Where is my girlfriend?
Dad, so late?
Mishti,
why haven't you slept yet?
She has been missing
you since morning.
[Ronobir's Mother] She
wants to show you many things.
Mother, please sleep.
I'll take care of her.
Mishti needs a mother.
Not again.
Why not?
[Ronobir's Mother] It's the truth.
Who is going to take
care of a motherless girl?
I won't be here forever.
Good night, mother.
He never hears me out.
[Ronobir] Good girl. Slowly.
[Sujata] Rono, I know you.
You never express your feelings.
[Door opens]
Cholera.
[Man 1] Yes, doctor.
I'll leave you to discuss
the next step which is necessary.
What? Cholera?
Come on. Get up.
[Ronobir] Let's go.
We are going. Come on.
Come on.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Ronnie.
- No. No.
- Ronnie, wait.
We have to get another opinion.
- Okay.
- From whom?
From the doctor.
He is my dad's good friend.
- I know.
- He has known me since childhood.
He has already run
three to four tests.
[Ronobir] I know.
It is Cholera.
It is too late.
Don't be stupid.
[Ronobir] Cholera
happens to poor people.
What are you talking?
It happens in places like India.
Cholera doesn't happen here.
- Let's just go.
- Ronnie.
- Yes.
- Come. Sit down.
Sit. Sit down.
[Sujata] I had been to India.
Last week.
Yes. But it's impossible.
[Sujata] My dad was
this hospital's dean.
You are also a doctor.
- And a disease got me.
- No.
I guess this is the punishment
for getting you here from India.
Had you been in India, you
- would have been helping
thousands of people. - No.
[Sujata] I wanted to live
in London.
And now I will die in London
the way Indians die.
Just stop. You are overreacting.
[Sujata] There are only
a few things in this world
on which your charm
doesn't work.
[Gasps]
Cholera is one of them.
- Ronnie, I have just three to four
days. - No.
Are you a doctor?
You were not until last night.
So you are overreacting.
It happens.
It happens to all the patients.
There are Last week in the
And the this
I have accepted it.
Please you accept it too.
I will fking hate
you for the rest of my life.
[Ronobir] Forever.
Do you understand?
I
I have always thought
our love to be one-sided.
I love you.
And I know you love me too.
But your love is
like that of a friend.
You have said I love you
to me so many times.
Today, for the first time,
I felt after hearing what you said
that you love me too.
And even if I die now,
I don't care.
[Sujata] Rono, I know you.
You never express your feelings.
[Beeps]
[Sujata] You are not alone now.
You have to live for Mishti.
I know,
you do not understand
these things now.
It's okay.
You have to start your life afresh.
But you will have to move on.
Don't be consumed by my thoughts.
There is a lot of space
in your heart.
Don't hide it with your charm.
And the next time you fall in love,
you might feel guilty.
[Beeps]
And you should.
When that happens,
promise me
that you will try.
[Sujata] If that girl loves
Mishti
as much as we
do then you will try.
You will try, Ronnie.
I am going. Please accept it.
[Sobs]
You
Now, you will live my life too.
[Beeps]
You are now Mishti's
mother as well as father.
You will do everything
we came here to do.
You will do everything
we were supposed to do together.
You will become a big doctor.
A big, big doctor, Ronnie.
Promise me you'll do all this.
You will save someone
else like me from dying.
Save some other girl
from becoming motherless.
You'll do that for me?
[Beeps]
Promise?
[Ronobir] And see.
I came here to start
my life afresh.
And this life has brought
me back to the situation
from which I had escaped.
The girl I cheated so badly.
The girl whom
I lied to so many times.
Life has made me confront her.
I guess this is Karma.
I had decided that
I'll live with the promise
I made you and your memories.
But today upon seeing
Kusum, I felt
that maybe love
is not done with me.
The love you had for me.
The love you always wanted from me.
I can give that love to her.
But I guess Kusum can
never fall in love with me.
For her, I am the man
because of whom
she lost faith in love.
She doesn't know I have changed.
And frankly, she doesn't even care.
And why should she?
I do deserve it.
[Door bell rings]
[Door opens]
Look what I got. Fresh
rosogulla from Balaram Mullick.
[Ratan] I know it's your favourite.
So I got it made
right in front of me.
I'll get a plate.
I also received this
college reunion invitation.
- But I don't think I will be able
to come. - Why?
I have lots of appointments
at the clinic that day.
Okay.
[Ronobir] Kusum's story
began with this notice board.
Today she must be remembering
the time when she was full of hope.
Innocent Kusum has transformed.
She had changed.
Now she knew herself and the world.
Fairy tales had taken a real turn.
And reality taught
Kusum quite a lot.
This pain does heal.
But it leaves you stone hearted.
Today, the naïve, wide-eyed
Kusum had changed.
[Music playing]
Charu.
Kusum. Wow. Kusum Kumari.
Wow.
How are you?
You have changed so much.
[Charulata] Two kids in six years.
And this is the third one.
I'll have to teach family planning
to my husband.
Wow.
You have maintained yourself well.
And I heard
you are still a spinster.
Yes.
But I am engaged.
You mean hitched and fixed.
I hate when Paro is right.
She used to say.
Overqualified girls don't get boys.
I found him late.
But I found a good one.
It's Ratan.
The patriotic guy.
[Charulata] Nice.
He was already crazy for you.
He is a really good friend of mine.
We respect each other.
By the way, your love was reserved
for that someone special, right?
[Music playing]
He is coming here.
Oh my God. Kusum, I need to hide.
My crush shouldn't see me
in this condition.
- [Kusum] Hey. But
- [Charulata] Bye.
[Music playing]
- Who was that?
- Charu.
She was hiding from you.
Charu who?
[Ronobir] Anyway,
didn't your fiance come?
You mean Ratan?
Ra
Your family friend, Ratan?
So you are still confused
whether he is your
elder brother or lover?
- Shut up.
- [Chuckles]
Yes. The geeky patriotic Ratan.
- Still a communist?
- Yes.
Still not crazy for money?
Yes.
Principled? Yes.
Boring? Yes.
Shut up.
Okay. Sorry.
Campus rounds
just like old times.
Rupa.
Shubodini. Hi.
- [Kusum] How are you?
- I am fine.
[Mrs. Jones] May I
have you attention please?
Thank you.
Lots of students have passed
out of our medical college.
But a selfless student
has returned to our country
after earning a lot
of fame all over the world
to dedicate himself to us.
After working in London's
best hospitals,
he has decided to come back
and fight the epidemic of Cholera.
Please welcome the young, dashing
man, Dr. Ronobir Chatterjee.
[Applause]
A real patriot he is.
[Applause]
Ronobir. Well done.
Thank you, sir.
This is for you.
Kusum, I always knew you and
Ronobir would make a great pair.
I am engaged to Ratan.
Mrs. Jones,
you look stunning as usual.
You have spoilt me, Rono.
[Clears throat]
[Ronobir] By the last year
of college,
we know in which field
we are going to specialise,
what job we are going
to take and
in which hospital
we are going to work.
And I was no different.
I was selfish.
And thinking that
I will not get anywhere
in this country, I went abroad.
Best hospitals. Best jobs.
Best lifestyle ever.
I guess I didn't have faith.
And perhaps,
that is why I ran away.
But those
who stayed back.
Those who stayed back despite
being toppers and having options.
They are the real
heroes of this place.
I have only learnt to take.
This college gave me everything.
But all I did was take.
And I never gave back.
But Dr. Kusum Ganguly.
[Ronobir] She
has worked for this place.
For this country selflessly.
And that's why
she deserves this award.
Dr. Ganguly,
I dedicate this to you.
[Applause]
Go.
[Applause]
What new attempt at
becoming a hero is this?
[Applause]
Sacrifice?
I have learnt it from you.
Quite a lot.
[Applause]
Nice guy.
- [Ronobir] Can I have a dance?
- Yes.
He knows how to appreciate women.
[Paromita] Ronobir knows
how to handle a woman.
His poor wife.
She must also be feeling the same.
I can't imagine the insecurity
she must be living with.
[Sighs]
So sad.
Sorry?
His wife. Sujata.
She died a few years ago.
[Paromita] She had Cholera.
Since then Ronobir has dedicated
himself to treating Cholera.
As if he is exacting
revenge against Cholera.
For his wife.
[Footsteps]
- [Sighs]
- [Ronobir] Kusum.
[Ronobir] You don't hate me.
You told me that.
Yes. You are upset with me. A lot.
But you do feel.
You do.
So?
I have been hiding it
since nine years.
And I was fine
till you came.
Why did you come back?
I was happy.
Or I was at least I was trying.
With Ratan?
So?
[Kusum] He is my friend.
And I trust him.
He will not hurt me.
He will never make you angry.
He will never kindle
any passion within you.
You'll never hate him.
You will never feel for him.
[Breathing heavily]
[Song playing]
No. This is wrong.
This isThis is wrong.
