our new Bengali film, NANA HEE, is going to start.

♫♫♫

Our dearest old country man,

Our dearest old country man,

sitting like a clown

thinking in a freaky way

sitting like a clown

thinking in a freaky way “NANA”

bought an idiot box

Our dearest old country man

watching the idiot box and fart

Our dearest old country man.

Today...

I’m going to tell you a story about a lost folk art form.

Anindita, a girl from Kolkata

came to Malda to do a dissertation on GAMBHIRA

No one knows why a big city girl

has come to Malda to do a research on the lost folk art form

For Anindita, research is just an alibi

trying to find her roots

just like me.

♫♫♫

♫♫♫

What’s all this?

Surprise.

Come...

♫♫♫

shutter clicks

♫♫♫

What;s this! - Come here...

Come...

Come here

Deba...!

Leave me.

I’m warning you.

Deba...!

I’m warning you.

Don’t do it.

Deba...!

♫♫♫

Yesterday

I took you for a new experience

you created a scene

Please leave, I don’t feel good

Aunty told me that

you didn’t have anything last night

Why are you doing this like a child?

I don’t need your advice.

It’s just a small thing, why are you getting so hyper?

It’s too much

I don’t want to disclose my personal life

infront of people.

And if you think it’s too much,

then yes

Debarpon, I can’t take you anymore

Please leave.

Don’t act like a ‘Sati’

Yes, I’m.

- Hmm If Ihave to be conservative to protect my dignity

then I will be.

If you have problem, then leave.

Why are you talking like this?

Why are you talking like this?

Why are you insulting me?

Disgusting

My wish

I’ve insulted you in this room.

You’ve insulted me in front of everyone.

What insult?

You’re talking rubbish

You felt insulted because I kissed you.

No. I didn’t mean it. - Then

You kissed me without my consent - Showy

You are too idiot to understand this Deba!

I can’t trust you anymore.

I see...

The boyfriend who can take his girlfriend to

a party like this just kiss her, he can do

a video of his girlfriend’s intimate moment

to blackmail her. - What are you saying?

Yes, if I didn’t stop kissing you, would you

have sex with me in front of everyone? - Who am I?

Am I your girlfriend or a prostitute?

This is called a dark party. - Shut up!

It’s 2024 - So what?

It’s not 1024 - What do you mean by Dark Party?

I can never open my personal life to everyone. - Don’t shout

Calm down!

Calm down!

Do you really need to go to Malda?

Yes...

Ani, in this age of internet

Who would physically go to the field for a dissertation?

I will go

Do you have any problem? - I don’t have a problem

Why would I have a problem?

I’m just saying

Even ma’am can’t recognize it’s from the internet

I’m not that kind of a person, Debarpon

Oh...!

The whole world is making PhD from Internet

Can’t you do it?

Don’t act like ‘Yudhishthira’

By the way, my parents’ anniversary is the

day after tomorrow. Do you remember?

It’s your parents, not mine.

They will be yours also in a few days.

How are you getting so sure?

I didn’t say yes or no to you.

You know.

If I talk about parents, I get

a little upset.

I didn’t mean it.

An art is dying, Deba.

If only my research could save this art,

it would be great.

That's what my father wanted.

It would be great if you could stay with me.

I would be very happy.

And if you don't...

it’s okay.

I’m always with you, you know that.

I’ll be with you

But I'll miss you.

Your’s...

Packing over?

It's very cold there.

It's winter.

Hmm...

Hmm...

Be careful.!

I’ll take your leave

I'll pick you up early tomorrow.

No, no.

I'll arrange a cab.

Don’t be obstinate!

Nothing like that.

See...

I think, we need some space in our relationship.

It’s suffocating

Hmm...

I'm giving you space.

From tonight to tomorrow morning

I'll come to pick you up in the morning.

Okay fine

I'll leave now.

Bye...

The people of ‘Nawabganj’ called the Lord Shiva as their ‘NANA’

So they invented a drama form by singing-dancing for Lord Shiva.

This form of act became popular in the name of ‘Gambhira’

With joy and pride, they lodge their complain to him.

Their Shiva is not like Adi Yogi Nataraj described in Purana

To them Shiva is their friend.

Shiva is their mighty Grandfather, head of the family.

Before death, our mighty old man

thought to bought an idiot box.

Villagers ran after the idiot box even it hampered their income.

Our mighty old countryman was very much happy.

And he started to eat in rejoice.

Even sanitisation is not that much important than the idiot box.

We are accepting this fact like an idiot.

Our almighty Nana (Shiva) is noticing our nonsense

Our almighty Nana (Shiva) is laughing from heaven

Where are you coming from?

Is Mr. Bagharoo here?

I'm coming from Kolkata.

I had a talk with Mr. Bagharoo

that I'm coming today.

Is he here?

Mr. Bagharoo

He's there.

Come...

Chanting Sanskrit Sloka.

Chanting Sanskrit Sloka.

Namaskar!

I'm Anindita

I had a word with you

that I’m coming today.

So, shall I ask the questions?

One minute...

Mr. Bagharoo

I'm...

‘Mr’...

Don’t call me ‘Babu’

You said that you were a Gambhira artist.

Can you tell me when does Gambhira art start?

When Nana (Shiva) came to the earth.

I don’t know the exact period.

What do you mainly try to say through this art?

I mean, what exactly do you have the message

to the society and people?

Shut up, you idiot!

What do you mean?

Not you, the society.

Only can understand gibberish entertainment.

Only understand emotional caricature.

Bunch of idiots.

We only talk with Nana.

You don't know anything...don’t know anything

So you talk with Nana...

He's a characterless man.

May be he is your God

but he was our friend.

We used to smoke with him.

We used to drink together.

We even teased young girl together.

So, what do you talk with your characterless friend?

Old Gambhira song describing the poor condition of underdog people.

So is this a message!

Why? Don’t you like it?

What will I do?

People like us...

doesn’t know how to talk sophisticatedly.

I got it.

This is an old art form right?

May be!

Can this art form be used as a public service announcement?

I mean, I want to say that

Amitabh Bachchan is doing PSA Swachh Barat Abhijan.

Forget about Amitabh Bachchan.

This art form is not for show.

Our art form is only for Nana (Shiva).

Can I say something, Didi?

Yes, go ahead.

What have you been writing since then?

Still I'm a student - Oh

Actually, we have a project for our exam

I came here for this project

to interview you.

What will you do with all this?

I want to save the Gambhira art and artisan.

I want to save their livelihood.

You guys how did you know that we

are in bad condition?

Or now it’s our turn to consume your idea of development?

Take this.

There was no need for all this. - Take. Take

What is this?

The guest is God

and you gave her tea in an earthen pot?

I need money to buy a new one.

I don't have money to buy a new

So! You don’t have money!

No...!

Sell your prizes to earn some.

I’ll slap you.

You swine!

Never say this again!

I will never sell those medals.

Get out!

You idiot.

Please calm down.

I will not... I will not

These medals are symbol of my Nana (Shiva).

I have called him so many times.

He doesn't come.

He has forgotten me.

One day he might come infront of me

wearing a suit and pants.

[sobbing]

Almighty Nana (Shiva)!

[sobbing continues]

Tell me about your experience when you watched Gambhira for the first time.

♪♪♪

Correct the tune!

♪♪♪

People are going to moon to showcase the space technical advancement

♪♪♪

People are going to moon to showcase the space technical advancement

beside this poor lady...

beside this poor lady from our rural Bengal losing her life by snake biting

People will build house at moon

Let’s occupy the moon, come on go fast...

People will build big cities and will travel through big vehicles

But if snake bites you, you will go straight to the hospitals

Mam was just asking.

How's your project going on?

it will take time

I think I am in a time travel

Oh - Hmm

They are honest and innocent people

but there art form is very much powerful - Okay

They are secular as well as spiritual

I really missed you yesterday

My parents also missed you

You know...they call Shiva as their Nana (Grandfather) - Oh

Their concept of Lord Shiva is not like what written in Purana - Hmm

they consider Shiva as their Nana (Grandfather) head of the family

It's a very sweet thing right ? - Hmm

To this marginal people God is a secular concept

We cannot think like them

Tell me one thing how long would you take to complete your project

I cannot say it now

I hope, you didn’t forget about your submission date

Please Deba, don't act like our ma’am!

I don’t act like your ma’am just make you remember

[Humming Gambhira song]

Ani, look at me. What are you singing nonsense ?

We civilized people ever think God as our friend ?

I don’t know... I really don't know

Ani...

Listen...

Yes...

I want to see you

I want to touch your body

I want to kiss you

Please strip out

It's extremely cold here, Deba

Stop it...

Please strip out please

Leave it

Look at me

Ani, look at me

Ani.... look here

Ani....

Please do some moaning sound

Ani...

Ani...

Yes...Strip out

Here it is

Tell me how would you become so passionate about Gambhira

One day I went to watch Gambhira

This idiot box is very scary

It captures the whole world within itself

It is very dangerous

It is engulfing humanity

too much usage

will hamper our ability of humanness

this idiot box sounds like old man’s fart

Our dearest old country man

sitting like a clown

bought an idiot box

Our dearest old country man

Old man

Old Man

Old Man - Bhanu

Old Man

Old Man - Bhanu

Old Man - Bhanu listen

What happen

Can't you listen the Nana gaan

It's becoming rare to listen Gambhira song nowadays

Sit down

You are right we used to go to watch Gambhira song - Hm

I miss those days there is nothing called neighbourhood

Our village also transforming into township, right Bhanu ?

We are losing our culture

[sighs]

We are losing our culture

People only watch television and mobile

They love to watch only petty entertainments - That day

People love to watch man taking revenge on another man

They are jealous - Hm

Entire world is suffering from jealousy

Entire world is suffering from jealousy

Humanity is suffering

Only Nana song can stop all kinds of conflict

Nana

Where is your Nana ?

Nana is there

Nana is there, Nana is my friend

Nana is there

Nana is there

What is love, Bhanu ?

Love ?

Hmm

Sacred

Home

Where Nana stays with us

You love you Nana very much right ?

Obviously

he is my best friend

Then who am I ?

You are also my friend

but you are not my Nana

Then tell me who am I to you ?

You...

This girl

This girl is fidgety

You don't love me, Bhanu!

I love you

You are my darling

You are my manasa

Listen Bhanu

Listen

come here

Manasa

How dare to tell me

[giggling...]

Will you tell again ?

Don’t tickle

Hey.... I’ll beat you

You know, for me it's like a political satire

Not only this, it's like a folk news form

for example the way they represent television

I swear how delightfully the present that television is coming to our home

Then...

After establishing the subject they start to talk about the problems

And they lodge their problems to Nana - Hmm

They do arguments with Nana and then they will ask for solution

They are challenging the power in a saterical way

Splendid

Yes...

exactly and listen

In early 70s, when television was introduced, it gradually became a threat for Gambhira

This is not right - This is not right

Everything has gone

What happen ?

People are becoming addicted with television

and they are not coming to watch Gambhira song

You can watch everything like

mountains river Sky through this idiot box

but our own Gambhira cannot make people watch all of these

Where ? - Where ?

Wait...wait...

Now what would happen with us ?

We are confused ! - Call that idiot

Our income will be hampered

Call Nana

Help me

Nana...

Wait..call him together

‘NANA’ [ oh GOD... ]

Diversity is beauty of our country

At post modernism becomes the reason that we are losing our religious culture

As well as many art forms in which God was an integral part of it

It is a strange era, in a strange time.

[Singing old folk song]

Can you tell me where was Gambhira started fast

Nawabganj, Chapai

You mean Bangladesh

To me Bangladesh is not a foreign country

It is the integral part of our heritage

What kind of independence is this?

People are shading blood in the name of religion.

Forgetting brotherhood people are killing each other.

What kind of independence is this?

♫♫♫

Independence gifted us Partition.

Contradiction between political leaders is the reason for this partition though many good leaders didn't want this

We didn't understand the politics of our leaders and messed ourselves into riots.

In the name of independence we are shading each others' blood

What kind of independence is this?

People are shading blood in the name of religion.

Uncle

I want to ask you something. - What happend Bhanu ?

Have you all seen my Nana ?

This boy !

Don't talk nonsense

Ani....

Leave me

Deba, it hurts

Sorry...sorry

I am sorry

Ani

Day after tomorrow is your birthday

Would you come with me ?

Look at me

Ani

Would you come with me ?

Where ?

Where!

Surprise

I will not go to any dark party

No, not at all

No, not at all

Under the sky when spring is about to knock the door I express my love to you.

This song is dedicated to the literature of Malda.

This song is dedicated to the great bengali epic Manashamangal

Witnessing the history I express my love, Oh my beloved.

I express my love to you.

We don't know our Bengali culture properly - Hm

Happy birthday

Thank you

When did you write this song ?

Few days ago

I don't remember that exact date

How is it ?

You know Bagharoo da can also write song very well

Even he don't take much time to write a song

He writes better song than me right

To us art is like timepass

The Mask to show our mock intellectuality or maybe the way become rich or maybe the way to become famous

but to them art is spirituality

they are not hypocrit like us

What happen ? - Nothing

Tell me

No you speak about your Bagharoo da I am listening

What do you mean ?

Since the day you came here, you are only talking about him

he can do this he can do that and tell me how good he is in bed - Debarpon

Don't cross your limit - Yes I will cross my limit

Bagharoo da

Tell me the differences between me and Bagharoo da

Is he better than me

When I am singing a song for you you are talking about him

You can't be like him - Oh!

Because you are a pervert and hypocrite

You only understand sex and patriarchy

and you wrote a song for ‘Behula’

Yes I am hypocrite

I do sleep with my guide for the sake of my PHD

The society makes me things like that

You were also like me

Suddenly you came here and your Bagharoo da did manipulate your thinking process

I am not like you - Shut up

Never compare yourself with me

You leave for sexuality and patriarchy that's why you do intercourse with your madam it is your choice

You always blame situation and it is just your alibi

Bagharoo da never manipulates me

Yes he does - No he doesn't

The man who believes what is his spiritual practice he doesn't need any materialistic pleasure

Stop this nonse...Stop this nonsense

Stop being pervert

Don’t forget that you can't stay here

You have to stay with urban metallic life, When you will become frustrated you have to get drunk

And then you sing despacito and Rabindra Sangeet together

You cannot stay here don't be illusive

Ani, speak out... speak out

Speak

[Singing a song dedicated to the almighty Nana to save our civilization]

Ani, shut up

Ani, shut up

Can't listen shut up

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

[mumbling continues]

The land of Malda makes me remember the history of Partition.

Riot took many lives and many love stories ended before reaching their destiny.

Still we love our heritage and this song is dedicated to express my deep respect and love to our history of Malda

Still we get back to our beloved ones

I express my love to you.

♪♪♪

This is the land of Gambhira

where Sati Behula brought her husband's life back.

This is the land of love and history and I express my deep gratitude through my song

I express my love to you.

A man chanting old bangla text Manasa Mangal

Excuse me can I have a lighter or matches

Thank you

Can I sit here ?

Please

Thank you

It's too cold

And that's why you are chanting Manasa Mangal in a peculiar way to warm yourself

You have read manasa mangal

Nice!

So are you a student of literature

Communication and Cultural Studies

Communication and Cultural

Splendid

What are you doing here ?

Why are you laughing so awkwardly ?

Nothing

You have to tell me the truth

When I get to know, that, you have read Manasa Mangal so you cannot get rid of me

That I know

Then tell me the truth

I am here to fight with my girlfriend

Splendid... Splendid

Conflict is the source of creation

Our great epic Manasa Mangal is based on the conflict of Chand and manasa the Goddess of snake

Tell me the reason of your fighting with your girlfriend

Tell me the reason

Gambhira

Gambhira

Gambhira

[Chanting old Gambhira skits]

Malda is the place of conflict and argument

They do argue with Lord Shiva can you imagine

She is here to research on Gambhira

Research ?

Research is nothing but the wastage of words, emotions and feeling

Don't do research

but write poetry

Malda is the land of love.

Spring is here to witness our lovestory.

Many stories of love will be written like the story of Behula and Lakhindar

Feel the solitude behind the history

I convey my love to our history of Bengal

Four people from different situation become lost in time

Bhanu roaming around the town in the search of Chapa and Nana

Anindita has become very much addicted with the history of gambhira

Deba is confused in between past and modernism

For the sake of bread and butter Chapa accepted the darkest occupation of this civilization

Come quietly

What happened ?

Come with me

I was helpless

You could have informed me

What will you do ?

Atleast I’ll try to do something

Listen

Listen

Listen

Look at me

did you find your Nana ?

There is no Nana

There is no Nana

Everything is lie

Calm down!... Calm down!

Nana is somewhere

why are you doing like this ?

Nana is there, Bhanu

you have to search him passionately

Chapa, this is not expected from you

I told you that in Corona my father passed away

my mother became insane I have to feed my family

Who will give me money ?

We need nana but he is absent

Calm down

Calm down

Look at me

Look at me

I met you after a long time

Can you kiss me ?

What happen

Calm down

Take this

Wait

Nana is waiting for you in the village

You

go back

Take this

Bhanu take this

go back safely, Nana is waiting for you

Don't stay here

Okay

Nana is not there

Nana is waiting for you in the village

Nana is waiting for you in the village

Bhanu, go back

to the village

go back

son of a bitch

son of a bitch

we all are son of a bitch

We are running after the success

Bagharoo da, you know why

By keeping a liquor glass in hand and carrying a ID Card

you don’t have to tell that I am a slave of yours

I am bounded to do everyting what they said

I am bounded to walk on their way

I am machine

I am bounded to do everyting

Our education only produces some corporate machine

Our education only produces some corporate machine

You know, what you need to become a slave

you need a degree for this

Your degree needs to be in every inch of your name

I don't need any degree

I don't need any degree

What happen to you ?

Why are you behaving like this ?

What will I do now, please tell me ?

everyone is telling me, don’t cross your limits

What have I done?

The day I met you, everything in my life

goes ups and downs, Bagharoo da

Right now, my life is fully messed up

I don’t know what to do

I don’t understand

For past two days

we always think that lie is the truth

Everyone thinks that human is nothing

but a property

Politics is everywhere

Everyone is selfish

Debarpon

Debarpon

Debarpon

Debarpon also don't understand me

What will I do now ?

Bagharoo da, tell me what should I do now ?

Guide me please

You left Gambhira, did Gambhira left you ?

I am confused I don't know what to do

Bagharoo da

Can we call Nana ?

If he can do something for me

NANA HEE...

NANA...

NANA HEE..

NANA...

NANA...

NANA... WHERE ARE YOU ?

NANA... WHERE ARE YOU ?

NANA... WHERE ARE YOU ?

NANA... WHERE ARE YOU ?

You are losing yourself

in the middle of the history

History will remain History itself

I’ll remain myself

but no one will be with me

What do you mean ?

I do not believe this logocentric history

Be realistic

I can’t understand you

Between known and unknown

there is an invisible line

To cross that invisible line

always there is a perfect moment

When you cross this perception it calls moment

and history lies in this moment

And history lies in this moment

Hmm

Horrible

What I understood situation is horrible

Our education system only teaches us the jugglery of words

Lighter

Instead, if you know poetry then this urban junk like breakup patch up move on never effect you

Actually, this is the land of poets and here you are teaching them some foreign theories which is nothing but the atomic explosion of words

When Nature is so beautiful you are not teaching them poem but some petty theories

This is not right

If you want Revolution here then teach everyone poetry

Without lecturing all day

If you make them read Rabindranath’s Bhanusimhar Padabali

they will learn how to love

Before reading history of sexuality we need to know our heritage Geet Govinda

Tell me for you what are the signs of love

Telling her that I love you - Hmm

What everyone does in a relationship I also have done that too - Like

Gave her expensive gift - Hmm

Had intercourse

You are literally confused

Had intercourse

Before intercourse what have you done ?

I kissed her

Actually both of you are confused about each other

Gambhira just worst both of your urban sophistication out and exposed the reality

and both of you are escaping from the bare reality

Both of you are running from reality

Chanting an old folk skits disobeying the ruthlessness of rat race

Chanting an old folk skits disobeying the ruthlessness of rat race

Why don't you go back ?

I came here not to go back

Why what's the reason ?

Can I come inside ?

I shouldn’t have behaved that way with you

I really over-reacted

I am sorry

I am sorry, Ani

What are you thinking ?

You can tell me

I am just thinking of one thing all the time

What is art all about ?

It's a tough argument

which one should we call art or which one not

Every art is a performance

but every performance is not art

you know what...

Art is romanticism

Romantic dialogue between God

or your beloved

or it can be a self love

Art is a duty to archive our heritage and time

You cannot claim digital or mechanical reproduction is an art

Excuse me, what should I call you?

Master Da

Master Da - Deba

Yes

Ani

Where are you going ? - Let me introduce you

Strange

Mas... Master Da

Who ? - I was talking with him he is masterda

Who is master da ?

with whom, I had a conversation, he is Master da

What do you mean?

you were walking alone

I was calling for a long time

You become insane, move aside

Master da

Master da

Where did he go ?

What happened to you ?

Are you blind I was talking with him for last 5 days or more

What is wrong with you ?

you were walking alone

with whom you are talking ?

You were talking with yourself

I was calling you for a long time

What happen tell me ?

I was alone

Tell me what happened ?

what ?

please tell me...!

Nothing

just like you

see gambhira everywhere

I am also...

Leave it

I want to say something

Yes

We can bring Bagharoo da to Kolkata right ?

What do you mean ?

We have our street drama festival, we can do Gambhira over there

Yes - Yes

Yes we can do it

Are you sure ?

Hmm... Yes

Only love can hold all relationships

this two combines and forms art

we have to protect our heritage and history

I love you - I love you too

[Singing old folk song]

Come come

Sit sit sit

[Singing old folk song continues...]

After a long time, I written something

so many things are happening around us

so I have to write

Very good- please write

We will do Gambhira again

Really ?

Yes

Definitely it has to be

We both will do, if nobody joins us

but Bagharoo Da

But a lady never did Gambhira

Sometimes to destroy the Evil we need the feminine power Goddess Kali

You are my Goddess Kali

Oh I forgot

What is this ?

New cup set

Many people will come to your home you need this

Can you give me a medal

all this

I don't need any materialistic thing I just need a little bit of acknowledgement of my Gambhira song

Will you go Kolkata with us ?

Me...?

- Hmm, why...why?

We will do Gambhira together at the street of Kolkata

Nana Hee...

you are here...

you are the ultimate power

Dear God, we are the puppet of your hand

the show must go on

[Singing old folklore]

[door knocks]

[door knocks again] - Pute, see who is outside

[humming]

[noise of hand drum]

[vigorously shaking hand drum]

You know, whole group is very excited about this kind of idea

Hello - Yes ma’am

So have you also started to sing that old folklore with a broken harmonium

Exactly

What ?

who kills you, when God is the saviour

Nana will save us

who kills you, when God is the saviour

Nana will save us

who kills you, when God is the saviour

Nana will save us

[car door shuts]

[car door opens]

[car door shuts]

[engine starts]

NANA HEE......

NANA HEE......

Wherever Nana, there is Magic

Bhanu has found his Nana

Nana has found Bagharoo

And my daughter Ani

don't be astonished have told you when the story starts that my daughter is just like me

I never found Nana in my family so came to the old capital of Bengal and become lost

But my daughter explored her Nana within Debarpan

I am just the communicator only

Only one thing I want to say Nana no one faces that situation what Chapa is facing

And that young lady dressed like a man you can find some devotee of Nana like her in this old capital of Bengal

Nana...Nana...Nana
