Yes?

- Greetings. - Greetings.

My name is Dibakar.

I am here from the Astronomical part of the science centre.

Yes, tell me?

Actually, next week we are presenting an exhibit on Indian science history..

..and would like to display some work of Prof Mitra.

Can I get something written to make part of the exhibit..

Look I only have a few files, other than..

If you don't mind, can I see those files?

Are all these books yours?

No, no. These are all my father's books.

I hate reading.

- Professor Mitra was your.. - He was my father.

Here you go.

Thank God, I'm not a scientist.

So, what do you do?

Actually, quite the opposite.

I am an artist.

A scientist is also an artist.

Yes, you're right.

After all we're also creators.

Yes.

You take a look at these files while I prepare tea.

- Thank you. - Okay.

The tea is ready in 2 minutes.

Actually, some other time as I have to leave.

I will take this and drop it back next week?

Okay then, when you come back then we will sit.

Sure. Thank you.

Your welcome.

That's my dad!

When was this taken?

Right before he left.

This is his last photo.

Eat some food.

If you don't eat how will you be okay.

Only two of you survived.

You're lucky.

Who is the other one?

Help me..

Help me..

Help me..

Get back!

Get back!

- Relax. - Relax?

I don't have time to relax.

Don't do this. Let her go.

I can't let her go.

- Look, we can talk. - Is it?

There's nothing to talk. Move away.

Just stay there.

Who are you?

Now that's a nice question.

Keep guessing. Darling..

Wait.

Wardboy.

Where's the security? Security.

They were here a minute ago.

Follow that ambulance.

Come on. Hurry up.

Be quick. Come on.

Take left. He is taking left.

Hurry up.

Fast!

Keep the change.

Move.

Yes, tell me.

The police is on high alert.

He will captive soon.

Okay, listen. I have talked to Dr. Bishwa in Kolkata Science Centre.

He tells so much stories.

But you will get all the information about Project A.

To understand project A we will have to go back to 263 BC.

Emperor Ashoka, after seeing many dead bodies after the Kalinga war.

He realized that science, politics..

..and technology was being misused in war.

That is why he picked..

..the 9 most knowledgeable people from the world of..

..politics, warfare and science and created a secret society.

Their knowledge was divided into 9 different books.

And it was decided that these books..

..would always remain a secret so that this knowledge..

..doesn't get into the wrong hands.

Of the 9 books the first book..

..was about propaganda and phycological warfare.

The most dangerous..

How to influence the thought process of people to rule them.

Today as well..

..through media and press this method is used to rule over people.

The second book..

..was about how you can kill a man just by touching him.

They say some pages of this book were leaked into the hands of people..

..and this is how martial arts was born.

The 3rd book, was about all sorts of communications.

Communications with people from within earth and beyond this earth as well.

Yes, in fact in one of the books there were instructions on how to make a UFO.

You can name them as UFO or Flying Saucer.

The kinds that are being spotted numerous times around the world today.

The nine books spoke about nine different topics.

And one of them was about time travel.

- Time travel? - Yes.

You're right. Time travel.

During excavations the British found some pages of this book..

..and brought together a group of scientists to further research on them.

This research drug was named Project Ashoka.

In fact, in short Project A.

But nothing really came out of this project..

..and many years ago it was shut down.

is time travel possible?

Only in books.

To travel time, man needs to move at the speed of light.

And the amount of energy needed to do that is not available on this planet.

1 trillion electrowatts, can you imagine?

This is just a waste of time.

Professor Biswajit Mitra, how was he connected to Project A?

He used to work here for sure. But never shared a lot with anyone.

However, Professor Das can tell you more about him.

- You mean professor Shubrato Das? - Yes.

Professor of physics?

Not physics, quantum physics, the study of space time.

Das assisted Prof Mitra for a few years..

..and was also a close confidant to him.

Professor!

You lied to me Professor Das.

Yes.

If I spoke truth, you wouldn't believe it.

How was Professor Mitra connected with Project A?

Professor Mitra's father Dr. Debochandra Mitra was a part of Project A.

After Indian independence the government stopped the funding..

..and this group got dissolved.

But Dr. Mitra continued his research independently.

After him, his son BC Mitra..

..continued his research and finally broke the code.

- Broke the code? - Yes.

You mean he made a time machine?

No, he found it.

Professor, I don't have time for this nonsense.

I know 35 years ago he hijacked this flight.

I also know that this hijacking is being staged like a time travel.

And they got this idea from this Project A.

I just want to know..

..that why is it being staged like this?

Shantanu, it's not being staged.

This is time travel.

I can explain.

Come! Come, please sit. Shantanu, sit.

Many scientists including Einstein have proven..

..that time and space are the same thing.

Space time is like this piece of paper.

But it is not empty.

Look, the earth is not hanging in mid air.

But is set on this time space.

Lets take for instance that this paper is a piece of time space.

Then this is past and that is future.

Because of earth's rotation and revolution..

..there are folds that have been created around this time space.

Like this.

Now to get from this past to this future we have two ways.

One from here, like we all travel through time daily.

And the other one.. Allow me. One minute.

Like this.

Look, the space time around our earth..

..has many folds like this.

And many holes like this exist between them.

That can take us to the future or past in very little time.

We call these wormholes.

To put it differently, these are doorways..

..through which we can travel through time.

The pages that the British found during excavation..

..had some incomplete formulas on them.

If they are solved, we would find some readings.

With the help of these readings and a topo sheet..

..the exact location of these worm holes can be determined.

Project A was looking for these doors.

And Mitra solved the formula..

..and broke the code of Time travel.

- Fascinating. - Yes.

This is not the answer to my question professor.

I'm coming to that.

Look, Professor Mitra was a genius person.

And also very lucky.

He inherited everything from his father.

Everything.

Money, fame, and also Project A.

Project A was the only goal in his life.

He used to be stuck in his formulas all day.

Nothing else mattered to him, including his family.

He was a crazy man.

They say Mitra had a brain of gold and heart of stone.

He worked day and night to complete this formula.

He struggled a lot but only got disappointment on his hands.

That day when I went to meet professor Mitra..

..he was going crazy with excitement.

He had broken the code.

- And was convinced he could time travel now. - 'I did it.'

'Oh, my God! I did it.'

'Das, I did it. I broke the code.'

'Yes, I broke the code.'

'It's time for celebration. Don't stand here like morons.'

'Das, I can do anything now.'

'I can do anything now.'

'Thank you very much.'

'Oh, my darling..'

'I am conqueror. A great conqueror.'

'Look at this. Das, look at this.'

But he needed a plane for the experiment.

Prof Mitra and myself were supposed to fly to Madras for a conference.

And he decided to use that very plane for his experiment.

He wanted to make big impact.

For Prof Mitra this was not a problem.

Apart from being communist minded, he was also a member of ABA.

Within ABA, aside from Doctors and scientists..

..there were also people like Partho Mojumdar..

..and he is the one who provided men to Professor Mitra..

..for the highjacking of JL 50.

Because I knew that this flight..

..was going to be highjacked I got really scared..

..and therefore didn't board the flight.

So you knew that this plane was going to be missing for 35 years.

No! No! No!

According to his calculations..

..the plane was supposed to return in 35 hours.

He misread his own calculations..

..and it returned after 35 years instead.

Professor, your story is really interesting..

..but it is just a story.

I know it is very difficult to believe.

At first I didn't believe it either.

In fact for last 35 years I have been thinking that this experiment was a lie.

But then when you came to meet me I was shocked.

I visited the crash site as well to confirm..

..that you are not lying to me.

I still did not believe it.

So I followed you to the hospital.

And Shantanu when I saw Prof Mitra lying on that bed with my own eyes..

..I was flabbergasted and in shock.

Oh, my God!

He looked exactly the same as he was 35 years ago.

If this is not time travel then what is it?

So you mean that the person on the hospital bed is Prof Mitra?

Yes. Absolutely!

Professor Das, without permission from me you cannot leave this city.

- Got it? - Yes.

Shantanu!

Professor Mitra came here last night to meet me..

..after running away from the hospital.

'Sir!'

'I have finally realized the dream that I saw so many years ago.'

'I can't tell you how happy I am today.'

'I feel like the most powerful man on earth.'

'Sir, a lot of innocent people lost their lives on that plane.'

'Hey, I could have lost mine as well.'

'Das, I could have lost mine as well.'

'Sacrifices for the greater good.'

'But that pilot woman has to die as she knows the way to the wormhole.'

'Sir, you can't just kill someone.'

'I can do anything now, Das.'

'I will come to see you again..'

'..but I have to go meet Partho Mojumdar first.'

- 'Bye. - But sir.'

'Partho Mojumdar is in jail.'

'He will be released in 3 days.'

'I have read the newspaper, Das.'

Shantanu, it is extremely important that Prof Mitra is caught.

In the next 48 hours Partho Mojumdar will be released..

..and if the two of them meet..

..you can't even imagine what will happen.

You only have 48 hours..

..to catch Prof Mitra and that is impossible.

It's impossible.

Impossible.

But there is one way out..

..we can go to 1984 ourselves..

..and stop them both..

..and if we do that..

..then JL50 would never crash.

AO26 would never get highjacked.

ABA would be finished even before it starts.

And this knowledge would be safe from getting in the wrong hands.

You don't believe me.

Yes.

You don't believe me, Shanatanu.

Look, if something like this was to happen in America..

..it would be a phenomena.

There would be researches on possibility theories.

But If it happens in India it is just a story isn't it?

You know Shantanu, what the problem with our country is?

In our country..

..we just never try to get beyond..

..Hindu, Muslim, Temple, Mosque, Politics and blind faith.

If we see something in the sky..

..we just fold our hands in front of it and call it God.

But we never try to ask questions like why what and how.

Never.

Shantanu, why don't you believe it?

Prof Mitra looks exactly the same as he did 35 years ago.

If that this in not time travel, then what is it?

Okay.

Can you prove that this in not time travel?

Can you prove that this is time travel?

Yes, I can.

I need 1 hour from your 48 hours.

Please, Shantanu.

He's on the line with us.

'Rajeev, tell me what is the situation?'

'Barkha, there is no official statement from the home minister.'

'But it for sure that in next 48 years..'

'..the government will have to free Partho Mojumdar.'
