Hemanta

Hirak... what you've written makes sense …

… But we can't print this.

There's no evidence against them …

… They are political leaders for God's sake!

- Have you read the full thing? - Yes.

Mrinmoy cant we print it without naming anyone?

How? Have I ever rejected Hirak's articles before?

All I'm asking for is some shred of evidence.

These are very serious charges …

… Against some very important people in this city.

Hirak's source at the police can't be named.

Our sources at the HQ!

Will anyone believe that?

Hirak? Are you listening?

Yea …

You give me the Shingur story.

Again the same sms.

This is the 6th time.

Listen …

This message is not for thee

So hurry and just send

Because my spirit in Kolkata

Cannot find a peaceful end

As heir to my Kingdom of Agradoot

My murder shall be avenged

By thy childhood friend.

Same unknown number.

Agradoot … the movie guys?

Yep.

- Agradoot Pictures. - How do you know?

Childhood friend means Hemanta

His father was the owner of the company

Committed suicide 3 years ago

Can't think of any other explanation!

Done what I told you?

Did you trace the number?

Forward this message …

Rather give your phone.

And forget my work?

But you're supposed to spend the night at my place.

Ya. But I have to file a story

Will do that and then come.

Will you? Or go off to Shingur for another story?

I'll come

Ok

Am ordering Chinese tonight.

Tell me

Yea Hirak. Can hear you. Tell me.

Am coming tomorrow.

Via Dubai

Via Dubai!!!

No I haven't called mom. I'll call her from the airport.

Ya. She'll be fine

But listen, I can't understand these messages

Who is sending them? What they mean?

Some crazy asshole playing games?

No no … Hello? Hello Hirak?

Hey Marcus.

Tell me man.

I hear you Marcus … I hear you.

Marcus I know

Just hear me out.

I know what it means for you for me …

… To get to direct a season of Psychopath.

I know that actors like Jim Caviezel and Woody Harrelson …

… Are not going to wait for me to come from India.

But I gotta go.

There's something really important happening out there…

Screw you Marcus I ain't doping.

Hello? Hello?

Time will tell time bears fruit

There's something rotten in the state of Agradoot

Hurry home my son …

… Before it's late

It's only at home your destiny awaits

The Artist's job is to play the role

Thy role is defined by thy goal

Prepare thyself with …

Prepare thyself with deep concern

Trust your childhood friend and none!

Welcome everyone, welcome!

So how do you feel?

This is my 5th film with Lalit …

4th?

No. 5th.

The 100 days of our film …

Great co-actress …

Most importantly, the audience's love and wishes has …

… Made this into a hit film.

We are indebted to the stars as well as the technicians.

- You Are a Bengali? - Yup.

Why don't you make Bengali films?

Film is a universal medium.

It is our great pride that our film Dhongsho …

… Has fought 3 big budget Bollywood films …

… And is still at number 1 in Bengal.

Look, its commercial film and good commercial film …

Makes the industry healthy.

But we should be careful of dubious producers …

… Money laundering …

The man who literally pulled up Agradoot pictures from …

… Bankruptsy and has given it so much success,

One and only Kalyan Sen …

… And the biggest star of Bengal, Gayatri Sen …

… Have tied the knot.

Gayatri is not only a star …

… But one of the trustees Of Agradoot pictures.

After her husband, the owner of Agradoot …

… Ananta Sen's death …

… She retired from films.

To her it was probably justified …

… But it was a big loss to the industry.

The good news is, after the marriage last night …

… She announced that she will be acting again.

We are also very proud to have another very important guest with today.

Ladies and gentleman …

The future owner and …

… The only son of Gayatri Sen … Hemanta Sen!

Who has come all the way from New York for this ceremony…

Now I'd like to call our beloved Kalyan to say a few words.

A lot has been said. So do enjoy and kindly have dinner.

But Uncle I don't know Hindi.

You'll learn.

I'll tell Malhotra to give you a Hindi instructor.

You still have a week for shoot. Go to Mumbai and mug up your dialogues.

Uncle, at this peak of my career …

… I'll play villain in a Hindi film?

Any problem?

Dad please help me … say something.

I don't think we should argue.

I am not an amateur!

Got it?

I am getting into a deal with Malhotra.

You got to act in this film.

- But … - Come on! Go…

Theatre owner of Barasat has come.

Remind him that if he pulls off my movie …

… The theatre would be no more.

And tell the press to wait.

Come come Hemanta. Jetlagged?

Someone said you wanted to see me.

So you've finally come home.

This empire, Agradoot is finally yours Hemanta.

I'm just a trustee.

You are grumpy since the time you came.

Your mother is getting hurt.

It's not her fault!

Whose … fault?

- Nobody's - Right

After your dad's suicide your mother …

… Was completely shattered.

She withdrew from everything.

- She never wanted to disturb you - Yea. I know

Didn't know about your marriage.

You want her to stay widowed forever?

So what do I call you from tomorrow?

- Uncle or Daddy? - Doesn't matter.

What matters is you see the truth.

And the truth is …

… Copying South Indian films to make money?

This film Dhongsho …

… What was the original title? Interesting …

… I keep forgetting it. What was it?

Rotting!

So there is something rotten in the state of things.

If you literally mean the State of Bengal then I'd say …

You haven't been to Bronx or Harlem.

Stayed only in the tony places of New York.

And if by state you imply remaking South Indian films

Then I'd remind you that when Your Marty Scorsese

Cheats shot by shot from a Chinese film

And your America gives him the Oscar for Departed.

Press is waiting.

I have to give a press statement.

And don't ever smoke grass in my parties!

Vodka with coke!

Been looking for you for so long.

You've grown too tall.

- You sound like a … - Know all. Intellectual?

Called you so many times, couldn't get through.

Taken a new sim?

Ya. Picked one up at the airport.

How long are you going to be here?

Dunno. Why?

Can't tell you here.

Tell me.

The number where the sms are coming from is untraceable.

I have a friend who is a hacker.

Hello!!!

Before coming 30 calls.

After you land not bothered at all.

Everyone's busy with the marriage.

Plus the movie's a big hit.

No photos please …

Come …

… Let me give you a hug.

Got to smell you after so many years.

Conclusion …

Change the perfume.

That's it?
