Original subtitles

Apu, it's 8 o'clock. What are you doing?

Yeah...

Apu?

What are you still doing on the computer? Don't you have an exam?

Just checking some chemistry formulae on Wikipedia...

NHCO3...

Your exam starts at 9 o'clock and you're still learning formulae?

What were you doing all month?

- Come for breakfast. - Yeah...

Every parent wants to bring up their children well.

But my parents are trying too hard with me.

So, I don't think I ever grew up.

Eat...

Do you remember everything you studied?

Can you write all the answers?

Concentrate... Concentrate...

Can you imagine?

If Bob Dylan's mom fed him breakfast, would he be able to write "Blowing in the wind"?

He would blow away in the wind himself.

Revise everything. You're forgetting...

- What time is it? - See...

- Do you remember now? - Yes... - I didn't finish the syllabus...

Don't copy answers from others.

What are you looking at? Listen to me!

- Listen to me! - Yeah...

- Don't look at your friend's answers. - Okay...

And don't let your friends... Look at me...

Don't let your friends...

Me? I'm a class 10 student.

I'm going in for the pretest before my board exams.

What? You don't believe me?

That means you're not Bengali.

If you're a Bengali then my mom's behaviour would be normal to you.

If you find this abnormal then you're not a Bengali.

Answer the questions you know first...

And if my mom has to help me cross the road all my life...

Then why did I upgrade to walking in the first place?

She could have carried me around.

I have to go in...

Show me the answer to 2A...

Here.

- Did you answer all the questions? - Mom... Mom...

- Did you mark them? - Can I have a snack?

No, you'll fall ill.

- Please, Mom... - Not during exams...

All this because of the naughty boys you're friends with... No way...

It's right here...

Debu, come here.

If you lose your book, don't borrow from Arunabho.

He needs last minute revisions. Understood?

Don't hide it from your parents.

I'll tell your mother if this happens again. Okay?

People who say our generation is stuck in the virtual world...

Do they know why we can't leave home?

Because there's no difference between the endangered tiger and us.

We are always being tracked.

The emergency siren rings the moment we step out of the radar screen.

We don't look for potential girlfriends on Facebook and Instagram.

- We look at the world outside. - Apu, come!

Dad says more and more

Mom keeps praying

I say take it easy

I am not a machine

Cowering under the weight of the syllabus

I'm not ready to die

I know what I love

And I'm not letting go

The me generation

If it rained in December And it was winter in July

Then I would have been a bad boy too

If America was poor And Africa was rich

I know what I love

And I'm not letting go

The me generation

Beware of the conditions applied

Square pegs for round holes

Coming second is a crime

You can hit me with your blows You can hit me with your words

My tears have dried up

I will end up where I want to be

The me generation

THE ME GENERATION

So, when oxygen gets added to methane...

Almost all students my age have two teachers.

One in school and the other tuition.

So, there's no time to study on our own.

But this coaching class is a relief.

We get to meet friends.

This is Piya.

I get to see to Piya. That's it.

This one and a half hour makes the rest of the day bearable.

If you don't mind...

Could you help me out with that?

I don't know how I can help you with your memory.

My chemistry is pretty good...

I can help you out.

The grand old man of the school.

He failed a few years and now he's in our class.

He is at least 22.

- Dude, he has the maturity also... - Shut up.

God knows what Piya sees in him.

What does he have that I don't?

Bro, he has a phone and a shaving kit.

- Look at his beard and guitar... - Not helping...

And he doesn't have to hide and play it in a store.

He gets pocket money.

And he's not handcuffed by his parents.

How do you plan to go on a date with Piya?

- You'll have to get two tables at the restaurant. - Correct...Exactly...

One table for you and Piya and the other one for your parents.

Sitting there with a lunch box.

- You'll have home cooked food there too. - Shut up.

What are you thinking?

Think hard, bro.

You've been watching TV for hours.

Is that all you want to do? Stare at screens?

Get on with your books now.

But my exams just got over.

What do you mean?

How long do you have before your board exams?

Okay, okay...

I'm going to study now but...

If I get good grades in this exam, you'll get me a guitar. Okay?

Ask your father.

Apu, get out of the loo!

Coming...

No matther how much you shout, your son will come 5th in class.

He won't come 1st.

He doesn't have the capability to top the class.

As long as your son has it, I'm okay with it.

I can't teach him under the table trading yet...

You've to teach him how to top the class.

Please tell me what else I'm supposed to do.

I'm not around as much to do more.

Didn't I tell you that you'll have to take a lot of responsibilty before we got married.

I'm so busy taking care of things around here I don't even have time for serials.

Wow! What wonderful sacrifice!

And your son comes 5th in class to reward you.

If you stopped watching TV he'd probably come first.

Apu!

Apu!

I'm coming!

All these days of the month, you spend away from the house...

How will you ever get it?

The worries I have...

I'll go crazy one day.

What's wrong?

He's still scared of chemistry.

I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't do well in his exam.

Think about my economics before your son's chemistry.

What happened?

My brother had called from Delhi.

He's sending his daughter to stay here. She's getting some check up.

What's wrong with Durga?

Some mental health issue... I didn't ask for details.

What?

Mental health problems in such a young girl?

Has she gone mad?

Don't talk like an illiterate.

Mental health issues doesn't mean she is mad.

Is she coming alone?

You think they'd stay here even if they came.

We don't belong to their status.

Anyway, how will they even come?

Both of them have jobs.

That's why they'll leave their daughter on her own.

She's not going to be on her own.

She'll be with us.

Keep a check on the expenses this month.

She's a modern girl from Delhi.

Who knows how much we'll have to spend on her.

There will be expenses but...

A young girl like her at home...

I don't want to be involved. It's your decision.

I am not taking any responsibility.

I have this job because of my brother.

What are you talking about?

Just because of your job we'll have to take care of his daughter?

It's late. Go to sleep.

Do whatever you want.

The reason my parents are fighting right now...

She is my cousin sister.

She moved to Delhi almost 6 years back.

Her nickname is Durga.

- Her given name is... - Shreyoshi Bose.

Shreyoshi... Yes.

Yes, that's the patient's name.

Is the appointment confirmed?

Tomorrow 4 PM?

Okay. Thank you.

Please have your tea.

Lay out the new bedcover.

Already done.

Your son is very messy.

I am moving all the books.

What's wrong, sweetheart?

Why so grumpy?

You are here since morning. Won't your mom scold you?

They've thrown me out of my room.

Where will I go now, Granny?

What are they doing with your room?

- Durga is coming... - What? Durga?

I've been demoted to the living room as long as she is here.

What is that now?

She'll be staying in my room.

That's why...

- And you? - Who knows...

Apu.

I'll get him.

Apu, your father's calling you.

Apu!

Apu!

- What did you do now? - No idea.

Damn it.

Is this why we send you to school?

You're writing this rubbish instead of studying?

Do you want to be a poet?

Do you want to write songs?

You think people will buy it?

Do you think you can run the family on that money?

You don't spare a thought, do you?

For me or your mother?

We just want you to have a secure future.

So that you don't have to worry about money like I do.

"I'll float away with you... I'll fly away with you..."

Do you even have a place outside this house?

Idiot!

- Do you want to eat something? - No, I have a train to catch.

Why won't you eat?

Did you do something, Apu?

Is your father angry?

Why don't you want to eat?

- You've lost all your credentials... - Not just lost...

...It's dead too.

But it doesn't matter much because she is my sister.

She might be your sister but she is from Delhi.

And you're Calcutta's representative for her.

Nope... Uncle shouldn't have played with Calcutta's prestige like this.

Damn...

Your sister is very hot, right?

She's not just hot...

She talks really well too.

Hope you didn't have any trouble getting here.

I had given your mother detailed instructions.

Do you want some milk?

Nope... I've to go to the store.

Where will you go?

I'll be going out... I can get it for you.

Some basic stuff.

Napkin and razor.

How will you go? You don't know the way...

Yeah... Apu can come with me.

We can chat and he can show me around.

Apu can't go right now.

He has coaching classes in the afternoon.

Where are you going?

Are you leaving right now?

No, I need to use the washroom.

Do you want to come?

Can you imagine?

I've never had the courage to talk to my mom like this.

- Do pretty girls study engineering? - You only ask stupid questions.

He's so modest.

- We bow to thee... - Do you have Wi-fi?

We don't.

Can you turn your hotspot on?

I have used up all the data.

I don't have a phone.

I use my mom's phone to listen to music sometimes.

Do you write letters to your friends?

Shut up!

You can use my hotspot.

It won't connect.

She's my sister. Talk to her properly.

Please don't give me any more.

Why?

You haven't eaten anything.

I'm not hungry.

Aren't you feeling well, Durga?

No, I'm full... I'm not in the mood.

Durga.

I don't understand these girls nowadays.

Always chatting back.

Education or the lack of of it... Who knows?

She's probably not well or she's tired.

It could be anything. Give me some more gravy.

Okay.

After dinner, put up the mosquito net in her room.

- Me? - Who else?

- Can I have her chicken? - Yes.

When you go to sleep, just drop this.

How can you live here?

It's like a prison.

No phone, no Wi-fi...

Do you know what's happening in the world?

Yes! I don't have a phone but I'm on Facebook.

We have a personal life too. Just like our parents.

At least, we should have.

But Dad says there can't be a personal life before I turn 18.

He's right.

You should go to bed now.

Just drop this. I'll switch off the lights.

Good night.

Okay.

Hey, wake up.

- Do you know where Purna Das Road is? - Yes...

You know how to get there?

Yes...

Good, get ready. You're taking me there.

Mom won't let me go anywhere.

Leave that to me. Get ready.

Quickly...

She has already started making plans.

- Mom. - Yeah.

What was Durga saying?

- Take her where she needs to go. - Who? Me?

- Yes. - But...

The girl has some mental problems.

I think she'll like your company. And listen...

Her mom I mean your aunt has sent money.

She'll go to the doctor's chamber.

There's a receptionist called Paromita.

Remember to give her the money.

I'll go to class alone?

No!

I'm not giving you such a huge opportunity.

Durga will be with you all the time. Understood?

My sister's here after a long time.

That's why I can't go.

- But don't tell your father. - No, never.

- Get ready. - Mom...

How will I know when she's done? I don't have a phone.

Take my phone.

Keep the phone in your pocket.

People who use it don't stare at it just like that.

Do you have the doctor's fees?

Mom asked me to give it to Paromita.

I can give it to her.

Mom said we should pay after it's done.

Have you ever paid doctor's fees before?

They won't see you unless you pay in advance.

Did you know that?

Give it to me. I'll pay them.

Now, please call a cab.

Taxi? Mom asked us to take the bus.

You disobey your mom when you go on Facebook.

Has the world come to an end because of that?

Call a cab.

Taxi!

Please stop.

You want to get off here?

Yes.

Go to your class and meet me here later.

Is the doctor's clinic here?

I need some fresh air.

Keep this. You might need it.

Okay.

- Meet me here. - Yeah.

...plus H2SO4...

Write down CaCO3 plus H2SO4 gives us CaSO4 which is calcium sulphate.

Plus twice H2CO3 which is hydrogen carbonate.

Make sure that the valency calculations of all your equations are correct.

Or else the entire equation will go down.

She's standing there.

Talk to her.

You guys know what I should give you a ride.

- We can feel the air... - Piya is leaving with him...

- It'll be fun. - Talk to her.

Don't worry about the helmet.

My father is really good friends with the cops.

- It really won't be a problem. - Then we can go...

My mom is coming to pick me up.

- But you can always take her... - No, I don't...

- Come with us... - Mom's calling.

- Yeah, Mom. - Piya...

- I just got out of class... - Can I have your number?

Do you want me to fly there? Why do you bug me so much?

Don't treat me like a kid. I hate it.

Very cool phone.

But the cover is a give away that it's your mom's.

Flirting with your mom's phone won't work.

Forget about it.

You're free today.

Let's celebrate your freedom!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Pick up... Pick up...

Hello.

Hey.

I miss you. Where are you?

Shreyoshi, I'm busy. I'll call you later.

Okay... But do you miss me?

Bye.

Excuse me, there's a call waiting.

Hello, Mom.

Are you busy? What are you doing?

Can I call you later, baby?

I'm a little busy.

Bro, I don't think I can have dinner anymore.

- I feel so blaoted. - I think it's indigestion.

Oh no! Mom is calling.

You're going to be in trouble.

It got really late.

No point talking about it. Let's go home.

Should I answer the phone?

- Don't answer. - Let's go home.

Let's take a taxi.

- Taxi?! - Taxi?!

Yeah! Let's go.

Come on... Come on...

Taxi... Taxi...

Stop. Stop.

- Get up. - Let's go.

Move faster...

- Drive, uncle... - We're very late.

- I lost track of time. - Call Durga.

- Don't tell my mom anything. - I am not crazy.

What?

Call Durga.

- She's not picking up. - What?

- Mom is calling again. - Don't answer.

- Wrong person calling at the wrong time. - Just don't answer.

Just put it on silent mode.

Please stop here.

You guys go ahead. Bye.

- Let us know once you get home. Bye. - Yes, sure. Bye.

Bye...

Have you seen a tall girl here in a brown tshirt?

No. I haven't seen anyone.

S***!

Okay, thank you.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you where Dr. Ghosh's clinic is?

No idea.

Okay.

Yes, stop right here.

Here you go.

So shameful, Apu.

I trusted you...just for one day.

And this is the result.

Do you know how worried I was?

I was just about to call you father.

Aunty, it wasn't his fault.

Please shut up, Durga.

Don't say a word.

He's my son.

I know him.

Please leave.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Tell me where you were.

The phone kept ringing.

Why weren't you answering the phone? Tell me.

Had to put the phone on silent in class...Forgot to...

You're lying again... I know you're lying...

You weren't in your coaching class.

I had called your teacher, okay?

You had left a long time back.

Were where you?

Who were you with? Tell me.

You were with Debu and Rito, weren't you?

I lost my book.

I went to buy the book at Gariahat.

Otherwise you would have scolded me.

You couldn't tell me the truth before?

Didn't you know I would be worried?

Why couldn't you tell me the truth?

- The truth... - Mom, won't happen again...

Thanks, brother.

It's cool.

Are you mad at me?

You are probably blaming me for the beating you got.

Maybe we could have avoided it.

Do you want to know the truth?

There's no point really.

I know that you didn't go to the doctor.

You didn't have to lie to me.

Do you know why I lied?

Only you know why.

I trusted you and you broke my trust.

Lying wasn't my intention.

The truth is that I have clinical depression.

At least that's what the doctors say.

After I attempted suicide in Class 11.

But generally, I don't feel good about myself all the time.

Why did you attempt suicide?

No one attempts suicide just like that.

What was the reason?

I'd be very happy if my parents asked me this question.

They thought I was seeking attention.

I was seeing a doctor in Delhi.

Then eventually...

The community started gossiping...

And my parents were more concerned about what people thought.

That's why they sent me here.

What about the doctor? The treatment?

You should go to the doctor and solve the problem.

Doctors give a lot of medication.

And I really hate the side effects of the meds.

And sharing my personal problems with a stranger...

It's very difficult.

So, instead of getting another prescription...

I hung around a construction site for some time.

I'll trust you again.

Just like today, I'll trust you tomorrow too.

But you have to give me your word.

The medicines that the doctors are prescribing....

They know what they are doing...

You're not a doctor.

Why are you deciding for yourself?

Take the medicines.

There must be a reason why they are prescribed.

You have to keep my promise.

Promise.

I'll never break your trust ever again.

Hey, wait a minute.

Please change your pants.

How long are you going to wear the same pants?

We have to get you new pants. These are in really bad shape.

You say that all the time but you never buy it.

When do I get the time?

Debu said there's a sale at the mall. Can I go with him?

- Then I can get new... - Absolutely not!

I've asked you many times to stay away from that guy.

Debu is a very naughty boy.

Mrs. Bandopadhyay caught him smoking the other day.

I can take him.

- I shop for my dad too. - Yeah, yeah...

I'm not letting the two of you go out alone.

You should come with us. It'll be fun!

Let's see.

Mom, check this out.

It's all torn.

It's not torn. It's the trend. You don't know.

- I don't even want to know. - Then it's fine.

Aunty, what about this one?

It's nice, right?

Not at all.

It's really good.

Try this one.

Hurry.

Hey.

Give me a cigarette.

What?

I can't sleep.

My head will burst if I don't smoke.

So please...

I don't smoke. Where will I get a cigarette from?

Wow! You're living on bluffs.

You can bluff your mom but not me.

You'll get caught.

I'm not bluffing. I don't smoke.

Then you should know. Your dad hides and smokes outside...

Once your mom goes off to sleep.

My dad hides his pack of cigarettes under the drawer.

And our dads are brothers.

Smoking is in their blood.

So, find it.

How will I find it?

- Mom is sleeping there. How will I... - Figure it out.

It's simple.

If I don't smoke right now, I won't be able to sleep all night.

And I'll toss and turn all night.

And that will disturb your sleep too.

So, for the sake of your sleep...

Get me the cigarettes.

Don't give up so easily, my friend.

This is torture...

Go... Go...

Take the torch.

Check that side.

Look in there...

Is it there?

Hey.

Let's go.

Don't make any sound.

What's your problem?

- First, smoking is injurious to health. - Seriously.

And secondly, smoking is globally out of fashion.

Cut the crap and just give me the smokes.

Like I care.

No but I care.

You don't really need this.

You don't have to smoke.

Okay.

Throw it away.

Throw it far away.

Are you happy?

Tell me something.

You're saying Uncle is not scared of Aunty.

I don't know. Maybe... Maybe not.

He doesn't smoke in front of her.

I found a whiskey bottle hidden in the balcony.

If this is not fear then what is?

Dad hides things from us.

I got to know that today.

I can see that clearly now.

I found some unpaid credit card bills and bank loan papers in the drawer.

Maybe he doesn't want us to see his shortcomings.

Probably, he wants to maintain an image in front of us.

I don't get it.

Let it be.

No point trying to understand the parents.

They should try and understand us first.

Bunk it.

- So, what's your scene? - What do you mean by scene?

What's the status of your love life?

How many girlfriends have you had?

I'm still waiting at the pavillion.

Haven't had a chance to play yet.

So, in your language, it's a zero.

But there's a girl I like.

Of course.

So, what's the scene?

Her name is Piya.

We go to the same tuition classes.

But she doesn't really care about me.

She's interested in an older guy in the class.

He has a beard.

He can play the guitar, ride a bike. She's very impressed.

She probably doesn't even know I exist.

That's it.

It's quite a sad scene.

What's happening in your life?

I've had... A total of...

Around 12 boyfriends.

But all of them were "use and throw" type.

Basically, they've all used me and thrown me.

Do your parents know about your boyfriends?

Yes, they know everything.

But they pretend to know nothing.

There was a point when I thought that no one will be able to love me.

Until I met the man!

Sourav.

Classmate?

Professor of History.

And he loves painting.

In fact, that's his passion.

To be a painter.

He must be much older than you?

He's 40 years old.

He's just a little younger than Dad.

I know, it's a bit wierd.

But you know, when it comes to love...

Age doesn't really matter.

We've decided everything.

We'll get married.

Honeymoon in Paris.

There's a village in France called Gordes.

We'll stay there.

He'll leave everything and just paint.

We'll sell the paintings to make a living.

And we'll have two babies.

I can't have more than two babies.

So, that's it.

What are you thinking about?

Which planet have you been living on?

Nonsense!

Whatever... You got it...

You will make babies...

Your studies are in a sorry state anyway...

You can't even score 50% in chemistry.

And you are having fun?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

I'll tell your father everything today.

I'll ask him to stop your studies.

I'll see how fun your days are then.

You are becoming a...

I've got nothing more to say to you.

- Let's see how spoilt you are... - No, give it back.

Love letters?

You write poems?

Not poems... Lyrics...

You mean you are a songwriter?

My parents will never allow it.

But why?

If you work in music after your studies then what's the problem?

I don't know.

I still haven't got it.

Tell me...

Do you understand everything that your parents say?

Marrying you was the worst mistake of my life.

- And you've taken advantage of that. - I've taken advantage?

- Even Durga knows who took advantage. - Please don't involve me.

- How much do you earn? - This is a pointless discussion.

You can't run the house on that money.

And if you didn't have my support you wouldn't even have this job.

Your make up kit... Your kitty party...

- Your pretentious NGO... - Dad, please...

- Everything runs on my credit card. - Mom, he doesn't mean it.

- What about your daughter's expenses? - Can you please stop it?

Stop this nuissance.

- I know... - That's enough...

I know this nuissance should stop once and for all.

- Yes, yes, yes, Durga... - That's not what I meant.

- You must accept the reality. - Do you know what you are saying?

- Yes, the time has come. - Will you send the divorce papers?

- Yes, you'll get to know. - Why are you talking about divorce?

Mom, please don't leave. At least, for my sake.

Mom!

Your parents are separated?

I don't think my parents know. Do they?

You're very lucky, my brother.

You have time to think if you want to become an engineer or a musician.

I was just given one second to decide who I want to live me.

I haven't torn the last few pages of the diary.

Maybe you can read and give me a feedback.

Who knows if they are actually any good?

Has Piya heard these?

There's a festival called "Gaanwala". Thought I'd ask her to come to that.

But they might murder me if my parents get to know.

I don't understand what the problem is.

You should play. This is pretty good.

Dad will kill me.

And Mom will have a heart attack.

They are not interested in anything other than the IIT.

You saw her reaction just because I was listening to music.

But according to my dad, your dad was crazy about music.

What's with the hypocrisy?

- Dad was crazy about music? - Yeah.

Does he look like the guy? Have you ever seen him listen to music?

He had a life before you were born.

He couldn't think about anything but music then.

I can't believe this.

If that was the case, he would have bought me a guitar at least.

You don't have a guitar?

Who will you perform at the festival then?

Who will give me a guitar?

Say I get a guitar... What about the audience?

Where will I find the courage to perform?

What if people throw rotten tomatoes and eggs?

Let it be... It's just a dream.

You need to live your dreams, Apu.

You just have one life.

Don't give up so easily, my friend.

Apu tell Granny, lunch is served.

Let's go.

- Apu... - Yes.

- Please give this to Granny. - I'll go. Give it to me.

I'll be right back.

Wow, these are quite thick.

Am I looking cool?

See.

- Give me the glasses. - Here you go.

Let's go to the zoo. Zoo...

How will I go? My knee is aching.

- I can't move with these knees... - So what? Pop some pills and let's go.

- It'll be so much fun. - You kids go ahead.

I'm not young anymore.

We'll have fun and you'll be stuck here with your TV?

What else can I do?

All I have right now is TV and tobacco.

This is over too.

It smells really good.

Can I score some?

Mom, I need money for the tuition fees...

Money needs tuition...

Tuition needs Mom... No... Why?

- Tuition fees needs to be... - You, idiot!

Are you going to talk like this?

She'll know at once you're lying.

You must lie confidently. That's the only rule.

But if I bunk chemistry, I'll fail.

Hello? Chemistry major right here.

I'll take care of it.

Your syllabus is for kids.

That's a relief.

What are we going to do with all the money?

We'll need it for the party.

Oh, for the party... What party?

Hey... I am not interested in political parties.

Please stop here.

Wait... Wait... Wait.

Give this to your teacher.

Don't forget and don't lose it. And another thing...

- Come straight home after your classes. - Yes, okay.

Let's go.

Hey!

I'm better at bluffing now.

You're a grown up now.

Not bad.

Very good. Congratulations!

What are they laughing about?

She's looking here...

Really?

See for yourself.

She is looking here!

- She is flirting, bro... - Now what should we do?

- Go talk to her... - How can I suddenly talk to her?

Go talk to her...

- Piya... Piya... - Sharmila is looking at you...

Hi.

He's doing quite well.

Are you free tonight?

We're having a small gathering on my terrace....

Basically, he means a little party. Oh, hi. I'm Durga, his sister.

I'm Piya.

Actually, he's a fan of the Bengali songs that's why he talks like this.

So, are you free?

Yeah, I think, I'm free.

- Great! Do you have a pen? - Yes, yes.

This is my address and phone number.

In case, you need to contact Apu.

- Okay and do you need my number? - Yes, yes.

- Alright, see you at 7 pm. - Yeah, okay.

What's up, bro?

- What a stud! - He's not going to wash his hands now.

He's never going to wash his hands.

There's a taxi.

Tell me...

How are we going to have this party?

Don't give up so easily, my friend.

You can't just quote Suman whenever you want?

How are we going to pull it off?

Mom is going to be home... Chhaya Aunty is going to home.

Let me take care of it.

I'll have to go to the doctor once.

Doctor?

What are your problems now?

No more problems. Generally, feeling much better.

I'm not depressed. My energy levels are up.

I'm feeling hungry too.

- So yeah... I'm better... - That sounds good actually.

Almost...

Why almost?

- Because I can't sleep. - Okay.

No matter how much I try, I can't sleep.

How long do you sleep?

2 hours maximum.

Somedays not even that.

Are you taking your medicines?

Yeah, absolutely.

In fact, I'm trying everything. But nothing is working.

Okay.

I'm adding a sedative for a week.

This should help.

But don't get used to it.

- Yeah, yeah... - Anyway.

Don't be too worried about your sleep.

Because it really doesn't matter.

Here, this should help you.

- Shreyoshi, one more thing. - Yeah...

You have to make it to the counselling sessions.

You need help.

And the more you run away from your problems, the worse it gets.

So, keep that in mind, okay.

Why are you packing your bags, Mom?

I could hardly speak to your Aunt that day.

Then I couldn't get in touch with her because of your exams.

She'll leave soon and I won't see her for a long time.

So, I'll meet her today.

I won't be back tonight, okay?

I've made arrangements for everything.

There's food in the fridge.

Chhaya and Durga will look after you.

Make sure he eats on time.

- Make sure he doesn't watch too much TV. - Of course.

I'll tear off the plug if he touches the TV.

Apu, you're my responsibilty.

Don't let me down.

- What will you say if your father calls? - What will I say?

- Say that... - Aunty isn't feeling well so she is napping.

- Yes, say that. - okay.

I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Aye, aye, captain.

Your Uber is waiting outside.

What are you supposed to do over there?

Tell me...

- I'll only chill! - Correct.

- Bye, Mom... - Bye... Be good...

- Be careful, okay? - Bye, bye.

Good bye!

Hey, come out.

Carefully...

Oh god!

Don't make a sound.

Come... Carefully...

- Don't step on her. - What happened to her?

Just relax...

-What happened to her? - Call the CID.

Please shut up.

- What happened here? - Nothing at all.

Just gave her some sedative.

She won't wake up before tomorrow morning.

You drugged her?

Not really. She thinks I gave her gas medicine.

And anyway good sleep means a healthy body.

It's proven by science.

- So, let's start the party. - But Granny is in the next room.

Can you please chill now? I'll take care of that too.

- Come in... - Granny.

Please come in everyone...

- Meet Piya, Rito... - Hi... - What's up, Granny...

And this is Debu.

We're having a small party.

So lovely to meet all of you.

- Same here. - Same here.

Apu, did you tell you parents that they are coming?

They'll be very angry if they get to know later.

You just chill.

Don't worry about anything. I'm here.

One second.

- This is for you. - Really?

- Yours was almost over. - You remembered?

If we're having a party, you should have fun too!

So cool!

You said I can't do anything

I don't know how to live In this black and white society

You said I can't do anything

I don't know how to live In this black and white society

You can't drive me away from you

It might not be true But you can lie to me

Open the window to your heart

You've just come into my life

Don't talk about leaving already

We might fight We might remain friends

- What are you doing? - Give me my phone.

- It's 9 o'clock. Let me call the Uber. - The first party of our lives will get over so soon?

What do you mean?

- Let's shift the party somewhere else. - Shift the party?

Where do you want to go now?

Graveyard.

I really want to see the graveyard at night.

My baby brother is all grown up.

May you always be happy in love

May a teardrop never leave your eye

It's time for me to go back

With you

With you

All of a sudden you feel alright

Just like the dark night

I'll be your prince charming

The light that shines bright

With you

With you

I can see a lot of trouble in your marriage.

There's tension in Apu's father's workplace...

But our relationship is fine.

The pain in my knee is just not going away.

It's the same with my headache.

I was taking some Homeopathy medicines.

Actually, I can't stop worry about Apu.

Hang this in the southern corner of your room.

Okay.

And water the Holy Basil plant every morning.

- Understood? - Yes...

Give this ring to your son. He'll pass all his exams.

You've no idea how worried I am about his chemistry.

Don't worry. His good time is just round the corner.

- What are you basing this on? - What?

Why don't you wear these rings?

These are so good for him. But he won't wear them.

Yeah, I wish I could also wear these.

They are so pretty. They look so cool.

You're so lucky.

Why?

Your mom worries so much about you.

I wish my parents also worried for me.

Can I see your palm?

Yes, show him.

- He is great palm reader... - Hey, let's go... Waste of time.

Apu, mind your words.

What did I say wrong?

You are wasting your money pointlessly?

Complete waste of time and money just to pacify yourself.

Please excuse me.

- Please don't mind him. He's a kid. - No, not at all.

They are young. How will understand these things.

I don't like these things at all.

Why did you talk to him like that?

He must have felt so bad.

I don't care about that fraudster's feelings.

Apu, what's wrong with you?

Apu!

You're going to get the beating of your lifetime.

Apu, open the door.

Open the door!

Durga...

- There's a courier for you. - Yes, please keep it.

Chaya, please bring me my phone.

- Yes, getting it.

Plus Na2CO3?

This is Methane.

It's your mother.

Yeah, tell me.

I've sent a courier.

It just arrived.

I thought you forgot.

How can I forget her birthday?

I've made her rice pudding in the morning.

Can you put Durga on the phone?

Hold on... Durga...

- I wrote it. - Your mom...

- I don't feel like talking. - Don't be like this. Talk to her.

Yeah.

Happy Birthday, baby.

Why did you make such a huge effort?

Did you like the gift?

Please don't put on this act. I can't stand it anymore.

Bye. I'll talk to you later.

No matter how mad you are at them, your parents are the only ones who care.

There's no gurantee in any other relationship.

Only parents can't abandon their kids.

Hope you understand it someday.

- Chhaya, chop the banana stem. - Yes, right away.

Are you going soemwhere?

Have the pudding and then go.

I've asked Apu to bring a nice cake.

Is it not good?

Why aren't you and Uncle my parents?

I could have had this pudding every year.

You crazy girl.

How can you change your parents?

You've to understand your parents love.

Don't cry, love.

You shouldn't cry on your birthday.

Don't cry.

As usual. Self-help book.

She sends me one every year.

"Happiness is a choice.

"Stay well, Durga."

- " We love you." - " We love you."

- " Happy birthday." - " Happy birthday."

- " Love, Mom and Dad." - " Love, Mom and Dad."

There you go.

They've just washed their hands off me.

Their responsibility is over.

I can only tell them something if they listen.

Only Grandpa ever listened to me.

I used to write letters after Grandpa passed away.

I would tie those letters to ballons and send them away.

So that they can go to heaven.

I thought maybe it will reach Grandpa somewhere in the sky.

One second.

Hello?

Yeah, Shreyoshi.

Hi.

Hello.

I miss you.

Di you call?

Yeah, I called many times but couldn't get through.

Bunk that. Won't you wish me?

Wish?

Oh yeah. Happy birthday.

Thank you.

The network's really bad here. I'll call you later.

Okay, no problem.

Later then.

What happened? Fight?

Nope. He's busy.

What are your problems now?

Why aren't you answering your mom's phone?

How can you be so angry?

When I was in class 10.

I told my mom her brother had molested me.

Mom asked me to keep quiet about it because he is family.

Maybe you understood.

Now she pretends like nothing ever happened.

If she accepts it, she'd have to do something about it.

They have to pretend to be a happy family in front of others.

And Dad is dating his secretary.

That's why they are separated... They live apart.

The divorce papers are ready.

But does anybody know about it? No.

No one will ever know.

Because the representation of a happy family is most important.

After that they tell the doctor...

That they know nothing... They understand nothing...

Why am I depressed?

I've searched for love in all the wrong places.

Why di I try to kill myself?

But they'll say it wasn't their fault.

Or worse they have no responsibilty.

But this is a good book.

We can use it for a bet.

But seriously...

This will be the world's first cremated self-help book.

Thank you.

Then let's do it.

Here you go.

Great! Lovely!

Let me do it...

Light it.

Ready?

- Two, four... - Here's the cake shop.

I don't need cake right now.

Give me a nice present.

I don't have any money.

Wait one second.

Where did you get that?

I'm saving some...

Some from Doc's appointments, your tuition fees and some from Granny.

You fooled Granny in to giving you money?

You're something.

Then what are you buying? Shoes, clothes, jewelry?

It's my birthday. I'll buy whatever I want.

Come on.

What do you want to buy? Wait let me get my bag.

Is it good? Let's get this.

This is my present to you.

What do you mean?

There are two things stopping you from performing at Gaanwala festival.

One is guitar and the other is your dad.

I've solved the first problem. But you've to deal with the second.

I want commission when you're famous. If you forget me then I beat you up.

- Please pack this... - Thank you.

Which one should I wear?

This one?

I'm going out with Piya... Need to wear something...

- Look here! - Wear whatever you want.

Stop irritating me.

What's wrong?

Mom and Dad want to get me married off once my treatment is over.

They just want to do away with me.

They are already looking for suitors.

What about Sourav?

He'll just find a new student.

And it's not his fault.

It's not that I said I love him or something like that.

He probably thinks I'm having a fling with him.

Just a temporary infatuation.

But you'll have to tell him it's not true.

Are you crazy?

I'll tell him?

Yeah... If you don't tell him now, you'll regret it all your life.

Nope, I can't do it.

But you can do it.

Please don't keep Piya hanging for too long.

She needs to know that you like her.

Please practice what you preach. Or don't talk.

Think of the devil...

Your girlfriend is calling.

No point answering it.

If I have to go on a date, I have to be a man... Like that guy.

Have you seen his beard.

I think I'll shave for the date.

You don't have enough facial hair to shave.

Now what?

Now, to become a rockstar...

You have to look like a rockstar.

Do you want me to look like Ranbir Kapoor?

- Apu at the piercing gun point. - How can you record this?

Aunty will kill me.

She'll kill me first.

- Please be careful. - She won't kill you before your exams.

Don't know about later.

Please forgive us... We're very sorry, aunty.

We're sorry. We're piercing only one ear.

Sorry, Aunty. Not sorry.

I'm was excited about what aunty is going to do when she finds out.

Shut up!

- It won't hurt, right? - It won't hurt at all.

- Wait. - Steady, bro...

- Hold still. - Be careful.

What have you done, Apu?

You didn't think even once before piercing...

Which family you belong to.

What will your father say?

The son we've worked so hard to bring up...

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Just die.

The black sheep of the family.

I'll tell your father everything today.

- Khukhu, please come in. - No, I've to talk to you.

Is everything okay?

If everything was okay, I wouldn't have bothered you.

I don't want your son to spoil my son anymore.

Why? What happened?

Ribhu! Debu! Come here!

What did you do to Apu?

We didn't do anything.

They have pierced my son's ears.

And he is wearing a earing like a girl.

Is it true?

I mean it's true.

Mom, I didn't do anything.

Please excuse us. I have to talk to my boys.

- Bye. - Sorry.

- What did you do? - Mom, I swear I didn't do anything.

It was Durga's idea... We didn't do anything.

- Who is Durga? - It wasn't us.

- But Durga said... - Let your dad come today...

I have hear complaints about you all the time..

I don't have a moment's peace.

Yeah, tell me...

Do you have any idea what Apu is doing these days?

He is going out of control.

What did he do now?

I can't explain everything over the phone.

I can't do this on my own.

What else do you have to do in life?

You can't even take care of your own son.

I do everything a mother needs to do okay.

There's nothing more I can do.

A young boy needs his father.

How will I bring him up by myself?

And who will earn the money?

Do you have any idea how I manage everything?

All my troubles start with Durga.

What has he done?

He's always chatting back. He doesn't obey me.

He's got his ear pierced.

And he's wearing one earring too.

Can you imagine?

What is Durga's fault?

I don't want to hear anything.

I don't want any excuse. Send her back to Delhi right now.

I can't say that.

Your son needs discipline in his life.

On;y I know what I'm going through.

I can't do this anymore.

You're very weak in chemistry still, aren't you?

Say it already.

Durga is helping me but I'm still scared.

What if she slaps me if I tell her?

I've noticed.

Durga has really helped you grow up.

I don't think he has the guts to do it.

Yeah, she's kind of my best friend.

Give me a sign that you like me.

How will I propose otherwise?

My dad helps me with chemistry.

That's what dads should do.

Moms help with other things.

This is your last chance. Tell me if you like me.

Let's say, if I want to tell you...

But you've to know. Knowing is very important.

Don't think it'll be possible for you.

I'll give you one last chance. If you don't propose...

Hey, my mom's here.

Okay.

Why can't I say it?

- Are you free in the evening? - I'm free... Completely free...

Do you want to go for a movie?

Movie?

- Is there a problem? - No, there's no problem.

I'll come running.

- Okay. I'll see you later then. - Okay. See you.

Bye...

I'll get into the romantic hero mood and just blow her away.

What happened now?

You never have time for me.

I can't talk to you right now. I told you I've a lot of work.

You should think about me too.

I've been in Calcutta for so long.

You didn't call me or bother to leave me a text.

I didn't get any time.

What kind of a relationship is this, Sourav?

Aren't you a little too busy?>

But I am busy.

I miss you.

Please don't behave like a kid.

I'll talk to you later.

Listen to me.

Piya is in a different level.

She is constantly friendzoning me.

One moment she will say we're friends.

Next moment she'll say, let's go for a movie.

I just don't get it.

Why are you boring me with the details?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Or is it your new habit to bug me?

I was confused... That's why I asked you.

Why don't you ask Piya what to do?

You seem to hang out with her all day.

Just ask her what to do.

Why are you being so possessive?

What?

Do you know what I have to deal with because of you?

- Your mom... - She's in the next room...

She told my mom that you pierced your ear because of me.

And I got a scolding for that.

Waht else did she say?

Basically, I'm ruining your life.

I've wasted my life.

But if you want to waste your life, do it yourself.

I can't take your responsibilty.

I was just trying to help you.

Now, it's upto you what you want to do.

Simple.

- Give me my phone back... - Just one second.

Apu, my phone...

Hello.

Yes.

Piya?

Yeah.

Are you free?

I can't come for the movie today? How about tomorrow?

What are you doing?

Tomorrow is okay.

I have some urgent work today.

Yeah. Not a problem.

Okay. See you later.

Bye.

Done.

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you cancel plans with her?

You won't get another chance like this.

- Call her back. - Listen to me.

If it's meant to be it'll happen. I can't work so hard.

Romance and all that can be there but best friends come first.

What do you mean?

It means today is BFF's movie outing.

Okay? Now get ready.

Where are we going?

I said I'm sorry.

We've money. Let's go watch a film. Wait a second.

Have you taken your meds?

- You haven't right? - Please...

- Apu, seriously... - And you haven't been taking them.

You have to take your pills right now.

Come on.

Happy?

You should at least change your t-shirt.

Otherwise people might think I have bad taste in friends.

Are we seriously watching this film?

Please keep quiet and watch the film.

- What's your problem? - It's okay.

Do you want to complaint? Please go ahead.

- He's still not answering his phone? - Don't worry about it.

I'll tell you two things.

Piya is not committing, right?

She likes you.

But since you're stepping up, she's not showing it.

But she's not saying anything either.

That's her ego.

You'll have to do all the talking.

It won't work if anybody else talks.

And another thing is, do you want to do music seriously?

Do you want to perform at the Gaanwala Festival?

I want to obviously but...

It's a distant dream now.

You have to talk to your parents about it.

At the end of the day, you're the one who will have to talk to them.

So, grow up, baby.

I can only tell you what to do.

But you'll have to do it.

Be that your girlfriend, parents or music...

Or performing at Gaanwala.

Nothing's really easy.

It's part of growing up.

Okay, fine.

You'll also have to tell your parents that you want to marry Sourav.

And you don't want to get into the arranged marriage thing.

You will have to talk about that too.

- No. - Why?

because you're the only one I can talk to.

And I'll do the rest.

My parents don't really care.

This is wrong. You're taking a short cut.

You'll have to face it sooner or later.

Shut up, you idiot.

Don't be so stressed all the time.

As I always say, don't give up so easily, my friend.

It looks like I'll have to get you married and throw your child's first birthday too.

Hey, it's 5 o'clock. We should get back.

Wait a minute.

- Can I have these for Rs. 100? - Yes.

- Here you go. Thank you. - Thank you.

I have something...

Balloon...

Wait a second.

Balloon.

Tie this up.

You know what?

Grandpa told me if he wasn't around...

...if I wanted to ask him something...

...I could just write and send it. He would tell me what to do.

Here.

Tightly...

What did you write?

I hope sourav finds the time to call me.

Now who's the idiot?

There's nothing idiotic about this.

Apu!

Hello.

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah...

Okay.

Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

Apu.

Apu!

Take that disgusting thing off your ear.

I can't even look at you, you idiot!

I've called my brother.

I've booked a flight to Delhi for tomorrow.

You don't have to talk to her anymore.

Enough is enough.

All sorts of rubbish.

You want to play the guitar?

You will sing in functions?

Forget about all this permanently.

Hi, Sourav. Look...

I think you already know this...

I think it's really important for me to see this for you.

Otherwise I know I'll really regret it forever.

I love you and...

People I've loved have always let me down.

I think you...

Okay.

Yeah, hi.

I really have to talk. Please don't disconnect.

Please listen to me. It's urgent.

Who is this?

Hello?

Yes. Hello?

Is this Sourav's number?

Yes, it is.

But he's not home.

You can leave a message with me. I'm his wife.

Please hold the line.

Rina, get the door.

What?

What did you say your name is?

What?

What?

Hi.

Can I just talk to you for some time?

Your parents will always be there for you.

There's no guarantee in any other relationship.

Your parents will never abandon you.

I had no idea what happened there.

Hello, baby?

Mom...

Mom, listen to me.

What?

Are you feeling depressed?

Call Dr. Chowdhury.

Tell him to change the medicines.

No! I don't need medicines.

I want you.

Why is it so hard to understand?

Mom, please listen to me.

Please...

What?

Hello.

Durga, the network is really bad here.

I'm calling you in 10 minutes.

No, talk to me now.

Hello, Durga...

Hello...

What happened? Where are you going?

Why are you crying, darling?

Khuku... Khuku!

Khuku!

Apu, please check.

Khuku!

- What happened Granny? - Durga went somewhere crying.

- What happened to her? - Why was she crying?

Don't know but she was crying a lot.

She even threw away her phone before leaving.

- Where is her phone? - On the terrace.

Durga has left.

What do you mean?

Granny said she threw away her phone and just left.

Where did she go?

- I don't know. - What?

She was crying... Come fast... Let's go...

Take the next left.

Where could she go?

How will we find her?

Marrying you was the worst mistake of my life.

Mom, please don't leave.

At least, stay for me, please.

Mom...

Have you seen a tall girl with curly hair?

Careful!

Have you seen a girl with curly hair, really tall?

I was hanging out in a construction site.

I'll do whatever I have to. My parents don't really care.

Dad, I know where she might go. Come on.

- Where is he going? - Come with me.

I'm very sorry.

The fall was too high. There was nothing we could do.

Please forget me

My name Who I was

Please forget me

My name Who I was

Everything I got without asking

Don't ask me to return it

Everything I gave you

Don't put a price on it

Please forget me

If you love me

Then come a little closer

Don't mind me

You can throw me away

If you love me

Then come a little closer

Don't mind me

You can throw me away

Everything I got without asking

Don't ask me to return it

Everything I gave you

Don't put a price on it

Please forget me

My name Who I was

Please forget me

My name Who I was

She was fine. What came over her?

She didn't listen to anyone.

She ended her life because her relationship ended.

She didn't spare a thought for her parents.

But yor brother and his wife are also responsible.

They are too busy fighting and divorcing... They had no time for her.

They knew what their daughter was doing.

Do we know what our son is doing?

I know very well that my son is not doing anything.

Ignorance is bliss.

This generation is like this.

They have no responsibility.

Their entire life is about social media.

All they care about is "I".

It's better not to talk about something you don't know.

What don't I know?

You don't know about your kids.

You don't know about the times.

You don't even know how to live.

You are only concerned about what people will say.

Have you ever tried to listen to us?

Apu, shut up.

I want to hear what he has to say.

I've brought him up for 16 years.

I should know the result.

Please tell us where we went wrong.

You haven't done us a favour by bringing us up.

Did we ask you to give birth to us?

We didn't. Want to know why?

Because you wanted to be parents and have a family.

It wasn't our wish.

- That's why it's on you... - Apu!

Don't forget you are speaking to your father.

You're not a grown up just because you've pierced your ear and you smoke.

I don't smoke.

No point lying now.

You're all grown up now, aren't you?

You must have integrity to be an adult.

You can't have double standards.

Got it?

Something in front of parents and completely different outside.

Are you talking about yourself or me?

Apu!

Wait, Mom.

Dad is giving me a lecture on integrity.

But does he have the courage to tell the truth?

We all know that you drink.

And you hide cigarettes in that drawer.

I've seen it.

Okay. Keep quiet.

I'm not dumb like you that I'll smoke.

Enough...

You've already assumed that I smoke.

That's how little you trust your own son.

You quit 4 years back but you still smoke one cigerette before you come home.

Do you have the courage to tell the truth?

They have demoted you in office.

We know.

Everyone knows.

There's nothing to be ashamed about.

After demonitisation, a lot of people have lost their jobs.

But do you have the courage to tell us?

Can you tell Mom and Granny that you're in debt?

Can you?

Who are you showing off your status to?

If you've forgotten the meaning of integrity, please google.

I'm learning everything from you.

Apu, please be quiet.

If I don't perform well in this exam, I won't be able to study science.

That would mean I won't be able to go to IIT. But what's the point?

You won't be able to show off that your son goes to IIT.

Who are you doing it for?

Are you doing it for me or for your fake society?

What do you want me to say?

- It's okay. - Yes, I've been demoted.

You don't need to tell him anything.

My company thinks I'm too old for this job.

And in this age of technology, we'll not be able to cope that's why...

- They have sent me to sales. - That's enough.

What is the point of telling you this?

I travel in local trains. I stay at cheap motels.

Do you know why I didn't tell you?

You would have been worried.

That would be a stress on me.

If you study in IIT, you'll get a good job.

- I don't want to show off. - Please don't shout.

The neighbours can hear you. Shut up.

I don't want...

I don't want you to face the same struggles as me.

As parents we want a good life for you.

My career is my decision.

Maybe I'll do music, may be I fail but that's my choice.

What have you gained working all these years?

You are still suffering at this age.

Why are you giving me lectures? I don't want your life.

You want to be a musician or an engineer or nothing is your choice.

It's fine.

If you become an engineer I can help you get a job.

I don't know anyone in the music industry.

And you can't become a star just because you can sing well.

You need luck for that.

I'll deal with it.

As parents, we can guide you in the right direction.

That's what we're doing.

We don't want you to suffer.

Just keep one thing in mind.

At your age...

If you can write one song or impress one girl...

It seems life is perfect.

But it's not perfect.

Don't say anything.

With age, your problems will increase.

- You haven't seen anything yet. - Please calm down.

Your problem is that you can only talk. You don't listen.

If her parents listened to her may be Durga would still be alive.

What do you mean?

It's okay. Please calm down.

- What do you mean by it? - It's fine.

- You've been talking... - But you're jsut waiting to talk.

That's not hearing.

Just don't.

Just because you have Google you think you know everything.

You know nothing.

If parents don't control thir kids, they turn out like Durga.

But the solution is not to be a prisoner at home.

Do you know what happens when you try to control too much?

I've pierced my ears.

I've partied on the terrace without mom knowing.

I've written a song and I'll perform that today.

This is what happens when you try to control people.

That was under Durga's influence.

Durga was spoilt me?

She is the best thing that ever happened to me.

- She taught me how to live. - Shut up.

Lower your voice.

Don't get so agitated. You'll fall ill.

Hey!

- Where are you going? - He's not going anywhere.

- Put the guitar down. - He won't go.

- The Gaanwala fest is happening today. - You won't go.

- I'll have to perform for Durga! - You will not leave!

- Let him go. - There's a limit to my patience, Apu.

Don't test my patience. Put the guitar down.

- No, I won't. - Do as he says.

- I won't do it, Mom! - Calm down.

- Won't do it! - Your father is feeling unwell.

My music will not hamper my studies.

If you want, please come for the concert. All parents are invited.

You don't have to come if you don't want to. But I have to go.

I will perform and you can't stop me.

Okay.

The day you're financially independent we'll accept all your decisions.

Put that guitar away.

Sorry, Dad.

I can't obey you this time.

Get out of the house.

Please don't say this.

Get out!

Don't talk to him like this.

Get out of his sight now.

Calm down.

Sit and relax.

Sit here.

Why do you lose your temper like this?

Sit.

Apu...

Bye, Granny.

May God be with you.

Ready? All set?

Are you feeling nervous?

Don't worry. You'll be great.

I've been meaning to say something to you.

You don't have to say it now.

For now make Durga proud.

I'm right here.

Go.

Your son is exactly like you.

Have you forgotten?

How crazy you were about music at his age?

Please, Mom, I don't want to discuss it now.

Let him grow up on his own.

Have faith on him.

You've brought him up well.

He won't take a wrong step.

Don't stop him.

He'll perform on stage for the first time.

He'll be very hurt if his parents are not there to support him.

He'll be scared.

If I didn't stand by you, would you be able to take the stage?

Please go.

Stand by him.

It'll all be fine.

You and I are wondering The day has come to an end

Why didn't the little boy return home?

The lyrics are found The music follows

But I can't find what I'm looking for

We turn back and look At the paths we've crossed

But my heart doesn't want to come back home

I pondered all night

Last night I took the long way home

You and I are wondering Time is up

Why didn't the little boy wake up?

You and I are wondering Time is up

Why didn't the little boy wake up?

When sleep comes Some fairies follow

The moon shines bright But she's nowhere to be found

As the day breaks Sunlight comes streaming in

Why doesn't my heart wake up?

I pondered all night

Last night I took the long way home

You can imagine That I have stayed behind

You can imagine That I have stopped

I am more, I am less My days are all for you

I pondered all night

Last night...

After scoring 96% in board exams, I'm studying science.

But my parents didn't force me.

My Math is strong so I can give more time to music.

Meeting Piya, writing songs and all that.

Your format.

Get ready. The movie starts at 4 o'clock.

You guys are going on a movie date?

- Unbelievable! - Shut up and go to your class.

If everything works out then I might go to IIT.

Let's see. I'm preparing for the Joint Entrance Exam.

I'm doing music too.

Don't know if I'll pursue music as a career.

I've the rest of my life to figure it out.

Of course it's scary to think about the future.

But I like it too.

There's a strange kind of fun in not knowing.

Fear of the unknown.

And if nothing works out, you're there.

I've got a haircut that's why I'm looking a little better.

But I'm still an idiot.

But I can say for sure that I've grown up a little.

From Mom's Apu and Dad's Apu, I'm trying to be more me.

Don't know what will happen.

But no matter what happens, I won't give up easily, my friend.

Eternally yours, Apu.

You said I can't do anything

I don't know how to live In this black and white society

You said I can't do anything

I don't know how to live In this black and white society

You can't drive me away from you

It might not be true But you can lie to me

Open the window to your heart

You've just come into my life

Don't talk about leaving already

We might fight We might remain friends

With you

With you
