Abby Sen

Put your credit card number here.

-One second. -Ok.

Are you in a meeting?

Yes.

Oh, sorry!

What’s that sound?

It's raining outside.

What’s your official email address?

What for?

I purchased a sofa set. EMI scheme is on till today.

Ma'am.

Got a beautiful mirror for free!

Won’t you give the official email address?

No.

Let's go.

Did you get the TRP of your special program?

At the beginning of the program

TRP was 30 percent, and at the end it’s 2.3 percent.

I have told you a hundred times, a wrong decision can mess up everything.

Such a stupid special program, made by the worthless Abby Sen.

It ruined the reputation of our channel.

Actually television audience wants entertainment, pure entertainment.

Exactly!

They hate to be taught, or fed with trash intellectualism.

What will you do now?

What happened now was just like a film...

I watched it at Nandan, the film center.

A man, lost his job, and did not disclose it to his family.

One day he was sleeping in the car. Right then, his wife called him.

Have you told her?

You’re creating a mess.

What will happen if your wife calls your office?

I will see to it then.

You can’t see,

but I can.

Mr. Abby Sen no longer works in this channel, Madam.

He has been dismissed this morning.

He is leaving right now.

You will get to know everything when he is back at home.

In more detail.

They should have served a notice.

At least 15 days back.

They don’t have any professionalism.

They will destroy everything.

One job after another... Why does this happen to me?

Remember that film? Upside Down!

The scene was quite like this. Bits of cotton floating around.

Sir.

Our company is for those households, who regularly have such a mess.

You may go for a yearly contract.

Whatever be the loss, you will get discount for repair and purchase.

For example, this sofa is gone. Our company will replace it.

Hey, I will damage you so badly that your wife will ask for a replacement.

-Oh God! -What are you doing?

I’ll kill this brat.

Please Abby, I’m sorry.

It won't happen again.

Promise.

I know you’ll get a better job soon.

Then we will buy everything again.

I remember the stores I bought them from.

Please.

I haven’t told him that you lost seven jobs so far.

We shall ask which channel is suitable for you.

My life always resembles some film.

Isn’t that strange?

Yes.

Something is happening somewhere.

Maybe, someday, there will be a film based on your life.

Abby Sen.

Presently, Bengali television is so competitive that a man like Abby...

He never understands what the audience wants.

If you want to do something at a higher level, then write a book.

People have stopped reading. So you have nothing to lose.

Abby is a big failure. No channel would keep him beyond a few days.

BBC says, there are only five people in the world...

Who are masters on the history of television.

Come in.

This man is highly qualified.

Be careful.

He is a bit crazy too. Otherwise, how could he live in such a place?

But such people are always like this. The mark of a genius!

Excuse me?

I wanted to have Luchi desperately.

Did you see the guy frying potatoes downstairs?

I have invited a friend too.

I need to make at least 30 to 40 pieces.

Give me your hand.

I need yours too.

Don’t mind. Prepare it.

I told you about him over phone.

Hmm. Abby Sen.

There is no point in trying for a new Channel.

He’ll be out in seven days, or three months.

That happened seven times.

I have a database for everyone working in television.

But,

there is a Channel where he would succeed.

Which one?

Grand Channel.

Grand Channel? Where is it? Not in Bengal?

It could have been the first private Bengali television channel.

In the year 1979,

some people tried to launch the Channel, but they failed.

In the year 1982, the Channel closed down. But you must carry on!

Bravo! It closed in 1982 and now it is being relaunched?

Told you, big boss has the best scoops!

You carry on.

There’s no scope for a relaunch.

So?

It's the final stage. It shouldn’t get solid.

Which one would get solid?

This one... if you stop working on it.

Oh...

He will come up with something solid.

It’s a good deal if you get a job in exchange for this work.

Here it is.

"A new private television channel...

Needs candidates for the job of producers and assistant producers."

You should apply for this.

Deadline is 15th January 1980.

-This is an advertisement for 1980! -So what?

He has no other option except Grand Channel.

He can’t get into any Channel here. The future is absolutely dark.

Don’t stop preparing it.

To hell with this! Let’s go.

Typical Bengali. Has emotion, but no motion!

What’s the problem with going to 1980?

The man is still in the city.

First page, third column.

Don't stop preparing. It’s the final stage.

Mr. Biswas,

I may use some slang in my speech.

Please chop them out. Ok?

Ok. I’m ready.

Last 14 years, that is...

the same period Lord Rama strolled around in the forest.

I was desperately after something. What’s that?

I was trying to make

a person go from one period in time, to another.

What’s popularly known as Time Travel.

Today,

I’m glad to inform you that

my research was absolutely successful.

Now,

I can take a person to anytime in the past or future.

And that’s 100 percent guaranteed.

Bullshit. How can you make a living person go from 2013 to 1980?

Just absurd! But I have a different point.

This man is uttering nonsense as there is no one to challenge him.

Hey, are you listening to me?

-Did you get my point? -No.

Just one interview. You will frame questions for him.

You’ve got two First Class degrees in science. What a career!

And you’ve seen more than a thousand science fiction films.

Not so much.

Ok, maybe a little less.

Just get a technical interview of this scientist.

We’ll submit it to a national News Channel. An incredible portfolio!

-No way! -Listen to me.

One technical interview of a scientist will get me a job at a National Channel?

The scorching heat has made you crazy.

It rained at noon, and now this heat! I know it will not get you a job.

But it will prove that your interview is different from others.

Let’s go. We should not be late.

If we put aside the quantum mechanical formula, parallel universe theory...

Whatever work done so far on time travel, is mostly on time dilation...

All of which have their roots in Theories of Albert Einstein.

Absolutely! Gravitational time dilation.

Based on Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

-And Special Theory of Relativity. -Perfect. Hmm.

He is my Guru. Dr. Ron Mallet.

He had been working on time travel for a long time.

He teaches Physics in a US University.

Oh God, you are just like Google!

Your friend even knows my Guru.

I am in perfect sync with you.

Do you have a time machine for the time traveller?

Not at all.

It's very simple. You only need to swallow a capsule.

I’m telling this to the world.

It’s neither a tale of science fiction, Nor a film. It’s reality.

Take it. Don’t be afraid. Take it.

This is... one such capsule.

It looks like an antibiotic capsule.

If someone consumes it, how far can he travel?

That depends on programming.

If you consume that one,

you will travel forward in time.

A direct flight to 2050.

-2050? -Right.

Wow! Retired life with grand children, no loan, no EMI.

Get me some water. I’ll swallow it.

And what if someone wants to go 33 years back?

33 years back? No one has kept his commitment.

But I will keep my word.

I’ll program that. Not an issue at all.

I have travelled many times. Both in the past and the present.

Now I want someone through whom

I can give the ultimate proof.
