How old was he?
Two minutes old.
(praying)
CELL 145
PART 1
Ma'am, please don't do this.
Maha, the doctor said not to.
I've seen
what the doctor is doing.
So, you're the only one
who cares for her.
Is it?
Please go out and talk.
(indistinct chatter)
I've spoken to the doctor.
He wants to know our decision.
"Our?"
It's my decision.
I told him the same thing.
Now it's up to you.
Surviving on life support is painful.
Why do you want her to suffer?
Have you ever been
on life support?
The daily hospital expenses
are huge.
How long can we keep her alive
like this?
Besides, it's a sin.
What's this about?
That it's a sin
or the expenses?
Listen.
Mom's money is being spent
on her treatment.
What's your problem with it?
She left it for you.
Mom hasn't left us yet.
Let her be in peace
as long as she lives.
You can claim your share later.
What are you talking about?
-Who asked for a share of property?
-There's nothing to ask for.
If mom dies,
Uncle will inherit the property anyway.
-That's what the law says.
-What do you mean?
Are you keeping her alive
just to waste money?
We don't need any money.
But don't make your mom suffer
like this.
She won't suffer anymore, Auntie.
I will find my dad.
Who?
-Sir.
-No.
Whose grandparents are still alive?
-How old are they?
-My grandpa is 87 years old.
Do you know anyone
who has lived for 250 years?
Then how can he be alive
for 250 years?
You all are revering him like a saint.
Is this a jail or a shrine?
Go ahead, have the sweets.
He is a fraud
and you are all his followers.
You know who he is?
You don't.
He's an old guest.
Lives in the jail changed
as soon as he set foot here.
What?
You don't believe me, do you?
Mobarok, tell them.
II can't.
I
"I can't."
Words have failed him.
Mobarok's mother
hasn't met him for 10 years
out of anger.
Yesterday, Mobarok offered juice
to that man.
And today,
Mobarok's mother came to meet him.
Do you realise how powerful he is?
What?
Do you still not understand who he is?
He's Gazi Baba the saint.
He has returned.
One meeting with him
will solve all your problems.
It will end all your troubles.
So?
Do you want to meet him?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Do you want to see him?
-Yes!
-Yes!
Sir.
His entry is not on record.
-Can't we just let him go?
-Hey!
Do you guarantee
that he won't enter again?
You still couldn't find out
why and how he got in.
Know your place
before you speak.
Sorry, sir.
Sir.
I don't think meetings and discussions
will help.
Let's just take a decision.
The matter is under wraps for now.
But we'll be in more trouble
if word gets out.
Here's your ticket.
-Ten minutes.
-Next!
Let me see your hand.
Here's your ticket.
-Fifteen minutes.
-Next!
Are you done having sweets?
Then leave.
-Distribute the rest of it among others.
-Yes, sir.
Sir.
It's been three days.
What are you going to do
about the report?
Have you decided anything?
Did you find out
who leaked the CCTV footage?
I don't know which camera it's from.
If you check all the videos--
-Send the video to me.
-Sir.
And Khayer
Do we have an empty ward
in the hospital here?
We have to take Sajib there.
Panna wants to meet him.
Sir, can I say something?
The prison transfer
is just around the corner.
I think you should get Sajib out now.
All the inmates will be shifted
to other jails.
There'll be a lot of chaos.
And we have this man to deal with too.
The audit is due in a few days too.
Problems are piling up, sir.
Sir.
Tell Ataur that the deal is off.
Let him serve out his sentence now.
Sir, get Ataur here.
I'll take care of the rest.
Just look into the report, please.
Sir.
Baba.
Bless me.
My wife is pregnant.
Baba.
Just two more years.
Bless me so I live for two more years.
I've committed a lot of crimes.
But I was never caught.
But when I heard about my father's death
and I got caught.
I'll cut Saddam to pieces
once I'm out.
I swear on God.
I'll chop Saddam into pieces.
Please bless my wife and child.
I won't spare him, Baba.
I won't spare him!
Has she fallen asleep?
What did you name her?
Nupur, meaning anklet.
Does she tinkle?
All day long!
Mathews.
Is he French?
Hmm.
Mathews.
You've taken the French kiss
too seriously.
Did you guys talk
after you came back?
Does he call you?
Are you still in touch?
Why wouldn't we be?
Hmm.
So what's your plan?
You're in a relationship.
Next--
Marriage, babies
Yes.
Maybe some day.
But not now.
Hmm.
Why didn't you get it done
in France?
They have better facilities.
Yes, better.
But I don't have
a legal guardian there.
They would've kept me under observation
after abortion.
They wouldn't have let me
come back soon.
Mom is critical
so I didn't have time.
How's your mom now?
How long will you keep her alive
like this?
What if you don't find your dad?
Hello, friends.
What's wrong?
Is there a funeral going on?
Oh!
Hey.
You said exactly
what's written here.
You're an expert.
You have to help me again today.
-She's here to ask for your help.
-Yes.
And you're using her for your work.
What do you mean by that?
The investigation is on.
My junior went there
and spoke to the locals.
They said they knew Sirajul.
He had gone to Libya
but died there.
And that's where he was buried.
Why would her mom say
that he's still alive?
Have you ever been to your dad's house?
You haven't.
Has your mom been there?
No.
His neighbours don't even know
about them.
What do you mean?
They know nothing
about Sirajul's wife and child.
Nobody even knows they're in Dhaka.
All they know is
that he died and was buried in Libya.
According to them, he was unmarried.
-When did she fall sleep?
-Just a while ago.
-Has she eaten?
-Hmm.
Hey, there.
Hey, baby.
You've become more handsome.
The weather is great.
And the food too.
We're meeting after such a long time.
Please talk nicely.
This is how prisoners talk.
-I have a surprise for you.
-What?
Has the embassy set a date?
When will I be free?
What's this?
Home-made cake.
I learnt it from the internet.
Must be horrible.
Even the box is torn.
-What is it?
-Hang on.
What are you doing?
Happy birthday to you!
Aduri.
Aduri.
Drama queen.
Where's my gift?
You should give me a gift.
Because I gave birth to you.
What do you want?
Children do so much for their mothers.
You know what Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar
did for his mother?
No.
He crossed a river on a stormy night
for his mother.
Do you know how?
He swam across.
But you didn't teach me how to swim.
Skip the story
and tell me what you want.
Promise me
that you won't get into betting again.
Not even after you go abroad.
I had quit.
What was the use?
If I become an informer,
I'll be safe.
Nothing will happen to me.
They'll catch the criminals.
Huh!
Were they able to catch them?
I told them it's not so easy.
I ended up here
because I listened to you both.
I invited more trouble
by becoming an informer.
I ratted them out
and now they're after my life.
And you both?
You've locked me up in jail.
Have the cake.
Call Dad.
Let's have cake together.
Don't worry.
Next time, I'll go if need be.
-When do we start?
-Once Mostak gets here.
We'll take a decision today.
Hopefully,
you won't have to come by again.
Has your wife left?
Please come.
Sit down.
Two hundred and fifty years, hmm?
He's been alive for 250 years.
Ask him where he was all this time.
"I was in prison."
Which prison?
"Andaman Prison.
I
was imprisoned for killing that traitor.
I was shifted around
from prison to prison
before they sent me
to Andaman Prison."
What did you ask him?
The timeline doesn't add up.
Mir Jafar died in 1765.
And Andaman Prison was built
in the 1900s.
There is a gap
of around 150 years in between.
Ask him why.
Where were you
for the 150 years in between?
"In Ross Island.
It's a prison island.
I was among
the first 200 prisoners there.
The number of prisoners
gradually increased.
So they transferred us
to a different prison."
Which prison?
"They took me to Port Blair.
I was kept in the Cellular Jail there.
When will I be released?
Will I never be free?"
Hey!
Cut the crap!
Jut cut the crap!
Ask him where he was
two days ago.
Where were you two days ago?
"North Sentinel."
-North?
-Sentinel.
Where's that?
What the hell is going on?
-Forget about north or south. Ask him--
-Why don't you ask him?
Let me understand first.
Let me do my work.
-Then I'll explain it to you.
-Fine.
Carry on talking amongst yourselves.
Are you a tribal?
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
(speaking French)
She was in France for a while.
(speaking French)
(speaking French)
What happened?
You stopped translating.
Didn't get what he said
towards the end.
He said really strange things.
Never heard anything like it.
Tell us what he said.
-He said North Sentinel is--
-Where is this place?
North Sentinel is one
of the Andaman Islands.
It's mainly inhabited by the tribals.
Visitors aren't allowed.
The Indian government has prohibited
the entry of outsiders.
That means he is a tribal.
Fine.
Why did they build a jail
for the tribals?
How would I know?
He said that
during the Second World War
the Japanese army
had attacked the Cellular Jail.
A few prisoners were released then.
He and others the
were taken to North Sentinel.
They were kept in a secret prison cell
which still exists.
Earlier, they had only prisoners
from the subcontinent.
But now they have prisoners
from different countries.
You said
outsiders are not allowed there.
That's what I knew.
He said
that's why outsiders aren't allowed.
-It's a cover-up story.
-Fking rubbish!
NO SMOKING
Then how did he come here?
He was in cell 145 there.
He fell asleep
and woke up to find himself here
in cell 145.
This is all I could gather.
"How long will a person live?
Nobody knows.
It's not just you.
Even I don't believe
that I've been in prison for so long.
That I'm still alive.
He knows
that a lot of prisoners here
have been accused of crimes
they have not committed.
Some are imprisoned
for their own crimes.
And some for the fault of others.
Some don't want to end up here.
While some don't want to leave.
Some come here to die.
And some come here to kill."
What does he mean by all this?
What do you mean?
"I've seen a lot of prisoners.
Here too, there are prisoners
who are not guilty.
I can see it in their eyes."
What do you see?
Ask him what he sees.
"Two men are accused
of the same crime.
But they are in different places.
One is imprisoned here.
And the other in an asylum."
Which prisoner are you talking about?
"Prisoner 302."
Who's that?
-What's wrong?
-I'm looking into it, sir.
What's wrong?
What happened?
You asked me to pray for your son.
But this is
I buried my son
above my mother's grave.
How old was he?
Two minutes old.
