1
00:00:09,779 --> 00:00:13,660
Sometimes I wonder what the consequences of smoking cigarettes or bidis could be. Because of this,

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,949
could I have a stroke that would make me a burden on my family?

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:17,559
Will it

4
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:19,469
cause lung cancer for me?

5
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:23,199
Could it push me towards oral cancer, heart disease, or emphysema?

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,100
So whenever you think of smoking a cigarette or bidi, ask yourself

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,940
what the consequences of smoking this cigarette or bidi could be. Quit tobacco products today.

8
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:34,700
Call for help at 1-800-112-356

9
00:00:34,899 --> 00:00:38,049
or give a missed call at 011-229-01701.

10
00:00:38,049 --> 00:00:40,539
A.

11
00:00:41,659 --> 00:00:45,259
I never thought my life would change like this.

12
00:00:45,299 --> 00:00:48,979
Everything was so good. A good husband, two sweet

13
00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:52,899
children. But tobacco changed everything. Now

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,700
I have to get this spreading cancer cut out of my face.

15
00:00:56,780 --> 00:01:00,640
Nothing will be the same as before. Tobacco has ruined my life.

16
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:01,659
ruined my life.

17
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:05,659
Khaini, gutkha, tobacco, zarda, paan masala destroy your life.

00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:07,859
destroy your life.

19
00:01:07,939 --> 00:01:11,819
Smoking is harmful to health. It causes cancer.

20
00:01:11,859 --> 00:01:13,500
causes cancer.

21
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,299
Smoking is injurious to health. It

22
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:20,799
causes cancer.

23
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:45,539
Look

24
00:03:46,099 --> 00:03:47,689
whatever people mean by "actor"...

25
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:52,349
I am somewhat like that. But I am not a star, not at all. My

26
00:03:52,419 --> 00:03:56,020
name is Karak Samanta. I am a theater worker. A student of Debesh Chattopadhyay.

27
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,740
I live in Behala Sarsuna. I've done a few films, but that's about it. And my appearance is quite

28
00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:03,699
ordinary, as you can see. But there's a slight resemblance

29
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:07,580
to young Mrinal Sen. And that's exactly what Srijit-da, I mean our

30
00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:12,240
director Srijit Mukherji, found useful. He's making a film called Padatik.

31
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,019
he's making a film called Padatik. I mean, Mrinal Sen's biopic, that

32
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:19,939
one. So anyway,

33
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,459
he said right at the start that

34
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,040
specifically at one age I will play Mrinal-babu. The other ages

35
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:29,980
will be played by another actor. This

36
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,399
Okay Srijit-da, alright.

37
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,420

Hey Babu

43
00:04:47,019 --> 00:04:47,199
Hey

44
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:49,459
Want to go for a walk?

45
00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:52,120
Get up, get up, get up.

Geeta.

47
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,019
Geeta.

48
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,379
Give me some tea.

49
00:05:16,779 --> 00:05:19,019
Hey, what happened? Do you want to go to the bathroom?

50
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,720
Yes.

51
00:05:21,740 --> 00:05:23,500
Come.

52
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,658
Where is your sister-in-law?

53
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,199
Is she here

54
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,519
or has she gone out?

55
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,379
She's here, she's here.

56
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:30,980
Where is she?

57
00:05:32,579 --> 00:05:33,420
In the kitchen.

58
00:05:35,019 --> 00:05:35,839
Tell her to give tea.

59
00:05:35,939 --> 00:05:37,639
I'm telling you, you come.

Good morning.

63
00:08:15,569 --> 00:08:18,829
Okay, but Nilanjan will come to meet you a little later.

64
00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:20,170
Who?

00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:26,089
Nilanjan.

Nilanjan Dutta. Your actor. Your assistant.

67
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:31,750
Oh yes

68
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:33,750
right

69
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:35,929
Nilanjan.

70
00:08:36,269 --> 00:08:36,549
yeah

71
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:39,649
He will come. Won't you be here?

72
00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:44,250
I will be. But I have to go out for a bit now. I have some bank work. But I'll be

73
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:44,629
back.

74
00:08:45,970 --> 00:08:48,889
Meanwhile if Nilanjan comes you will be okay right?

75
00:08:49,009 --> 00:08:49,350
Yes

76
00:08:50,629 --> 00:08:54,509
Alright. Mita is here, right?

77
00:08:54,549 --> 00:08:58,370
Yes, but before these ages come, we will start with Mrinal

Babu's childhood and youth spent in Faridpur. His school

As I was saying

87
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:29,529
In that way.

88
00:09:33,049 --> 00:09:35,389
See, they were there that day.

89
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:50,269
Father, I'm telling the truth. I'm really telling the truth.

90
00:09:51,450 --> 00:09:54,750
Sometimes complaints, sometimes protests,
sometimes baton charges, sometimes lock-ups

91
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:59,909
This has been going on for years. I can't take it anymore

92
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:02,730
No. What have you started, Mrinal?

93
00:10:04,009 --> 00:10:06,210
Father, you also mean

94
00:10:07,309 --> 00:10:10,450
For the work of the country. I mean, they punished you.

95
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:14,289
Shut up, before doing work for the country, I completed my law degree

96
00:10:14,330 --> 00:10:18,269
so that I can do the work properly. What are you doing?

97
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:22,870
Just singing patriotic songs and throwing bombs is not working for the country

98
00:10:22,889 --> 00:10:23,590
No.

99
00:10:25,049 --> 00:10:28,269
If you really want to do something, study,
become educated

100
00:10:28,308 --> 00:10:31,629
Then come to fight with equals.

101
00:10:32,889 --> 00:10:36,690
There's no benefit in staying in Faridpur anymore. You

102
00:10:36,730 --> 00:10:40,450
will go to Kolkata. Get admitted to a good college there.

169

and sent me. But he didn't just call me,

170
00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:32,450
he called many others too. Someone gave a printed paper

171
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:34,730
to sign. Bond.

172
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:40,929
They might strike. But I'm telling you

173
00:14:40,950 --> 00:14:42,870

00:15:28,450 --> 00:15:30,090
Whisper in the ear, let the soul

186
00:15:32,350 --> 00:15:35,669
soul hear the welfare

187
00:15:35,789 --> 00:15:38,330
of India.

188
00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:40,250
Ends

189
00:15:50,370 --> 00:16:04,429
Time ends, play ends.

190
00:16:04,529 --> 00:16:08,399
Evening comes

191
00:16:08,549 --> 00:16:10,610
in.

192
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:12,549
Then cries the distressed

193
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:17,029
mind, trembles the body

194
00:16:17,409 --> 00:16:20,929
comes.

195
00:16:21,029 --> 00:16:22,009
Then cries the distressed

196
00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:27,330
mind, trembles the body

197
00:16:27,730 --> 00:16:31,230
comes. Cries

198
00:16:31,289 --> 00:16:34,970
then the distressed

199
00:16:35,090 --> 00:16:37,669
mind, trembles the body

200
00:16:38,049 --> 00:16:41,629
comes.

201
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:42,490
What will be the fate

202
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:46,710
of the world? Where is peace

203
00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:50,850
to be found?

204
00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:54,730
Give hope to you

205
00:16:54,909 --> 00:16:58,230
fulfill. You come

206
00:16:58,309 --> 00:17:01,730
near.

207
00:17:02,269 --> 00:17:03,230
Give hope to you

208
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:08,450
fulfill. You come

209
00:17:08,589 --> 00:17:12,369
near.

210
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:13,470
Give hope to you

211
00:17:15,509 --> 00:17:18,789
fulfill. You come

212
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:22,509
near.

213
00:17:22,930 --> 00:17:35,089
There was only one

214
00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:53,329
question for Srijit-da. While studying I learned

215
00:17:53,349 --> 00:17:56,779
Mrinal-babu didn't like nostalgia at all. I learned an incident.

216
00:17:57,470 --> 00:18:01,450
This is about twenty years ago. He was shifting house.

217
00:18:01,470 --> 00:18:05,349
All his belongings, papers,

218
00:18:05,369 --> 00:18:08,849
writings, letters, old draft scripts, he called a corporation

219
00:18:09,170 --> 00:18:12,890
vehicle and

220
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:14,059
threw them away. Just with him were medals, awards

221
00:18:14,993 --> 00:18:18,513
certificates. He threw all these away. So while telling the story of such a person, won't it become a nostalgia

222
00:18:18,814 --> 00:18:22,773
chatter?

223
00:18:22,814 --> 00:18:25,913
Hearing that, Srijit-da said an interesting thing, A good story is a good story is a

224
00:18:26,854 --> 00:18:30,673
good story.

225
00:18:30,733 --> 00:18:31,153
grape vines quivered their veiled white
clusters

226
00:18:31,534 --> 00:18:35,433
wore frost on sweet fingers and the black

227
00:18:35,874 --> 00:18:39,733
grapes filled their small top others

228
00:18:39,854 --> 00:18:42,153
Yes, damn it, let them understand something

229
00:18:42,173 --> 00:18:43,394
What damn it, let them understand Neruda

230
00:18:43,534 --> 00:18:45,413
Nonsense is nonsense. Even Chaplin didn't get spared for the golden
state maker

231
00:18:46,034 --> 00:18:49,794
Coca Cola was banned from the party. And now

232
00:18:49,834 --> 00:18:53,614
Pablo Hero drinks Coca Cola in gulps. This is a
betrayer.

233
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:56,094
Hey Siraj, what can be done?
When it has happened, what can we

234
00:18:56,134 --> 00:19:00,054
do?

235
00:19:00,374 --> 00:19:00,693
Brother, drinking tea has made my throat like a peon's.
A little Coca Cola would

236
00:19:00,733 --> 00:19:03,973
focus on serious matters, I focus, you too damn Mir Jafar.

237
00:19:04,013 --> 00:19:06,814
Hey Mir Jafar

238
00:19:06,834 --> 00:19:07,653
say Jagat Seth. Only he works.

239
00:19:07,673 --> 00:19:10,394
Coca Cola has to be served. Damn it, you drown the party's name.

240
00:19:11,374 --> 00:19:15,253
Coca Cola has to be served. Damn it, you drown the party's name.

241
00:19:15,314 --> 00:19:18,144
I see. Give me Coca Cola. One day I'll kick them all out.

242
00:19:18,144 --> 00:19:21,634
One minute. But I'm not a member. It's hard to kick me out.

243
00:19:21,693 --> 00:19:23,354
Hey, it doesn't take a familiar face.

244
00:19:23,794 --> 00:19:24,903
How is Pamun? He's done for.

245
00:19:25,134 --> 00:19:25,804
What are you saying while talking?

246
00:19:26,074 --> 00:19:30,044
But seriously, Mrinal has been wanting you to join for a long time.

247
00:19:30,074 --> 00:19:31,493
I'm being serious. You're joking.

248
00:19:31,534 --> 00:19:33,713
Forget it. I'm fine as I am.

249
00:19:33,794 --> 00:19:36,064
This means private Marxist.

250
00:19:36,064 --> 00:19:37,953
Private Marxist.

251
00:19:38,134 --> 00:19:41,834
It's already a situation without being a member. I mean here.

252
00:19:41,894 --> 00:19:43,374
If you read Sartre, you'll be shocked.

253
00:19:43,394 --> 00:19:44,193
Yes, he's back.

254
00:19:44,253 --> 00:19:47,953
From Rabindranath to the Buddhas, everyone is worshipped. And this Nitish.

255
00:19:48,013 --> 00:19:48,673
Is Stenil.

256
00:19:48,913 --> 00:19:52,673
Alright. Alright. Stop, stop. Listen to this. I found a producer.

257
00:19:52,693 --> 00:19:54,854
Will you make a film?

258
00:19:55,374 --> 00:19:56,913
What is this? Let me clean it up a bit.

259
00:19:56,933 --> 00:19:59,183
I'm saying, I'm saying I found a producer.

260
00:19:59,233 --> 00:20:01,884
But there is a condition.

261
00:20:01,933 --> 00:20:02,273
Condition.

262
00:20:02,294 --> 00:20:04,733
What condition?
It has to be about the Bhawal Sannyasi.

263
00:20:05,294 --> 00:20:07,384
Bhawal Sannyasi. I was thinking.

264
00:20:07,513 --> 00:20:09,493
What are you saying? What does that mean?

265
00:20:09,854 --> 00:20:12,564
This is market sense. This is market sense.

266
00:20:12,564 --> 00:20:13,973
This Gaur Thandik.

267
00:20:17,413 --> 00:20:24,334
Thief.

268
00:20:36,993 --> 00:20:47,864
Thandik.

269
00:20:49,134 --> 00:20:59,453
Thief.

270
00:21:14,594 --> 00:21:18,354
Hey Tapan, I'm saying they are saying they will do shadow theatre.

271
00:21:18,574 --> 00:21:21,814
So what will you use for the light?
You won't get electricity in the village.

272
00:21:21,854 --> 00:21:23,913
No.

273
00:21:23,973 --> 00:21:25,653
You know it needs a proper source?

274
00:21:26,534 --> 00:21:28,044
You can't do this with fire.

275
00:21:28,114 --> 00:21:30,894
No, it won't shake.

276
00:21:31,294 --> 00:21:34,784
Okay, listen, I'm saying if we use the diamond of the bicycle.

277
00:21:35,114 --> 00:21:38,973
I mean, let's say we line up many bicycles one after another.
They will be operated together. All.

278
00:21:39,013 --> 00:21:42,973
From one source to another, if it can be projected on the screen.

279
00:21:42,993 --> 00:21:46,753
Hmm, it won't work? Don't say it's bad.

280
00:21:47,673 --> 00:21:49,834
Wait, then this needs to be designed a bit better.

281
00:21:49,854 --> 00:21:52,854
Hey, if you think, you'll figure it out in two minutes.

282
00:21:53,993 --> 00:21:55,513
Today I come, Neel Ranga.

283
00:21:55,594 --> 00:21:58,314
You will come. Come.

284
00:21:58,354 --> 00:21:59,074
Take care.

285
00:21:59,134 --> 00:22:02,773
Konal has left. Still.

286
00:22:02,874 --> 00:22:04,973
Hasn't returned. Geeta.

287
00:22:06,114 --> 00:22:06,544
Geeta.

288
00:22:08,394 --> 00:22:09,874
Neelanjan is going.

289
00:22:10,713 --> 00:22:11,574
Geeta.

290
00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:13,263
Yes, tell me. How are you?

291
00:22:13,614 --> 00:22:14,834
Hey, what's the news?

292
00:22:16,094 --> 00:22:18,773
Hey, he sent that film. After that, there's no news.

293
00:22:18,854 --> 00:22:22,634
No, I mean I mostly do plays. I'm saying, listen.

294
00:22:22,733 --> 00:22:26,493
I'm having a few problems with the drama group over there. Can you help a bit?

295
00:22:26,513 --> 00:22:27,233
Can you?

296
00:22:27,273 --> 00:22:28,334
Yes, tell me.

297
00:22:28,374 --> 00:22:32,183
No, I mean I need to go there a bit. If we can meet.

298
00:22:32,493 --> 00:22:36,453
Okay, wait. Tapan, I'm saying there's a problem in their group. I'll check it out. You look over here. They are leaving.

299
00:22:36,473 --> 00:22:40,003
You will go. Thank you.

300
00:22:40,034 --> 00:22:41,834
Okay, I haven't done anything after two streams. You suddenly.

301
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:47,114
Bias is very loose this way.

302
00:22:47,153 --> 00:22:49,933
Actually, I don't want to remember that chapter of Tollygunge. Sound.

303
00:22:50,013 --> 00:22:53,713
The work of the department, then assisting, and ultimately being a rotten.

304
00:22:53,794 --> 00:22:57,493
Footnote of a melodrama.

305
00:22:57,513 --> 00:23:01,013
That means it's not a cinema hall but a theatre circle.

306
00:23:01,094 --> 00:23:03,693
Why not?
Actually, you know, I believe this.

307
00:23:05,134 --> 00:23:08,713
This medium is not it. The message is more important.
You understand. And.

308
00:23:09,894 --> 00:23:13,653
The language of Bengali films will change one day. And as long as it doesn't change.

309
00:23:13,693 --> 00:23:17,394
This Gananatya Sangha's field theatre.

310
00:23:17,433 --> 00:23:19,993
Long live.

311
00:23:20,013 --> 00:23:21,453
That.

312
00:23:21,534 --> 00:23:22,973
Okay, friends, friends.

313
00:23:58,933 --> 00:23:59,874
I have an important announcement to make.

314
00:24:01,114 --> 00:24:03,794
I have to go to Bombay.

315
00:24:06,134 --> 00:24:08,334
The situation of work here is very bad.

316
00:24:09,733 --> 00:24:11,753
Then at home too.

317
00:24:12,773 --> 00:24:15,094
We understand. In fact, I'm also not able to work from two places.

318
00:24:16,114 --> 00:24:20,013
It's not happening.

319
00:24:21,433 --> 00:24:21,903
I'm also thinking.

320
00:24:24,170 --> 00:24:26,210
I'm also thinking.

321
00:24:27,509 --> 00:24:28,470
What's your plan, Siraj?

322
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:33,230
You all left, you scoundrel. What about me?

323
00:24:34,210 --> 00:24:38,190
Let's see if something can be done here. Okay, tell me one thing,

324
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:42,069
heads are hanging from the tree. Didn't these visuals attract you?

325
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:44,849
[Laughs] Did I overdo it a bit?

326
00:24:45,230 --> 00:24:46,150
Yes, I mean.

327
00:24:48,190 --> 00:24:50,630
Alright, change all that.

328
00:24:51,509 --> 00:24:52,329
What will you do, Mrinal?

329
00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:58,089
Read many film books. Did film society.

330
00:24:58,130 --> 00:25:00,089
Did it.

331
00:25:01,549 --> 00:25:03,509
That doesn't fill the stomach, brother.

332
00:25:04,450 --> 00:25:07,130
The state of the household is such.

333
00:25:08,829 --> 00:25:12,809
So I'm thinking there's a job offer, I'll take it. What

334
00:25:12,829 --> 00:25:13,150
job?

335
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:16,329
Medical representative, I mean

336
00:25:17,670 --> 00:25:20,730
You're leaving everything to do a medical representative job now?

337
00:25:22,089 --> 00:25:22,730
What choice do I have?

338
00:25:24,509 --> 00:25:27,109
Neither religion nor cinema works on an empty stomach,

339
00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:29,869
comrades.

340
00:25:30,569 --> 00:25:32,019
[Sighs] Alright, I'm leaving.

341
00:25:35,849 --> 00:25:39,470
Brother. Saved, saved. I'll get down, I'll get down.

342
00:25:49,509 --> 00:25:53,410
In everyone's life, there comes a time called a watershed.

343
00:25:53,470 --> 00:25:55,200
I mean, from then on, everything changes.

344
00:25:57,069 --> 00:25:59,809
That time was imminent in his life too.

345
00:26:01,069 --> 00:26:03,349
But this narrative of change

346
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:06,829
doesn't happen just by blaming time.

347
00:26:08,289 --> 00:26:11,329
The time changed because he changed.

348
00:26:12,170 --> 00:26:15,769
And that's not just metaphorically, you know.

349
00:26:15,809 --> 00:26:16,190
I mean,

350
00:26:17,470 --> 00:26:19,609
for the sake of this conversation,

351
00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:22,660
physically too. [Laughs]

352
00:26:24,369 --> 00:26:25,210
Got a bit confused, didn't you?

353
00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:29,809
Alright. Let the time come, you'll understand.

354
00:26:29,829 --> 00:28:05,989
You'll know.

355
00:28:30,390 --> 00:29:08,910
[Sound of a train running in the background]

356
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:16,789
Babu, money, money

357
00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:20,269
money. Money, money

358
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:20,930
money.

359
00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:24,470
Money, money, money.

360
00:29:26,710 --> 00:30:24,160
[Sound of a train whistle in the background]

361
00:31:58,319 --> 00:31:58,819
What

362
00:32:00,099 --> 00:32:01,019
Mrinal Sen?

363
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:13,470
[Laughs]

364
00:32:15,339 --> 00:32:16,980
What is your condition?

365
00:32:19,420 --> 00:32:22,039
One second, one second.

366
00:32:22,859 --> 00:32:26,680
Didn't you want to make films? And in the end,

367
00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:27,740
today this!

368
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:35,779
[Crying] What was the use of doing so much?

369
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,519
Nothing.

370
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:49,819
I will make films.

371
00:32:51,779 --> 00:32:54,700
I will write about films.

372
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,380
[Screech]

373
00:33:01,779 --> 00:33:05,180
You lazy bum. This medicine seller.

374
00:33:05,539 --> 00:33:08,980
This, this, this medicine seller. Medicine seller.

375
00:33:08,989 --> 00:33:12,440
[Coughs]

376
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,299
Do that. That will be good for you.

377
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,059
It will suit you.

378
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:22,980
Go around shops with medicines. Get kicked by doctors.

379
00:33:23,059 --> 00:33:25,720
Please the boss.

380
00:33:25,759 --> 00:33:29,059
Your salary will increase.

381
00:33:30,819 --> 00:33:32,000
The future will be bright.

382
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,859
It will be.

383
00:33:35,929 --> 00:33:38,180
[Laughs] Films!

384
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:43,180
Those films and all won't happen with you, Mr. Sen.

385
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:49,160
Sir.

386
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:55,049
[Crying]

387
00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:38,460
Can I do it?

388
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:42,659
Such a difficult character. Mrinal Sen. It's not a small

389
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,500
thing. Then the Bengali accent of Kolkata.

390
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:48,980
On top of that, English, Hindi, I don't know these very well.

391
00:34:50,179 --> 00:34:53,639
I was discussing all this with Mr. Sridhar. He said to trust

392
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,960
him. I said, I have hundred percent trust in you.

393
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:01,380
But I have no trust in myself. Again,

394
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:05,400
twice I almost worked with him. I also wanted to do a big project

395
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,760
with Sridhar. Anyway,

396
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,739
finally, I agreed. Then we decided when the shooting would start.

397
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:14,519
In the meantime, my father passed away.

398
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:16,599
Anyway,

399
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:21,300
before I could get over my father's grief, we started working. Mrinal Sen

400
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:25,139
means love. Love with cinema. Love with Kolkata. Love.

401
00:35:25,260 --> 00:35:28,280
What? A full-fledged marriage. And all other relationships.

402
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,978
Adultery.

403
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:48,099
What happened?

404
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:51,699
Oh, it's scheduled like a madman. The Fall of Berlin will start in
seven hours. Amazing.

405
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,380
What a matter!
So, will Jude Fete not be missed?

406
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,019
Now we have to run to the Lighthouse. De Sica's
Miracle in Milan.

407
00:35:56,059 --> 00:35:57,019
Are you going to see all of them?

408
00:35:57,460 --> 00:36:00,179
What are you saying? Not going to watch?
I will watch all of them. A film of this scale.

409
00:36:00,219 --> 00:36:01,300
festival. And

410
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,500
Who knows when these films will be shown at the Calcutta film club?

411
00:36:03,559 --> 00:36:04,280
How did it feel?

412
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:07,639
What is Open City Rome?
I liked it. There is a distinct quality to Rossellini's work.

413
00:36:07,659 --> 00:36:08,760
There is mood. And Neo

414
00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:12,619
If you consider realism,
the style is a bit different from that of De Sica.

415
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:14,500
Who knows when the movies will be released in our country?

416
00:36:14,659 --> 00:36:17,980
It's good that you came back. Maybe a little
pain.

417
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,420
It will be. But what I really wanted to do from the heart is not happening.

418
00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:22,440
You can.

419
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,739
Where else can I do that?

420
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,500
I am still looking for a producer.

421
00:36:27,539 --> 00:36:30,800
You will get it right. You will make a movie one day.

422
00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:34,739
Look. And when you do that

423
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,769
It will be a different picture.

424
00:36:37,003 --> 00:36:40,744
It will speak of the people,
it will speak of their struggles. His

425
00:36:40,784 --> 00:36:44,264
It will tell the story of being alive or not. And the whole
world

426
00:36:44,324 --> 00:36:45,614
You will listen.

427
00:36:45,724 --> 00:36:46,963
So much trust.

428
00:36:47,623 --> 00:36:48,344
What else could it be?

429
00:36:50,943 --> 00:36:51,833
Don't listen to this.

430
00:36:53,164 --> 00:36:55,804
I brought a book for you.

431
00:36:58,753 --> 00:36:59,244
Thank you.

432
00:37:01,463 --> 00:37:04,463
Then the private Marxist is not really private
anymore.

433
00:37:05,324 --> 00:37:08,403
No, no,
not that. I have shared everything with you.

434
00:37:08,423 --> 00:37:09,242
let's share.

435
00:37:09,284 --> 00:37:13,143
Oh, this reminds me of a few days ago

436
00:37:13,244 --> 00:37:17,083
Earlier you were saying that you have something important
to talk about. I said.

437
00:37:17,123 --> 00:37:20,804
Say it. You said,
no, that it was by the Ganges at sunset.

438
00:37:20,844 --> 00:37:21,083
to say

439
00:37:21,123 --> 00:37:24,804
It will be. Now it's sunset. We are standing by the Ganges
now.

440
00:37:24,844 --> 00:37:27,804
Say.

441
00:37:59,063 --> 00:38:10,664
[persec banter]

442
00:38:45,603 --> 00:38:46,264
Rice and lentils?

443
00:38:49,844 --> 00:38:52,384
No.

444
00:38:58,643 --> 00:39:02,523
I didn't get a job, I didn't get a producer,
I didn't get rice and lentils.

445
00:39:02,532 --> 00:39:03,244
I just got

446
00:39:04,284 --> 00:39:05,884
Puffed rice and barley flour.

447
00:39:07,943 --> 00:39:11,623
Private tuitions are also decreasing one by one.

448
00:39:11,684 --> 00:39:15,563
Oh, nothing will happen. Something will happen.
I will too.

449
00:39:15,583 --> 00:39:18,903
I am looking for a job. That movie will turn into a play
Nothing will happen.

450
00:39:18,923 --> 00:39:19,844
Nothing.

451
00:39:19,923 --> 00:39:20,963
Do you sometimes feel like you know?

452
00:39:22,503 --> 00:39:26,264
Let's end everything. Sleeping pills or

453
00:39:26,304 --> 00:39:29,704
Let's sit down with the fruit basket. Let's sing a little louder

454
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:32,884
I do. Then take a sip and pull the end skull.

455
00:39:32,963 --> 00:39:34,643
Give it.

456
00:39:34,684 --> 00:39:35,264
Emma!

457
00:39:36,583 --> 00:39:39,023
I will marry and stay together for a lifetime. Finally
in the end.

458
00:39:39,123 --> 00:39:41,523
This.

459
00:39:41,643 --> 00:39:45,324
If I had known I would have to survive on half a meal
I would have really gotten married.

460
00:39:45,364 --> 00:39:47,043
No.

461
00:39:47,143 --> 00:39:47,384
Oh

462
00:39:48,503 --> 00:39:51,744
Just floating the case for communism
with a kiss

463
00:39:51,824 --> 00:39:53,684
To eat. Then shake hands.

464
00:39:53,744 --> 00:39:56,804
Leg.

465
00:40:00,324 --> 00:40:01,304
Not you.

466
00:40:01,344 --> 00:40:04,483
It's done. You wash your hands. I will bring puffed rice and roasted gram

467
00:40:04,543 --> 00:40:08,603
I'm coming.

468
00:40:11,083 --> 00:40:12,123
Don't listen to this.

469
00:40:12,164 --> 00:40:12,943
Yes.

470
00:40:13,003 --> 00:40:15,784
Add a little sugar, salt, and chili to the flour.

471
00:40:15,804 --> 00:40:19,003
Yes, Deb. Mrinal-babu,
I have written a lot about your film.

472
00:40:19,043 --> 00:40:22,483
I have read. The film festival also makes you do a lot of small
small things.

473
00:40:22,523 --> 00:40:23,503
I have seen.

474
00:40:24,684 --> 00:40:26,784
I want you to make a picture for me.

475
00:40:28,264 --> 00:40:29,864
Have you started the production?

476
00:40:30,543 --> 00:40:33,793
I will start this. A good story can be gathered
by talking all night.

477
00:40:33,864 --> 00:40:34,684
I have done it.

478
00:40:34,744 --> 00:40:36,324
Can I cast according to my own wishes?

479
00:40:36,934 --> 00:40:37,983
If the name is a bit bigger

480
00:40:39,264 --> 00:40:43,123
I get two coins in my house. But the treatment you
want

481
00:40:43,164 --> 00:40:44,684
Like that.

482
00:40:45,603 --> 00:40:49,284
Since you've come this far,
you must have spoken to many people.

483
00:40:49,344 --> 00:40:53,204
Yes, I mean Arun Kumar, Sachin Biswas,
Sati Chatterjee,

484
00:40:53,704 --> 00:40:54,344
Alochhaya Devi.

485
00:40:56,123 --> 00:40:59,983
Alright, okay. Let me think a bit.

486
00:41:03,503 --> 00:41:05,244
Haven't eaten anything for two days.

487
00:41:06,503 --> 00:41:06,943
Will do something

488
00:41:07,003 --> 00:41:11,804
about it.

489
00:41:16,224 --> 00:41:19,713
Hmm. Let's see if I can borrow a little

490
00:41:19,804 --> 00:41:22,463
to buy some rice

491
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,244
or not.

492
00:41:24,284 --> 00:41:27,204
Yes, so go. I'll rather put the water on

493
00:41:27,264 --> 00:41:29,943
the stove. It will take time

494
00:41:29,983 --> 00:41:32,123
to light it.

495
00:41:32,844 --> 00:41:35,304
Mrinal. Mrinal.

496
00:41:37,143 --> 00:41:38,123
Is Mrinal at home?

497
00:41:38,423 --> 00:41:40,724
No, Nipati Da. He went to buy some rice and lentils.

498
00:41:40,784 --> 00:41:44,523
To buy rice and lentils. Nonsense. He was chatting with us in the neighborhood.

499
00:41:45,324 --> 00:41:49,264
I thought he might have come back. Anyway, tell him

500
00:41:49,344 --> 00:41:52,403
I came by.

501
00:42:08,123 --> 00:42:11,543
Tried a lot. No one lent

502
00:42:11,643 --> 00:42:12,503
anything.

503
00:42:14,483 --> 00:42:15,844
Not a penny in the pocket to buy

504
00:42:17,384 --> 00:42:19,423
rice or lentils.

505
00:42:20,664 --> 00:42:22,923
You went out to borrow.

506
00:42:22,963 --> 00:42:23,963
Yes.

507
00:42:25,023 --> 00:42:25,963
To buy rice and lentils.

508
00:42:26,673 --> 00:42:27,764
Yes.

509
00:42:30,164 --> 00:42:31,284
Nipati Da came.

510
00:42:34,704 --> 00:42:35,083
Oh dear!

511
00:42:46,713 --> 00:42:49,873
No, I mean I really went. I mean suddenly
met them on the road. Talked about

512
00:42:49,914 --> 00:42:52,253
Pather Padabali. Then with a producer
Lakshiri

513
00:42:52,313 --> 00:42:54,773
Listen.

514
00:43:00,954 --> 00:43:04,833
Listen, listen to me. Please really give me
a little time please. I am

515
00:43:04,853 --> 00:43:08,733
arranging something. Listen to me. Sorry

516
00:43:08,833 --> 00:43:12,414
sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.

517
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:19,503
[Sound of a child crying]

518
00:43:20,193 --> 00:43:21,474
Raatvor shot twenty three take one

519
00:43:22,753 --> 00:43:23,094
action

520
00:43:23,634 --> 00:43:34,474
trolley.

521
00:43:35,153 --> 00:43:38,753
Hiren Babu Hiren Babu I beg you
not to go

522
00:43:38,813 --> 00:43:39,653
no.

523
00:43:41,034 --> 00:43:42,534
Cut you know Geeta

524
00:43:43,713 --> 00:43:47,634
I think Pather Padabali will change
everything. I mean the kind of

525
00:43:47,673 --> 00:43:51,534
films I believe in, finally I will be able to make that.

526
00:43:51,572 --> 00:43:54,193
Why not that film Raatvor?

527
00:43:54,273 --> 00:43:55,153
Don't know. You know

528
00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:58,173
[Sound of breathing] If the film isn't finished

529
00:43:59,333 --> 00:44:02,653
if the first print doesn't come out, I can't understand anything.
The shooting is still

530
00:44:02,693 --> 00:44:03,474
going on.

531
00:44:06,353 --> 00:44:10,293
Creating objective distance is actually very
difficult. But I am trying in my own way

532
00:44:10,333 --> 00:44:12,103
to do it. Like

533
00:44:13,273 --> 00:44:17,184
trying to give a negative shade to the
character of the hero, I mean Hiren.

534
00:44:17,253 --> 00:44:20,414
There is, of course, a disagreement with Arun
Babu about this.

535
00:44:20,853 --> 00:44:22,554
There is, of course, a disagreement with Arun
Babu about this.

536
00:44:22,673 --> 00:44:26,153
Look, be careful with these stars.

537
00:44:26,373 --> 00:44:29,704
No, no, that's alright. Okay

538
00:44:30,574 --> 00:44:33,873
The money issue is also somewhat getting solved
while doing this work, isn't it?

539
00:44:35,954 --> 00:44:39,903
But the financial pressure is going to increase.

540
00:44:39,954 --> 00:44:42,934
Why? Is any relative coming home?

541
00:44:45,373 --> 00:44:47,514
Hmm.

542
00:44:49,994 --> 00:44:51,353
A very close relative.

543
00:44:51,454 --> 00:44:52,074
What are you saying?

544
00:44:53,893 --> 00:44:54,293
Really

545
00:44:55,273 --> 00:44:56,054
Yes.

546
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:05,173
[Sound of laughter] Oh dear

547
00:45:07,034 --> 00:45:10,193
Will have to go out looking for a producer again. This film
will be finished

548
00:45:10,253 --> 00:45:11,693
soon. Okay

549
00:45:12,733 --> 00:45:14,114
Should I look for a job?

550
00:45:14,213 --> 00:45:14,713
Don't you dare!

551
00:45:15,514 --> 00:45:17,393
That job is not for you.

552
00:45:17,434 --> 00:45:17,974
Let's do one thing

553
00:45:19,313 --> 00:45:22,414
Contact some journal and magazine offices.

554
00:45:22,893 --> 00:45:26,713
Do that. Actually, you know what?

555
00:45:27,134 --> 00:45:30,534
Anup Da is my distant brother. He never made me

556
00:45:30,574 --> 00:45:34,313
feel that way. But still, it feels bad when I see
he takes so much

557
00:45:34,353 --> 00:45:36,853
responsibility.

558
00:45:36,893 --> 00:45:39,693
You are right.

559
00:45:41,554 --> 00:45:43,253
I am sorry Geeta.

560
00:45:44,514 --> 00:45:47,934
Give me a little more time. I will try.

561
00:45:47,994 --> 00:45:50,954
Oh, why are you saying sorry?

562
00:45:52,293 --> 00:45:55,673
We're fighting this battle together.

563
00:45:56,634 --> 00:46:00,414
Shoulder to shoulder. Isn't that right?

564
00:46:01,313 --> 00:46:02,114
comrade.

565
00:46:02,173 --> 00:46:06,034
Well, have you gone mad?
I mean, Mr. Arun, I was just

566
00:46:06,054 --> 00:46:08,224
thinking about something and wrote a scripture.

567
00:46:08,224 --> 00:46:10,094
Hey, who is talking about scripture?

568
00:46:11,653 --> 00:46:15,114
I'm talking about you. Which solo project have you

569
00:46:15,514 --> 00:46:16,594
come to shoot today?

570
00:46:17,693 --> 00:46:18,514
Why? What happened today?

571
00:46:19,213 --> 00:46:19,414
What do you mean?

572
00:46:22,594 --> 00:46:26,574
Hey, your wife is admitted to the hospital.
She's going into delivery.

573
00:46:26,614 --> 00:46:30,423
And you are standing here doing action cuts.
You should go now. Go to her.

574
00:46:30,454 --> 00:46:31,534
Wrap it up and go.

575
00:46:31,693 --> 00:46:33,193
I mean, your debt.

576
00:46:33,273 --> 00:46:36,293
Hey, it's my debt.
I will pay you back.

577
00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:37,143
Don't worry.

578
00:46:37,173 --> 00:46:41,114
You go now. Okay, do one thing.
Take my car and

579
00:46:41,173 --> 00:46:43,414
go. Are you there? Take my car and

580
00:46:43,434 --> 00:46:45,454
come.

581
00:46:46,333 --> 00:46:48,054
Why are you still standing? You

582
00:46:48,114 --> 00:46:55,994
go.

583
00:47:12,554 --> 00:47:13,134
When will it happen?

584
00:47:18,454 --> 00:47:26,903
It has already

585
00:47:26,903 --> 00:47:30,664
happened. They took her for a check-up.

586
00:47:30,713 --> 00:47:33,813
Sorry.

587
00:47:46,373 --> 00:47:51,753
Sorry.

588
00:47:57,634 --> 00:48:00,173
Really.

589
00:48:02,974 --> 00:48:03,353
I mean.

590
00:48:04,994 --> 00:48:06,693
What happened?

591
00:48:10,554 --> 00:48:10,934
I'm telling you.

592
00:48:12,253 --> 00:48:12,893
sorry.

593
00:48:13,673 --> 00:48:17,153
This is your example of standing shoulder to shoulder.

594
00:48:19,393 --> 00:48:21,833
comrade.

595
00:48:21,934 --> 00:48:28,753
[Sound of a baby crying]

596
00:48:34,833 --> 00:48:46,463
Oh traveler of light.

597
00:49:39,003 --> 00:49:40,784
This night. Here,

598
00:49:40,963 --> 00:49:44,264
do not stop. This

599
00:49:44,364 --> 00:49:48,164
is the shore of sand.

600
00:49:48,284 --> 00:49:51,603
Hope your

601
00:49:51,684 --> 00:49:55,403
pain is like

602
00:49:56,264 --> 00:49:58,483
sorrow. I

603
00:49:59,324 --> 00:49:59,744
am weary yet

604
00:50:00,503 --> 00:50:04,264
hold on. I

605
00:50:04,344 --> 00:50:07,344
am empty yet not

606
00:50:07,423 --> 00:50:10,443
calm. Yet

607
00:50:10,503 --> 00:50:13,443
with torn sails,

608
00:50:13,563 --> 00:50:16,264
raise the victory flag.

609
00:50:16,664 --> 00:50:19,344
Sun, give a

610
00:50:19,784 --> 00:50:22,684
blow.

611
00:50:22,784 --> 00:50:25,324
Oh traveler of light.

612
00:50:25,744 --> 00:50:28,423
This is the night.

613
00:50:28,664 --> 00:50:32,514
Do not stop

614
00:50:33,164 --> 00:50:35,744
here.

615
00:50:36,224 --> 00:50:37,784
Ah, breaking the heart,

616
00:50:38,184 --> 00:50:46,664
breaking,

617
00:50:52,503 --> 00:50:55,463
spilling on the path,

618
00:50:55,523 --> 00:50:56,643
the essence.

619
00:50:57,523 --> 00:50:59,724
How many

620
00:51:00,503 --> 00:51:01,744
ages have they held on,

621
00:51:02,083 --> 00:51:05,503
creating the sun.

622
00:51:05,583 --> 00:51:08,844
How far is that

623
00:51:09,764 --> 00:51:13,164
confluence. Oh, that

624
00:51:13,224 --> 00:51:16,123
fog, this is

625
00:51:17,164 --> 00:51:20,903
deception. These

626
00:51:21,043 --> 00:51:24,043
days of deprivation,

627
00:51:24,123 --> 00:51:27,063
once passed, you will find

628
00:51:27,184 --> 00:51:30,103
your address in the sea of people.

629
00:51:30,184 --> 00:51:32,983
Oh traveler of light.

630
00:51:33,364 --> 00:51:36,184
This is the night.

631
00:51:36,583 --> 00:51:40,063
Do not stop

632
00:51:40,543 --> 00:51:43,643
here.

633
00:51:43,684 --> 00:51:47,543
This shore of sand,

634
00:51:47,903 --> 00:51:51,373
hope

635
00:51:51,884 --> 00:51:53,034
is like your

636
00:51:54,023 --> 00:51:57,063
sorrow.

637
00:51:57,224 --> 00:51:58,184
Come, let’s eat.

638
00:51:59,043 --> 00:52:01,224
Come.

639
00:52:02,143 --> 00:52:06,003
Let’s go.

640
00:52:20,403 --> 00:52:22,304
Let’s eat.

641
00:52:24,804 --> 00:52:25,963
There is no hunger.

642
00:52:27,804 --> 00:52:31,643
You will eat a little something. Let's go.

643
00:52:32,443 --> 00:52:32,724
Geeta,

644
00:52:35,103 --> 00:52:36,083
I AM A FAILURE.

645
00:52:36,143 --> 00:52:38,503
Why are you thinking like this?

646
00:52:39,764 --> 00:52:43,523
I made a whole film. I never realized

647
00:52:43,583 --> 00:52:45,543
what I was creating.

648
00:52:46,784 --> 00:52:48,824
Completely clichéd rubbish

649
00:52:50,184 --> 00:52:54,123
outdated treatment. And horrible

650
00:52:54,224 --> 00:52:57,483
screenplay. This is Mrinal Sen's first

651
00:52:57,523 --> 00:52:59,284
film. Ugh!

652
00:52:59,364 --> 00:53:03,123
Okay, okay, fine. Not everything

653
00:53:03,164 --> 00:53:06,684
goes according to plan all the time. Mrinal,
you

654
00:53:07,744 --> 00:53:10,884
will make the next one well. You will put more effort

655
00:53:10,903 --> 00:53:12,463
into it.

656
00:53:13,344 --> 00:53:17,293
You will do exactly what you want to do. You won't compromise.
Then it will be done.

657
00:53:17,344 --> 00:53:18,603
That's it.

658
00:53:19,563 --> 00:53:21,384
No, Geeta.

659
00:53:23,143 --> 00:53:25,103
I will quit filmmaking.

660
00:53:26,744 --> 00:53:29,003
I haven't learned to tell stories. I can't tell stories.

661
00:53:29,043 --> 00:53:32,724
For me, this job as a medical representative

662
00:53:32,784 --> 00:53:34,304
was just right.

663
00:53:35,284 --> 00:53:38,364
Look this way. Look at me. Look.

664
00:53:40,603 --> 00:53:43,804
You can't break down so easily, comrade.

665
00:53:45,304 --> 00:53:49,284
There are still many blows to take. The fight is

666
00:53:49,324 --> 00:53:50,724
still on.

667
00:53:51,943 --> 00:53:55,923
And if there isn't a little bleeding, then what is
art and

668
00:53:56,003 --> 00:53:56,864
what is revolution?

669
00:53:57,744 --> 00:53:58,083
Isn't that so?

670
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:04,273
Call, call, call.

671
00:54:04,324 --> 00:54:07,364
Call, call.

672
00:54:07,983 --> 00:54:11,063
Call, call, call, call.

673
00:54:11,664 --> 00:54:14,824
Call, call, call.

674
00:54:14,943 --> 00:54:18,384
Call, call, call.

675
00:54:26,684 --> 00:54:30,003
Was the flight delayed? Just marginal.

676
00:54:30,943 --> 00:54:31,724
Come here.

677
00:54:33,284 --> 00:54:35,974
So how is your research going?

678
00:54:37,423 --> 00:54:38,023
Good.

679
00:54:39,003 --> 00:54:41,244
I did two papers. So, did you see the great earth?

680
00:54:41,284 --> 00:54:45,123
Hmm. And?

681
00:54:45,284 --> 00:54:47,603
Ah, here it is.

682
00:54:47,643 --> 00:54:51,224
What happened? Just say it. What, Babu? Well,

683
00:54:53,043 --> 00:54:55,414
I didn't really like it.

684
00:54:55,423 --> 00:54:58,893
Why? I don't agree with the worldview
of the

685
00:54:59,023 --> 00:55:02,594
film. Why? What do you mean? I just,
I just don't.

686
00:55:03,748 --> 00:55:06,847
I mean for me the fall of communism
is a historical event.

687
00:55:06,987 --> 00:55:09,248
It doesn't affect me personally.

688
00:55:10,288 --> 00:55:12,367
My moral compass doesn't depend on any

689
00:55:13,688 --> 00:55:14,547
ideology.

690
00:55:16,427 --> 00:55:17,588
And the biggest thing

691
00:55:19,307 --> 00:55:22,668
is that this, that the suicide of a mother’s son so long
after

692
00:55:23,447 --> 00:55:26,907
is not emotionally valid.

693
00:55:27,927 --> 00:55:31,228
I mean you have followed the same
structure in One Day Every Day,

694
00:55:31,588 --> 00:55:35,148
Kharij, One Day Achanak. But the

695
00:55:35,208 --> 00:55:39,148
initial incident has been organic

696
00:55:39,228 --> 00:55:41,547
and, and thought-provoking.

697
00:55:42,887 --> 00:55:46,157
Actually, the trend of your previous work, that incisive—

698
00:55:46,188 --> 00:55:49,478
I think I am becoming dull. Am I
becoming dated?

699
00:55:49,827 --> 00:55:52,168
No, no, no. Absolutely not.
That's not what I'm saying.

700
00:55:52,307 --> 00:55:55,608
I am gaining weight.

701
00:55:55,648 --> 00:55:59,588
No, no. Nothing about being dated. You
are still very relevant.

702
00:55:59,628 --> 00:56:03,608
What I want to say is that the use of the plot
device in this

703
00:56:03,628 --> 00:56:05,168
particular film seems,

704
00:56:06,827 --> 00:56:09,467
seems a little intellectually forced.
That's, that's all.

705
00:56:10,708 --> 00:56:14,547
No way. I think you know what?
I mean you are completely

706
00:56:14,568 --> 00:56:18,527
wrong in your analysis.
It's all wrong. What you

707
00:56:18,547 --> 00:56:19,327
want to say—

708
00:56:19,398 --> 00:56:21,568
Okay,
okay. Can we talk about this later?

709
00:56:22,367 --> 00:56:23,547
[laughs] Okay.

710
00:56:23,648 --> 00:56:24,748
Okay. Wait.

711
00:56:30,507 --> 00:56:31,007
Will you eat?

712
00:56:32,347 --> 00:56:32,608
What?

713
00:56:33,768 --> 00:56:37,387
Paklava. There was a long layover in Istanbul.

714
00:56:39,168 --> 00:56:39,427
Here.

715
00:56:44,467 --> 00:56:46,068
Hey, will you eat sandesh? Here,

716
00:56:46,907 --> 00:56:48,148
eat. This,

717
00:56:49,507 --> 00:56:49,768
this. Ugh!

718
00:56:50,547 --> 00:56:57,668
[sound of eating chips]

719
00:56:57,768 --> 00:57:01,217
[sound of eating sandesh]

720
00:57:05,208 --> 00:57:12,228
[laughs]

721
00:57:14,567 --> 00:57:16,407
Food should not be wasted, right?

722
00:57:40,688 --> 00:57:41,967
How far under the blue sky?

723
00:57:45,568 --> 00:57:49,407
Arun Babu doesn't want to work after the night is over. Of course, Arun

724
00:57:49,427 --> 00:57:50,507
Babu wouldn't want me to either.

725
00:57:52,068 --> 00:57:55,708
I've made a decision, Geeta. From now on, I'll make films as I wish.

726
00:57:55,748 --> 00:57:59,728
Not by compromising in any way. If necessary,

727
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:03,108
I'll pick up the crumbs of sandesh from the ground and eat. But

728
00:58:03,128 --> 00:58:05,847
Geeta, the story I want to tell

729
00:58:06,788 --> 00:58:09,467
I'll tell it that way. Because sleeping peacefully

730
00:58:09,507 --> 00:58:12,248
is much more important than eating to the full.

731
00:58:12,327 --> 00:58:13,898
important.

732
00:58:13,927 --> 00:58:16,588
Don't worry. Both will happen.

733
00:58:16,648 --> 00:58:20,168
Small hopes of small people.

734
00:58:20,288 --> 00:58:23,838
Who keeps track of them?

735
00:58:24,487 --> 00:58:26,547
Have you seen?

736
00:58:28,108 --> 00:58:31,927
And have you heard the cries of people?

737
00:58:33,688 --> 00:58:35,307
In the air,

738
00:58:35,367 --> 00:58:38,288
it resonates. Have you

739
00:58:38,588 --> 00:58:39,927
heard?

740
00:58:42,447 --> 00:58:46,327
Under the blue sky, the earth,

741
00:58:47,288 --> 00:58:50,527
and above the earth, the blue

742
00:58:50,538 --> 00:58:51,967
sky.

743
00:58:52,007 --> 00:58:52,898
Are you Mrinal Sen?

744
00:58:55,068 --> 00:58:56,427
Yes.

745
00:58:56,708 --> 00:58:57,447
The director of the film?

746
00:58:58,648 --> 00:59:00,108
Yes.

747
00:59:00,148 --> 00:59:01,847
So do you live in a rented house in Kolkata?

748
00:59:03,648 --> 00:59:06,007
Um, yes.

749
00:59:06,047 --> 00:59:06,847
How much rent do you pay?

750
00:59:09,427 --> 00:59:10,387
As little as possible. Why?

751
00:59:12,927 --> 00:59:15,507
Just asking. How old are you?

752
00:59:19,228 --> 00:59:20,728
Thirty-six.

753
00:59:20,768 --> 00:59:21,606
Um.

754
00:59:23,847 --> 00:59:27,168
Well, don't you think this film

755
00:59:27,907 --> 00:59:29,288
leans a bit too much to the left?

756
00:59:34,307 --> 00:59:36,467
Look, Sukumar Babu.

757
00:59:38,407 --> 00:59:42,248
This is a film set in a specific historical period.

758
00:59:42,327 --> 00:59:45,648
It's the story of a Chinese hawker's life. A

759
00:59:45,708 --> 00:59:46,668
salesman

760
00:59:47,608 --> 00:59:47,827
who

761
00:59:49,027 --> 00:59:51,668
sells his wares. Roams the streets

762
00:59:51,708 --> 00:59:55,248
and suddenly one day finds himself in the midst of a revolution.

763
00:59:55,288 --> 00:59:58,927
The Congress protest

764
00:59:59,288 --> 01:00:02,047
against the British. Now,

765
01:00:03,728 --> 01:00:05,387
if revolution means

766
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:09,588
leaning to the left, is that my fault?

767
01:00:10,568 --> 01:00:11,407
What can I do, tell me?

768
01:00:12,367 --> 01:00:15,168
You can speak quite eloquently!

769
01:00:15,867 --> 01:00:17,347
Congratulations.

770
01:00:17,867 --> 01:00:18,628
Thank you.

771
01:00:18,668 --> 01:00:20,487
Mrinal-babu, please come once.

772
01:00:20,527 --> 01:00:21,047
I'll come for a bit.

773
01:00:21,068 --> 01:00:23,088
Hmm.

774
01:00:24,307 --> 01:00:26,447
Panditji wants to speak with you once.

775
01:00:26,487 --> 01:00:27,648
Why? What happened? Any problem?

776
01:00:28,228 --> 01:00:32,047
Doesn't seem like it. The film was highly praised. But

777
01:00:32,068 --> 01:00:36,056
the producer is like a burnt cow. Afraid of red clouds. Panditji, Mrinal-

778
01:00:36,387 --> 01:00:39,427
Mrinal, we were just admiring your film, weren't we?

779
01:00:39,527 --> 01:00:40,387
Yes, we were.

780
01:00:41,168 --> 01:00:45,148
I really don't see why anyone should have any objection to this.

781
01:00:45,898 --> 01:00:49,168
The Chinese hawker might very well have been an Indian hawker.

782
01:00:49,248 --> 01:00:49,806
Thank you, sir.

783
01:00:51,248 --> 01:00:52,527
What do you think, Indu?

784
01:00:53,768 --> 01:00:57,668
I think your film is a human story. Truly

785
01:00:57,688 --> 01:00:58,268
remarkable.

786
01:00:58,507 --> 01:00:59,987
Actually, even I liked it a lot.

787
01:01:01,027 --> 01:01:02,768
Though you never spoke much about it.

788
01:01:06,324 --> 01:01:09,913
That's not true. But under the blue

789
01:01:09,963 --> 01:01:11,954
sky, well

790
01:01:13,563 --> 01:01:17,364
even if I strengthen the ground beneath my feet, that's not entirely me.

791
01:01:17,403 --> 01:01:21,344
Too sentimental, technically a very raw

792
01:01:21,353 --> 01:01:25,324
work. Like Kalika's makeup, it's very

793
01:01:25,384 --> 01:01:25,563
a-

794
01:01:25,643 --> 01:01:26,103
True

795
01:01:27,664 --> 01:01:29,463
but it had its heart in the right place.

796
01:01:33,063 --> 01:01:34,684
Is heart alone enough, Kunal?

797
01:01:35,884 --> 01:01:38,204
Heart, mind, soul, when these three

798
01:01:39,884 --> 01:01:42,963
come together, then it's something.

799
01:01:44,923 --> 01:01:47,304
That happened from Baishakh 22.

800
01:01:47,324 --> 01:01:51,164
Well, there's no connection between Rabindranath or his death and your film.

801
01:01:51,204 --> 01:01:53,012
So why are you being so stubborn about the title?

802
01:01:53,023 --> 01:01:56,744
No no no no you think there isn't. But
there is communication. On the twenty-second of Shravan, a person

803
01:01:56,804 --> 01:02:00,463
The death day of a great person may be. But millions of common
people around the world...

804
01:02:00,503 --> 01:02:04,494
That day can also be a
significant day for people. For ordinary people,

805
01:02:04,523 --> 01:02:06,143
History has no right to take away rights.

806
01:02:06,184 --> 01:02:10,123
You are being too childish.
Are you doing something else?

807
01:02:10,163 --> 01:02:11,583
Can't you keep the name with the date?

808
01:02:11,623 --> 01:02:12,503
No.

809
01:02:12,583 --> 01:02:15,134
Don't take this lightly,
one day before or after. I give you the option

810
01:02:15,184 --> 01:02:15,193
I am giving-

811
01:02:15,193 --> 01:02:16,034
I told you it's not possible.

812
01:02:16,063 --> 01:02:18,833
Can you think of something like Ekushey Shrabon or Teish Shrabon?

813
01:02:18,884 --> 01:02:19,853
It's not possible in any way.

814
01:02:19,864 --> 01:02:22,083
Why? Why can't you keep it? For what reason?

815
01:02:22,114 --> 01:02:25,384
Because their wedding
was on the twenty-second of Shravan. That day is their wedding date. This also includes me.

816
01:02:25,463 --> 01:02:25,643
Some

817
01:02:25,664 --> 01:02:26,704
There is nothing to do, and you have nothing to do either.

818
01:02:26,744 --> 01:02:30,623
Oh please don't do this. A hundred years
is coming ahead. In the meantime

819
01:02:30,664 --> 01:02:34,333
When people go and see that there is any
picture of yours with Rabindranath
Thakur

820
01:02:34,403 --> 01:02:35,483
No communication, it will get angry.

821
01:02:35,523 --> 01:02:38,682
I don't care if you get angry.
But why have you suddenly gotten angry?

822
01:02:39,224 --> 01:02:39,844
In the middle like this-

823
01:02:40,063 --> 01:02:43,884
Why don't you want to get angry? I am accountable to the audience.

824
01:02:43,903 --> 01:02:44,623
Listen to what we have to say.

825
01:02:44,684 --> 01:02:46,983
You have a responsibility. I have no
responsibility.

826
01:02:47,043 --> 01:02:49,943
You,
Listen to what I'm saying calmly. Yes, say it.

827
01:02:50,003 --> 01:02:52,583
Alright,
your words are noted. Now listen to our words.

828
01:02:52,623 --> 01:02:53,733
What is it like when it's the 24th of Shravan?

829
01:02:54,523 --> 01:02:58,284
It won't rain in Bhadra. There's no question about it.

830
01:02:58,364 --> 01:03:00,284
I will go to Delhi if necessary. Appeal

831
01:03:00,364 --> 01:03:02,463
I will do it.

832
01:03:02,704 --> 01:03:06,494
Delhi. After Delhi

833
01:03:06,503 --> 01:03:10,414
A documentary is being commissioned about Rabindranath this year.
They are making it.

834
01:03:10,463 --> 01:03:12,364
Your friend Manik Roy.

835
01:03:12,423 --> 01:03:12,744
Yes.

836
01:03:13,704 --> 01:03:17,653
She is making three daughters to pay tribute to Rabindranath Tagore.
So you are normal like her.

837
01:03:17,784 --> 01:03:20,503
Why aren't you doing anything meaningful
about Rabindranath Tagore?

838
01:03:21,844 --> 01:03:22,164
What does it mean?

839
01:03:22,384 --> 01:03:23,623
[Laughter]

840
01:03:24,704 --> 01:03:28,623
Oh these buffoons! They ultimately agreed.

841
01:03:28,704 --> 01:03:29,884
From Delhi.

842
01:03:29,963 --> 01:03:33,083
That's good. But Mrinal

843
01:03:34,143 --> 01:03:37,824
You cried so much, you fought so hard

844
01:03:37,923 --> 01:03:40,844
ultimately the film didn't really stand out
that much.

845
01:03:40,903 --> 01:03:41,284
So what?

846
01:03:43,264 --> 01:03:47,063
But I feel like for the first time in my life
I was able to say something in my own way. A

847
01:03:47,103 --> 01:03:47,813
I was able to tell a story.

848
01:03:47,864 --> 01:03:49,824
It was such a cruel
and a hopeless film you know.

849
01:03:50,704 --> 01:03:50,983
Maybe

850
01:03:52,384 --> 01:03:54,804
and maybe that's the reality we don't want
to see.

851
01:03:57,503 --> 01:03:58,264
Alright, forget it.

852
01:03:59,204 --> 01:04:03,003
Okay, listen, a journalist named John Nantowitz,
a prominent journalist in Paris.

853
01:04:03,083 --> 01:04:06,824
Stay. Roam around various film festivals of the world.
He is the one.

854
01:04:06,844 --> 01:04:10,804
They have seen your picture on the 22nd of Shrabon. They liked it too.

855
01:04:10,824 --> 01:04:14,764
Now when you go to Paris,
remember to meet her. She has your picture.

856
01:04:14,804 --> 01:04:18,123
You have seen in Venice. He was praising it a lot. He

857
01:04:18,164 --> 01:04:19,103
Someone is here.

858
01:04:19,164 --> 01:04:21,664
I will definitely meet. Thank you for passing
on the message.

859
01:04:21,963 --> 01:04:24,724
And you were saying something about the
trilogy?

860
01:04:26,643 --> 01:04:29,983
I think

861
01:04:30,224 --> 01:04:33,963
Your Unbeaten is even better than the Path's

862
01:04:34,003 --> 01:04:35,184
Regulations.

863
01:04:35,244 --> 01:04:35,824
What are you saying?

864
01:04:36,864 --> 01:04:37,543
Most definitely

865
01:04:38,724 --> 01:04:39,704
this modernism

866
01:04:40,684 --> 01:04:43,724
Forget about India.

867
01:04:43,764 --> 01:04:47,023
It is not seen much in world cinema either.

868
01:04:47,884 --> 01:04:51,384
Maybe it means Exception

869
01:04:52,184 --> 01:04:54,244
Passion of Zono Park.

870
01:04:55,704 --> 01:04:59,393
Exactly for this reason I wasn't surprised to see
that the audience accepted it

871
01:04:59,483 --> 01:04:59,784
has not done,

872
01:05:00,724 --> 01:05:03,704
Venice has selected that.

873
01:05:06,224 --> 01:05:08,172
The sentiment of the Bengali people is such a big blow.

874
01:05:09,884 --> 01:05:10,384
As in?

875
01:05:11,224 --> 01:05:14,943
The way you have shown the mother-son relationship
as much as

876
01:05:15,003 --> 01:05:18,744
Complicated is just as true. I mean, did you think that...

877
01:05:18,804 --> 01:05:22,264
Will the audience accept?
Almost like the standard of lovers.

878
01:05:22,324 --> 01:05:25,804
Complexity of pride.
Not waking me up from sleep.

879
01:05:25,844 --> 01:05:29,344
Saying they are angry. Can't catch the train.
Feeling scared.

880
01:05:30,704 --> 01:05:33,384
And so, mother has to manage.

881
01:05:33,423 --> 01:05:35,684
And what about the upper earth?

882
01:05:37,684 --> 01:05:39,193
Good.

883
01:05:40,204 --> 01:05:43,983
Just a moment later. That one.

884
01:05:44,023 --> 01:05:45,943
The news of the death of the incomplete.

885
01:05:45,983 --> 01:05:49,103
The moment. Such a big build up

886
01:05:50,143 --> 01:05:53,903
What a wonderful moment. A little bit of editing

887
01:05:53,983 --> 01:05:55,784
Everything has come to an end because of the mistake.

888
01:05:55,844 --> 01:05:59,724
So you mean to say that hitting him on the back
is against his nature?

889
01:05:59,764 --> 01:06:00,483
is happening.

890
01:06:00,523 --> 01:06:00,824
Hmm

891
01:06:01,704 --> 01:06:01,943
No no

892
01:06:02,983 --> 01:06:06,724
the reaction was amazing. But then
on his brother

893
01:06:06,784 --> 01:06:07,724
What was the need to stay?

894
01:06:08,623 --> 01:06:12,143
So whenever he gets slapped, that bewildered
expression on his face is for the audience.

895
01:06:12,164 --> 01:06:14,284
So at that time, I mean I...

896
01:06:15,324 --> 01:06:18,963
I have seen the movie twice. At that time
the audience bursts into laughter again.

897
01:06:19,003 --> 01:06:22,943
Everything comes to an end. I think it's
on you.

898
01:06:22,963 --> 01:06:26,923
Should have been with him. Follow him and go inside.

899
01:06:26,963 --> 01:06:29,884
It was necessary. Only then it would be terrifying.

900
01:06:29,923 --> 01:06:32,583
A pathos

901
01:06:33,884 --> 01:06:36,244
shock would be created.

902
01:06:38,204 --> 01:06:39,423
I'm afraid you are right

903
01:06:40,364 --> 01:06:42,463
that one shot ruined it.

904
01:06:42,744 --> 01:06:46,594
Whatever you say, I won't remove the shot. No, no
Venice is just fine.

905
01:06:46,643 --> 01:06:50,563
Took it away. I mean, without any subtitles
they praised it enthusiastically.

906
01:06:50,603 --> 01:06:53,164
And now say London. Hey

907
01:06:54,364 --> 01:06:56,164
Should I hand the fork and spoon to Hero?

908
01:06:57,623 --> 01:07:01,224
At that time, people ate like that. Have you ever
not eaten for three days?

909
01:07:01,264 --> 01:07:04,103
Have you been there? Yes,
that's how people have eaten. Millions of people

910
01:07:04,184 --> 01:07:05,164
A skeletal person. This is

911
01:07:05,224 --> 01:07:09,083
You have to remember. Now if there is any
among the gentlemen about this

912
01:07:09,103 --> 01:07:12,983
It's uncomfortable for that, that's their
problem. I don't know anything. I'm moving the shot.

913
01:07:13,063 --> 01:07:13,224
No.

914
01:07:14,972 --> 01:07:18,911
This is a shortcoming created by them. If needed,
I will take it directly to London.

915
01:07:18,952 --> 01:07:22,670
I will send it. Still, I will not
remove this city. This is my final word.

916
01:07:22,692 --> 01:07:26,501
Remember one more thing that I have only
compromised with a film once in my life.

917
01:07:26,512 --> 01:07:29,512
I did that,
which is why I couldn't sleep for months.

918
01:07:29,532 --> 01:07:30,032
Then not like this again

919
01:07:30,351 --> 01:07:31,382
It will happen. I kept it. Brother,

920
01:07:32,831 --> 01:07:37,512
How much

921
01:07:37,731 --> 01:07:39,211
What happened? Wait, right here

922
01:07:39,632 --> 01:07:42,862
Stop. No, no, no, go back

923
01:07:43,911 --> 01:07:47,282
Go, go back. Yes,
forty-eight frames from this frame. A freeze

924
01:07:47,351 --> 01:07:48,311
Two. Freeze?

925
01:07:48,612 --> 01:07:52,521
Suddenly? Here is the flow of the story

926
01:07:52,612 --> 01:07:56,552
I need a push. Hold everything for a second
and then move on.

927
01:07:56,592 --> 01:08:00,572
Go ahead. Give it. The purists will be terribly angry.
Mrinal,

928
01:08:00,751 --> 01:08:04,452
So many freeze frames, so many jump cuts.

929
01:08:04,541 --> 01:08:07,400
Well,
if a purist gets upset, then I

930
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:08,211
What difference does it make?

931
01:08:08,331 --> 01:08:11,831
If there is no conflict with him, then the film
will change.

932
01:08:12,231 --> 01:08:13,242
How will it be?

933
01:08:14,152 --> 01:08:15,592
We are all prototypes of each other

934
01:08:16,452 --> 01:08:17,792
And cheaper clones will be made, right?

935
01:08:20,292 --> 01:08:23,332
Do what I am saying. O Vasudev,
bring a leader of forty-eight frames.

936
01:08:23,431 --> 01:08:27,412
Come. Maybe we are doing a little too much. But

937
01:08:27,452 --> 01:08:29,891
popular story telling convention

938
01:08:30,712 --> 01:08:34,391
And the rules cannot be broken. There is no
release. Donkey,

939
01:08:36,292 --> 01:08:39,542
The skill of storytelling will be lost. Our film
at a turning point

940
01:08:40,832 --> 01:08:42,811
It has arrived. The Indian New Wave.

941
01:08:42,851 --> 01:08:46,752
However, Manikkha Babu is this

942
01:08:46,811 --> 01:08:50,681
There was no objection to the metaphor. The Lord had also
written it. Yes, but

943
01:08:50,681 --> 01:08:54,452
You had rebuffed him.

944
01:08:55,471 --> 01:08:57,612
If you don't have a worthy answer, stay silent

945
01:08:57,771 --> 01:09:01,231
It's foolish. Hey

946
01:09:01,311 --> 01:09:03,971
No, no. For me,
workshops or special lectures in between.

947
01:09:04,091 --> 01:09:05,292
Okay. I

948
01:09:05,301 --> 01:09:09,122
I won't be able to stay without making a film. Listen,
I need to go to Mumbai for a day.

949
01:09:09,122 --> 01:09:12,902
Yes,
Varun insisted a lot. He wants me to

950
01:09:12,902 --> 01:09:13,002
His

951
01:09:12,931 --> 01:09:14,051
a little time with him in the office

952
01:09:14,952 --> 01:09:18,032
I'll meet you. Listen,
I'll call you again tomorrow or the day after.

953
01:09:18,072 --> 01:09:18,212
Your

954
01:09:18,252 --> 01:09:22,162
Is your health good? Are you taking the medicines?

955
01:09:22,162 --> 01:09:25,752
Are you taking it regularly? Yes,
I'm good. And

956
01:09:26,612 --> 01:09:30,442
There is no problem for Konali's school.
Alright, I

957
01:09:30,471 --> 01:09:31,572
I am keeping it. Okay.

958
01:09:40,112 --> 01:09:43,622
Hey, where are you going? Hey, I'll tell you,
I'll tell you. Sit down,

959
01:09:44,051 --> 01:09:45,771
Sit there, there.

960
01:09:47,032 --> 01:09:47,561
What is this?

961
01:09:48,431 --> 01:09:52,131
There is paper, a typewriter, and your brain. Meaning?

962
01:09:52,931 --> 01:09:55,652
It means you have to write a script now. Script?

963
01:09:56,292 --> 01:09:56,421
Hey,

964
01:09:57,551 --> 01:10:01,051
I have a train to board in five hours.
Enough time for a script.

965
01:10:01,771 --> 01:10:04,952
Are you mad? A script in five hours? Listen,

966
01:10:05,811 --> 01:10:09,712
I have spoken to the chairman of the Film Finance Corporation, Himmat Ahluwalia. They are

967
01:10:09,752 --> 01:10:11,731
looking at making very low budget Hindi films.

968
01:10:11,771 --> 01:10:13,712
So write something which I can submit to the selection

969
01:10:13,771 --> 01:10:14,091
committee.

970
01:10:15,252 --> 01:10:17,731
Hey, if anyone can do it, it is you.

971
01:10:19,271 --> 01:10:22,032
Tea, coffee, and lunch will all come. From outside

972
01:10:22,091 --> 01:10:23,212
I'm locking it so that

973
01:10:23,252 --> 01:10:26,811
you can't escape. Hey, listen.

974
01:10:37,631 --> 01:10:39,051
Mrinal Sen? Yes, ma'am.

975
01:10:39,952 --> 01:10:42,372
But the budget he submitted is ridiculously low.

976
01:10:42,931 --> 01:10:44,011
Just 1.5 lakhs.

977
01:10:44,832 --> 01:10:46,492
Well, I don't think you can make a Hindi film in

978
01:10:46,532 --> 01:10:47,051
that budget.

979
01:10:48,212 --> 01:10:50,171
Think of it from this perspective.

980
01:10:50,891 --> 01:10:54,131
Since it is so low, the government has nothing to lose.

981
01:10:54,631 --> 01:10:58,391
But if it succeeds, then the new wing

982
01:10:58,492 --> 01:11:00,011
of- NFDC, ma'am. Yes.

983
01:11:01,152 --> 01:11:04,391
NFDC will gain a lot. But are we sure about the director here?

984
01:11:04,712 --> 01:11:06,952
I mean, it's not a Manikya Ray that we're talking about.

985
01:11:08,931 --> 01:11:11,271
There is a world beyond Manikya Ray, Gujral ji.

986
01:11:12,032 --> 01:11:14,051
Sen has won three National Awards.

987
01:11:14,572 --> 01:11:17,231
His films have gone to London and Venice.

988
01:11:18,431 --> 01:11:21,692
I have seen his work. Left-leaning, but

989
01:11:22,471 --> 01:11:23,112
very good.

990
01:11:24,612 --> 01:11:27,912
Give him the funding. The whole line? Yes, Abbas ji.

991
01:11:28,631 --> 01:11:30,572
Utkal Dutta, Shankar Chatterjee.

992
01:11:31,811 --> 01:11:35,530
It's a Hindi debut for them. Also got a new girl.

993
01:11:35,711 --> 01:11:39,391
Okay. Subhashini. Cameraman is also a fresher. K. K. Mahavir.

994
01:11:39,412 --> 01:11:40,752
Okay. So that's why

995
01:11:41,752 --> 01:11:45,631
if the voice was also new. Sir, আমি বাংলা জানি।

996
01:11:45,692 --> 01:11:49,192
আমি কলকাতার ছেলে। Great. Though your

997
01:11:49,212 --> 01:11:50,332
Bengali is lousy,

998
01:11:51,171 --> 01:11:54,032
your voice is very good. Let's go. Thank you.
Fit to set.

999
01:11:54,631 --> 01:11:57,532
Um, you two talk. I'll just be back.
Thank you so much.

1000
01:11:58,231 --> 01:12:00,532
Just thank you won't do, Mrinal.

1001
01:12:01,231 --> 01:12:03,311
I will loan him to you only on one condition.

1002
01:12:03,992 --> 01:12:07,271
You get me Utkal Dutta for my next. Okay, okay. I'll talk to him.

1003
01:12:07,832 --> 01:12:08,572
Thank you. Welcome.

1004
01:12:10,171 --> 01:12:11,811
Amit. Yes, sir.

1005
01:12:12,851 --> 01:12:15,712
How much should I pay you? Oh no, no. Nothing.

1006
01:12:16,811 --> 01:12:19,931
Actually, this is my first work in films.
So for me it's an honor.

1007
01:12:21,192 --> 01:12:24,912
No, no. Your honor and everything is fine.

1008
01:12:25,742 --> 01:12:29,131
But all of us are taking payments.
So you have to too.

1009
01:12:29,171 --> 01:12:30,931
Mrinal da, how can I-
Take it professionally.

1010
01:12:31,752 --> 01:12:32,591
Is this your profession?

1011
01:12:34,412 --> 01:12:37,072
Yes. So something. Okay, Mrinal da.

1012
01:12:37,952 --> 01:12:39,551
Whatever you think is okay,
I'm fine with it.

1013
01:12:39,891 --> 01:12:40,372
I think

1014
01:12:41,452 --> 01:12:43,612
we can manage three hundred rupees. Great.

1015
01:12:44,832 --> 01:12:46,471
My first remuneration in films.

1016
01:13:27,641 --> 01:13:31,202
Congratulations for Bhuvanashram. I hear you're doing very good business.

1017
01:13:31,212 --> 01:13:34,221
The first Hindi film itself is a jackpot.

1018
01:13:35,181 --> 01:13:38,862
Thank you Manikkha Babu. Venice and President Gold Medal.

1019
01:13:38,942 --> 01:13:42,591
Truly satisfying. But the box office is purely

1020
01:13:43,002 --> 01:13:45,101
an accidental success. Isn't it?

1021
01:13:46,942 --> 01:13:50,841
As many people give the tag of Indian New Wave, I feel

1022
01:13:51,042 --> 01:13:54,902
it's based on quite old and some prestigious film conventions.

1023
01:13:54,962 --> 01:13:56,481
How so?

1024
01:13:57,582 --> 01:14:01,110
Everything is there. A heroine like Misty,

1025
01:14:01,502 --> 01:14:05,202
melodious music, grand emotional music, some delightful, visually pleasing

1026
01:14:05,261 --> 01:14:06,421
scenes and above

1027
01:14:07,322 --> 01:14:11,002
a wish-fulfilling game. An old song wish
fulfilling screen story.

1028
01:14:11,061 --> 01:14:14,221
Okay Manikkha Babu, the explanation is a bit light, isn't it?

1029
01:14:14,322 --> 01:14:17,042
I mean, labor, tragic joy, solitude,

1030
01:14:17,221 --> 01:14:19,561
sharp-tongued nature.

1031
01:14:20,502 --> 01:14:24,421
People are used to being alone, aren't they? So can it

1032
01:14:24,502 --> 01:14:25,981
be summarized like this?

1033
01:14:26,402 --> 01:14:30,180
I think it can be. Big bad bureaucrat reformed by

1034
01:14:30,481 --> 01:14:33,782
rustic belle. [laughs] I'm giving you a better summary.

1035
01:14:35,221 --> 01:14:38,992
Big bad bureaucrat chastised by charmer chic.

1036
01:14:39,042 --> 01:14:41,381
[laughs]

1037
01:14:42,042 --> 01:14:49,942
[background music]

1038
01:14:50,442 --> 01:14:53,811
How's the road, sir?
Traffic means it will turn your brain into mush.

1039
01:14:53,862 --> 01:14:57,381
Every day things are getting more expensive.
You tell me, sir,

1040
01:14:58,322 --> 01:14:59,662
what will happen to this country?

1041
01:15:00,742 --> 01:15:01,542
I don't know.

1042
01:15:01,582 --> 01:15:04,851
From above, today a fight with China,
tomorrow a fight with Pakistan. Every day a strike,

1043
01:15:05,221 --> 01:15:05,542
every night

1044
01:15:05,561 --> 01:15:07,582
the trouble of electricity.

1045
01:15:07,662 --> 01:15:08,412
That's true.

1046
01:15:08,442 --> 01:15:12,421
And all these corporate people don't do any work
properly. Government officers,

1047
01:15:13,082 --> 01:15:14,721
all useless.

1048
01:15:16,021 --> 01:15:17,242
Have you seen Bhuvan Shome?

1049
01:15:17,481 --> 01:15:18,702
Yes, sir.

1050
01:15:18,742 --> 01:15:20,801
Bhuvan Shome cinema.

1051
01:15:20,881 --> 01:15:24,242
Bhuvan Shome. Yes, sir, I saw it.

1052
01:15:24,301 --> 01:15:27,402
It's a story of a girl and an officer, right?

1053
01:15:27,442 --> 01:15:30,841
We are the directors of that film.

1054
01:15:30,942 --> 01:15:32,282
You are Mr.-Mr-

1055
01:15:32,721 --> 01:15:34,042
Mrinal Sen.

1056
01:15:34,140 --> 01:15:36,681
Oh sir,
that was a very good picture. Very nice,

1057
01:15:37,601 --> 01:15:38,442
completely different.

1058
01:15:40,061 --> 01:15:41,542
Here you go, sir, it's open.

1059
01:15:47,322 --> 01:15:50,231
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

1060
01:15:50,261 --> 01:15:52,502
This.

1061
01:15:54,301 --> 01:15:55,442
Here you go.

1062
01:15:55,502 --> 01:15:59,372
Oh, let it be, sir, bringing an artist like you,
that's enough for me.

1063
01:15:59,381 --> 01:16:02,181
Oh, how can that be? No, no, please take it.

1064
01:16:02,261 --> 01:16:04,702
No,
no, we won't take it. Your picture was very

1065
01:16:04,761 --> 01:16:06,242
good, sir. We can't

1066
01:16:06,282 --> 01:16:07,402
take it.

1067
01:16:07,502 --> 01:16:11,442
Oh, it doesn't work like that, please take the money.

1068
01:16:11,502 --> 01:16:11,761
Sir

1069
01:16:12,622 --> 01:16:14,981
you are getting late. You had a meeting, right?

1070
01:16:16,381 --> 01:16:19,721
We can't take it, sir. The picture was very good.

1071
01:16:19,742 --> 01:16:21,841
Sir.

1072
01:16:22,702 --> 01:16:26,221
Just make me three more Bhuvan Shomes.
Nothing else

1073
01:16:26,282 --> 01:16:28,572
is needed. [laughs]

1074
01:16:28,702 --> 01:16:29,462
Mr. Sharma.

1075
01:16:29,471 --> 01:16:30,301
Yes, sir.

1076
01:16:30,341 --> 01:16:32,761
Films are not factory-made garments.

1077
01:16:33,742 --> 01:16:35,782
No made to order, no cloning.

1078
01:16:35,801 --> 01:16:37,322
Oh no,
no, you are misunderstanding. I didn't mean that.

1079
01:16:37,362 --> 01:16:38,002
I meant

1080
01:16:38,902 --> 01:16:40,261
don't make exactly that,

1081
01:16:41,502 --> 01:16:44,841
make something of that type. Hmm.

1082
01:16:44,902 --> 01:16:47,252
Type? Type as in?

1083
01:16:47,261 --> 01:16:47,622
What do you mean?

1084
01:16:50,242 --> 01:16:53,841
Forget it. You make a film on the story you like,
with a good location, good songs,
a good heroine.

1085
01:16:53,862 --> 01:16:57,502
I will get you the biggest stars.
There will be no tension about the budget. I guarantee

1086
01:16:57,542 --> 01:17:01,402
my Jai Mata Di.

1087
01:17:01,442 --> 01:17:02,582
No, no, Sharma ji,
for me, a low budget is better, baba.

1088
01:17:02,641 --> 01:17:06,551
The pressure is less.

1089
01:17:06,561 --> 01:17:07,202
Oh brother, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult
for you to stay in Bombay.

1090
01:17:07,221 --> 01:17:11,181
I know and I don't want to as well. I will
rule in my

1091
01:17:11,202 --> 01:17:12,292
El Dorado.

1092
01:17:12,322 --> 01:17:16,261
El Dorado?

1093
01:17:16,322 --> 01:17:18,101
Hmm. Kolkata.

1094
01:17:19,141 --> 01:17:19,641
Oh.

1095
01:17:20,061 --> 01:17:21,721
Where I make my films on my own terms.

1096
01:17:21,761 --> 01:17:22,561
Okay, and which film is this?

1097
01:17:22,601 --> 01:17:24,742
For example, a film
which reflects the fast emerging political

1098
01:17:24,782 --> 01:17:26,582
truth and does not escape from it.

1099
01:17:27,381 --> 01:17:31,322
What truth is this, brother?

1100
01:17:31,402 --> 01:17:34,662
Have you heard of a village called
Naxalbari?

1101
01:17:34,721 --> 01:17:35,622
And action.

1102
01:17:38,622 --> 01:17:40,502
Rabindranath.

1103
01:17:41,322 --> 01:17:42,462
Rabindranath. Karl Marx.

1104
01:17:44,442 --> 01:17:46,631
Rabindranath. Karl Marx.

1105
01:17:49,122 --> 01:17:52,061
Fire. Cleopatra.

1106
01:17:56,841 --> 01:18:00,641
Odile Ghose. Helena

1107
01:18:02,261 --> 01:18:04,082
Foy.

1108
01:18:05,521 --> 01:18:08,942
Shakespeare.

1109
01:18:09,061 --> 01:18:10,322
Mao

1110
01:18:11,402 --> 01:18:13,801
Zedong.

1111
01:18:16,601 --> 01:18:16,742
Mao

1112
01:18:16,782 --> 01:18:24,181
Zedong.

1113
01:18:26,242 --> 01:18:26,402
Mao

1114
01:18:26,442 --> 01:18:32,921
Zedong.

1115
01:18:37,341 --> 01:18:37,521
Mao

1116
01:18:37,542 --> 01:18:49,841
Zedong.

1117
01:18:58,301 --> 01:18:58,502
Mao

1118
01:18:58,561 --> 01:19:13,021
Zedong.

1119
01:19:13,032 --> 01:19:17,862
Mao

1120
01:19:24,622 --> 01:19:24,771
Zedong.

1121
01:19:30,337 --> 01:19:31,837
Cut it. If you read the script,

1122
01:19:32,978 --> 01:19:33,457
how did it feel?

1123
01:19:34,398 --> 01:19:38,097
Fantastic Mrinal Da. Such an experimental
film,

1124
01:19:38,177 --> 01:19:41,837
has rarely been made in Bengali. But after seeing
today's sequence,

1125
01:19:42,597 --> 01:19:46,018
I remembered that I went to a shooting of Manikda's
last week. I remember that.

1126
01:19:46,037 --> 01:19:47,217
গেল।

1127
01:19:47,257 --> 01:19:47,677
Which shoot?

1128
01:19:48,398 --> 01:19:51,637
Oh, there's a film called 'Competitor' based on
Sunil Ganguly's rivalry.

1129
01:19:51,698 --> 01:19:53,828
No. There's a new guy there,

1130
01:19:54,658 --> 01:19:58,478
who did such a good job. So there was a very

1131
01:19:58,518 --> 01:20:02,497
powerful interview sequence. He asked people,
"What would you regard

1132
01:20:02,578 --> 01:20:06,297
as the most outstanding
and significant event of the last decade?"

1133
01:20:06,738 --> 01:20:08,518
The war in Vietnam sir.

1134
01:20:10,417 --> 01:20:12,018
More significant than the landing on the
moon?

1135
01:20:13,078 --> 01:20:13,717
I think so sir.

1136
01:20:16,377 --> 01:20:17,078
Are you a communist?

1137
01:20:18,478 --> 01:20:18,497
I

1138
01:20:19,457 --> 01:20:21,978
don't think one has to be one in order to
admire Vietnam sir.

1139
01:20:22,278 --> 01:20:24,097
What a subtle but powerful statement, right?

1140
01:20:25,238 --> 01:20:27,007
Thank you Nitai, thank you so much.

1141
01:20:27,037 --> 01:20:27,358
What happened?

1142
01:20:28,177 --> 01:20:32,037
Saved from the false prophet. Thank goodness the sequence
hasn't been shot yet.

1143
01:20:32,078 --> 01:20:34,697
You know.

1144
01:20:34,717 --> 01:20:36,497
What is the biggest event of the day?

1145
01:20:36,877 --> 01:20:37,637
Today?

1146
01:20:37,677 --> 01:20:38,557
Yes.

1147
01:20:40,018 --> 01:20:41,457
My interview sir.

1148
01:20:42,698 --> 01:20:43,957
Cut. Good.

1149
01:20:45,057 --> 01:20:48,997
Very good. Excellent. Nitai.

1150
01:20:51,557 --> 01:20:53,978
They have sent your tickets.

1151
01:20:54,018 --> 01:20:55,257
First class, right?

1152
01:20:55,297 --> 01:20:58,898
Of course, considering the ruckus you created
last time with Bhuban's

1153
01:20:58,917 --> 01:20:59,537
time.

1154
01:20:59,837 --> 01:21:03,738
They could have sent an economy class ticket
to any filmmaker from Latin America or Europe.

1155
01:21:03,778 --> 01:21:07,597
Everyone has their own status. We should
respect that—

1156
01:21:07,637 --> 01:21:10,347
Oh come on,
it was Venice, sorry they said. Clerical error,

1157
01:21:10,387 --> 01:21:14,007
they say.

1158
01:21:14,057 --> 01:21:14,608
Oh, that's nonsense. And they couldn't even imagine that
someone from this

1159
01:21:14,677 --> 01:21:18,037
tormented Bengal could say no to them. Such inferiority—

1160
01:21:18,057 --> 01:21:21,627
Would you like some tea?

1161
01:21:21,698 --> 01:21:22,068
Where is mom?

1162
01:21:24,557 --> 01:21:26,037
Mom has stepped out a bit. I'm making it.

1163
01:21:26,097 --> 01:21:28,578
Hmm.

1164
01:21:28,898 --> 01:21:29,217
You know Babu, hmm,

1165
01:21:30,877 --> 01:21:32,158
now I remember,

1166
01:21:33,858 --> 01:21:34,757
once in conversation,

1167
01:21:36,217 --> 01:21:37,217
when I was scheduling a film, I said, hmm,

1168
01:21:38,018 --> 01:21:40,578
you can find a wife if you lose a wife. But if you lose a film,
you can't find a film.

1169
01:21:42,118 --> 01:21:45,917
No. I said that in a completely joking manner.

1170
01:21:45,978 --> 01:21:48,797
At that time, mom felt very sad hearing that.

1171
01:21:48,837 --> 01:21:51,837
Am I a very selfish person, right?

1172
01:21:52,738 --> 01:21:55,318
Hmm.

1173
01:22:02,057 --> 01:22:04,297
What?

1174
01:22:04,318 --> 01:22:05,217
I

1175
01:22:06,837 --> 01:22:07,238
have always tried to—

1176
01:22:09,717 --> 01:22:10,198
The path from good to great is like this, my dear.
Utter

1177
01:22:11,997 --> 01:22:12,457
selfishness. If you don't prioritize cinema above all,

1178
01:22:13,637 --> 01:22:15,997
cinema wouldn't prioritize you above all.

1179
01:22:16,158 --> 01:22:19,757
Believe me, I know your mother very—

1180
01:22:19,858 --> 01:22:23,618
well. Me too.

1181
01:22:23,637 --> 01:22:26,757
All of us.

1182
01:22:28,037 --> 01:22:30,557
But not more than oneself.

1183
01:22:30,898 --> 01:22:32,137
Day after day, month after month.

1184
01:22:33,057 --> 01:22:33,957
Mom managed the household alone,

1185
01:22:36,198 --> 01:22:39,278
taking on your responsibilities.

1186
01:22:41,917 --> 01:22:45,097
Her acting career,

1187
01:22:46,978 --> 01:22:48,238
forgetting her own tastes and pleasures.

1188
01:22:49,618 --> 01:22:53,478
But then you were busy with your own films. Who's the wife, who's the

1189
01:22:53,518 --> 01:22:54,518
child?

1190
01:22:55,497 --> 01:22:58,238
I had no options, Babu. I

1191
01:23:00,597 --> 01:23:03,757
won't stop until I completely—

1192
01:23:03,797 --> 01:23:05,898
let go, my dear. I understand.

1193
01:23:07,018 --> 01:23:10,898
Every genius is extremely mediocre
somewhere

1194
01:23:10,957 --> 01:23:12,377
in some capacity.

1195
01:23:12,478 --> 01:23:16,337
[Some movie music is playing in the background]

1196
01:23:17,597 --> 01:23:19,837
Dear Geeta,
coming to Venice three times in a row has made the roads here

1197
01:23:20,917 --> 01:23:23,097
very familiar

1198
01:23:25,578 --> 01:23:50,438
[Some movie music plays in the background]

1199
01:23:52,497 --> 01:23:55,818
Dear Geeta,
Been here three times in a row to Venice

1200
01:23:55,858 --> 01:23:56,337
the streets

1201
01:23:56,358 --> 01:24:00,337
I've become quite familiar. Made some friends too. Like the previous two times,

1202
01:24:00,377 --> 01:24:04,137
the main festival is happening at Lido. In fact, where 'Baishe

1203
01:24:04,198 --> 01:24:07,898
Shrabon' and 'Bhuban Shome' were shown. Various good and bad films from around the world

1204
01:24:07,917 --> 01:24:11,497
have come. But I enjoyed the Chaplin retrospective the most

1205
01:24:11,837 --> 01:24:15,238
and I realized my favorite Chaplin film is Monsieur

1206
01:24:15,278 --> 01:24:19,198
Verdoux. One murder makes a villain, millions a hero.

1207
01:24:19,698 --> 01:24:22,877
Numbers sanctify. Can you imagine how powerful this line is, Geeta?

1208
01:24:23,698 --> 01:24:27,677
Maybe I'll meet him. He's coming to the closing ceremony. Stanley

1209
01:24:27,717 --> 01:24:31,337
Kubrick's Clockwork Orange was quite impressive. And Harman Hess's

1210
01:24:31,398 --> 01:24:34,917
Siddhartha was equally bad. From our country, three films

1211
01:24:34,938 --> 01:24:38,318
have come to the information section, Manik Babu's Private Limited

1212
01:24:38,877 --> 01:24:40,158
and Nitin Karnad's Samskara

1213
01:24:41,198 --> 01:24:44,978
and in the main section, my Calcutta 71. Seeing the line outside the screening of 71

1214
01:24:44,997 --> 01:24:48,917
reminded me of when it was running in the hall, from the line to enter the hall

1215
01:24:48,957 --> 01:24:52,557
the police arrested many Naxalite workers.

1216
01:24:53,717 --> 01:24:56,997
Of course, they arrested the filmmaker then, why would they spare the audience?

1217
01:24:57,177 --> 01:25:01,078
But when the whole world is about to watch this film, two incidents from 71 are very

1218
01:25:01,097 --> 01:25:02,528
vividly coming to mind as I sit here.

1219
01:25:02,557 --> 01:25:03,608
I'm telling you, let the man come out.

1220
01:25:03,618 --> 01:25:04,177
Don't do it.

1221
01:25:04,198 --> 01:25:04,627
You know it.

1222
01:25:04,677 --> 01:25:06,698
There are a lot of people here. It won't be right to do it here.

1223
01:25:06,717 --> 01:25:07,417
I'll smash your head.

1224
01:25:07,438 --> 01:25:08,108
Don't do it.

1225
01:25:08,118 --> 01:25:08,578
Smash your head means—

1226
01:25:08,658 --> 01:25:10,877
There are a lot of people here. It won't be right to do anything.

1227
01:25:10,898 --> 01:25:11,497
He's gone out.

1228
01:25:11,518 --> 01:25:12,047
Don't go.

1229
01:25:12,118 --> 01:25:13,927
When was the shooting of this film done, huh?

1230
01:25:13,957 --> 01:25:14,757
Let's not do anything.

1231
01:25:14,797 --> 01:25:14,978
What do you mean?

1232
01:25:15,318 --> 01:25:17,457
When was the shooting of Calcutta 71 done?

1233
01:25:17,917 --> 01:25:19,957
Last year in September. Why?

1234
01:25:19,978 --> 01:25:20,807
You're lying.

1235
01:25:20,818 --> 01:25:20,978
Sorry, sorry.

1236
01:25:21,018 --> 01:25:21,988
That man is lying.

1237
01:25:21,988 --> 01:25:22,578
Hey, keep quiet.

1238
01:25:22,618 --> 01:25:24,068
We were here today. I saw it that day.

1239
01:25:24,097 --> 01:25:24,578
Hey, calm down.

1240
01:25:24,587 --> 01:25:26,318
Your friend was standing there giving a speech.

1241
01:25:26,358 --> 01:25:27,118
What happened?

1242
01:25:27,158 --> 01:25:29,528
The police were firing. He did nothing. You're lying.

1243
01:25:29,528 --> 01:25:30,287
Hey, keep quiet. Let me speak.

1244
01:25:33,421 --> 01:25:37,261
Sir, they are actually not in their right mind. Don't mind them. He had a camera

1245
01:25:37,341 --> 01:25:41,162
in his hand. Actually, three years ago, in sixty-nine, one of our friends

1246
01:25:41,301 --> 01:25:45,061
was giving a speech at Esplanade East. At that time, he was killed by police firing, sir.

1247
01:25:45,101 --> 01:25:45,832
He died.

1248
01:25:45,881 --> 01:25:48,801
Yes, and that incident is what we saw in your film today.

1249
01:25:48,902 --> 01:25:52,832
Sorry, I mean, we actually shot the film in seventy-one,

1250
01:25:52,862 --> 01:25:56,782
but from sixty-nine, we were collecting some shots of Calcutta.

1251
01:25:56,822 --> 01:26:00,521
A gentleman named Louis Malle had come to make a documentary on Calcutta.

1252
01:26:00,542 --> 01:26:04,362
My cameraman probably got some footage from him,

1253
01:26:04,402 --> 01:26:07,681
meaning that footage is probably what

1254
01:26:08,101 --> 01:26:10,622
was seen in the film.

1255
01:26:13,902 --> 01:26:17,381
Sir, you're lying. We are leaving.

1256
01:26:17,442 --> 01:26:21,282
Your film was very good, sir. You're lying.

1257
01:26:21,341 --> 01:26:23,931
You had a camera in your hand. You did nothing.

1258
01:26:23,942 --> 01:26:24,912
Your film was very good, sir.

1259
01:26:24,912 --> 01:26:25,962
You're lying.

1260
01:26:26,002 --> 01:26:27,122
The film was very good, sir.

1261
01:26:53,082 --> 01:26:55,141
Anibesh.

1262
01:26:59,981 --> 01:27:03,662
Later I learned that the mother saw her Naxalite

1263
01:27:03,702 --> 01:27:04,641
son in the crowd in my footage

1264
01:27:05,442 --> 01:27:08,881
whom the police killed. Can you imagine, Geeta?

1265
01:27:09,542 --> 01:27:09,962
Alright, Geeta,

1266
01:27:10,902 --> 01:27:13,921
if that boy and this mother ever met

1267
01:27:13,962 --> 01:27:16,021
someday.

1268
01:27:17,242 --> 01:27:21,162
Today I finished the letter. But before finishing, I must tell you a funny thing.

1269
01:27:21,181 --> 01:27:21,452
You see,

1270
01:27:22,742 --> 01:27:26,622
a stunningly beautiful woman came to receive me here. Seeing her,

1271
01:27:26,662 --> 01:27:30,141
I thought my long-standing desire to have a full-fledged extramarital affair

1272
01:27:30,202 --> 01:27:33,681
would be fulfilled. I was getting ready to go eat with her in a cheerful

1273
01:27:33,702 --> 01:27:37,662
mood. I mean, after applying scent, I suddenly noticed the top button of my kurta

1274
01:27:37,681 --> 01:27:41,322
was missing. What to do? What to do?

1275
01:27:41,601 --> 01:27:45,442
Should I tell the hotel or search in the suitcase? In the meantime, I suddenly noticed a small

1276
01:27:45,521 --> 01:27:48,902
packet. You had neatly packed three buttons, two needles,

1277
01:27:49,502 --> 01:27:52,921
and thread. That's it, all the romance flew

1278
01:27:52,942 --> 01:27:54,442
away. Alright,

1279
01:27:55,261 --> 01:27:59,242
what does it mean to be intertwined with every moment of life like this?

1280
01:27:59,282 --> 01:28:01,061
Are you very angry?

1281
01:28:01,101 --> 01:28:01,742
So, won't you be angry?

1282
01:28:02,622 --> 01:28:02,881
Hmm

1283
01:28:04,202 --> 01:28:07,881
That can be understood just by reading the title of your article
The chicken hearted

1284
01:28:07,921 --> 01:28:08,940
intellectual.

1285
01:28:08,962 --> 01:28:12,702
Not chicken hearted. Everyone is talking about their party
or

1286
01:28:12,742 --> 01:28:16,162
talking about the liberation war. And some, in honor of their friends in Delhi,

1287
01:28:16,221 --> 01:28:19,862
are not saying anything. They are keeping their mouths shut. Meanwhile, so many

1288
01:28:19,902 --> 01:28:23,862
young people are involved in a movement. A movement that

1289
01:28:23,902 --> 01:28:27,442
is progressing, and the inhuman police brutality on them is openly

1290
01:28:28,101 --> 01:28:31,362
fascistic state, yet no one is speaking about it. No one is opening their mouth.

1291
01:28:31,402 --> 01:28:35,061
Hmm. Well, even though you didn't name

1292
01:28:35,181 --> 01:28:38,641
them, Manikya Da and Rishiraj Da

1293
01:28:39,702 --> 01:28:41,542
might get angry if they read this.

1294
01:28:41,561 --> 01:28:45,551
If they get angry, so be it. I didn't name anyone because I
don't want to single

1295
01:28:45,601 --> 01:28:49,481
out anyone.
I'm talking about a community where

1296
01:28:49,542 --> 01:28:50,402
not just directors,

1297
01:28:51,582 --> 01:28:53,202
actors, singers,

1298
01:28:54,202 --> 01:28:58,002
lyricists are all included.
I could have made ten Bhubansam sitting in Bombay right now if I wanted to,

1299
01:28:58,021 --> 01:29:01,921
but I didn't. Because I had a responsibility

1300
01:29:02,002 --> 01:29:03,981
to react to the turbulent times around me.

1301
01:29:05,021 --> 01:29:07,192
Yes, but not everyone reacts in the same way.

1302
01:29:07,202 --> 01:29:11,122
But they do react. Now, out of fear of losing privilege, no one stays silent

1303
01:29:11,162 --> 01:29:11,282
do they?

1304
01:29:11,341 --> 01:29:13,601
Everyone sees cinema as propaganda.

1305
01:29:15,511 --> 01:29:15,921
Geeta

1306
01:29:17,801 --> 01:29:18,652
I know my

1307
01:29:19,601 --> 01:29:23,362
films have no polish. Maybe they're crude, maybe

1308
01:29:23,402 --> 01:29:26,981
raw. Maybe they don't follow the rules of telling a neat artistic story.

1309
01:29:27,042 --> 01:29:30,402
Maybe

1310
01:29:30,622 --> 01:29:33,641
they're just torn pamphlets, not a leather
bound classic

1311
01:29:33,702 --> 01:29:35,141
But

1312
01:29:36,261 --> 01:29:40,042
just for the greed of the crown of eternity, I cannot betray the present.

1313
01:29:40,082 --> 01:29:42,782
I cannot.

1314
01:29:45,721 --> 01:30:18,622
[Sound of coughing]

1315
01:30:20,061 --> 01:30:20,601
Hey?

1316
01:30:23,122 --> 01:30:24,442
Are you going out for shooting?

1317
01:30:25,561 --> 01:30:27,481
Hmm.

1318
01:30:29,362 --> 01:30:30,042
What film?

1319
01:30:31,942 --> 01:30:32,962
Mrigaaya.

1320
01:30:34,481 --> 01:30:34,981
What's it about?

1321
01:30:37,521 --> 01:30:40,402
That's a long story. Let it be.

1322
01:30:41,421 --> 01:30:42,662
Did you get discharged from the hospital?

1323
01:30:43,582 --> 01:30:45,181
Or did you leave on your own responsibility?

1324
01:30:47,261 --> 01:30:48,282
What difference does it make?

1325
01:30:49,202 --> 01:30:49,481
No

1326
01:30:50,721 --> 01:30:54,622
Nothing makes a difference. Someone who doesn't want to live
and destroys their own power bit by bit,

1327
01:30:54,681 --> 01:30:58,542
what difference does it make

1328
01:30:58,601 --> 01:30:59,061
what they say?

1329
01:30:59,502 --> 01:31:00,462
Are you giving a game?

1330
01:31:03,021 --> 01:31:03,462
Give it.

1331
01:31:05,341 --> 01:31:07,162
Geeta.

1332
01:31:07,301 --> 01:31:11,002
Geeta.

1333
01:31:11,362 --> 01:31:11,721
I'm

1334
01:31:12,702 --> 01:31:14,822
hungry.

1335
01:31:14,841 --> 01:31:15,542
Hmm.

1336
01:31:15,582 --> 01:31:16,221
I'm

1337
01:31:17,341 --> 01:31:20,242
hungry.

1338
01:31:20,322 --> 01:31:21,202
Yes.

1339
01:31:21,242 --> 01:31:21,730
I'm

1340
01:31:22,542 --> 01:31:24,141
hungry.

1341
01:31:24,202 --> 01:31:28,641
Anji.

1342
01:31:32,902 --> 01:31:33,372
[Sound of basketball in the background]

1343
01:31:55,612 --> 01:31:55,971
I

1344
01:31:57,631 --> 01:31:58,462
won't drink anymore

1345
01:31:58,471 --> 01:32:06,252
no.

1346
01:32:07,412 --> 01:32:07,872
I

1347
01:32:09,551 --> 01:32:10,551
won't live much longer.

1348
01:32:11,912 --> 01:32:14,692
If you don't quit drinking,

1349
01:32:14,752 --> 01:32:15,832
how will you survive?

1350
01:32:17,032 --> 01:32:18,271
I won't drink anymore. I won't.

1351
01:32:20,752 --> 01:32:24,511
Geeta

1352
01:32:29,072 --> 01:32:30,671
This Mrinal is a very good

1353
01:32:31,532 --> 01:32:33,811
person.

1354
01:32:33,851 --> 01:32:35,872
But that Bhubansam.

1355
01:32:37,192 --> 01:32:40,471
Nothing happened. Nothing happened.

1356
01:32:42,192 --> 01:32:45,471
Only your shoulder got bumped. No one else got hurt.

1357
01:32:45,492 --> 01:32:47,841
Nothing.

1358
01:32:47,872 --> 01:32:48,792
I won't

1359
01:32:53,811 --> 01:32:54,631
live much longer.

1360
01:32:55,771 --> 01:32:59,252
I won't live much longer.

1361
01:33:00,051 --> 01:33:00,412
I will survive

1362
01:33:00,421 --> 01:33:49,372
No.

1363
01:33:49,381 --> 01:33:53,252
First of all, I would like to inform you on behalf of all the readers of Anandabarta newspaper
many thanks.

1364
01:33:53,310 --> 01:33:55,231
Congratulations on this special jury award.

1365
01:33:55,252 --> 01:33:55,820
Thank you.

1366
01:33:55,851 --> 01:33:56,572
Alright Mrinal-babu,

1367
01:33:57,412 --> 01:34:01,072
Bhubonshom, Podatik, and Okarei's words one day every day

1368
01:34:01,131 --> 01:34:04,731
Rejected. This is the fifth time your picture
has been shown here.

1369
01:34:05,152 --> 01:34:08,851
And two years ago, in search of your famine
won an award.

1370
01:34:08,931 --> 01:34:12,771
Silva Bear from Berlin. Last year it went to Venice
for the film.

1371
01:34:13,032 --> 01:34:16,351
So can we say that,
the last five years of Mrinal Sen's career

1372
01:34:16,391 --> 01:34:16,872
Best time?

1373
01:34:18,912 --> 01:34:22,591
You will say that, right? That's a matter for the critics.

1374
01:34:22,631 --> 01:34:26,112
Some of you call it experimental genius.
Some say

1375
01:34:26,891 --> 01:34:30,452
Story, screenplay,
Direction and gimmicks. Mrinal Sen

1376
01:34:30,532 --> 01:34:30,952
Look

1377
01:34:32,091 --> 01:34:35,970
I am not a bastard in either of these. My job
is making movies.

1378
01:34:36,011 --> 01:34:38,131
And storytelling or not storytelling

1379
01:34:38,992 --> 01:34:39,131
or

1380
01:34:40,051 --> 01:34:40,992
Not saying the whole thing.

1381
01:34:41,072 --> 01:34:44,572
As you did not say and will not say. One day

1382
01:34:44,612 --> 01:34:48,412
Where was Chinu all night every day
But still today to know

1383
01:34:48,452 --> 01:34:52,271
Many viewers are restless. Many get angry with you
without even knowing.

1384
01:34:52,311 --> 01:34:55,652
Many including Manik Ray.

1385
01:34:56,652 --> 01:34:59,572
I have heard about his disturbance. Beckett once
said,

1386
01:35:00,572 --> 01:35:02,271
If he knew who Godot was

1387
01:35:03,492 --> 01:35:07,152
Then he would have written the play. I really
don't know where Chinu went,

1388
01:35:07,292 --> 01:35:11,152
Where I was. And it is because of this ignorance that I have succeeded
Similarly successful

1389
01:35:11,171 --> 01:35:14,572
My audience has done it. That's the whole point.
And this not knowing

1390
01:35:14,612 --> 01:35:18,391
That's why I have learned a lot about the surroundings,
and about people,

1391
01:35:18,492 --> 01:35:19,091
I have been able to learn.

1392
01:35:19,171 --> 01:35:22,671
One day, even if you don't win any prize every day, you are called the silent winner. So much.

1393
01:35:22,731 --> 01:35:26,631
was acclaimed. And the following year came your
search for the unknown. You

1394
01:35:26,652 --> 01:35:29,311
Silva Bear says. Where did you get the idea for this picture?

1395
01:35:29,652 --> 01:35:32,271
Someone asked after watching Fellini's Eight and a Half,

1396
01:35:33,171 --> 01:35:36,992
Why are there so few films with a film within a film
structure in Indian cinema?

1397
01:35:37,391 --> 01:35:40,391
That's where it all started.

1398
01:35:40,431 --> 01:35:43,992
Mrinal-da, finally we come out. In the last scene of the interview, if the hero

1399
01:35:44,091 --> 01:35:47,931
If a mannequin can throw a stone, then the worker
who lies dead next to the stove

1400
01:35:47,971 --> 01:35:50,372
Gone,
for whose death there is no responsibility to cover up.

1401
01:35:50,452 --> 01:35:51,652
A whole one to avoid

1402
01:35:51,731 --> 01:35:55,271
The class got up and started. That dead boy's father
In the last scene of that class.

1403
01:35:55,292 --> 01:35:57,551
Why couldn't they slap the representatives hard on the face?

1404
01:36:00,231 --> 01:36:02,190
He/She killed.

1405
01:36:04,712 --> 01:36:05,252
Did you not notice?

1406
01:36:16,511 --> 01:36:28,692
Is

1407
01:36:28,771 --> 01:36:32,032
it? Thank you so much. I am glad
that the committee loved it.

1408
01:36:32,431 --> 01:36:36,271
Loved is an understatement Mr. Sen.
They are euphoric about it.

1409
01:36:36,912 --> 01:36:39,391
But there is something I wanted to talk to
you about.

1410
01:36:39,832 --> 01:36:41,252
Yes go on Jules.

1411
01:36:41,971 --> 01:36:45,652
The committee wants to show The Rooms
but outside the competition.

1412
01:36:46,051 --> 01:36:46,952
Oh! But why?

1413
01:36:47,112 --> 01:36:47,811
Let me explain.

1414
01:36:49,292 --> 01:36:53,271
See Mr.
Ray began his journey with Cannes in 1955

1415
01:36:53,412 --> 01:36:55,492
and this will be thirty years of
that event.

1416
01:36:56,131 --> 01:36:59,792
He has promised us his latest The Home
and The World.

1417
01:37:01,051 --> 01:37:04,712
As you know he suffered a heart attack
during the shoot which totally

1418
01:37:04,872 --> 01:37:06,072
incapacitated him.

1419
01:37:08,431 --> 01:37:09,992
Well, the committee is not

1420
01:37:10,891 --> 01:37:13,292
sure that he will make films again.

1421
01:37:14,231 --> 01:37:14,431
And

1422
01:37:16,692 --> 01:37:20,431
since it might be,
it might be his last film, the

1423
01:37:20,471 --> 01:37:24,391
committee was thinking
if we can keep his film in

1424
01:37:24,431 --> 01:37:25,131
the competition.

1425
01:37:27,032 --> 01:37:30,511
So why can't two Indian films be in the
competition?

1426
01:37:30,551 --> 01:37:31,891
It's not usually the practice.

1427
01:37:32,891 --> 01:37:36,652
The committee has seen your film. It
is quite brilliant

1428
01:37:37,271 --> 01:37:41,141
and it hasn't seen Mr. Ray's. So
if the jury decides that

1429
01:37:41,192 --> 01:37:42,612
your film is better than his...

1430
01:37:44,884 --> 01:37:48,743
It might upset him knowing your rivalry

1431
01:37:49,604 --> 01:37:50,623
and in this state

1432
01:37:51,484 --> 01:37:53,304
anything which upsets him

1433
01:37:54,304 --> 01:37:55,663
might not be advisable.

1434
01:37:56,163 --> 01:37:57,583
Hmm okay.

1435
01:37:58,923 --> 01:38:00,163
So what do you want me to do?

1436
01:38:00,344 --> 01:38:03,604
Please please please let us show your film
in the

1437
01:38:03,644 --> 01:38:07,384
non-competitive section. I know Venice
and Berlin will be

1438
01:38:07,444 --> 01:38:11,373
after your life for the film
and the chances are you will get

1439
01:38:11,404 --> 01:38:12,764
the highest prize there.

1440
01:38:14,304 --> 01:38:17,684
But as a friend I can only request. But

1441
01:38:18,724 --> 01:38:22,423
I know you understand this little
sentiment thing with Mr. Ray's film.

1442
01:38:22,644 --> 01:38:26,224
Oh you don't have to explain the little
sentiment thing with Mr. Ray to me.

1443
01:38:26,543 --> 01:38:30,524
For all our differences and squabbles
and taking digs at one another I

1444
01:38:30,564 --> 01:38:34,344
admire him and can't deny him the giant
like stature he has achieved

1445
01:38:34,463 --> 01:38:35,304
in world cinema.

1446
01:38:36,823 --> 01:38:39,724
After all we all owe a lot to Pathar
Pradaboli.

1447
01:38:40,423 --> 01:38:42,764
So can I confirm The Ruins participation?

1448
01:38:43,543 --> 01:38:44,783
Yes my friend you can.

1449
01:38:45,283 --> 01:38:48,564
Thanks. Thank you so much.
Will call again.

1450
01:38:59,564 --> 01:39:03,184
Okay, one day it won't be autobiographical.

1451
01:39:03,283 --> 01:39:03,604
So?

1452
01:39:06,264 --> 01:39:07,963
Are you talking about the love thing with that student?

1453
01:39:09,163 --> 01:39:12,404
I don't know, dad. Just let me know in advance.

1454
01:39:12,884 --> 01:39:16,724
I will finish packing. Then one day, Ahana
God.

1455
01:39:16,844 --> 01:39:17,333
will happen.

1456
01:39:17,363 --> 01:39:21,083
[Laughter] That's my central crisis

1457
01:39:21,304 --> 01:39:23,184
It happened.

1458
01:39:24,564 --> 01:39:27,663
Oh, you know, talk to Joya about this.

1459
01:39:27,684 --> 01:39:30,783
So. Isn't today the first?

1460
01:39:30,863 --> 01:39:32,123
Hmm.

1461
01:39:32,243 --> 01:39:33,543
Today, four years later

1462
01:39:34,604 --> 01:39:38,484
Manikda is returning to the shooting floor again.

1463
01:39:39,764 --> 01:39:43,604
I knew you would return. I know that one.

1464
01:39:43,644 --> 01:39:47,184
That person. Such energetic, lively energy

1465
01:39:48,024 --> 01:39:51,184
It's not possible to keep away from work. Four years ago
I remember

1466
01:39:51,243 --> 01:39:54,944
Despite the doctor's hundred warnings, that...

1467
01:39:55,024 --> 01:39:58,894
Went to finish shooting in Chakdaha.
In a Mercedes.

1468
01:39:58,894 --> 01:40:02,884
went so that the shaking is less. heart
condition's

1469
01:40:02,904 --> 01:40:05,363
You will not be able to break the stairs for the sake of.

1470
01:40:06,404 --> 01:40:10,003
He had taken the chair up with a lift.
What

1471
01:40:10,064 --> 01:40:11,344
Unstoppable life force!

1472
01:40:12,444 --> 01:40:13,904
What dedication to work!

1473
01:40:14,944 --> 01:40:17,804
Above all, a fighting spirit and

1474
01:40:17,863 --> 01:40:20,524
Determination. Truly undefeated.

1475
01:40:21,623 --> 01:40:25,613
But the body is not well at all. So the studio's

1476
01:40:25,684 --> 01:40:27,463
There will be special arrangements outside.

1477
01:40:29,583 --> 01:40:29,832
Hmm.

1478
01:40:33,663 --> 01:40:37,743
[Music]

1479
01:41:37,404 --> 01:41:41,304
Okay okay. Let's go, Gabo brother. Tumdar

1480
01:41:41,804 --> 01:41:43,173
ready? Let's go.

1481
01:41:44,484 --> 01:41:46,583
Okay going for take.

1482
01:41:51,724 --> 01:41:53,363
Roll sound. Ready.

1483
01:41:54,423 --> 01:41:55,783
Roll camera. Rolling.

1484
01:41:57,844 --> 01:41:59,203
And action.

1485
01:42:05,043 --> 01:42:08,823
Do you consider yourself a Hindu?

1486
01:42:08,863 --> 01:42:09,064
What are you doing?

1487
01:42:18,144 --> 01:42:29,844
This time

1488
01:42:29,884 --> 01:42:32,064
Grandpa will give a break.

1489
01:42:32,823 --> 01:42:34,363
I will never come again.

1490
01:42:34,404 --> 01:42:37,684
Cut it. An excellent shot and this
is a film wrap.

1491
01:42:39,283 --> 01:42:42,463
[Clap] Everything I had to say

1492
01:42:43,623 --> 01:42:47,123
Everything has come to an end. I have no more

1493
01:42:47,283 --> 01:42:49,363
Nothing to say.

1494
01:42:54,524 --> 01:42:58,123
How are you now? What is the doctor saying?
He will say the same thing again.

1495
01:42:58,163 --> 01:43:00,583
Keep the conversation under close observation.

1496
01:43:00,604 --> 01:43:04,444
Is the post-production work finished?

1497
01:43:04,463 --> 01:43:08,064
Is it done? No, re-recording is still pending. I

1498
01:43:08,104 --> 01:43:11,984
I am thinking about going to Bombay with someone. So
what's your plan?

1499
01:43:12,064 --> 01:43:15,823
What are you doing, Mrinal?
Oh by the way, I am your great universe.

1500
01:43:15,923 --> 01:43:19,783
I saw it. But I didn't really like it that much.
[laughs] That's right.

1501
01:43:19,823 --> 01:43:23,123
There is. I generally don't like any of your work.

1502
01:43:23,163 --> 01:43:26,684
No. From that sky flower to statesman, what
quarrel

1503
01:43:26,703 --> 01:43:30,663
What did you do? [laughs] No, no, why? It's just a person made of clay.

1504
01:43:30,703 --> 01:43:34,184
I really liked it. And the Okauari thing that
was brilliant.

1505
01:43:34,463 --> 01:43:38,444
Although it didn't feel good at first in the month of Shravan,
later

1506
01:43:38,463 --> 01:43:42,404
But I quite liked it. However, Akashkusum
what a

1507
01:43:42,484 --> 01:43:44,724
pity this squabble came to an end Mrinal.

1508
01:43:45,123 --> 01:43:45,323
Well

1509
01:43:46,404 --> 01:43:49,904
Truth attains a quality only
when it becomes controversial.

1510
01:43:50,463 --> 01:43:53,944
Why did you stop?
But there are more letters in my bag.

1511
01:43:54,003 --> 01:43:54,623
was.

1512
01:43:54,724 --> 01:43:58,543
I had it too. The track was full of answers. But
you...

1513
01:43:58,604 --> 01:44:00,404
Much smarter than me.

1514
01:44:02,043 --> 01:44:05,444
I don't know if it's very smart. But I can understand this much

1515
01:44:05,524 --> 01:44:09,243
I can post sixty five my film your

1516
01:44:09,264 --> 01:44:10,404
Did not feel particularly good.

1517
01:44:10,503 --> 01:44:13,913
Except for some exceptions

1518
01:44:14,524 --> 01:44:17,524
I didn't like it. But
that doesn't take away anything from the

1519
01:44:17,583 --> 01:44:17,944
fact

1520
01:44:18,404 --> 01:44:22,323
that you are our renaissance man.
Bhuban Som
Surely you remember the tribute.

1521
01:44:22,333 --> 01:44:22,463
It's there.

1522
01:44:22,503 --> 01:44:26,363
I remember the cover of Chaplin's book. Surely you do too.

1523
01:44:26,384 --> 01:44:27,104
I remember.

1524
01:44:27,184 --> 01:44:30,634
Yes, yes, yes. But you didn't take anything for it.

1525
01:44:30,644 --> 01:44:32,583
I remember that too.

1526
01:44:32,623 --> 01:44:34,163
You treated me to such a wonderful cup of tea.

1527
01:44:34,203 --> 01:44:38,184
What's the matter, Mrinal?

1528
01:44:38,743 --> 01:44:41,024
Are you lighting a cigarette with your own match?

1529
01:44:41,764 --> 01:44:45,463
Hmm. Sometimes I do.

1530
01:44:48,064 --> 01:44:48,863
Alright, Manik Babu,

1531
01:44:50,682 --> 01:44:53,203
do you ever think about death?

1532
01:44:54,804 --> 01:44:57,823
Yes. Death gives a strange perspective.

1533
01:44:57,923 --> 01:44:59,283
It does.

1534
01:44:59,323 --> 01:45:01,844
Hmm. Do you remember

1535
01:45:03,524 --> 01:45:07,083
we went to the cremation ground with Rishiraj. Some

1536
01:45:07,123 --> 01:45:10,963
kids were shouting and swearing a lot. They said

1537
01:45:10,974 --> 01:45:14,203
we were responsible for his death.

1538
01:45:15,224 --> 01:45:17,724
This too is a perspective gained from death.

1539
01:45:17,804 --> 01:45:19,423
perspective.

1540
01:45:19,463 --> 01:45:23,264
Can you imagine, just imagine Mrinal, for this Rishiraj

1541
01:45:23,283 --> 01:45:23,804
we,

1542
01:45:24,984 --> 01:45:26,743
look I must say

1543
01:45:27,644 --> 01:45:28,764
he was something else.

1544
01:45:28,823 --> 01:45:29,863
Yes, that he was

1545
01:45:30,783 --> 01:45:34,283
an absolute maverick. You know what, Manik Babu?

1546
01:45:35,344 --> 01:45:39,144
I still feel like coming to you

1547
01:45:40,123 --> 01:45:43,623
to chat, to argue, to

1548
01:45:43,644 --> 01:45:46,144
clarify various issues through arguments. But you are

1549
01:45:47,444 --> 01:45:50,884
confined within a circle. Even if I want to, I can't come there

1550
01:45:50,923 --> 01:45:51,604
anymore.

1551
01:45:51,644 --> 01:45:54,224
I don't know. I understand.

1552
01:45:54,283 --> 01:45:57,804
Tell me honestly. This

1553
01:45:58,923 --> 01:46:02,804
so much, for so long, among so many people

1554
01:46:04,503 --> 01:46:06,184
don't you feel lonely?

1555
01:46:09,564 --> 01:46:10,644
Terribly.

1556
01:46:11,984 --> 01:46:14,743
I feel terribly lonely.

1557
01:46:16,064 --> 01:46:18,564
It feels very much so.

1558
01:46:20,024 --> 01:46:20,423
Anyway

1559
01:46:21,304 --> 01:46:23,583
now have tea, have tea.

1560
01:46:30,823 --> 01:47:10,724
With whom

1561
01:47:10,764 --> 01:47:11,823
will I chat now?

1562
01:47:14,363 --> 01:47:15,644
With whom will I argue?

1563
01:47:22,764 --> 01:47:26,323
So my next question is on Padatik. Do you think

1564
01:47:26,783 --> 01:47:30,104
Padatik is the most introspective of your political films?

1565
01:47:31,043 --> 01:47:34,484
Some people even say that you betrayed the leftist cause

1566
01:47:34,503 --> 01:47:35,024
when you made a

1567
01:47:35,064 --> 01:47:35,823
film like this.

1568
01:47:36,644 --> 01:47:37,463
What do you think?

1569
01:47:40,384 --> 01:47:40,783
I

1570
01:47:42,904 --> 01:47:43,764
when I made

1571
01:47:49,123 --> 01:47:49,884
which film?

1572
01:47:50,783 --> 01:47:51,463
Padatik.

1573
01:47:51,503 --> 01:47:52,283
Padatik Babu.

1574
01:47:52,344 --> 01:47:53,724
Oh yes

1575
01:47:54,684 --> 01:47:55,623
Padatik.

1576
01:47:56,613 --> 01:47:58,323
When I made

1577
01:48:00,163 --> 01:48:00,304
I

1578
01:48:02,203 --> 01:48:04,623
wanted to.

1579
01:48:06,382 --> 01:48:07,783
Yes sir.

1580
01:48:10,163 --> 01:48:10,344
I

1581
01:48:11,844 --> 01:48:14,144
wanted to make a film

1582
01:48:15,604 --> 01:48:15,884
which,

1583
01:48:20,764 --> 01:48:21,904
what was your question?

1584
01:48:22,184 --> 01:48:24,384
Sorry, I don't think he's feeling too well.

1585
01:48:24,503 --> 01:48:26,003
Can you email us the questions?

1586
01:48:26,184 --> 01:48:26,764
We'll get back to you.

1587
01:48:26,773 --> 01:48:27,404
Sure, sure I'll do that.

1588
01:48:27,743 --> 01:48:29,024
That'll be great. Thank you.

1589
01:48:40,224 --> 01:48:40,484
Hey

1590
01:48:41,404 --> 01:48:42,484
there's an earthquake.

1591
01:48:43,344 --> 01:48:43,354
Earthquake?

1592
01:48:43,363 --> 01:48:44,304
Yes.

1593
01:48:46,644 --> 01:48:49,264
Hey, get under the table.

1594
01:48:51,623 --> 01:48:51,884
Dad

1595
01:48:52,684 --> 01:48:53,404
are you alright?

1596
01:48:54,323 --> 01:48:57,764
Come, come.

1597
01:49:02,703 --> 01:49:04,644
Hey let me, let me give you my email.

1598
01:49:04,703 --> 01:49:05,484
Oh sure.

1599
01:49:07,524 --> 01:49:08,163
Sorry.

1600
01:49:08,234 --> 01:49:11,003
No, no, no, no, it's totally fine, sir. Just fine.

1601
01:49:11,123 --> 01:49:11,484
There you go.

1602
01:49:12,363 --> 01:49:12,724
Thank you.

1603
01:49:13,104 --> 01:49:13,884
Nice to meet you.

1604
01:49:14,104 --> 01:49:14,423
Yes pleasure.

1605
01:49:14,884 --> 01:49:15,484
Let me show you out.

1606
01:49:15,684 --> 01:49:17,304
Yes, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

1607
01:49:17,384 --> 01:49:19,804
Let's go.

1608
01:49:23,304 --> 01:49:23,743
Thank you.

1609
01:49:24,144 --> 01:49:36,113
Bye.

1610
01:49:36,113 --> 01:49:37,904
Babu. Thank you.

1611
01:49:40,363 --> 01:49:40,963
For what?

1612
01:49:44,484 --> 01:49:44,863
My

1613
01:49:45,863 --> 01:49:47,224
I think my head is not

1614
01:49:48,384 --> 01:49:49,314
working anymore.

1615
01:49:50,975 --> 01:49:51,916
How embarrassing!

1616
01:49:52,815 --> 01:49:54,216
Father.

1617
01:49:54,275 --> 01:49:54,975
I think

1618
01:49:56,136 --> 01:49:57,716
it's time to go.

1619
01:49:57,796 --> 01:49:58,895
What nonsense are you talking about?

1620
01:50:00,756 --> 01:50:01,036
Listen,

1621
01:50:02,416 --> 01:50:06,055
write the answers calmly. Then

1622
01:50:06,115 --> 01:50:08,735
with the help of the teleprompter, we will make
it work.

1623
01:50:08,775 --> 01:50:10,315
Father.

1624
01:50:10,855 --> 01:50:11,256
Listen,

1625
01:50:13,256 --> 01:50:17,055
don't go telling your mother these things again.

1626
01:50:17,136 --> 01:50:21,036
If your mother hears about Mrinal Sen's condition,

1627
01:50:21,055 --> 01:50:24,176
she will be very upset.

1628
01:50:26,576 --> 01:50:26,935
Father!

1629
01:50:31,155 --> 01:50:31,576
Mother,

1630
01:50:33,055 --> 01:50:36,176
Mother is not here, Father.

1631
01:50:36,256 --> 01:50:36,935
What do you mean not here?

1632
01:50:38,815 --> 01:50:39,095
I mean,

1633
01:50:42,695 --> 01:50:44,256
Mother, Mother has passed away.

1634
01:50:44,296 --> 01:50:44,855
Where has she gone?

1635
01:50:46,076 --> 01:50:46,605
To the next flat-

1636
01:50:47,036 --> 01:50:50,655
Mother, Mother has died, Father.

1637
01:50:57,155 --> 01:50:57,735
Oh

1638
01:50:59,395 --> 01:50:59,836
Yes,

1639
01:51:01,115 --> 01:51:30,416
Yes.

1640
01:51:32,416 --> 01:51:38,695
Alright.

1641
01:51:38,735 --> 01:51:42,036
As Godard said, cinema
is the most beautiful fraud in the world.

1642
01:51:42,355 --> 01:51:43,855
What is your opinion on this?

1643
01:51:43,895 --> 01:51:46,636
It's certainly beautiful. But fraud means

1644
01:51:46,676 --> 01:51:50,536
false. What we actually consider as moving images are actually

1645
01:51:50,555 --> 01:51:54,395
not moving. A still image means that which

1646
01:51:54,416 --> 01:51:58,336
our eyes can retain for one sixteenth of a second,

1647
01:51:58,655 --> 01:52:02,595
can perceive. Then if another still image comes, like this one after another

1648
01:52:02,636 --> 01:52:06,416
some still images come, then our brain and

1649
01:52:06,536 --> 01:52:10,036
eyes together create an illusion. Only then

1650
01:52:10,155 --> 01:52:12,996
does the scene appear to be moving. That means

1651
01:52:13,555 --> 01:52:17,456
by definition, one foot of cinema is in reality and the other

1652
01:52:17,496 --> 01:52:19,155
in fantasy, that is,

1653
01:52:19,216 --> 01:52:23,315
in illusion.

1654
01:52:30,935 --> 01:52:33,836
Yes. No, I got in two days ago.

1655
01:52:36,136 --> 01:52:37,195
The place is a mess.

1656
01:52:39,615 --> 01:52:40,496
So much stuff.

1657
01:52:42,176 --> 01:52:44,095
Yes, yes. Yes.

1658
01:52:46,136 --> 01:52:47,775
Um, Chicago library.

1659
01:52:50,296 --> 01:52:52,015
Well, to archive and preserve

1660
01:52:52,855 --> 01:52:54,855
these old letters, scripts,

1661
01:52:56,296 --> 01:52:57,695
books, notes.

1662
01:53:00,435 --> 01:53:00,716
Yeah.

1663
01:53:02,836 --> 01:53:03,916
Yeah, today itself.

1664
01:53:06,796 --> 01:53:08,055
Yeah, I know it's sad.

1665
01:53:09,496 --> 01:53:10,496
But it is what it is.

1666
01:53:13,155 --> 01:53:13,355
Yeah.

1667
01:53:14,576 --> 01:53:14,796
Okay.

1668
01:53:16,235 --> 01:53:17,076
Thank you. Bye.

1669
01:53:48,935 --> 01:54:06,355
Ladies

1670
01:54:06,395 --> 01:54:09,235
and gentlemen,
exactly hundred years ago this

1671
01:54:09,296 --> 01:54:10,155
is the place where the

1672
01:54:10,195 --> 01:54:13,655
Lumiere brothers took the first ever shot
in the history of cinema.

1673
01:54:14,256 --> 01:54:17,555
It was a shot of thirty workers coming out
from a factory shed.

1674
01:54:18,876 --> 01:54:22,655
So to commemorate this event we have
amongst us the world's

1675
01:54:22,695 --> 01:54:26,435
finest thirty filmmakers who will come out
from this makeshift factory

1676
01:54:26,496 --> 01:54:30,336
shed and walk towards the camera
which incidentally will be handled

1677
01:54:30,355 --> 01:54:31,956
by the grandson of Louis

1678
01:54:32,015 --> 01:54:34,515
Lumiere.

1679
01:54:35,336 --> 01:54:39,195
[applause] After this historic walk each
one of you, the

1680
01:54:39,235 --> 01:54:42,836
worthy torchbearer,
the deserving successor of the first man

1681
01:54:42,876 --> 01:54:42,935
of

1682
01:54:43,015 --> 01:54:46,916
cinema will be felicitated by our
honourable minister for culture.

1683
01:54:48,155 --> 01:54:53,655
[applause]

1684
01:54:55,095 --> 01:54:56,095
You walk like a rabbit.

1685
01:54:56,555 --> 01:54:56,836
Well,

1686
01:54:57,655 --> 01:55:00,115
I can walk like this till the crematorium.

1687
01:55:01,015 --> 01:55:01,716
How old are you?

1688
01:55:02,615 --> 01:55:05,576
I am one year younger than what I will be
the next year.

1689
01:55:05,695 --> 01:55:06,845
[laughs] [applause]

1690
01:55:06,845 --> 01:55:09,315
[song]

1691
01:55:16,015 --> 01:55:19,636
If you are alive, believe in the victory of life.

1692
01:55:19,775 --> 01:55:23,756
If there is heaven somewhere, bring it down to earth.

1693
01:55:23,895 --> 01:55:27,395
You are alive.

1694
01:55:28,315 --> 01:55:32,296
These are just four more days of sorrow and four more days of oppression.

1695
01:55:32,395 --> 01:55:35,975
These days will also pass, thousands of days have passed.

1696
01:55:36,115 --> 01:55:40,095
These are just four more days of sorrow and four more days of oppression.

1697
01:55:40,195 --> 01:55:44,136
These days will also pass, thousands of days have passed.

1698
01:55:44,256 --> 01:55:48,055
Someday, even this garden will see the sight of spring.

1699
01:55:48,176 --> 01:55:51,655
If there is heaven somewhere, bring it down to earth.

1700
01:55:51,735 --> 01:55:53,956
You are alive.

1701
01:55:54,644 --> 01:55:58,503
[inspirational tune] If you are alive, believe in the victory of life.

1702
01:55:58,543 --> 01:56:02,423
And if there is heaven somewhere, bring it down to earth.

1703
01:56:02,623 --> 01:56:06,144
You are alive. [inspirational tune] The fire of the stomach is bad, the scars of the heart are bad.

1704
01:56:06,203 --> 01:56:09,423
They cannot be suppressed, one day they will become a revolution.

1705
01:56:09,543 --> 01:56:13,213
The fire of the stomach is bad, the scars of the heart are bad.

1706
01:56:13,224 --> 01:56:16,764
They cannot be suppressed, one day they will become a revolution.

1707
01:56:16,904 --> 01:56:20,863
The palaces of oppression will fall, new homes will be built again.

1708
01:56:21,003 --> 01:56:24,323
And if there is heaven somewhere, bring it down to earth.

1709
01:56:24,363 --> 01:56:28,064
You are alive. [inspirational tune] If you are alive,

1710
01:56:28,123 --> 01:56:31,644
believe in the victory of life.

1711
01:56:31,764 --> 01:56:35,623
And if there is heaven somewhere, bring it down to earth.

1712
01:56:35,684 --> 01:56:39,654
You are alive. [inspirational tune] If you are alive,

1713
01:56:39,684 --> 01:56:43,363
believe in the victory of life.

1714
01:56:43,963 --> 01:56:47,644
And if there is heaven somewhere,

1715
01:56:47,884 --> 01:56:50,503
bring it down to earth. You are alive.

1716
01:56:50,583 --> 01:56:52,384
You are alive.

1717
01:56:52,404 --> 01:56:52,564
Cut

1718
01:56:52,583 --> 01:57:10,463
it!

1719
01:57:25,234 --> 01:57:28,543
[music] You revolve in the hands of the people like a symbol.

1720
01:57:28,604 --> 01:57:32,484
Become the symbol of demand,

1721
01:57:32,564 --> 01:57:35,024
sway in the hands.

1722
01:57:36,884 --> 01:57:40,173
In the fist of the hand, be the shout of protest.

1723
01:57:42,564 --> 01:57:46,203
Be the eternal resistance in my fate.

1724
01:57:48,423 --> 01:57:51,944
Change as if touched by the sweat of people.

1725
01:57:52,043 --> 01:57:53,203
Let the breath of people remain in your

1726
01:57:54,224 --> 01:57:56,764
air.

1727
01:57:56,823 --> 01:57:59,083
Be the assurance that holds our

1728
01:57:59,944 --> 01:58:02,842
name. Let your smile

1729
01:58:02,944 --> 01:58:06,743
leave a mark in everyone's sky.

1730
01:58:06,764 --> 01:58:09,604
Dance suddenly like a burst of joy

1731
01:58:11,463 --> 01:58:14,064
when it happens. With restless

1732
01:58:14,144 --> 01:58:17,804
feet, run on the path of prohibition.

1733
01:58:17,944 --> 01:58:21,644
When you make a mistake like the hidden joy of the underworld.

1734
01:58:22,963 --> 01:58:26,423
Let a new target come in the courage of people.

1735
01:58:28,743 --> 01:58:31,184
Never stop in the dying pull of satisfaction.

1736
01:58:31,224 --> 01:58:32,984
Pierce through stagnant times singing

1737
01:58:34,384 --> 01:58:37,283
songs.

1738
01:58:37,384 --> 01:58:39,104
When this song ends, move on to the songs of the future.

1739
01:58:40,003 --> 01:58:42,984
Seeing the stationary notes,

1740
01:58:43,123 --> 01:58:44,703
laugh and always erase.

1741
01:58:46,003 --> 01:58:49,083
If the line is smooth, high and low suit you.

1742
01:58:49,184 --> 01:58:53,123
Run as much as you can with impact

1743
01:58:53,163 --> 01:58:57,104
and counter-impact.

1744
01:58:57,384 --> 01:59:00,144
Our enemies sharpen weapons in hiding.

1745
01:59:00,184 --> 01:59:03,484
In the rhythm of speed,

1746
01:59:03,564 --> 01:59:06,083
sharpen your weapons too.

1747
01:59:06,144 --> 01:59:09,663
When there is a drought of clouds, be the messenger of rain.

1748
01:59:09,743 --> 01:59:11,724
Fall like intense love on every chest.

1749
01:59:11,804 --> 01:59:15,783
In your water,

1750
01:59:15,863 --> 01:59:19,484
let life find its way in the Thames.

1751
01:59:20,524 --> 01:59:23,583
Strange. The harvest of labor

1752
01:59:23,663 --> 01:59:24,823
in all human sorrow and

1753
01:59:26,304 --> 01:59:29,123
joy.

1754
01:59:29,184 --> 01:59:32,904
When there is a drought of clouds, be the messenger of rain.

1755
01:59:32,963 --> 01:59:34,564
Fall like intense love on every chest.

1756
01:59:34,663 --> 01:59:38,283
In your water,

1757
01:59:38,344 --> 01:59:40,583
let life find its way in the Thames.

1758
01:59:40,724 --> 01:59:42,463
Strange. The harvest of labor

1759
01:59:43,604 --> 01:59:47,524
in all human sorrow and

1760
01:59:49,344 --> 01:59:52,184
joy.

1761
01:59:52,243 --> 01:59:54,243
in the heart.

1762
01:59:55,144 --> 01:59:57,503
In your water, life seems to thrive.

1763
01:59:57,724 --> 02:00:01,304
Strange. The fruits of labor.

1764
