Majnu..

Majnu..

Majnu, get up, brother!

Gate closed after midnight.

There was no ride, brother!

Had to walk the whole path,

I'm only three minutes late. Please, open it.

Why don't you ring the manager and explain the whole thing?

Don't push me, Majnu! Open the door.

Even if your head boils and bursts, I'm not moving an inch.

The door stays shut.

Adnan!

Hello, Mr. Public pleaser! Don't you have final exam tomorrow?

Can you come down and smack the shit out of this m***erf***r?

Wait up! -What did you say?

You gonna smack me?

Why are you gonna smack me? Huh?

You lot wander the streets at night, up to all sorts of dodgy business,

and I should patiently wait to swing open the gate for you?

Am I your butler or-

Let go! It hurts!

Sir, let me go!

Ba***rd!

I was only three minutes late!

Dodgy business, huh? I was at the library!

Open it, quick!

Yikes!

F***er barely wore any clothes underneath.

Heck, gotta wash my hands now!

Can't risk catching the virus!

Move out of the way!

Get in.

Heck! Why am I giving it to you?

Lock it.

I'm definitely telling the landlord, mind it!

Don't even bother. I've got this.

What kind of loser keeps someone stranded for being 2 minutes late?

Farhan

Be a good boy and do my assignment, will you?

After all, it's a piece of cake to a genius like you.

I've got finals tomorrow.

Not everyone can live the carefree life like you.

I'm throwing in 2000 bucks. Come on.

How about 5000? Just do it.

Seriously, if I had a rich daddy, tossing money around would be a breeze!

I'd do it for 10,000. No less.

Fine, deal, bro!

May I come in, sir?

Come in, Farhan.

Greetings, sir.

He is the one I was talking about.

How did the exam go?

It was good.

Our orphan lad here.

Life has thrown quite a few curve-balls at him.

He's from an orphanage, has been through the wringer

at the child center.

Occasionally got some support from various projects

at the social service center.

Even managed some tutoring.

Unfazed by hunger, fueled by perpetual need

He toiled tirelessly to reach here.

to soon be a Computer Science Graduate.

Allah can work wonders, can't He?

Sir, I have some place to be. If you don't mind, I want to leave.

Oh, haven't explained why I called you yet.

Meet Rakib Anwar.

He might come in handy for a job in the future.

You got a strong reference.

The lad is brilliant.

Why won't I refer him, you know?

Besides, if you pat an orphan on the head,

it's a direct ticket to the Almighty's good books.

Teacher!

Teacher!

You don't travel much, do you?

'Course I do. Why are you asking?

Name some of the places.

Let's see. I've been to Kuakata Jaflong, Ratargul. Why do you ask?

You call these traveling?

If you've been to countries like France, Switzerland, Sweden

that's called traveling.

Anyone can go to Kuakata, Jaflong, Sundarbans, you know?

Come closer.

Mommy!

Just wanted to kill that mosquito on your cheek. Now finish the math.

Please, don't stop. Just give me company.

I think someone is following me.

They've been following me for a while.

Put out that cigarette.

Can you recite the Dua Yunus?

Come again?

I hope you know how to run.

My record isn't that grand. I always ended up last.

Anyway, can you handle a sprint when I count from 1 to 3?

Sorry?

And keep reciting the Dua Yunus.

Three!

Ran after ages, you know?

Shit!

My brand new sandal is all ruined.

If I knew I had to run away,

I wouldn't have asked for your help, did I?

Who were you running from?

I can hardly see a soul.

Of course they were after me. There were at least 2 to 3 men.

You think I'm crazy?

You don't say. Then you must be grateful to me for helping you.

Instead, you're showing me attitude. -Help?

You call that help? I literally had to run to save myself.

Oh I see.

What did you want me to do?

Engage in a brawl with the goons? Look how slender I am.

One kick from them is enough to send me packing out of the city!

Besides, I haven't had lunch yet!

I know you can run but it’s more important to know when to run

It's all about understanding the timing.

Hey, rickshaw

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world

Sorry?

Something's wrong with your shoes.

I didn't come up with it. Marilyn Monroe did.

Wear shoes like mine, not goat hooves.

To always stay prepared to sprint, you know?

considering how things are these days.

By the way..

I'm Farhan.

I study at RUET

CSE, final semester.

Nice to meet you.

Go.

Go. Start paddling, man.

Actually, nobody was following you. Bloody cheat.

Wasted a perfectly healthy cigarette for nothing.

Raihan..

Can't you stay a bit longer?

She'll be home soon. Why don't you say Hi to her?

It's already late.

It's not right for the ladies of a house to be out so late.

Oh! It's not like that.

She started a new business recently. Late-night work is now occasional.

It's not a constant occurrence.

She must be around by now. That's why I told you to stay.

However, what was the other thing I wanted to discuss... Aaa

There she is.

Hey! Sharmin, how are you doing?

I'm fine.

Excuse me.

Probably she is tired, you know?

I'm off.

Listen..

Make sure she knows.

as soon as possible.

Okay?

Make it your priority.

Why is she into business? Who said she should?

Late nights every day.

A decent girl doesn't stay out this late.

It falls on all of you. for spoiling her, Mom!

Shafiq, let it be.

What do you mean, let it be?

If something bad happens to father, she will solely be dependent on me.

Doesn't she realize that her wedding responsibility falls on me?

What time is it? Why are you acting like I've come home at 9PM, not 7:30PM?

Do I take money from you? Why are you stressing over my marriage?

What?

God! same old shit again!

We moved to this house just five months ago.

What will the neighbours say?

Why can't your son stand the sight of me, Mom?

Shafiq,

I'm still alive.

-I haven't died yet. -Huh, so what?

Mother!

Despite knowing everything about her,

Raihan is willing to forget everything and accepted her.

He has agreed to marry her!

Doesn't she get it? Is Raihan a bad guy?

Your friend Raihan? He's a useless piece of shit,

with no character whatsoever!

Who is he to validate me?

What did I do so wrong anyway?

Yeah right. Let's just go and ask everyone of your deeds.

Tell me to my face, let's clear things up for good

Look at her, Mother.

So arrogant, arguing face to face!

That's why I oppose excessive education for girls.

Quiet! Both of you!

Just cool down for God's sake.

Sharmin,

Don't you understand

how much tension we're in because of you?

Relatives haven't stopped gossiping about what you did!

You're foolish if you think she realizes it

If she did, she wouldn't have done it! Shameless girl!

Dragged us from Khulna to Rajshahi.

Why? Sacrificed my thriving business, cut ties—all for her.

Just to give her a second chance in life. To get her married to a decent bloke.

And see how she talks to me!

Ungrateful.

Thank God for Grandpa's old house

We'd be on the streets otherwise!

For one mistake...

will I have to endure a lifetime of punishment?

I am trying, aren't I?

So that because of me...

our family are never looked down upon again.

I don't even get respect from my own people.

Now, I'm to be wed off to a new family.

How can I expect respect there?

There's a verse from Chanakya:

Don't let anyone know the weakness you have

...broken from within.

As people break into the house where the walls are... left open.'

Allah sent Adam into this world

for making that one mistake.

To err is human.

To amend is divine.

After all..

My daughter is a supergirl!

She is mentally resilient!

My daughter will overcome everything.

Everything!

(Sydney, Australia)

What time is it?

What kind of girl stays out till 2 at midnight?

and who's that bloke

who just dropped you?

a friend!

friend?

what kind of friend?

He looks like a typical Aussie white male to me.

Are you kidding?

I am an Aussie. Of course my friend can be an Aussie.

You are a Bangladeshi.

Non-residential Bangladeshi.

No. That's you!

You are an NRB.

I am Australian by birth.

Who is that bloke, anyway?

What kind of friend is he to you?

Whoever he is!

I've now turned 19. So you can't control me anymore.

Hey you!

Any idea how late it is?

That's what you're supposed to ask your daughter..

whether she knows how late it is!

Mom, I did it! I have passed!

That's right!

-Get me the hammer, will you? -Be right with it, sis!

Thanks. You can go.

Hello. Greetings.

Is it Dream Lantern Event Planners?

Yes. Speaking.

Can you please connect me to your boss? We are looking to hire someone

to manage a birthday event.

Sure. Carry on. I am the one in charge.

You don't say! You're the boss?

But you are a woman.

Trust me, brother. You can rely on me.

We were the event planners for a big wedding just a few days ago.

You can find all the details, photos, and

more on our Facebook page related to that event.

No, thank you. Our event is too significant.

CAUTION, ROADWORK IN PROGRESS.

God! Another repair work!

Hey Missy,

Listen up.

Just a moment.

What are you carrying in that bag?

Let's see what's in your bag, shall we?

Illegal stuff, huh?

You're into something fishy, aren't ya?

I can tell it just by looking at your face.

Decent girls don't stay outdoors after sunset, right?

What do I see in your bag?

What do you want?

What are you wandering around with?

Some sort of dope, isn't it?

What's inside your bag?

Please, let me go.

What's inside your bag? Let's see.

What's inside your bag? Let me see. Let us have a bit of that pleasure!

Bitch has sprayed me! She has bloody sprayed acid me, stop her!

Stop! Hey!

You B** Stop I said!

Stop I said!

It bloody hurts!

What did you spray him with? Huh?

Was it acid or what?

Hey! Leave her! Let her go!

What? What?

What do you think you're up to?

Oi mate, What's your game, huh?

stickin' your nose in our business?

What in the hell you want?

What are you waiting for? Call Brother Siddik!

Which Siddik?

How many Brother Siddik you know down here?

He happens to be her cousin.

Go on! Call him.

Well, we were just passing by, and the lady..

got scared and ran. So, we...

I get it. You guys are innocent. Call your brother. Tell him to come.

Listen, she fell, and I was just trying to help her up.

No problem.

Call Brother Siddik. Let's settle this. The truth will come out.

No, no, don't bother, sis. We're leaving.

My eyes hurt!

Sister! Have you sprayed acid in his eyes?

Chili powder.

Thank God!

What?

Nothing, nothing..

My eyes are burning as hell! -We're leaving.

That's right. Scram.

Every evening, do you...?

This road is deserted, actually.

Well..

Every city has a couple of such shady alleys,

avoiding them is good.

Thank you!

..for coming to my rescue.

The main road has been under construction for the last few days.

So, I can't take the auto from the office.

Just avoid this alley. Simple.

There's no way around it.

I have to take this alley.

I see!

Okay. I actually teach around here.

If you want, I can escort you every day

until the main road gets fixed.

Only at this hour. if you don't have any problem.

Who is Brother Siddik?

No idea.

Vote for Siddik Saodagar, Councilor candidate.

Why did you say I'm his cousin if you don't even know who he is?

Saving lives is paramount.

Besides..

It's okay to lie a little when you're bent.

If they stop me again and ask about

Siddik's father's name, what should I say?

Use it.

You've some dirt there.

Don't worry. Let me..

hand you my phone.

Save your number. I'd text you all the details about Brother Siddik.

What the f--

It's dead.

Hey Rickshaw!

Shaheb Bazar Patti?

Oh! Really?

My place is down there too. At Alu Patti.

I live in a mass.

Why don't we go--

Never mind. Take care.

Go.

Excuse me.

Stop.

Hey, stop, stop.

Any problem?

I've got my final semester results today.

I have graduated.

I've made it.

And you're telling me this because..

I don't know..

Maybe because I don't have anyone to share this news with.

That's why.

Okay then. Take care.

Why are you limping?

It's nothing.

Worried your friend won't marry a girl with a limp?

A disabled girl will be accepted, but not a wedding decorator as a bride.

Fine, tease away. One day, I'll prove myself to all of you.

On these front tables, there will be a flower vase each, okay?

And this is the bride's table.

Alright, where is the carpet? If we don't cover it with a carpet,

it will look messy.

Sure thing!

Hello! I'm over here. Turn to your left!

Hello!

Oh hell! It's raining.

Oh Hello!

How can you just barge in like that?

What took you so long today?

There was a Haldi ceremony event, that's why.

I've been waiting for you for quite a while, you know?

I didn't ask you... to wait for me, did I?

Hey! Don't you know any manners?

Why did you come under my umbrella without asking?

And the rain even rushed to cease.

Do you go by Elachi Begum or something?

Sorry?

You make a face like you've just come across Elachi while eating biryani.

Just imagine.

Here it is.

-What is it? -The Chronicles of Brother Siddik.

His father's name, mother's name,

how many wives he got, everything is there.

You can keep it.

Name: Siddik Saudagar.

Occupation: Politics. Date of birth: 1/1/1984.

Birthplace: Rajshahi. Educational Qualification: 3rd class in 10th Grade.

Father: Akkas Saudagar. Mother: Bosira Khatun.

Blood sister: Shamsunnahar, Step sister: Khairunnnesa.

Shaheb Bazar Patti.. -Ok. Wait.

This isn't a joke.

Can I borrow your umbrella? I'd return it tomorrow.

The rain might come down again.

What makes you think I should?

To rescue me from catching a cold.

just pop a pill, you'd be fine.

Let's go.

Akkas Saodagor.. Bashira Khatun...

Aunt: Kawser Begum Aunt's daughter: Distant..

Cousin: Imaginary

Elachi Begum (Miss Cardamom)

'Elachi Begum'

Are you sure it can't be taken orally?

Told the doc about your 102-degree fever. It's an emergency.

He handed me this to shove it up your anus.

Seriously dude? You gave me the most f**ked up pills of all.

Bhaia.. (her brother)

Can you come pick me up from the alley?

Stay right there. I'm on my way.

Wanna take a drag?

What's the point staring when you can't puff it?

Actually, buddy, you know,

We have a lot of similarities.

Like, no fixed place to go back at the end of the day,

just like me.

Nobody really get my potential,

except you.

Yeah?

You've got it right. I should stand for elections.

But nobody will vote for me except you, you know?

No, F**k BCS. That's not..

Why do you look so shabby all the time?

Like you just got out of prison or something.

You...

here?

Are you unwell or something?

Yep. Thanks to your blessings, I caught a fever that night.

What are you talking about?

Am I your enemy to wish upon you the suffering of a fever?

Then, are you a friend?

Nice try!

Can you read that dog's mind?

I guess I do.

Johnny, sit here for a bit.

Sing Ms. Elachi Begum a song.

Chin up. Come on.

Johny Johny,

yes papa?

Eating sugar?.. No Papa.

Why are you gawking at me like a fool?

We're both gawking at you.

What does he say?

Phone no.

You're so pretty that he's dying to get your number.

Son of a bitch doesn't have any manners.

Blame it on his street life.

I don't want you to call me Elachi Madam anymore.

I don't like it.

Sorry

And stop gawking at girls.

It makes them uncomfortable.

Sorry again.

But you came all this way to see me. How can I look elsewhere?

Why would I come to see you?

I'm here for a relative who studies here. I came to meet him.

Really? Who's this relative?

I've never seen you on campus before.

Just because you haven't seen me, can't I have a relative here?

I've explored every corner of this campus.

If you really were around, we'd have crossed paths at least once.

That's a very weak argument.

A fallacy.

You missed me.

Haha, impossible

Vanished for just two days,

and here you are,

worried about my well-being, came all this way to find me.

Admit it, you missed me.

The confidence of this guy!

You.. missed.. me.

I've to go.

Really? You are going?

Really? You are going?

I'm definitely calling you if I catch a fever.

Hello -Hello?

I'm Farhan, Fever Farhan.

Want to have it?

First, tell me if I should tell her or not.

What if she says, No?

Huh? What do I do then?

Listen..

if I don't, how will I know her feelings?

Worth the try, isn't it?

Let's see what happens.

Yeah right.

Like you have places to be. What? Still want this?

Why don't you live in the halls?

I don't live in the halls because I don't like it there.

I stay in a mess because I can be myself there.

I can do whatever I want.

Farhan bhai..

-What is it? -You have a visitor.

I don't know why.. but you look a little different today.

Really? Okay.

Or maybe it's just the way women are.

They look one way in the morning,

in the afternoon another, in the evening something else.

And at night, a whole another thing.

By 'whole another thing', I didn't mean anything inappropriate.

I wanted to say, they look the same

it just came out wrong. Don't think I implied anything.

No. Seriously, I was just trying to back one "different" with...

It's okay. I get it.

Come. Eat.

Aren't you hungry?

You! I'm asking you something. Aren't you hungry?

Good boy!

You won't?

You're done eating for the day, is that it?

-Sit tight. I'll be.. -Where are you off?

Be right back in 15 minutes. Stay there.

Tell me one thing, Johnny. Is he always like that?

Johnny One, Johnny Two Johnny Three!

How far is it?

We're almost there. Hold your breathe.

Where are we going?

Just wait. You will see.

Little further.

Now, open your eyes.

Ms. Elachi.

I love you.

I have never seen anyone...

propose a girl with a pair of shoes.

If you give a girl the right shoes

.. she can conquer the world.

I have never...

...experienced...

...falling in love.

...and

I was in never in love.

Everything has changed since you came into my life.

I guess.. you're planning to reject me.

I understand.

I don't think these shoes are returnable either.

It's not like that, Farhan..

Actually..

I have a past.

When I was studying in Khulna,

I fell for a teacher.

Having a crush on teachers is a universal thing.

It happens to the best of us!

But not everyone ends up in a scandal.

I was in love with him.

We had a six-month affair.

Then one day, in the corridor,

..just when we were about to kiss,

...someone recorded us and uploaded it everywhere.

The video went viral instantly across the entire city.

That person blamed everything on me, leaving me vulnerable.

Everyone made me shoulder the guilt

with hurtful comments.

Not a single relative stood by me in that trying hour of my life.

What the f**k is this?

TEACHER SHIFTS BLAME ON STUDENT, HOLDS HER RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING

My parents and my brother,

our whole family moved to Rajshahi only for my sake.

My family has sacrificed a lot for my well-being, you know?

I want them to feel...

proud of me.

I want my parents to take pride in me.

Do you remember you said you have to take this alley?

I immediately sensed that you have a story.

That's when I felt a connection.

I know I sound very cliched, but..

Past is.. past.

If you delve into my past,

all you'll find is

emptiness,

darkness, and harsh reality.

To seek happiness, you'd need a magnifying glass.

On this bench, I've spent days just eating buns.

My past only taught me one thing

To live in the present time.

I don't..

I have no home, no family, no savings,

no past and no future.

All I have is this present.

These days, I feel wonderful thinking about the future..

..with you.

We'll have a little home...

a good job...

...going to the office in the morning ..coming back in the evening...

doing grocery shopping...

helping you with chores at home...

at noon...

..a cozy rendezvous after lunch..

... going out in the evening...

cozy rendezvous after having dinner...

watching a late night movie...

again cozy rendezvous next morning..

-You have no filter, do you?

again cozy rendezvous next morning..

It took me a while to get..

what you mean by cozy rendezvous.

Is that a problem?

Of course!

I mean, which one?

cozy rendezvous or not having a filter?

Both!

cozy rendezvous or not having a filter?

And here.. I thought,

we would face that classic problem-

Rich girl, poor boy.. complex!

The Notebook, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,

Graceful Family... Titanic..

Titanic!

'Rose'..

Be my Rose.

I'll love you a lot.

Will you love a man..

who has no baggage and only love to offer?

You can't lie to me.

You won't ever hurt me.

Never!

Where are you going at this hour?

And what kind of outfit is this?

It's called fashion.

Anyway..

I have to go.

Today, you will not go anywhere.

Hey, tell your daughter something!

Going to a night party wearing such inappropriate clothes?!

She'll take pictures at the party and post them on Facebook.

And my people, her uncles, aunts,

they'll all see those pictures and assume...

I haven't instilled any discipline!

Be warned!

You're not going anywhere today!

And if you disregard my words,

your pocket money is cut off from today!

Fine!

It's all about you and your mighty culture.

Someday I'm gonna sue you for being my dad.

What the hell, Mili?

Did you see?

Did you see?

If I had pulled off such rebellion with my dad,

he'd have cured it by using salt and pepper,

letting me dry in the sun!

How dare she! Thinks she can exchange me?

Hey! Am I a car model that

you can exchange whenever you please?

Is my life just a sitcom for your never-ending dad-daughter drama?

How dare of her!

Hey! Farhan... Come in. Come. Come.

Have a seat.

Look what I've got.

Scholarship from the University of Sydney, Australia.

It's for a Master's in Computer Science, including AI.

Apply for it.

I'll be your mentor, your sponsor, whatever you need.

Allah has blessed you with a tremendous opportunity.

Aren't you happy?

Sir, I'm actually thinking of securing a job here

so that I can settle down.

What?

Job?

Career?

BCS?

Don't you want to pursue a Master's?

I do, sir. Why wouldn't I?

As you know, I never had a family of my own.

Sir, I've been thinking, and it's time for me to start my own family.

What's holding you back from pursuing a Master's?

Many people go abroad for further studies even after getting married.

Sir, in my current situation,

who would want to marry me?

Besides,

it will take a long time to finish this degree.

No one's going to wait around for me to tie the knot.

Sir, please don't take it otherwise.

You are my guardian. You are my parent.

If you hadn't guided me, I could never have come this far.

But, now I want to be self-dependent.

I don't know how I will repay your debt...

I really don't know, sir, how I will do it.

Yes, you don't know!

You really don't know anything.

Do you have any idea of the kind of opportunity you're ready to let go of?

Fine. You don't have to decide right away.

Just.. hold on to it!

Sleep on it for God's sake.

Now leave.

You've agitated me quite a bit.

I'm literally having a headache.

Sorry, sir.

Sir. I'll leave. Assalamu Alaikum.

You've already let yourself down once with your filthy choice!

And now, you're aiming for a guy with no decent family background,

job, or stability.

Is this for real, Sharmin?

Please, consider the consequences.

It's a matter of your whole life.

I've already said my piece.

If I choose to marry, it will be him. No one else.

Sharmin, this is utter nonsense!

Over the past two years,

We've had numerous good proposals but you showed no interest.

What makes this guy so special--

He's a genuinely good person!

No hidden agendas, no tricks.

He's an open book.

If I marry, it'll be him. That's it!

Go on. Finish your tea.

It's too hot.

Listen, son..

Sharmin is my only daughter.

I always want to see her happy and smiling.

Do you have any relatives we can talk to?

No, Auntie.

What about a flat? lands and properties?

Come on!

Do we really need to ask such questions?

Nope.

All I have is a degree.

Sorry?

My only asset is my degree.

Listen, son.

From what I have gathered

I think you guys should take more time.

and re-evaluate.

Meanwhile, you get yourself a decent job.

Then we can talk about marriage again.

Just a job won't cut it, Dad.

How much can he get as a fresher? 25-30 thousand taka?

But brother...

No, Sharmin. I'm being practical.

It's better to discuss these things upfront.

So..

Is it feasible to maintain a household

in these trying times, with a salary of 25-30 thousand taka?

I'll be earning as well!

A BCS completed engineer had proposed to her.

He's very wealthy.

But she turned him down.

There was a proposal from a doctor too.

ASP, Magistrate, you name it!

But she denied.

Even my friend, a businessman, very wealthy.

He was also interested.

She rejected him too!

That's why now...

if we have to be involved...

we must first be convinced of you.

Why?

Why you?

Because, it's my life.

My wishes.

Alright.

Since it's your life, your wishes,

then why are you involving us, Sharmin?

Do what you wish!

I think..

..you should give yourself more time.

You both are mature enough.

Don't hastily make decisions

that you might regret later.

Take time to contemplate.

I've been offered a scholarship for Master's from Australia.

Once I graduate..

I can secure jobs at places like Google.

The salary there is in the crores.

Will that be enough?

More than enough.

I kept it to myself because

if I accept it, I'll have to be away for two years.

What if your family has a change of heart during that time?

It's a matter of your career, damn it!

You've got such a good GPA! You've so much caliber!

You deserve much more than all this!

What would you do down here?

A 9 to 5 job where you have to comply with your boss's wishes.

Treated like a dog, all for a capped income.

Everything can wait.

You pass up this offer today,

and one day, you will look at me Do you know how you will feel?

I had the opportunity right within my grasp

But I let it slip only because of this woman.

I can't let you blame me for your regrets.

Whatever support you need, I am right here, you know that, right?

You?

Yes. Me. Not my dad.

Sharmin, don't you ever..

Don't ever bring it up, please!

Never ever, ok?

I won't be able to live on someone else's mercy.

Why are you taking it this way?

Just don't say such things again! I can't take these anymore.

Alright. I'm sorry.

Sorry. It will never happen again.

Farhan, a vast world...

...awaits beyond this small town, calling you to explore!

Please, don't close the door.

You're so late! Did you really have to come at all?

Don't ask! Got late reaching aunt's place.

Started early in the morning,

but the traffic was maddening! What could I do?

Anyway, how long is your layover?

What time will you reach Australia?

I've to go.

Are you mad at me?

I've to go.

I've to go.

Hey!

Why is your hair all messy, love?

I've reminded you so many times to keep it neat.

And did you look at this T-shirt?

Couldn't you find a formal shirt?

I have to go.

It's time.

Wait. Wait.

1 minute.

Let me recite Dua Yunus.

Excuse me!

Sir, I have..

I left something important. Please! I'll be right back in 5 minutes.

I've never loved someone like this before.

Leaving you behind is truly scary!

What if I lose you?

I am not going anywhere.

I'll be right here waiting for you.

Rana Brother?

Yeah!

Hey! How're you, man? -Superb! You?

-All good? -Yeah!

I thought you were much older from your Facebook.

Turns out you're quite young.

Is this the only luggage?

Come on, let's go.

No. No. Keep the seat-belt wrapped.

Fasten it.

Life here is quite tough, brother. Traffic rules are strict.

So?

You came on a full scholarship?

No, brother, just covering tuition.

Oh, then you need a job quickly.

Bro, can I make an international call by this?

Did you get this SIM from the airport?

Yes

It should. Let's check once we reach.

Did my phone ring yet? -Probably not. I haven't heard anything.

Come.

This, right here..

..is the kitchen.

You should be able to find everything you need.

Mili?

Come here for a sec.

Meet Farhan.

I told you. He is our new flatmate. He just landed today.

Farhan, meet Mili.

She is new too.

She's from Melbourne.

Got here a few weeks back.

-It's nice to meet you. -Same here.

Studying in UTS?

Well, no. I'll be at University of Sydney.

We had another flatmate, Chris

who left for New Zealand a few weeks back.

Ok. I was actually going for grocery shopping. You guys carry on.

It's nice meeting you. -Same here.

Done. I've topped up your mobile.

It should last a couple of weeks.

and Here's your room.

What do you think?

Nice, nice.

It's good, isn't it?

You're not married, are you?

Nope. Engaged. Why?

No reason, just noticed you've been eager to make a call since you arrived.

I just wanted to confirm that I've arrived safely. That's all.

Makes sense.

Your top priority now is getting a job.

That won't be a problem.

I have connections with some of the cafes.

I'll put in a good word.

Do you have a driver's license?

Yes, yes. Got it before coming

Great. So, rest up. We'll talk more later.

I'm off.

Hey! When did you reach?

I was tracking your flight and noticed it land a while back!

Why did it take you so long to call me?

My heartbeat is racing like hell!

Really? Let's hear it.

You don't believe me?

Listen.

Okay? -Can't hear a thing!

Hey! Don't mess around.

Don't even get me started on this useless SIM. F**ker doesn't activate.

Oh God..

You're so far away!

Thousands of miles away!

How will I survive these two years without you?

Shall we fly back?

Shut up! Don't say that again.

Show me your room!

It's beautiful! Alright, show me that corner.

It's nice.

Okay, tell me about your flatmates.

You talked about a guy picking you up. Did you meet him?

Who? Rana bhai? Yes, he is also here with a room.

Listen, I gotta hit the head. Be right back.

Don't hang up. Hold on.

Ew...

No hand-wash,

No mug.

Only tissue paper!

Are you laughing at my misery?

Are you?

Let me rub it in your face!

This is the campus.

Wow.

Show me the other side.

No pay slip will be given.

Payment will be made in cash. $12 per hour.

Okay?

Make it $14, brother. And please, ensure that the chef treats him well.

Let him get started. I'll consider it.

I'm not liking it here anymore.

I want to fly back to you and take you in my arms.

Don't you dare!

I don't want to hear a word about it.

I'm always here for you, right?

We can talk to each other whenever we want.

Hey, why are you on the phone all the time?

Aren't you aware of the no phone on duty policy?

It's pretty quiet at the moment. So..

Sorry, no phone calls allowed during work.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Indistinct chatter]

We have to take care of all the requirements..

check the materials.. check how the food tastes..

Oh God..

You're so far away from me..

I miss you a lot.

There you are.

I've been trying to reach you for two hours!

I was worried!

Just got home. My phone was charged out.

Had a long day at work.

I know.. you won't miss me anymore.

long-distance relationship and all.

Out of sight, out of mind

You've been in my mind every second of the day

No matter where I look, I look for you.

Is it raining there?

Will you wear a saree?

I miss seeing you in one.

At this hour? Are you serious?

You know how tricky it is to handle the pleats.

I'll wear a saree when you decide to drape it for me after marriage.

Men are best at undressing pleats, not folding them back.

I told you.. no dirty jokes!

I'm hanging up.

Okay, I won't. promise.

I wish I could feel your skin through the screen.

I wish I could smell you.

I really wish I could hold you tight, thus drifting away to sleep.

How much longer, dear?

Another year and a half.

You are so far away from me.

Easy. easy, tiger.

I can't. I'll be late.

Good Morning.

Good Morning. Good Morning.

Good Morning.

Oh! it skipped my mind.

A man in a hoodie was being a Peeping Tom last evening.

Was he an Aussie or Lebanese?

None. He's an Indian.

Might also be a Bengali.

Middle-aged.

I went up to him to talk. But he fled.

Suspicious!

Next time you spot someone like that,

give him a good thrashing first,

then inquire about his intentions.

Why would he do that?

Should a decent person resort to violence?

I was joking.

What kind of joke is that?

Bad joke.

Are you okay? You seem kinda off.

What the hell!

Did you speak with Farhan? -Yes.

All this time, I thought I am the only idiot one.

Turns out, everyone in this house is one.

Listen, dad.

This guy definitely has some hidden agenda. I am sure of it.

He just settled in abroad. You'll see what unfolds.

Raihan was a way better suitor than him.

Shafiq...

The boy seemed honest to me.

He could not have come this far with his merit only...

If he wasn't honest and hardworking.

Dad, I have seen a handful of such men in my lifetime.

These men go abroad and then...

Scores a local chick and marries her only for 'Permanent Residency'.

It's actually easier for him as he has no one to come back to here, rootless.

Just look at her. Lost her mind completely.

What are you even saying?

It may sound ridiculous to you.

But, I have set my mind on living anywhere my daughter lives.

Seriously?

Or come back home?

The house feels so empty without you in it.

Farhan

This is my dad.

From Bangladesh.

Greetings

Greetings.

I think you guys met last night?

Just came to grab my ID.

Did you see? Did you notice that?

I bet you can’t find an Aussie respecting elders this much.

That's why I keep saying Bengali culture is the finest!

Unbelievable!

So, where can we find those cane chairs? -Sharmin?

What are you doing here?

Why? Am I banned or something?

Not at all. Have a seat.

Please.

Why put in the effort when you already have everything?

What do you want?

Tell me.

Alright, let’s cut to the chase.

Your video isn't the only reason you guys moved to Rajshahi from Khulna.

Can you guys get the sourcing sorted? I'll follow up on it later.

What is it?

That video is just one of the reasons.

There is one more thing.

Your brother…

He took out a huge loan...

To cover some losses.

He's indebted to several..

But..

I'm his biggest debtor.

How much?

More than fifty.

Thousand?

No, lakhs.

Would I be here if it was just thousands?

Anyway...

that's not the main issue.

I loaned him the money with the understanding that

I would become a part of your family.

But, now that your priorities lie elsewhere...

I’m uncertain about our deal.

Sharmin...if you're still willing...

to form a tie with me...

everything gets sorted out.

Otherwise.. I have to resort to law and all..

Don't get me wrong. Nobody wants that!

So you essentially wish to buy me with money?

That is the last thing I wanted you to interpret.

I'm not here to buy you or anything!

We often go the extra mile for our loved ones, don't we?

Sharmin? What is it?

Farhan? Can you hear me?

Hello? - Farhan, can you hear me?

Farhan?

Hello? I am in a bit of a hurry. Can we speak later?

Farhan, listen...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Dad! Dad!

All these days, I thought I caused the family a lot of suffering.

I could not show my face due to sheer embarrassment.

What happened?

That precious son of yours...

Has faced substantial business losses! Owes millions to people!

Just because he was unable to pay them back, he fled that place!

What's your point? Huh?

Point?

He pledged to marry off his sister to his largest creditor

to clear his debts.

Don’t talk rubbish, Sharmin!

What's going on? What does she mean by loans and creditors?

Dad..

You need loans for business purposes and to expand. What's wrong in that?

Yes, I took out some loans to cover pandemic losses...

I can get the default loans covered.

I did not bother anyone of you for this. Let me deal…

Dealing with it doesn't mean offering your sister to someone you owe money to!

I’ll smack your face! -Do not talk like that to me!

I will not stay in this house anymore! I am leaving!

I am leaving for Australia this month! -F**k off already!

Hello? You swine! I forbade you from saying anything…

Why the f**k would you do that?

I'll call her tomorrow.

What the hell!

Shafiq! Shafiq! -What happened? Someone get some water!

Call the ambulance! Let’s go! -Bhaiya? What happened? Maa?

Mili...

You should go back home.

Huh?

I said you should go back home.

You should go back to your family.

Ignore him.

Ignore him.

It's already been six months, and

he's still rocking that eau de cow dung from back home.

You know, Farhan?

You should value my independence.

I'm an adult now.

Where I'm going, what I wear, and who I go out with.

It shouldn't bother him anymore!

Yes!

"Whom I should date?” It’s..

It's none of his f**king business!

He still can't accept that I'm not a Bengali anymore!

I am Australian!

Anyway..

Come on. Let's dance.

Huh?

I can't dance.

I can teach you, come on.

I really can't dance, just so you know.

That's fine. Come here.

Alright?

Now dance.

Relax, relax.

I think it's a gastric attack that made me dizzy, doctor.

No, it's your blood pressure that has spiked. You need regular monitoring.

We've given you some sedatives; get some rest.

Doctor, I wanted to say…

You don't need to marry Raihan.

I...

I'll repay him, even if it means selling one of my kidneys.

Yeah, right!

The doctor told you to rest.

"Selling one of my kidneys."

Would you be able to pee without that?

What did she just say?

She said you won't be able to pee if you sell your kidney.

What even...

I'm done. I'm gonna go rest up.

Okay.

Where have you been?

I called you so many times yesterday...

And you didn't answer at all.

You were the one who never wanted to hang up before...

But now...

Sorry, baby.

This week has been hectic.

Flooded with assignments...

hustling from one part timer to another...

Then there's an exam tomorrow.

Why not quit one of the jobs? I'll send you money if you need it.

Sorry. I take back what I just said.

Actually...

I am sorry.

There is a..

...a research assistant position I applied for.

If everything goes well I'll quit the part-time jobs.

Enough of me. What's up with you?

Huh.. me?

I'm tired of all the shitshow going on around me.

My brother is an idiot.

Hey! Good Morning.

What happened? Why are you so spooked?

Aren't you supposed to be at work?

Nope. Day off.

Oh, I see.

Farhan!

Farhan! Pick up the phone!

F**k!

Who was that girl?

Relax, calm down.

Who was that girl, Farhan?

Her name is Mili.

She had a meltdown with her dad. So she moved in with us.

She is.. also.. one of our housemates.

I see.. So now..

you're literally living in with a girl.

What!

Have you lost it completely?

Right, I am the one who lost her mind!

You are living together with a girl and you expect me to say nothing?

A young girl is casually using your kitchen like it's her own..

wearing a sleeveless and I am the one who lost her mind?

Sharmin, calm down. It’s not just me and her here.

Rana bhai is with us too. All three of us live in this house.

Did you not think it was important to inform me about it?

Did it not cross your mind?

Why did you hide this from me?

Did I not say not to keep secrets?

My life is already in pieces because of one lying bastard!

Do not compare me with others, Sharmin! I did not lie.

What the f**k is there to hide here?

It’s just a silly thing. I never got the time to tell you about it all.

You think this is silly?

Do you know what will happen if my brother finds out?

You thought getting in the good books of my parents

gave you a free reign to do whatever you want?

I work my ass off for ten hours a day, everyday!

I attend the university

I come home around midnight

and make time to call you.

I stay up till four with assignments

Get only 3 hours of sleep before

I have to leave for class next morning!

So I don't have time to face your stupid accusations!

Don't you dare cuss when you’re speaking to me!

Speak politely!

Who asked you to share a house with a girl?

You'll leave this house immediately. By tomorrow, you're gonna move out!

I'm gonna cover your rent from here on. Just ask for it!

But you have to forget about sharing residences.

Stop this purse-proud attitude!

I told you not to make such offers!

Be rational for once, please!

I do not think I will get rates as good as this house near my campus.

And...sharing a house does not imply living together.

You are leaving this house tomorrow and that's final!

I need your Facebook login details.

to check what else you’re up to.

Gotta fix your Privacy Settings and all.

If my brother gets even a wind of the kind of guy you are…

He would dump the idea of this marriage down the drain.

Did you hear me?

Passwords and all the accesses!

Now I need your permission for everything?

Hell yes you have to!

I can't have a personal life?

No privacy, no freedom?

Now, I've got to babysit your brother on social media too?

Stop changing the subject.

Privacy doesn't give you the right to hide stuff from me.

Gotta go to work. I'm hanging up.

Do not hang up!

Look at his nerves!

How dare he hung up on me!

How dare he hung up on my face!

Sharmin, what happened?

Sharmin?

Nothing happened! Just go away!

Open the door.

The ‘tip’ on your forehead is misplaced.

How long would you ignore me?

So you're just gonna ignore me?

Need approval on this design, ma'am!

Can’t you handle it yourselves for once? Why do you always need me, goddamn it?

Ok ma'am. I've got this.

Listen, can you guys hold the fort for one day? I'm not feeling that great.

You do not get to teach me what is more important.

Just hang up.

Come on, man!

Just answer the call and be done with it.

She'll bombard me with questions!

Not necessarily.

I know her well.

She's overflowing with rage at the moment.

Has become excessively nagging!

Girlfriend problem?

Man, don’t get me started. Why are you sharing space with a girl?

Move out! Share your passwords!

You don't say!

Such atrocious demands!

Exactly? Do I not have rights over my own life?

Can't I have some privacy?

'Course you can. But, every girl in this world is the same.

Excuse me?

What did you say?

I mean.. they are..

They are such control freaks! Always hungry for power!

You are saying all these because you do not understand women.

Man, this is getting ridiculous! What the hell is wrong with her?

I mean..

What kind of girl does all this?

Can't you still answer her for once?

No!

Again?

F**K!

[indistinct chatter]

What's gotten into you?

Have you lost your mind? Why these constant calls?

Can't you talk to me for a minute?

No I can not! I have a train to catch!

You bastard, Go to hell!

Hello? Sharmin? Where are you?

Your brother has been hospitalized! Come quick!

Where were you?

I have been calling you for so long!

What happened?

Trust me, it’s nothing.

Doctor said he might be suffering from a heart disease.

He needs to undergo several tests.

Man, it’s just the gas acting up. Doctors are always exaggerating!

-Stop talking nonsense! -I do not know what to do.

Sharmin, I feel so clueless right now.

Where were you? At work?

I don't remember what I was doing or why..

What will happen to us, Sharmin?

What do we do?

Don’t worry, sis. I am here with all of you.

I am not going anywhere.

Listen, let me tell you something.

It might be tough to swallow but a truth is a truth.

Long distance relationships...

They do not work out!

At least, to my knowledge.

All these years I've been around,

I haven't seen a single relationship like that succeeding.

Because...

Distance is a bitch, my friend.

Months go by without any physical interaction.

or any emotional exchange.

This damn thing..

..ends up destroying a relationship.

No matter how much you connect virtually on messengers and such,

you can never avoid misunderstandings born out of suspicion.

Trust me!

Once doubts creep in between two souls, they rarely get sorted out.

Cz' reconciling with a tight hug or a sweet kiss is out of the question.

So there's not way to bridge the gap.

Cz' you are living f**king ten thousand kilometers away man!

Ten thousand kilometers.

Hence...

F**k long distance relationship!

Focus on yourself.

Think about your future.

Focus on securing your future.

Embrace this for now!

I thought you're like an open book.

Thought I knew you inside out.

Now I've realized that I knew nothing at all.

What's your point?

This is not working out, Farhan.

Though we are in a relationship with each other.

we have two separate lives of our own.

The way you have...

your studies, part-time jobs and all..

I have a business to run.. a family to take care of.

A lot of responsibilities to deal with.

Our relationship has never been...

like the typical 'darling,' 'baby,' 'sweetheart', kind.

I never asked for that either.

But you haven't given me a call

..for two damn weeks.

You didn't answer my calls.

You were totally detached from me.

Thanks to that, I couldn't focus on my work.

I might also have the desire to be unwilling, right?

I wanted you to understand that, that's why I didn't answer your calls.

I see..

You wanted to teach me a lesson, so you straight up ignored my calls.

Very well done, Farhan!

I truly needed that,

and who better than you to deliver such a message, right?

Thank you.

Yeah right!

A lone wolf like me can't have an ego, right?

I know I'm bereft.

Sure I have nothing.

But guess what?

I am a pauper with an ego!

My personal space was,

is, and will always be crucial to me!!

It existed before you, and it will continue afterward. That's it!

Find a quiet spot and talk!

Give me your Facebook login details!

Only a control freak would--

Only an extremely possessive girlfriend would stoop this low!

After all I've got nothing, right?

So, I have to cater to your every little unreasonable demand,

Obey you like a loyal dog, isn't that right?

I want to break up with you.

The issues we're facing..

seem to be escalating into toxicity,

and I believe it's heading in a downward spiral.

Trying to keep the relationship going with so much strain is just too hard.

To preserve our well-being,

it's best for both of us to put an end to it now.

I can't bear it any longer, Farhan.

Instead of prolonging the agony and disrespecting each other,

let's just part ways.

Wow, Sharmin

I came to Australia

to prove myself to your brother,

as I fell in love with you and wanted to make you mine.

I'm giving my all down here for our future.

And now you're saying let's break up???

Well, it must be easy for you to say it out loud.

as you're quite experienced in all that.

I don't have any, do I?

How to handle such situations, I have no idea.

But, you do.

You deal with it.

Farhan, I don't ever want to hear from you!

Don't ever try to contact with me!

From now on, my only focus is on myself.

and my life!

Okay?

Take care.

Goodbye!

Hey Farhan! This is my boyfriend Oliver.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Excuse me, guys.

If I were a son of a rich man

she could never do this with me.

Just because I'm not from a well-off family

people take me for granted, treat me like shit!

Mate, love and all that jazz, they come and go in life.

These are just passing clouds!

Not everyone gets to move abroad.

You did.

So, have a blast, grab a couple of beers.

You'll get over it. You'll be healed.

Don't let it get to you.

Look around, what do you see?

Freedom!

Freedom.

Sir! Something's off with my paycheck.

There's a $500 gap at the $14 per hour rate.

I never agreed to $14; I offered $12 from the get-go.

Are you trying to shortchange me? Please. Pay what I earned!

I'd slap the living hell outta you, You arrogant f**k!

How dare you threatening to touch me? You think I'm scared of you!? Huh?

Wanna slap me? Go on!

Cut it out!

Don't show your face here again! You're warned!

F**k you and your goddamn restaurant!

Bloody cheat!

Easy..

Feeling better?

Sis, get him a glass of water.

Thinking of going back.

but the ticket costs more than $3000.

How could he cheat me out of my rightful pay!

I'm lending you the money.

No big deal. Pay me back when you're here.

Nope.

I'm not going.

Executing this grand project with the trust bestowed upon us,

if we triumph in the 100th-anniversary celebration,

Rest assured, 100 more clients will follow!

What do you think? Guys and girls? -Of course we would!

Hello..

From thorough research, we have concluded that

this tree-planting initiative holds

significant importance within our 'Police Week' program.

PROFESSOR JAHANGIR ALAM OF RUET PASSED AWAY

1 year later..

Farhan?

Farhan?

Did Mili come down here?

No! Why?

Mili has left home!

What do you mean?

It's about that local guy...

Oliver...

We had quite heated arguments about that guy.

Should we inform the police?

Police won't do a thing!

She's not a teenager anymore; she's above 18.

She's a free bird.

However, I know where Oliver lives.

Can you please drive me there, son?

Okay! Give me a minute. I'm coming!

That's her. Over there! That's her!

Pull over!

What are you guys doing here?

Sweetheart, please come home.

No. I won't.

I am a grown woman now. I can go wherever I want.

You can't force her.

You stay out of it.

This is between me and my daughter.

No. He is a part of it.

You steal my daughter. -Dad, nobody stole me!

I'm nineteen! I'm not yours!

Give me my daughter back..!

Please, give me my daughter back..!

Please! We are in a public space.

Don't create a scene, for God's sake.

Please, give me my daughter back..!

Please.

It's like freezing out here, isn't it?

I'm not gonna go back.

Let's just give him what he wants.

He's just looking out for you.

Mili is going home.

Don't put pressure on her.

I hope one day, you will accept me.

How long would you keep me caged?

Someday, I'll get away from all of it!

You'd never be able to find me.

If I fail, I would kill myself.

-Congratulations! -Thank you!

-Congratulations! -Thank you. Thank you very much.

You look so pretty!

You did the right thing!

By getting her married to Oliver.

That's very sensible of you!

I couldn't afford to lose a daughter at this age, could I?

True.

You ultimately..

honored her freedom of choice.

That's a lot.

You liked that?

You know, Farhan?

Self dependent..

..is overrated.

They all say,

"Be independent..

Be self-reliant!

You're good on your own," right?

You don't need anyone, huh?

Allah didn't send humans to live like that.

Life doesn't work that way.

If it did,

a child would've sprouted on its own,

no need for nurturing and the like.

It needs both of it's parents.

Then there are grandparents, grandfather, grandmother..

uncles, aunts – the entire clan..

Everyone has a role to play in a child's nurturing.

That's how it works!

We are designed to live in a certain way.

That is ..

becoming co-dependent on each other.

So that we can rely on one another for support and companionship.

We are meant to love one another,

have mutual respect..

and sacrifice when needed.

Build a family.

Forge a society.

After all,

We are social beings, aren't we?

But do they understand that?

They only think about themselves.

like they are better off alone. They don't need anyone.

Civilization progressed by cooperation, not isolation.

People of your generation..

often miss these nuances.

If you had genuinely loved someone,

you would understand.

I apologize for rambling a bit.

As I..

see you as a my own son..

I shared my thoughts.

Uncle! It's time!

They're asking for me.

See you around.

Why is this sudden urge to see the homeland?

Just curious about the folks, nothing much!

Cool!

It's time. See you, bro.

The attendance will be around 50.

Each person should be provided with a water bottle.

Arrangements for tea and coffee should also be ensured.

[indistinct chatter]

A man has come to meet you.

Who?

He looks familiar. I might have seen him on your Facebook profile.

Who is this?

No idea, ma'am! He's got his car.

Can also be a client, who knows?

Ok. Let's see. You guys carry on.

So you're back wearing high heels once more?

Hmm

How long are you staying in town?

No idea.

Farhan, I am actually in the middle of something.

I have to go back and work.

We've got a big police event next week.

There's a lot at stakes.

Whatever you've come here to tell me

Can you please, tell me and get it over with?

I am sorry.

I should never have asked for your Facebook password.

After all, everyone deserves a personal space.

We both have moved on, haven't we?

There's no chance of reconciliation or reunion now.

Not from my end, at least!

If there's anything else you want to talk about..

..go ahead.

How much time do we have?

Not much. 10 minutes?

Let's make it 15.

Hmm

Well?

What else is there to say when you've closed your end.

Let me just look at you for these last few minutes.

You mean..

I have 15 minutes, right?

Let me savor these final moments with your gaze.

Okay..

Whatever!

Sometimes in life We just need a hug...
