The Eken: Ruddhaswas Rajasthan

Take a look.

It's the original.

Hey, get the bag.

Here's one crore.

- Give Babu Saab my regards. - Sure.

Bye.

- Did you get the money? - Yes, 20 lakhs.

Twenty lakhs? Give it to me.

I'll give you 10 lakhs.

Leave Jaisalmer immediately.

Don't try to act smart. Give me my share.

- What-- - I'll get off at Ramgarh.

- Have to count the money. - Do that later.

- Pay me or I'll expose you. - Stop it. We're at the border.

Barun, start the car. I'll give you your money.

- Barun, drive. - Pay me first.

Let's get out of here.

- Okay. Move it. - Hurry up, Barun.

I'm warning you! I'll expose you all.

Don't worry. You'll get your money.

- Want your share, right? - Yes, give it to me.

Here you go!

Barun!

Barun, get him!

I... I'll tell everyone...

Go ahead, bloody bastard!

Hello.

Babu Saab wants to know if the job's done.

It's done. Where to dump the body?

Come to Gamnewala.

Okay, fine. Bye.

Give me a hand.

Come on.

- Sayan has sent a car for us. - Great!

Car number 8905.

There it is.

Put it in.

Okay, I'll do it.

- Greetings! - Greetings!

- What's your name? Hey! Hey! - Umed Singh, sir.

- I got it right! - There he goes again!

What are you reading on your phone?

Thanks to the internet

learning a new language is easy.

- There he goes again! - Eken Babu.

Is it necessary to say "hey" twice?

I've just started learning.

We must pick up a few words of the local language.

You're in Jodhpur.

Suppose, you want to know Bapi's name.

Just say, "Bapi, what's your name? Hey! Hey!"

Should I call him by his name?

No, don't call him Bapi.

Just say, "What's your name? Hay!"

No, not "hay".

"What's your name? Hey! Hey!"

Please stop it. Enough now.

Bapi, what's the plan?

The plan is...

Jodhpur to Jaisalmer.

- Stay at Sayan's place. - Okay.

Then sightseeing.

- And a night in the desert camp. - Lovely!

Where first in Jodhpur?

- A place of pilgrimage for Bengalis. - In Jodhpur?

Jodhpur Circuit House. From the film, "The Golden Fortress".

Really? It's been a lifelong dream.

Can't believe it!

Here we are.

Wow!

- It looks the same, isn't it? - Yes.

What's so special about it?

Eminent filmmaker, Satyajit Ray, shot a film here.

I see.

Bapi sir, I've got goosebumps.

Come on.

Sir.

- The famous spot. - Yes.

- Mandar Bose was sitting here. - Right.

- Here or there? - Oh no!

Come on.

- Where are you going? - What's the rush?

- Stop. - What happened?

What a photo! Let's go.

You know where we are right now?

No. Where?

See.

Oh my God!

Ramdevra?

Calls for another cup of tea.

THE EKEN

THE EKEN BREATHLESS IN RAJASTHAN

Turn up the fan.

- What do you think? - Beautiful!

It's a Rajput painting, isn't it?

Yes.

Nihal Chand is a pioneer in Rajput painting.

This is a replica.

It's called "Bani Thani" or the bride of Rajasthan.

The bride of Rajasthan has a sweet name, you know?

No idea.

"Dessert" Queen.

Desert and dessert. Get it?

- Breakfast is ready. - Please come.

- Why did you take the trouble? - Oh, come on!

We're so lucky to have Eken Babu as our guest.

What's this?

- Is it made from camel milk? - Just try it.

- What pickle is it? - It's garlic pickle.

- Garlic? - Yes.

I've never had it. But I love it.

There he goes again!

The potatoes taste great!

- Just have it. - I am.

Eken Babu is really excited to try Rajasthani cuisine.

Want to try a smack?

"Shahi gatte" is a lip-smacking dish.

"Dal baati churmur" is also a famous dish.

- "Churmur?" - It's "dal baati churma".

Oh! "Churma."

You're too funny.

Hold on.

I have to take photos of the food.

- I'll send them to Khuku. - Khuku...

- Your wife? - Yes.

Why didn't you bring her along?

She couldn't make it because of her busy schedule.

I see.

- Do you have non-veg food here? - Of course, we do.

There's "laal maas" and "mohan maas".

Just wait and watch.

You'll put on weight by the end of your trip.

- I'll take some from Bapi-- - No.

- I'll get you more. - Yes, please.

Okay.

After breakfast we'll go to the Golden Fort.

Where's the Jain temple?

- That way. - Thank you.

Here's the Golden Fort.

The Golden Fort!

Where is Eken Babu?

He's hit it off with Sayan.

Heard his lies?

- About his wife? - What else?

Apparently, she's too busy.

Such a cheapskate!

We've never met his wife.

Does she even exist?

Hey, what nonsense!

God knows! Never seen her.

Oh my God!

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

Not only you. We're uneasy too.

Why? I feel like Rajput royalty.

- Welcome to our land - Welcome to our land

Bapi, take a photo.

- ...lose yourself - ...lose yourself

- Done? - Yes.

Give him 50 bucks.

- Welcome to our land - Welcome to our land

- Find your way and lose yourself - Find your way and lose yourself

Thank you.

What's your name? Hey! Hey!

Why the hell should I tell you?

Weirdo!

Had enough?

Sorry.

- Welcome to our land - Welcome to our land

Find your way and lose yourself

- The lyrics don't make any sense. - Why?

How can one do it at the same time?

Wow! What a majestic fort!

Yes. Alauddin Khilji once seized the fort.

- And there's the great Thar desert. - Yes.

Time to bring out the dry jokes.

- He's so funny. - Stop it or your jokes will kill us.

The fort is on top of the Trikuta Hill.

- People still live in the fort, right? - Yeah.

Everyone in Jaisalmer used to live in the fort.

- They still do. - Only a few.

What's that?

- What? - That temple.

- Whose temple is it? - Goddess Chamunda.

Also known as Devi Mata. There used be animal sacrifices.

The steps are interesting.

A strange design.

Who built the Golden Fort, sir?

Please don't call me sir, Eken Babu.

- He calls everyone sir. - He calls everyone sir.

I'll tell you the story.

The fort was built by Rawal Jaisal.

- Rawal? - It's a title used for kings.

Jaisal built the fort in 1155.

- Look at the design. - There's a Jain temple too.

Next, I'll show you Mukul's house.

- Is it still there? - In ruins.

He's here.

Grey jacket, black jeans, cap and sunglasses.

He's wearing a muffler.

Take care of him.
