There's evidence Ranjan Sinha has murdered Manisha Das.

How can the opposition present new evidence now?

This is non-admissible.

Mr. Saradindu Bose, are you here to see Indrani Sen?

Don't worry about the opposition.

I'll handle it.

Okay?

- Take her home. - Okay, ma'am.

Ma'am.

Mr. Bose is here.

- Should I call him to your chamber? - No.

- I've got this. - Okay.

Hello. I'm Indrani Sen.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hello.

Let's talk in my chamber.

- Some water, please. - Sure.

Have some water.

Tell me.

How can I help you?

Our son...

doesn't look after us.

I want to file a case against him.

Okay.

SHONTAAN

Attention, everyone!

The farewell rituals are about to begin.

If you wish to participate

please head to the pandal.

I repeat. The farewell rituals...

Listen.

Don't keep all the sweets in the fridge.

They get hard.

My grandson, Pablo, doesn't like it.

You're still expecting your son on the last day of the festival?

My son isn't well.

He's caught a cold.

He'd called you five days ago.

Is he still unwell?

Keep quiet.

See if the farewell rituals have begun.

Hurry up. We're getting late.

Give me the tray.

- Where are the flowers? - Get the sweets.

- Come fast. - Hurry up!

Don't put vermilion on the idol's face.

What is my husband doing downstairs?

The excitement of the festival Made our hearts sing

But it's over too soon Leaving us in gloom

That's your crazy fellow singing.

The excitement of the festival Made our hearts sing

But it's over too soon Leaving us in gloom

It's time to bid farewell It's time for immersion

It's time to bid farewell It's time for immersion

The Daughter visits after a year Her children in tow

The mother awaits her arrival With bated breath

Parents linger in hope To hear from their child

Festivals of joy Marred by loneliness

It's time to bid farewell It's time for immersion

It's time to bid farewell It's time for immersion

Please stay for a bit longer What's the rush?

Who else will soothe our aching hearts?

Your presence made us forget our sorrows

Bringing smiles on our faces all through year

The stage is set To bid farewell

The rhythm of the drums reminds us it's time to say goodbye

The excitement of the festival Made our hearts sing

But it's over too soon Leaving us in gloom

It's time to bid farewell It's time for immersion

- Yeah! - Yeah!

- Season's greetings. - Season's greetings.

- Season's greetings. - Season's greetings.

Indra.

Your wife is so pretty.

- See. - Take a look.

Of course, she does.

- After all, she's my wife. - Such a lover boy!

Guys, let's wait for Riya.

- Sure. - Yeah.

Hold on.

We're almost there. Don't worry.

Get the snacks.

- Where is she? - She'll be right here.

Busy with your phones?

Hey, I'm back.

- Indra, it's so hot. - I know.

What a long queue!

It's insane!

Done with the rituals?

Oh, yes.

- Finally done. - Great!

What's this?

You've started without me?

- No. - We were waiting for you.

Can't start without you.

Your husband made us wait.

Heard that?

Shampa.

He's not answering.

I'm sure he'll call back.

Don't worry.

Drive faster.

So?

Hip hip...

- Hurray! - Hurray!

- Okay, one selfie. - Yeah.

- Come here. - Oh, sorry!

- Go, go. - Yes, please.

Oh, come on!

- I'll pose with my husband. - Sure.

Look at the camera.

- Look here. - Ready, guys.

- Indra. - What?

Come closer.

Sure, baby.

- Don't be shy. - Pout!

- Hail Goddess Durga! - Hail Goddess Durga!

- Hail Goddess Durga! - Hail Goddess Durga!

It's a long procession.

It'll take forever to get out of here.

- Hail Goddess Durga! - Hail Goddess Durga!

What is it?

What's the matter?

Honey.

Don't make any plans on Sunday.

Why?

You forgot?

My dad has invited us for lunch.

Oh, I remember.

And my dad has lost it.

He's constantly calling me.

What else do you expect?

He must be waiting for your call.

"The immersion ceremony is over.

My dear Indra hasn't called yet.

I am so sad."

He's very irritating.

Indra.

Wish them over the phone.

Get it over with.

I'll handle the guests.

You handle him.

- Okay? - I'll be right there.

Hello.

Season's greetings.

What's wrong with you?

Don't you get I'm busy...

When?

Which doctor?

Feeling sleepy?

A little.

They've put you on meds. Sleep.

What did the doctor say?

Do I need an operation right away?

- Yes, he said... - How are you, Mom?

What happened?

You should've been careful.

Don't even say.

I was performing the farewell rituals. It was all fine.

Don't know how...

Come.

Let's talk to the doctor.

- Dr. Chatterjee? - Yes.

Spoken to him already.

- He's suggested knee replacement. - Right.

How is that going to help?

She's in a lot of pain.

Mom is the one in pain.

Let her talk.

Why are you speaking for her?

You're impossible.

- Don't you have any sense? - Indra.

Don't get worked up.

Do what you think is for the best.

Who will make Dad understand that?

- Can we-- - Dad.

Can't go for surgery right now.

Take the prescribed medicines.

- Let's see if the meds work. - Indra.

Let's talk outside.

Not now. I have guests waiting.

I'll get a second opinion.

Let him go back to his party.

Go home.

We need to talk.

Indra, my boy.

How are you?

- What? - How are you?

- I'm fine. - Really?

Wait a second.

- What is it? - And my Pablo?

How's my little Pablo?

He's fine too. Everyone's fine.

Don't worry.

They've put you on painkillers.

- You'll recover in no time. - Okay.

- I'll go talk to Dad. - Bye.

Take care.

We're here.

Let's sit.

Here he is.

Tell me.

- Your... - Make it quick.

Your mom needs an operation.

You heard the cost, right?

- Four lakhs. - Yes.

Will your health insurance cover it?

We can't file any more claims this year.

Why?

We used it for her gallbladder operation.

What the hell!

You've used it up?

Yes. Why?

Nothing. Forget it.

There's still time.

Get Mom discharged.

I'll see what I can do.

- Don't delay. - Yeah, okay.

Can't you wait for me?

I'm on my way back.

I'll talk to Mishtu. Put her on.

Why are you leaving?

Everything's okay.

Yeah.

I'll be right there. Everything's sorted.

Do you want to file a case for medical negligence?

Want to file a case against him for neglecting us.

Want to file a case against him

for misbehaving with his old parents.

Want to file a case against him for insulting us.

I want to file the case to teach him a lesson.

Sir.

I can understand your emotions.

But the law doesn't care about feelings.

Old parents don't matter in the eyes of the law.

There's no one to listen to us.

Tell me.

Please.

I'll listen.

Piklu.

Let's eat.

Won't you have dinner?

Come on.

Hey!

Go to the toilet.

Let's eat.

Indra, stop it. Enough.

Done.

Stop drinking.

- Indra. - Yeah?

Tell me.

How did you convince Mr. Saradindu Bose?

I shut him up with a suggestion of a second opinion.

Didn't give him any chance.

- Second opinion? - Yes.

Wow! Now he'll keep bugging us.

- He'll keep on about it. - I'll handle him.

- He'll make our lives hell. - I'll delay it.

But for how long?

Until they can claim the health insurance.

They've already used up the entire amount.

What?

My God!

- They're incorrigible. - I know.

Why did she do the rituals with that knee?

Was it necessary?

Don't try to find logic.

Logic doesn't work on them.

Why would it?

They only care about silly sentiments.

Sentiments won't work on me.

- I won't fall for it. - Some eggs?

I have my own plans.

I'll stick to them no matter what.

I won't have it.

You know...

No one pays for surgery with their own money.

I am not a bloody fool.

- Indra. - Yeah?

- Listen to me. - I am all ears.

Tell me.

If our trip gets cancelled because of them...

It won't.

Are you crazy?

Our trip is on.

You know what?

I've been planning for the trip.

I've got a shopping list.

We'll go shopping tomorrow.

Of course, we will. Sorry...

- My baby. - Stop it.

- Easy there. - Careful.

- Careful. - Watch your step.

- Be careful. - Don't worry.

Easy!

- Careful there. - Don't worry.

- Watch your step here. - Careful.

Be careful on the stairs.

Go slow.

Hold it tight.

- Hey, careful. - Careful.

Don't worry.

They won't let you fall.

Let's go inside.

Bring her in.

- Careful. - Wait, wait.

We'll get going.

Thank you.

Come.

- Sit here. - Thank God!

You're finally home. No worries now.

- Where are the sweets? - Sit.

Don't leave without having sweets.

- Get the sweets. - No need.

You rest up.

Saradindu, bye. Take care.

Mala.

Move into a flat with an elevator.

You can't take the stairs anymore.

Indra will take me to a good orthopaedic.

I'll be back on my feet.

Why isn't he here?

I'll take you to your room.

Let's go inside.

Get up. Careful.

Easy there.

Come.

Hey.

What are you doing on your phone?

Texting everyone that Aunt is back home.

You never reply on the family group.

Why don't you?

I don't like texting.

You should talk face to face. Look into their eyes.

Speak from the heart.

Have a heartfelt conversation.

Uncle.

Whenever I meet you, I think about it.

About what?

I don't want to go to USA.

Please tell Mom.

Out!

Get out!

See, you didn't have to go to USA.

Why do I need to?

I'm not a successful man by modern standards.

You're an ideal human for me.

I've always wanted to be like you.

But you look down on yourself.

Don't let go of this opportunity, Ishan.

A good job and a high salary

are essential these days.

I had a simple job.

A big car. A grand house.

A huge bank balance.

These things didn't matter to me.

But times have changed now.

Changed, my foot.

I'll have to run the rat race.

Won't have time for my parents.

I'll have to change.

No.

You'll decide who you'll become.

I'm sure you'll make time for your parents.

I couldn't strike a balance between values and success.

I want you to do it for me.

Hey, stop!

From now on, we'll only hug.

Have some tea.

You'll feel better.

The tea will make you feel better.

Bengalis cheer up when they have tea.

Right.

Tea brings us instant warmth.

Some people are very warm too.

They make you happy.

Just like Ishan.

Indra was a warm person too.

I didn't realise when he changed.

Mala thought...

Indra would take her to a good doctor.

But I didn't.

So I started arranging for money.

Sorry, sir.

You don't have any pension. No savings.

And you're retired.

Can't give you a personal loan.

This is very old, sir.

You won't get much for it.

We don't take gold without hallmark.

Thank you.

Open the box.

Dad is here.

Set up the cake.

- What took you so long? - Sorry for being late.

Pablo, come here.

- Hurry up. - Birthday boy, Pablo?

Come fast.

- Look who's here. - Come on.

- Mr. Pablo. - Grandpa!

Thank you, Grandpa!

- Happy birthday, big boy. - Thank you.

Here you go.

Hurry up.

If sir finds out...

I've brought you to the temple, he'll fire me.

I've got late because of him.

Lata.

Make a video call to Riya.

Why?

I offered prayers for Pablo.

Let me wish him over video call.

She won't answer your call.

Yeah, right.

You know everything.

Stop here.

Call her.

I'll change my name if she answers.

I bet she won't answer.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Pablo - Happy birthday, dear Pablo

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Yeah! - Yeah!

- Indra. - What?

Take it there.

- Cut the cake. - Okay.

- Cut the cake. - Yeah.

Look here, everyone.

Hello, Mother.

How are you, Riya?

I'm good. Tell me.

I offered prayers for Pablo for his birthday.

Put him on. I'll wish him.

What?

Come again?

It's very noisy here.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

Pablo will call you later.

I won't take long. Just--

Bye.

Give me the phone.

Let's go.

She answered the call.

What should I call you now?

You can call me whatever you want.

I'll always answer.

"Night and day for whom I stay awake

keeping my hope alight?

So ecstatic is my heart. Startled is my hearing.

And my eyes fervid with yearning."

Get up.

Have your dinner.

Come.

Careful.

I'm okay. Sit.

What's this?

The doctor said you need more protein.

So it's all yours.

As if you don't need it.

The doctor said I have too much of it.

There's so much protein I can donate it.

Pablo must have grown taller.

Haven't been here in four months.

God knows what he eats now.

He'd only have tiger prawns.

He'd call it...

thick-headed fish.

Thick-headed fish!

- Mom, I'm warning you. - Keep it down, Papai.

- Please, Papai. - How many times do I have to say?

- How dare you? - Calm down.

Don't interfere.

Debashish is not home. I'll check what's wrong.

Don't get involved.

Stay out of their business.

Do you hear me?

I'll have to interfere if needed.

If we only think about ourselves

what's the point of living in a society?

- Let me go. - Do as I say!

Did you hear me?

Get the files now!

Go!

What are you waiting for? Go!

Keep quiet.

Open the door!

Cut the drama!

Debashish is not at home.

He's in Bangalore.

Why did you open the door?

- Shut the door! - Okay.

I have to go. He is mad at me.

Hold on.

Why is Papai shouting?

Debashish is not home.

And Papai is forcing me to sign some papers.

Sign?

What papers?

What's this?

How did you hurt your head?

Go inside!

What do you want?

Get lost!

Why are you shouting?

I'll do whatever I want in my house.

It's my personal matter.

No, it isn't.

It's not personal if other people can hear it.

Get lost!

Nonsense!

No, no, no!

- Did you hit your mom? - Yes, I did!

I'm not answerable to you.

Of course, you are.

Your dad is my friend and neighbour.

We're extended family.

- Get lost! - Hey!

Let go of my hand.

Don't butt in, oldie or else--

Or what?

See what this oldie can do.

I'll show you.

Please let him go. I beg you.

He's lost it.

He doesn't know better. Please let him go.

There can be a bad son.

But never a bad mother.

Leave right now.

Don't come back until your dad's home.

Why the hell should I listen to you?

Leave or I'll call the police.

Leave before it gets worse.

Go. Get out.

Get out!

I won't spare you.

Beware!

Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Go inside.

That's when I realised...

...we're not the only one suffering.

Our children are ill-treating us in our own home.

Can you believe it?

Aren't parents responsible for spoiling their kids?

Of course, they are.

Parents have to learn to love their kids conditionally.

What's wrong?

Why are you still up?

Mala.

King Dhritarashtra wasn't just born blind.

He was blinded by love for his son too.

And Queen Gandhari, his wife...

Instead of helping him see, chose to blindfold herself.

They ended up losing everything.

I know. Now go to sleep.

It's late. Go to sleep.

Mala.

Do you ever feel like Gandhari?

No, never thought about it.

But I think about it.

I don't want to be a Dhritarashtra.

Parents' blind love have turned kids into inhuman monsters.

So much so that they don't mind hitting their parents.

Who is it at this hour?

Indra.

- Indra? - Yes.

Hope everything's fine.

Hello.

Are you alright?

Oh!

Okay.

I see.

Great!

See you.

Okay.

Indra wants us to babysit Pablo tomorrow.

Really? For the entire day?

- He'll be with us all day. - All day.

Oh my God!

Hey.

- How much for these? - It's Rs. 1200 for one kg.

- Twelve hundred? - Yes.

Give me a big one.

- Is this okay? - Yes.

- My grandson will have it. - Oh, nice!

Here you go. Three hundred bucks.

Pablo is still not here.

- Is this Indra's car? - Hey, look.

- There he is. - Yes, it's him.

- Our Pablo is here. - Finally!

- Let's go. - After you.

Pablo, don't run. Careful!

- Grandpa, I'm here! - My champ is here!

- I'm here! - My dear boy!

- Your little monster is here. - Yes!

I'm going to eat you up now.

Don't be naughty.

I'll handle him.

Come inside. Come.

Won't you come inside?

- I've cooked for you. - Mother.

We'll come later. Need to rush now.

- See you in the evening. - See you.

Mom, don't make dinner.

I'll get Chinese food.

It's your favourite, right?

Let's go.

Don't cook.

My little devil!

My sweet pea!

My baby boy!

Look at that!

Yeah! Thick-headed fish!

That's it.

- Grandpa. - Yes?

Where's your fish?

Won't you have it?

My fish?

Look. It's right here.

The head.

And the tail.

Broke it into halves.

Now in goes the head.

Oh my God!

Come on.

Time for the next bite.

Now it's your turn. Very good.

Please tell me that story.

- Of the man-eater. - Sure.

It was your dad's favourite story.

"Man-Eaters of Kumaon".

But he couldn't say "Kumaon".

He used to say "Man-Eaters of Kumro".

- "Kumro" instead of "Kumaon"? - Yes.

Did Dad live with you?

- Yes. - Of course.

Babies always live with their parents.

They get scared otherwise.

Do they leave when they're not scared anymore?

Our monster kid is talking too much.

I'm going to cut your belly.

- Rip it open. - Oh my God!

Put the fish inside and seal it.

Then I'll chomp on it.

Finish eating. Then we'll go out.

We'll have fun.

Come on, eat up.

My dear boy.

Sit here, Pablo.

So did you like it?

The horse? The pyramid?

- I loved it. - I know.

- Will you have something? - Yes.

- Your tea. - Have your tea.

Thank you.

- Give him some biscuits. - Here, Pablo.

I'll have it with tea.

No, no!

- What happened? - Oh my God!

Don't worry.

Get the toothpaste.

I'll get it.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

Blow on it.

There, there, don't cry. It'll be okay.

Put it here.

- It's going to be okay. - You'll be fine.

- You'll be alright. - Don't cry.

Wait, I'll get it.

It's going to be okay.

It won't hurt anymore.

Don't cry.

- Come. - Got some Chinese food.

- What's wrong? - Pablo!

What happened?

Why are you crying?

- What happened? - Mother?

- Why is he crying? - What's wrong?

- Pablo? - Nothing...

He spilled some hot tea.

- What! - It's okay.

I've applied toothpaste.

- It's a burn. - Don't worry.

Show me your hand.

- It's going to be okay. - Feeling better?

You'll be alright.

That's my boy!

- Don't worry. - You'll be fine.

Dad.

Do you have a minute?

- Need to discuss something important. - Sure.

Did you get the second opinion?

For what?

Your mom's knee operation.

Oh, yes.

I'll do it soon.

Need to talk to you about something else.

What is it?

Tell me something, Dad.

Are you still in touch with Sarit?

Your friend from college?

He was into politics.

I know who you're talking about.

Our company is setting up a new office in Sector-V.

The construction is on hold.

Riya's dad couldn't help either.

Sarit Chatterjee is the local councillor of Sector-V.

He can get them to restart the construction.

So, Dad.

Please call him and solve my problem.

I'll mail you all the documents.

You have to help me.

I might get a promotion.

- It's long overdue. - So...

you're not getting promoted for your work?

Only work doesn't lead to promotion nowadays.

Go out and see the world.

It has changed.

No, the world doesn't change. People do.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I haven't.

Never asked for favours.

Never taken undue advantage of anyone.

And I never will.

You're not getting it.

It will help me.

- Don't you understand? - I do.

Sarit is not the same person anymore.

His ideologies have changed.

Work hard.

You'll get a promotion.

I just knew...

I knew you wouldn't agree, Dad.

Your silly values aren't worth a damn.

Can't you help me for once?

You wanted to see Pablo.

So I brought him over.

But you burnt his hand.

Can't you be a little helpful?

Can't you help me out for once?

Stop staring. Move!

Stupid morals!

Let's go home. Pablo, come on.

- What's wrong? - Get up.

Why are you leaving?

Why don't you ask Dad?

- Where's your dad? - In the terrace.

- I'll have dinner here. - Lata...

Behave yourself!

- Don't scold him. - Do as I say!

- Stop scolding him! - Come on!

- Keep quiet. - Come!

- What's wrong, Indra? - I won't go.

- Where's his bag? - Here.

Come on.

- Let's go. - No...

Don't go!

He hasn't eaten.

- Let him have dinner. - I won't go.

Don't do anything for me!

Selfish parents!

- I want Chinese food. - I'll get it for you.

Forget your grandpa and Chinese!

They left without having dinner.

No flat breads?

No, Indra sir said he'd get Chinese food so...

Are you okay?

- I'll get some water. - Easy there.

Have some water.

- Drink it up. - Be careful.

Get me some puffed rice.

- Puffed rice for dinner? - Yes.

I thought the food was brought with love.

But now I see it stinks of terms and conditions.

I'm not sure.

I agree his son is disgusting.

But the case has no merit.

How do I explain it to him?

My dad would've slapped some sense into me.

Sorry.

You're right.

That's what the judge will say.

How will I counter it?

I'll tell you.

A slap can make someone disciplined.

But not good human beings.

I'm an old-fashioned man.

Never borrowed money until then.

I went back to my old office.

Still had goodwill.

So they gave me one lakh rupees.

It gave me a lot of courage.

Amitabha had brought some good news.

But I wasn't in the mood to celebrate.

What do you want?

Nothing from you. Need to talk to Mala.

No, you don't.

Get lost!

I want to meet Mala.

What are they doing?

God knows what they're up to.

- Let me talk to her. - Get lost!

- Leave. - No.

- Should I check? - No, they'll get mad.

Mala!

- Please go... - Mala!

- Listen, Mala. - Hey!

We need to talk.

Why are you sitting beside my wife?

- Your wife is my friend too. - So what?

- I'll sit beside my friend. - Any problem?

Stop it.

- Tell me. - Don't tell her.

I will tell her.

Please tell me.

We've been planning a school reunion for the last 12 years.

- Is it finally happening? - Of course.

But this fool won't go.

Why not?

Why?

You're not well.

He can't leave you alone.

Please go.

Give your wife some space.

Go meet your friends.

Mala.

You're in so much pain.

How can I have fun?

Why don't you get it?

I'll be happy if you're happy.

I'll come over early.

I'll take care of her.

Please go.

I beg you.

Problem solved.

Thank you, Lata.

- You'll go. - Are you sure?

Go and have fun with your friends.

I promise.

I'll wait for you in perfect condition.

I'll hit you with the brinjal.

Keep it.

Sir.

- Here you go. - Yes.

Wow!

Bye.

Bye. Take care.

Is Aparna coming?

Yes, she is.

Going to meet her after ages.

Don't forget you're old.

This is unfair.

You're jealous, aren't you?

I have better things to do.

- Can I say something? - What?

You're my first love.

And my last.

Okay, fine.

Take photos with Aparna and send me.

Okay.

Keep the phone on. I'll send you the photos.

Okay, then.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Thank God you're here. - Indra?

Go to my flat and wait for Riya.

She's forgotten her keys.

Don't even ask.

I have to go for a meeting. I'll be late.

Riya won't be able to get in without the keys.

Our maid has been on leave.

Riya has been doing everything alone.

- I... - Listen, Indra.

Your dad is on his way to a school reunion.

Give me the keys.

I'll go and wait for her.

What! Have you lost it?

Why?

You can't even walk properly.

Let Dad go.

Is... Is there no other way?

My house is full of expensive stuff.

I can't just trust anyone.

Actually...

we're having this reunion after 12 years.

Don't know if we'll ever meet again.

Skip your party and help me this once.

Please.

I shall be obliged.

I'll drop you to the metro station.

Let's go.

I'll put you on the AC metro.

Don't worry.

Come on.

Five-hundred and twenty bucks.

For what?

Curtains from the laundry. Give me Rs. 520.

Just a minute.

Hello, Indra.

Someone has got the curtains.

He's asking for Rs. 520.

So pay him. Why are you calling me?

And please hang the curtains.

Riya is hosting a party tonight.

Bye.

Hello?

I don't have change.

- Will adjust it with the next bill. - Hey...

- Saradindu! - How are you?

Where are you? Why are you late?

- We're missing you. - Reunions are no fun without you.

I flew down from Boston.

You couldn't come this far?

How are you?

You've forgotten us.

No.

I still miss my school days.

Remember Aparna and you acted in "Romeo and Juliet"?

I had a huge crush on him.

You guys won the first prize.

We made you treat us to snacks.

We've spent the best days of our lives together.

Saradindu. Promise me.

Promise me we'll meet before it's all over.

Please.

I promise.

- Bye, Saradindu. - Bye, Saradindu.

Yeah.

Right.

Everything's ready.

You guys can come over.

Okay, we're on our way.

Hold on a second.

- Father. - Yes?

Indra said you'd hang the curtains.

- Yes, I was doing-- - Let it be.

It's okay.

Please don't bother.

I'll get it done. Okay?

Will you take a bus or should I book you a bike taxi?

I'll manage.

Okay, bye.

Close the door behind you.

Hello.

Sorry. Are we ordering in?

It's up to you.

Obviously, I'm not going to cook.

Ma'am, here you go.

Sorry.

Carry on.

I had decided...

I would never forgive Indra.

But life is very cruel.

Circumstances force us to let go of our ego.

Mala's knees gave away completely.

- What happened? - My goodness!

How did you fall? Get up.

Wait!

Don't pull me. Wait.

- Give me a minute. - Get up.

I'll help you up.

Come on. Be careful.

What happened?

Why didn't you call me?

Come here.

Don't pull me.

Now lie down.

- Come on. - Hold on.

My God!

Let me call the doctor.

I'll never be able to walk again.

Don't say that.

I'll be right back.

Is it hurting here?

- It's hurting. - Hurting a lot?

Does it hurt here... Alright.

It's okay.

I'm prescribing an injection.

Okay?

Continue for seven days.

And...

arrange a wheelchair for her.

Wheelchair?

Yes.

Her left knee is in bad shape.

Her right knee isn't any better.

No standing or walking for now.

When are you planning for the operation?

We haven't decided yet.

You don't have much time.

She will be crippled for life due to negligence.

I can't let that happen.

- I'll take your leave. - Thank you.

Give me the bag.

Bye.

Didn't you tell your son about her condition?

I did.

Send me all the mails.

Am I clear?

Tell me.

Your mom can't walk anymore.

She's on a wheelchair.

That's a good call.

Or else it was getting difficult.

- The doctor said-- - Forget it.

Why did you come to my office?

You could've called me.

And what are you wearing?

Couldn't wear something decent?

Why do you do this?

To gain sympathy, right?

Ridiculous!

Can you...

please lend me three lakhs?

Lend you?

What's this new drama?

Why do you need the money?

For Mom's operation?

I will pay you back anyhow.

Don't give me that nonsense.

Please spare me.

You have no idea about my expenses.

I just bought a new car.

I have to pay for the car and home loan.

Forget it.

Pablo got into a new school.

The admission fees are so high these days.

You have no idea.

How would you?

You raised me without any money.

I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't urgent.

I said I'll get a second opinion.

Put her on painkillers.

Please understand. This is an emergency.

People save up for emergencies.

Did you?

You didn't.

I spent all my savings to raise you.

Because your future was the biggest emergency.

Emergency or investment?

You made an investment.

To get good return on it.

I was a good investment.

Like the golden goose in Aesop's fable.

I'll stop laying eggs if you kill me.

You'll have nothing.

How will I pay for her operation?

You want me to beg?

Enough!

Enough is enough!

What the hell!

You're so clumsy.

Sorry.

What's this for?

For the glass.

I'm sure it costs less.

Keep the change.

Keep the change.

Bloody mess!

So?

Did you eat something with Indra?

I...

I am not able...

to do anything for you.

I couldn't do anything...

I'm not able to...

What's wrong?

Why are you crying? Please tell me.

What happened?

I promise you.

I'll arrange money for your operation.

- I know. I know. - I promise...

- You will do it. - I will do...

Please calm down.

I know you'll arrange the money.

- I'll get the money... - Please don't cry.

Don't cry.

Stop crying.

Any other property apart from your house?

No.

If you don't pay mortgage installments on time

the bank will seize your house.

I'll ask my daughter for help.

- Let me try. - No.

Let me try.

I'll ask you if I need help.

Sir, I'll mortgage my house.

I need the money immediately.

Okay.

You should inform Indra.

He's not answering my calls.

There's a lot of pressure at work these days.

He must've missed them. Drop a text.

Tenth anniversary gift from hubby.

Thailand trip!

Just came back. Still in holiday mood.

#BestHubbyEver!

He's forgotten all the values you've taught him.

- Operation successful. - Thank God!

It went well.

So don't worry. She's absolutely fine.

Okay? Thank you.

Thank you.

Indra might've forgotten what I taught him.

Until I remind him...

I won't stop.

I found out Mom had an operation from aunt.

What do you want now?

You would've known if you answered my calls.

- So you're here to fight? - No.

I want to know

why didn't you pay for the operation when you had the money?

Obsessed with bloody surgery. To hell with it!

She could've had the surgery later.

She couldn't move around anymore.

So ask her to rest.

Why move around?

She's not an athlete.

Wow!

We're old so we should rest.

We're not humans.

Only you have the right to go out and have fun?

Now I get it.

This is the problem.

You saw our photos on the family group.

And got so jealous, right?

- Jealous? - Yes.

Jealous of you?

I have nothing to be jealous of.

You're worthless.

You have no time for your mom.

No time for us.

You don't care about us.

I just want to know something.

You had the money for a holiday.

But not for the operation.

Why did you lie?

My wish! It's my money.

I'll spend it the way I want.

I can't celebrate my 10th anniversary again.

Do you understand that?

I do.

I do.

Your priorities have changed.

I do understand that.

The operation is done.

So you did have the money.

Then why did you ask me?

Wanted to extort money from me?

No.

We don't want any money.

We want our son. Our daughter-in-law.

Our grandson.

Is it too much to ask?

Don't we have the right to ask for it?

You could've spend some time with your mom.

All her pain would've gone away.

- You know that. - No, I don't.

Neither do I want to.

Please leave me alone.

Let me live life my way.

I'll spend my money however I like.

I can't take your lectures anymore.

I've had enough of them.

Your ethics.

Your ideology.

Your sense of duty. Enough is enough!

Give it a rest.

Stop it.

Leave.

What are you staring at?

Get out!

Disgusting!

Waste of time.

What does your wife think about filing the case?

She might never forgive me for it.

That'll leave you all alone.

Think it over.

Am I doing the right thing?

Absolutely.

Then I'm ready to fight alone.

Done!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, everyone.

Please! Excuse me.

I have some good news.

We're opening a new office in Sector-V.

And all credit goes to...

Mr. Indranil Bose.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Will we get the promotion party?

- Yes! - Yes!

- Party! - Party!

Okay, we'll have a party.

- Party! - Party!

I'll throw a party for everyone.

I'm extremely thankful to all my colleagues.

This is a huge achievement. You're all a part of it.

So, thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

- Thank you. - Party...

Sir.

What's this?

Court summons for you.

Please let's get back to work.

- Come on. - We have deadlines to meet.

Thank you, sir.

For choosing me as your lawyer.

Kunal, keep an ambulance on standby.

- Okay. - Saradindu is right.

We must have an ambulance on standby.

There are too many oldies.

And we have to keep them alive.

We're all getting old.

Most of our children are settled elsewhere.

Dad.

What's this?

Answer me.

You don't know?

What's this for?

Have you lost it?

Keep it down.

This is not your drawing room.

Why should I keep it down?

Let them know you've filed a case against me.

You don't seem poor.

Having fun with your friends.

Jobless bunch!

Indra--

I know what you want.

Attention.

You want to set an example.

You have forced me to.

Discuss this in private.

No need.

I have nothing to hide.

Withdraw the case. Right now!

Hey!

Behave yourself in front of your father.

If you misbehave again...

I'll slap some manners into you.

What did you say?

If you misbehave again...

I'll slap some manners into you.

You've heard me loud and clear.

Okay, fine.

You heard him?

I'm disowning this man.

Don't blame me later.

You want to go to court, right?

I'll see you in court.

Beware!

Ma'am!

Ma'am.

- Ma'am. - What?

Sir has filed a case against Indra sir in court.

Indra sir was here.

They had a fight and he stormed off.

Who gave you the right to take my son to court?

I have the right as his father.

How did he neglect you?

He gives you money every month.

Even though he has his own expenses.

You want more?

Calm down.

You'll choke.

How much more do you need?

I don't want anything.

Mala.

You can be blinded by love for your son.

But I can't.

He sends Rs. 15,000 every month.

Is it enough?

Our monthly medicine cost?

Five thousand bucks.

What about the other bills and expenses?

Does it cover them all?

We'll kill ourselves if it doesn't.

But won't file a case against him.

I didn't file the case for money.

He doesn't have time for us.

He doesn't care about you.

He doesn't respect me.

He uses his son to bribe us for his selfish interests.

He gets drunk and misbehaves with me.

I've filed a case against that man.

And...

One more thing.

It's my duty as a father to teach him a lesson.

You could've talked to him.

You could've sat him down and had a talk.

Would he have come?

Do you think so?

Don't do this.

Don't destroy my family.

Please withdraw the case.

Do you love me?

If you love me, you'll withdraw the case.

I love you a lot.

And I don't need to prove it.

But...

I won't withdraw the case.

I still can't believe...

...he did this.

Look.

Your mom is constantly calling me.

She's texted me 15 times because I'm not answering.

Here.

"Please listen to me. I didn’t know about it."

Blah, blah, blah.

Your dad files a case against you.

And your mom emotionally blackmails me.

Perfect team, Indra.

They called from the housing society.

Asked me what's going on.

What should I tell them?

My dad is crazy.

Selfish.

Greedy.

Will you have any trouble at work?

Roy and Mukherjee want me to get fired.

I'll obviously be in trouble.

Dad has no reputation and he's ruining mine too.

I'll see this to the end.

- Won't spare him. - Listen.

Don't worry.

My dad has hired a lawyer.

He's one of the best.

Okay?

- Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning.

Ready? Let's go.

- Is Mr. Bose here? - Yes.

The typist thought my dad has filed a case against me.

He knows my dad well.

What's wrong, ma'am?

- I'm nervous. - But you're never nervous.

If I lose, not only Mr. Bose, but all parents will lose.

And you know what?

Parents can't lose.

Please sit.

Case number M1354 of 2024.

Mr. Saradindu Bose v. Indranil Bose.

Okay.

As per the direction passed by the honourable Supreme Court of India

in Rajnesh v. Neha and Anr...

both the parties have filed assets and liabilities, right?

- Yes, sir. - Yes.

Sit.

The petitioner advocate has filed it on his behalf.

What are the grounds for filing the petition?

Tell us.

Under Section 125 of CrPC

my client has filed the petition against his son.

Opening statement, please.

Your Honour.

Suppose you're a middle-class father.

You put everything in raising your child.

Your savings. Your money.

Along with your love and dreams.

You give them everything.

But when they grow up, you become insignificant.

You're abandoned in your house depending on your child.

Yes, sir.

Dependent.

In our country...

more than 15 crore people are above 60 years.

That's what the data says.

Most of the dependent, elderly parents are...

abandoned.

Some don't get enough money.

Some don't get any money.

But the parents keep quiet.

Their love and sacrifice is rewarded with loneliness and neglect.

Still, they keep quiet.

Because most people don't know about this.

Under Section 125 of CrPC...

one can't shirk responsibilities with an allowance of Rs. 15,000.

We have to look after our parents within our means.

We can't ride luxury cars...

while they travel on a crowded bus.

No!

We can't dine in five-star restaurants...

while they can't afford one-square meals.

No!

We can't wear expensive clothes...

while our parents are in rags.

No! No, sir.

The law will not accept it.

The Supreme Court of India has mentioned this standard of living.

For not giving his parents what they rightfully deserve...

I, Indrani Sen...

am filing a case against Indranil Bose on behalf of Saradindu Bose.

And I will win it.

Thank you, sir.

Defense, opening statement.

I'm appearing on behalf of the opponent.

He's the biological son of the petitioner.

Carry on.

My learned friend put it beautifully.

It's true.

Parents are abandoned in their own house.

Sad.

Really sad.

But what should children do?

Should they give up their jobs to be with their parents?

So that parents are not under emotional or psychological stress.

But what will they eat if there's no money?

No money, parents will file a case.

No time, parents will be under stress.

What a fix!

Parents raise their kids to be an ATM card.

We've educated you. Give us money.

We've raised you. Give us money.

We've taken care of you. Give us time.

Pay us for telling you bedtime stories.

What a conundrum!

Children don't ask to be born.

Why bring them into the world if you have so many issues?

Silence!

Your Honour.

I, Advocate Bikash Munshi, will prove...

that Saradindu Bose is a lazy, greedy and selfish person.

He filed the case just to get attention.

I think...

I will win it.

That's all, Your Honour.

Present your case, Petitioner Advocate.

Your Honour.

I want to call Saradindu Bose to the witness box.

Proceed.

Mr. Bose.

How much does your son send every month?

Rs. 15,000.

Okay.

What's your son's monthly income?

I don't know.

I'll tell you.

Your Honour, here's the copy of Indra's pay slip.

Mr. Bose.

Why did you take voluntary retirement?

Please tell the honourable court.

I've worked for Chatterjee and Chatterjee CA firm

all my life.

When my son, Indra... I mean, Indranil...

received a gold medal at graduation...

I was the senior portfolio manager.

One evening...

...we had some guests over.

I have a surprise for you.

What is it?

Your mom and I have saved seven lakhs

for you to pursue MBA in Kolkata, Mr. Gold Medallist.

This is the surprise.

There you go.

Your dad has already arranged the money.

That's why we're celebrating.

All the best for your MBA.

You have to get a gold medal.

Are you crazy?

Who said seven lakhs is enough to do an MBA?

What do you mean?

Seven lakhs!

Everyone told me.

Fees for an MBA course in Kolkata is around seven lakhs.

Right, only in Kolkata.

But I don't want to study in Kolkata.

I want to go to Singapore.

I've got into a university there.

You've got no idea.

One doesn't need a gold medal to study MBA in Kolkata.

Anyone can do it.

It's a competitive market.

Quality matters.

There's a world beyond Chatterjee and Chatterjee.

But you won't get it.

No point telling you.

So I didn't.

Now forget it.

How much do you need?

Thirty lakhs.

Do you have it?

What are you thinking about?

I...

I've made a decision.

If you say yes, I will...

When have I ever said no to you?

I've decided to take voluntary retirement.

I'll get a huge sum of money.

That'll be enough for Indra's MBA.

As a father, I must give my child the best.

Your Honour.

Parents go above and beyond for their children.

It's very natural.

That's what always happens.

Did it happen in this case?

Objection, Your Honour.

Indra knew why his dad opted for VRS.

- He's misleading the court. - Not at all.

Please calm down.

You carry on.

Your Honour.

Saradindu Bose...

had planned to send his son abroad with the money.

But he couldn't.

Indra took a loan to study abroad.

I present exhibit eight to the court.

Indra took an education loan of 25 lakhs

and went to Singapore to study MBA.

- Is that true? - Don't know, ma'am.

What did he do with the money?

Mr. Bose probably squandered it away.

Who knows?

Objection, Your Honour.

He can't insult my client without proof.

Be careful with your words.

Pardon me, Your Honour.

No further questions for Mr. Bose.

I want to call my client, Indra, to the witness box.

Go.

Get information from the bank.

Indra.

After your dad took voluntary retirement...

did he work anywhere else?

No.

Can you tell the court why not?

Sure.

My father thought he was too good for most jobs.

Even when he got another job, he didn't do it

because it was beneath him.

I requested him a lot of times.

"Do something. Earn something."

But he didn't want to work.

Because of his ego.

Saradindu.

Are you sure about the job?

You have to go all the way to Chandni Chowk.

You have to manage the accounts in a small shop.

Mr. Boral.

No job is too small.

Some water?

- What happened? - Feeling unwell?

- What's wrong? - Are you okay?

You have arrhythmia.

It's too strenuous for you.

You have to stop travelling in public transport.

Am I clear?

I'm prescribing some medicines.

Take them daily.

See if you get better.

A father whose ego stops him from working...

Objection. He's misleading the court.

A father who demands a huge monthly allowance...

Objection. Misleading the court.

Can he claim he's been abandoned by his son?

No. You're misleading the court.

He worked as an accountant at a shop for five months.

He couldn't continue because of arrhythmia.

Here's the pay slip and doctor's prescription.

Wow!

So Mr. Bose seems well off.

He's using his retirement money to file a case against his son.

Objection. Personal attack.

Don't try to mislead the court.

Please address the court. Not me.

I've been a lawyer since before you were born.

Oh really?

Then don't you know you can't misguide the court?

What a fool!

Seems like she's bought her law degree.

Oh, please! I know whose boots you lick.

But won't get into that.

I'm a Bengali.

Don't teach me the law.

I'm a Bengali too.

- But with a spine. - Really?

Then you must be a great cook.

Invite me over some day.

- I'd love to taste your food. - Sure.

You're my senior.

If you win the case, I'll give you a treat.

Silence!

What's wrong with you?

Maintain decorum.

- Pardon me, Your Honour. - Pardon me.

Okay.

I'm setting a date for the next hearing.

October 23rd. Okay?

The court is adjourned for the day.

The lawyer is doing his job in court.

- You can do something too. - What?

It'll help win the case.

What?

Here you go.

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

Where did Saradindu get the idea to file a case?

From the Hindi film.

Remember we watched it together?

Hey.

Go inside.

Mala.

Did Gokul call from California?

No.

I'm sure he's influenced Saradindu.

He's lost it ever since his divorce.

His wife took away everything.

Even the mattress.

Indra and Riya don't answer my calls.

Don't even reply to my texts.

They're not in the right frame of mind.

Don't mind them.

It's a tough time for them.

I am so embarrassed.

- Uncle did the right thing. - Oh!

So you're the traitor?

- You provoked Saradindu. - Me?

Forget it.

Watch this.

Hello.

I am Riya Bose.

My husband, my son and I...

We built a home together.

We were a happy family.

We work hard to earn a living.

And build our son's future.

My husband sends money to his parents every month.

Everything was alright.

But then my father-in-law filed a case against my husband.

A civil suit.

For negligence.

We were stunned.

We've never neglected our duties.

New clothes for festivals.

Cakes on birthdays.

We got them everything.

Everything.

So how did we neglect him?

Look at that.

His greed...

His unnecessary demands...

His endless desires...

A person who is so greedy...

Should we call him...

...a father or a fiend?

I'll leave it to you to decide.

Sir.

What happened?

Why are you crying?

No...

- Is everything alright? - Yes.

Then why are you crying?

Sir.

You're working so hard.

So that ma'am can have another knee operation.

So that you can pay off all your debts.

So that your wife gets more protein.

But they're talking rubbish about you.

Check your phone.

Everyone has the right to speak their mind.

We'll keep doing our work.

Won't take their words to heart.

We're trying...

to help those who've gone astray.

To guide them back on the right path.

What's this?

Where are you going?

Where are you off to?

It's none of your concern.

Because of you...

our relatives are so embarrassed.

My neighbours are ignoring me.

My son and his wife have cut off ties with me.

They never answer my calls.

I'll never forgive the man who hurt my son.

Give me the bag.

Your righteousness. Your sense of duty.

It can all go to hell.

Okay, got it.

- Let me go! - Calm down.

Lata.

Take the bag.

- Have some water. - I'll get it myself.

I don't need your help.

- Have some water. - Give me the bottle.

Guess who's insignificant? Me.

I'm crippled.

That's why I'm a nobody. I don't matter.

I'm leaving the house.

Why are you leaving?

This is your house.

You've made a home out of it.

Once your other knee is operated on...

I will leave the house.

Now have some water.

No need.

Here you go.

Have it. Sit down.

Come on.

Have some water first.

You can fight later.

Come on.

Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

You know what?

Old parents...

get a lot of sympathy from the people.

If the same happens in this case...

then...

we'll have to get the media involved.

- Take some favours. - No problem.

Don't worry about it.

I have a lot of contacts.

- I'll talk to a leading news channel. - Great!

Who was it?

Your wife?

No, it was Mom.

Why didn't you answer it?

Can't take her melodrama anymore.

Hey, Indra.

At this point of time...

your mom's sentiment is very useful.

He's right.

It's an asset for you.

Make sure she's on your side.

You'll benefit from it.

You'll get a lot of mileage out of your mother's love.

Call her.

He's a genius.

Call her. Come on.

Listen.

Your mom didn't file a case against you.

Right.

- No rivalry. - Not at all.

There's only unconditional love between you two.

The unbreakable bond between a mother and her son.

True.

- Call her. - Come on.

- You're amazing. - I know...

By the way...

My fee has increased.

- Look into it. - Of course.

I'll send you the bill.

I'll take care of it.

Win the case for us at any cost.

Hello, Mom.

Are you well prepared?

Yes.

Don't get nervous with the opposition's questions.

He will ask trick questions to confuse you.

Just keep your calm. Okay?

Don't be nervous. Okay?

Case number M1354 of 2024.

Mr. Saradindu Bose v. Indranil Bose.

Your Honour.

I'd like to call...

Riya Bose to the witness box.

Proceed, please.

Mrs. Riya Bose.

Didn't Indra want to pay for his mother's knee operation?

Indra immediately wanted to pay for it.

In fact, we wanted to cancel our trip.

But Father wanted to get a second opinion.

He wanted a top-tier hospital and a well-known doctor.

We have to say all this in court.

So, Mala Bose is not here with you?

No, she's here.

- Mother is here with us. - I see.

She knows what we've done for her.

She knows her son loves her a lot.

That's why she's sitting beside him.

Thank you.

You're excused.

Thank you.

Your Honour.

I want to call my next witness, Mala Bose, to the stand.

- Mom, go-- - Objection, Your Honour.

Defense has to submit a notice before presenting a new witness.

Basics of law. Isn't it?

Saradindu Bose has filed the case

for negligence of the maintenance of parents.

But one of the parents is sitting beside my client.

She knows the mother is dependent on her son.

And the son knows his parents are his responsibility.

The son is on the mother's side.

The mother is on the son's side.

So in what way is the mother neglected?

- What's the point of the case? - The point?

Does the mother being by her son's side

means she's not neglected?

Great!

Mr. Munshi.

In that case, why isn't the son sitting beside his father?

Your Honour.

That is the case.

If sitting together determines how responsible he is...

then clearly, Indra hasn't taken any responsibility of his father.

You've just proved my point, sir.

Thank you so much.

Order! Order! Order!

Silence!

If the defense wants to call a new witness

submit a revised witness list.

The court is adjourned for the day.

Date for the next hearing.

November 3rd.

Come.

Get in.

Hey!

Shame on you! You call yourself a father?

You should rot in hell. You deserve it.

Shame on you!

You're a disgrace of a father.

- Shut up! - Filed a false case?

No doubt your wife left you.

Indra...

- Shame on you! - Who's this?

It's an ongoing case.

The verdict isn't out yet.

Trying to play the judge? Get lost!

Take her to the cops.

Behave yourself.

Sir, are you okay? Some water?

Please help your dad.

He's being attacked. Don't leave him behind.

Dad has brought it upon himself. Let him be.

- Indra, please... - Forget it.

The number you've called is currently switched off.

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

What are you doing here?

Saradindu is never so late. God knows what happened.

I wanted to get off the car.

Couldn't figure out how to open the door.

He'll be home. Don't worry.

Let's go inside. Watch some TV.

Come on.

Come.

Careful.

My God!

What did we want?

We wanted to...

have a grand wedding reception.

What's wrong in that?

Riya and I paid for our reception at a five-star hotel.

Dad didn't spend a penny.

Hey!

Listen.

Do you have any sense?

Don't say a word in front of Riya's family.

Just smile and nod. Keep quiet.

How could you think I'd get married in a cheap community hall?

This is my wedding.

I'll have a grand reception.

Or I won't get married.

Am I clear?

Figure it out.

We'll be able to pay for the reception if we sell the jewellery.

We'll break our fixed deposit if it isn't enough.

Okay?

What's wrong with you?

We'll be left with nothing.

Don't give in to his unreasonable demands.

One more thing.

We shouldn't spend beyond our means.

You did it too to send him abroad to study.

For his career. Not for a party.

Just give in to his wish one last time.

Why will we lose everything?

Our son is getting married. We're getting a daughter-in-law.

Our house will become a home.

We won't lose anything.

Dad is extremely selfish. Only cares about himself.

Liar!

Shameless!

I'm not wrong.

Isn't he ashamed of himself?

Is he really your son?

He's greedy and lazy. Doesn’t want to work.

He wouldn't have to beg for money if he did.

Extremely lazy!

Book a cab.

Here comes the oldie.

Let's get him.

Hey, uncle.

Your private matter is out in the open.

- Shame on you! - Papai.

- Move out of my way. - What?

Why do you need so much money at this age?

How much did you extort from your son?

- Give us some. - Out with it.

How dare you touch me?

How dare you raise your hand?

How dare you?

Get lost!

- Get lost! - Saradindu.

- What are you doing? - Move it.

- Get lost! - Get going.

Don't bother him.

Please calm down.

You'll fall sick. Come, sit here.

- Don't react to everything. - How dare they?

Are you okay?

Will...

Will you... have some water?

Cheers to Indra's victory!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Wait, guys.

The case is sub judice.

Another party after he wins.

- What say? - Absolutely!

Of course, we'll party.

If Bikash didn't suggest I call Mom...

we wouldn't be celebrating right now.

"Call your mom.

You'll get mileage.

Unbreakable bond."

Hello, Godhuli.

Yes?

Is Mala at your place?

No.

Oh!

She's not there?

No. What happened?

Nothing.

Where did she go?

Indra.

You should ask your mom to stay with us for a few days.

We'll get an advantage at the next hearing.

Great idea!

I need more wine.

- Pass the glass. - What will you have?

Someone get me a glass of...

Oh damn!

Indra...

Indra.

Oh no!

Mom! You here?

She wanted to see...

how low can you stoop.

Seen enough.

Let's go.

Wait, Mom.

Come on.

Mom.

Mom, wait. Hear me out.

Please listen to me.

Let's go.

Make me a large one.

I thought you've left home forever.

Where were you?

I called everyone.

No one knew where you went.

Lata.

Where did you take her?

What do you want?

Want me to withdraw the case?

I promise I'll withdraw the case.

But don't leave me.

Please don't leave me.

I can't live without you.

Do as I say.

Please try to understand.

I'll withdraw the case.

Don't you trust me anymore?

I can never find a better lawyer than you.

But Mala doesn't...

Don't worry.

Here she is.

There you go.

Come here.

Please come.

- This way. - Mom.

Come.

Mom?

I'm here.

Took me a little time but...

So?

The case is on?

Yes, Indrani.

Our case is still on.

I don't understand...

Sit.

Please sit.

Case number M1354 of 2024.

Mr. Saradindu Bose v. Indranil Bose.

Petitioner Advocate, proceed.

Your Honour.

I want to call Mala Bose to the witness box.

Proceed.

Mrs. Bose.

Why did your son move out?

Objection, Your Honour.

My witness has turned hostile.

Mala Bose was on my witness list.

Don't get so worked up.

You'll get a chance to cross-examine. Relax.

- This isn't a game of ludo. - I prefer chess, sir.

Silence! Silence!

Lawyers, approach the bench.

Did your witness turn hostile?

Don't even ask.

Mr. Bose has brainwashed his wife into changing her statement.

That's subject to proof. Right, sir?

Okay. Please continue.

Tell us, Mrs. Bose.

Why did your son move out?

I guess it was my fault.

Hey, have your dinner.

Come fast.

It's so late. Come, sit.

We've already had dinner.

Hey, Riya!

Listen to me.

- Don't be mad at me. - Stop it!

- Please let's go inside. - I feel suffocated.

I can't stay here.

- Why don't you understand? - I do.

- You just don't get it. - Calm down.

- Come with me. - I won't stay here.

- What the hell! - It's my final decision.

- I won't stay here! - Okay.

Why are you fighting? What happened?

- Tell me what's wrong. - Nothing.

- Talk to me. - Let me go!

Out of my way!

Deal with it.

Why do you have to butt in?

Riya.

- Let's go, Riya. - Where are you going?

- Your dad is not home. - Doesn't matter.

- Are you seriously leaving? - Stop it!

Don't leave, Indra.

You should've given us space.

- Cut the drama. - Didn't I give you space?

- Riya, come fast. - No, wait.

- He's not listening to me. - Move.

Hear me out.

Have I made a mistake?

- I'm sorry if I have. - Let us go.

- Please forgive me. - What the hell!

- Stop it! - Mother, please!

Don't do this.

No use saying all this.

We've made up our mind.

We're going and that's final.

I'll die of depression if I stay here.

- Don't say that. No! - That's enough.

- Let us go. - Let your dad come home.

- He'll be home soon. - Don't go.

- Please don't go. Indra! - Enough is enough.

Indra...

Indra!

Don't go! Come back!

So tell me.

How often did Indra and Riya Bose visit you after they moved out?

Once in four months.

Okay.

I'm sure your son wanted to pay for your operation.

No.

Why?

Indra...

Indra had said he didn't have the money.

Really?

Your Honour.

Mala Bose needed immediate knee replacement.

Indra said he didn't have money for the operation

but he went on a trip to Thailand.

Even though his son earns more than two lakhs per month

Mr. Bose had to mortgage his house to pay for the operation.

Submitting the papers as exhibit.

Objection, Your Honour.

She's leading the witness.

Can't the witness speak for herself?

Only if you stop talking.

Please!

Behave yourself.

Pardon me.

Your Honour.

Defense claimed Indra and his wife paid for their wedding reception.

That's what Indra said to the media.

But...

The receipt for the sale of jewellery.

Bills paid for the five-star hotel and car rentals at the reception.

All the papers have Mr. Bose's signature on them.

Objection, Your Honour.

No one keeps a record of their daily expenses and

holds on to the utility bills all their lives.

They wouldn't get tax returns on them.

It's crystal clear.

He wants to extort money from his son.

Your Honour, pardon his ignorance.

This is the story of every middle-class person.

My dad still keeps a record of all monthly expenses.

He keeps the utility bills.

Even holds on to the train tickets.

But my dad is neither filing a case against me.

Nor asking me for money.

Indra might've gone abroad on an education loan.

But his dad did send him 30 lakhs from his retirement fund.

Maybe...

he squandered all the money.

So he had to take a loan.

Here are the details of the transaction.

Submitting it as exhibit.

That's all.

Court time is over.

Adjourned today.

Careful.

- Come. - Watch your step.

There she is.

- Mom. - Aunty.

Mom!

- Dad. - Mother.

Mom, I need to talk to you.

Indra.

We'll sort out our differences.

- Just say-- - You want money, right?

That's all you want.

Dad.

I'll give you seven lakhs. Withdraw the case.

My husband is not for sale.

Why did you slap your son?

What were you talking about?

You slapped him in public?

Looks like you're the one who tortured him.

Enough!

A mother hits her son only when she's deeply hurt.

Do you realise that?

Do you understand that?

Let's go.

Three hundred and one.

Three hundred and two.

Two hundred and three coins.

Oh my God!

Pablo is a rich man.

What will you do with so much money?

Mom said the lawyer is charging a lot of money.

When I grow up, I'll become very busy.

I won't meet you.

I won't answer your calls.

Then you'll file a case against me too.

So I'll have to hire a lawyer.

That's why I'm saving up.

Three hundred and four.

Three hundred and five.

Three hundred and six.

Three hundred and seven.

Three hundred and eight.

Three hundred and nine.

Hey.

Get up...

- Please get up. - Huh?

- What happened? - Not feeling well.

- What's wrong? - I don't feel well...

- Some water. - Yes.

Here you go.

Have some water.

You're in pain because of me.

You did your duty as a father.

A mother's love is blind.

It's not your fault.

Why are you sweating?

I'll call Amitabha.

We'll take you to the hospital.

No, don't go... Stay with me.

Don't leave me.

Just sit here with me.

I miss the good old days.

When Indra was a kid...

you used to give him piggyback rides.

He would say he felt like a bird.

"I'll fly like a bird!"

Promise me something.

What?

When all this is over...

you'll forgive Indra if he realises his mistake.

It's your duty as a father to show him the right way.

It's your duty to forgive him as well.

I promise you.

I'll do as you say.

- Now rest up. - I don't feel well.

Get some rest.

- Can I go to sleep? - Yes.

Go to sleep. I'll fix everything.

Remember? "I'll fly like a bird!"

I...

I'll make things right.

Don't worry.

Sleep well.

I'm feeling...

I'm feeling restless...

Feeling uneasy...

I want to see you.

Let me see you.

Don't talk.

Close your eyes.

Try to sleep.

Section 125 of CrPC.

Right to an adequate standard of living.

Children must provide for their parents according to their means.

Not only give them money.

But children should make time for them.

Should take care of them.

Should share their joy and sorrow.

A parent's life revolves around their child.

All they want from their children, in return, is some love and time.

My learned colleague, Bikash Munshi, had asked...

Should a child give up their career to be with their parents?

"Hello, Mom.

How are you?

Does your knee still hurt?

Are you taking your medicines?

Pass the phone to Dad.

Hello, Dad.

Watched the match last night?

Virat Kohli was on fire.

Anyway, I'm coming over on Sunday.

We'll spend the day together."

Or...

"Mom. Dad.

It's becoming difficult to stay with you.

But I'll try to adjust.

I won't move out."

How does that affect anyone's career?

This way, parents get to spend their last days with their children.

Silence! Silence!

Your Honour.

I want to say something.

Please take the stand, Mr. Bose.

Your Honour.

Everyone asked me to call Indra.

I told them he is very busy.

He won't be able to come.

But they didn't believe me.

He might listen to you.

His...

his mom has passed away.

If he could take some time out...

Please tell him, Your Honour.

He might listen to you.

Don't talk.

Close your eyes.

Try to sleep.

Mala.

Mala?

Mala!

Mala...

Mala. Mala...

Hurry up.

Indra is here.

Go inside.

Mom.

I know you can hear me.

Get up.

When I made a mistake as a child...

you would cover up for me.

You'll have to do it again.

Get up.

Wake up, Mom.

It's all your fault.

You gave me everything.

You kept giving.

That's why...

I never learnt how to be giving.

I only kept taking.

I have to say sorry.

Okay, enough now. Get up.

Do you remember?

Dad used to say...

"the bigger the mistake, the louder the sorry".

I've taught Pablo too.

He's so naughty, he doesn't say sorry loudly.

He only whispers.

Get up.

Mom.

Mom!

Get up, Mom.

Please, Mom.

I promise you...

I'll fix everything.

We all will live together again.

We'll go on vacations.

We'll go pandal hopping in the Durga festival.

Will you be able to walk?

Will your knees hurt?

We'll only see the lights then.

You...

You like Chinese...

You like Chinese food.

We'll have Chinese food every day.

Please get up.

Get up, please. Mom...

I'll get biryani for Dad.

Mom.

Mom!

Get up.

I'll fix everything.

Mom...

Please get up.

Don't do this to me.

Mom! Mom...

Why are you crying?

Tell me what happened.

- What's wrong? - I promise.

I'll arrange money for your operation.

- I know. I know. - I promise you...

- You will do it. - I will...

Calm down.

- I know you'll get the money. - I will...

I can't stay here.

I'll die of depression.

Don't say that. I won't let you go.

- No, don't go. - Stop it.

Please don't go!

What an idea! "Call your mom.

You'll get mileage out of it.

Unbreakable bond!"

Go and have fun with your friends.

I promise I'll wait for you in perfect condition.

You're my first love.

And my last.

- What happened, Indra? - I won't go!

Get me Pablo's bag.

- Let's go. - Please don't go.

Let's go talk to Dad on the terrace.

Pablo, come with us.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

May she rest in peace.

Sir.

We've won the case.

The judge has called for additions in Section 125 of CrPC.

Children have to spend time with their parents.

And treat them with respect.

Bye, sir.

I'll see you again.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you, sir.

Dad.

You taught me...

the bigger the mistake, the louder the sorry.

Sorry, Dad.

Sorry, Dad!

Sorry...

Sorry...

Sorry...

Sorry!

- Promise me something? - What?

When all this is over...

you'll forgive Indra if he realises his mistake.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Grandpa.

Sorry.
