn't
even started yet.
And you cannot be
faithful to your date.
[Kusum] How dare you, Charu?
Did you forget what happened
at the birthday party yesterday?
[Charulata] What, Kusum?
What's the problem?
[Kusum] You.
[Kusum] I shared my
feelings and you just
I just what?
Ronobir is not your property.
So go give him what he wants.
I will.
So you stay here
and protect your virginity.
I am not easy like you.
You're a prude.
Boring, dried up virgin.
Protect your virginity.
I know how to live my life.
[Song playing]
I will show you.
[Footsteps]
- [Kusum] Come.
- What?
Pappy Van Winkle who was
a really big whiskey baron.
He once said.
To bring out the taste of whiskey,
you should mix just
15ml of water in 60ml whiskey.
Neither more nor less.
The taste gets spoiled
if it gets a off balance.
Dad, you said Monday.
And it's Wednesday today.
[Dr. Ronoy Biswas]
Tell me something.
Are you sure about this?
Will Rono be able to add
the right balance to your life?
Yes, dad. I am very sure.
Please tell me that you have sent
his recommendation letter.
William will send it today.
And Ronobir should
receive it within a week.
[Chuckles]
Dad, you're the best.
- [Sujata] I love you.
- [Kisses]
- Love you, dad.
- Love you, dear.
[Sujata] Bye.
[Footsteps]
- I am not a prude.
- No?
Okay.
No! This is wrong.
But I want to be with you.
[Thundering]
Why?
So that you can show
that you're not a prude.
Don't do it to show it to
someone else.
I love you.
[Song playing]
You love me, right?
[Song playing]
[Ronobir] For Kusum, that moment
was no less than magic.
Except that it was happening
in the real world.
She saw heaven in my arms.
And her present and future in me.
And me
[Chuckles]
Jackpot.
One more strike
among the many strikes.
It was not like I
was not in the moment
or I didn't enjoy it.
But I mean
You know what I mean.
Good morning, mumma.
Good morning.
Are the results out?
No. Next week.
Why are you so cheerful?
- [Kisses]
- [Song playing]
[Tram moving]
[Song playing]
[Charulata] Paro, what's the time?
It's time for someone
to get dumped, my darling.
[Song playing]
Strawberries.
They are an aphrodisiac.
[Song playing]
I don't want it.
[Song playing]
Is it working?
[Song playing]
[Kusum] Baby.
[Song playing]
Baby?
[Song playing]
[Door closes]
[Ronobir] And the
day finally arrived
when I got the
recommendation letter
which was my ticket to London.
[Footsteps]
[Knocks on door]
[Door opens]
Do you live alone?
Where are your parents?
[Ronobir] Darjeeling.
They own a tea estate.
They come here only for
Goddess Durga's veneration.
So it means it's just us here.
[Music playing]
- [Screaming]
- [Heavy breathing]
I love horror films.
It's okay.
[Kusum] Okay, listen.
I am going to go
and use the washroom.
Sure.
Sharmila.
Sharmila.
- Kusum, how are you?
- Good.
Wow. You got married?
- [Sharmila] Yes.
- Congratulations.
[Sharmila] He is Uday.
- Are you pregnant with his
- No.
Uday is a good husband. Nice.
[Sharmila] Good job.
Good house.
The boy who impregnated me
in college
he couldn't take
my responsibility
Kusum, you find
many boys like these.
Popular. Handsome.
The girls are crazy for them.
They excite you.
But when excitement
increases in life,
you hurt yourself.
But what about love?
Who said there is no love?
This is also love.
And it's enough.
I'm very, very happy.
- You have changed, right?
- What?
You love me.
You are not like the other
boys who can leave someone.
Right?
You have changed me, Kusum.
It's 22nd today, right?
Have your periods started?
It will in a couple of days.
[Ronobir] The pregnancy test
was positive or not.
These tests used to
happen back then as well now.
Just the methods have changed.
But there is still
no method to check one thing.
To see if the emotion was positive.
Damn it. There is no test for it.
[Footsteps]
[Kusum] Baby, come on.
Come on.
- [Subhash] Oh. Baby. - [Kusum]
Come. I need to talk to you.
Kusum, where are you taking me?
[Ronobir] Kusum, we get it.
Back office.
What are you doing?
[Kusum] You asked what's important.
This is important.
Our life is important.
[Ronobir] What could it be more
important than the pictures?
I'm pregnant.
[Ronobir] What?
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I did the blood test.
Listen. No one will know.
[Kusum] We will get married
before that, right?
We can manage this at least.
Everyone will feel the
child is arriving early.
I'm so happy. We'll be so happy.
We'll be happy, right?
Ronnie.
I don't think this is true.
You have to abort
the fetus right away.
Do you understand?
- [Sighs]
- Right away.
[Theme song playing]
[Song playing on radio]
[Sujata] The lyrics of
this song are so sweet, Right?
- [Yawns]
- Sorry.
Ronnie, why did you have to come?
You're so tired.
