Original subtitles

According to Vedas, "Sound is supreme.

Till date...

I really never understood what it means.

But now I realise the wisdom of these words.

Sound cannot be seen or touched...

...or felt.

Yet everything that we see or feel around us...

...we express to others through sound.

I believe...

I believe that the right combination of sounds...

can have an everlasting impact...

...on the human body and mind."

These are the words of the ancient scientist Aghor Sen.

His main area of research was sound.

He invented an amazing machine 150 years ago.

I'm here today to tell you about that machine.

Aghor writes....

"Today, I am convinced.

That my machine can put any living being to sleep...

with the help of some primitive sounds."

No sleeping pills.

Only some special sounds can put a man to sleep for several years.

And he found proof.

Excuse me, Professor Nandy.

If someone wakes up after 150 years, would he be that many years older?

Certainly, in terms of time.

But not in terms of his mind and body.

-Excuse me. -Do you want to ask anything?

Yes.

Is this a kind of ultrasonic frequency?

Could you tell us how it works?

That is yet to be known.

The diary has some clues.

But that's not enough.

Moreover, the land of sleep is not known to us.

Maybe the device can give us a hint.

No, I don't have the device yet.

According to the diary, it is in Nischintipur.

In Aghor Sen's underground laboratory.

Hopefully it still works.

But how you are so sure that the device is still there?

For now, I can only rely on his diary.

I'm hoping to get the device soon.

Then we'll get to know how it works.

Mr. Bhootnath, from its deisgn or description--

Thanks.

It seems that the device could be used as an weapon.

What are your thoughts on this?

You're saying it could be misused?

Does the responsibility of a gadget rest on the inventor alone?

Or on the user too?

Yes, I agree.

But one still remains accountable, right?

The fear of misuse can't stop the scientific research.

And frankly speaking...

I believe atomic energy is a boon, not a bomb.

THE UNDERGROUND CHAMBER

Greetings.

How strange...

Quite unusual.

Bizarre!

You fraud!

It's a pencil bomb.

You baboon!

For the past six years you drained out a million...

just to show me this stupid sparkler?

-Six years? -Sparklers?

Shut up! How dare you talk back, jerk?

Madam, please spare me.

-Forgive me, ma'am... -This will just not do.

Yes, ma'am.

At this rate, we'll end up peddling gums and not guns.

Yes, ma'am.

-I need a master weapon. -Yes, ma'am.

One that doesn't needed too many to operate.

Yes, ma'am.

-One that's hassle-free to make. -Yes, ma'am.

-No heavy expenses. Yes, ma'am.

Gear it up to conquer countries and continents.

Yes, ma'am.

Check and checkmate.

-Checkmate! Checkmate! -Checkmate! Checkmate!

All kinds of criminals will fall at my feet.

Yes, ma'am.

-"Begum, we want to buy your weapons" -Yes, ma'am.

General Tekka wishes to meet the Begum.

-Ask him to come in. -Let him in.

(indistinct chatter)

-Wrestling with yourself? -Are you?

No, ma'am.

Found it.

Don't waste my time with useless weapons.

It's not a weapon. I have some news.

That's all you have after so many days?

You rheumatic ram!

"Today, I am convinced.

That my machine can put any living being to sleep...

...with the help of some primitive sounds."

No sleeping pills.

Only some special sounds can put a man to sleep for several years.

And he had found proof.

(radio playing)

(news on radio)

My goodness!

Stop it!

Can't you just play the song?

Switching to nonsense channels.

What are you doing?

Bishu needs it back at his shop by four p.m.

-Why? -India is playing today.

Match my foot...

He will pay 150 bucks.

You're my little genius!

I knew it.

My horoscope predicted monetary gain thanks to love ones.

-Who the hell left the door wide open? -What happened?

If I get robbed, I'll have you all arrested!

The cops will put you behind the bars!

Damn tenants!

Hey! Who are you?

-What do you want ? -Where does Kartik Bose live?

Right here on my head! Disgusting!

Banerjee starts bickering early in the morning. How annoying!

(indistinct chatter)

Where does Kartik Bose live?

Second floor, second room..

What a heartless man.

What's the big deal if we stay in this small room?

You said we haven't paid rent for 10 months.

Keep quiet.

You can't do anything properly!

As if it's my fault.

That lottery ticket could have cleared our dues and more.

I told you to bring ticket number 45444.

But you brought 45449! Worthless!

-Who's that? -I'm sure that's Banerjee.

Exactly as I feared.

-Tell him that I'm asleep. -Liar.

-You always lie after taking loans... -What the hell?

Don’t open the door if it's the moneylender.

What a frightful guy.

Someone's scratching his leg...

-It's not the moneylender. -Then who? Any scar on the face?

No.

Then Nani Aunty must have come for her money.

Hey! Don't open the door!

Who is it?

Does Kartik Bose lives here?

-That's me. -Who is it?

Good Lord! Finally!

What a chaotic place.

Who are you?

I am Gangacharan Sapui, BA LLB.

From Sapui and Sapui... Sapui and Sapui solicitors.

Are you a snake charmer?

No, I mean... Is there a snake or something in your bag?

-Father's name is Bholanath Bose. -Yes.

Mother's name, Gauri Bose.

Cousin sister Lakshmi Bose.

Cousin brother Ganesh Bose.

And the backyard buffalo is "Mahisasur" Bose.

No, I was just kidding.

-Keto, give him some water! He's coughing! -Yeah, yeah.

Granny wants the money for buttermilk.

Give this to her.

Found it! Found it!

Hold the papers of your house. Take a look of the documents.

Don't worry, this will help you.

So, what do you do?

I repair TV sets and radios.

A mechanic?

(radio playing)

But Mr. Snake Charmer-- I mean, Sapui.

What's this about?

You will get to know everything.

How are you related to Horolal Mitra of Nischintipur?

My uncle. But I have never seen him...

You have seen him but don't remember. But no matter.

Your uncle left his will with us before he died.

You mean Sapui and Sapui, Sapui and Sapui ....

Uncle, please stop.

His instructions were to give his property to his real heir.

He died without a child, so what to do?

I can't just hire one.

After a crazy search, I found you.

Me?

The whole house now belongs to Keto?

Sir, please have some milk. Here's some hot milk.

Horolal died leaving the will with us.

There was no rush...

That's right.

Recently, some random people have came to Nischintipur...

and started buying the old houses for millions.

Oh, millions. What! Millions?

They came to buy yours as well.

-Oh! -This is the chance of a lifetime.

Sell yours too. Don't worry, I'll guide you.

Okay.

But why are they buying old houses?

Looking for ghosts.

Ghosts!

The whims of the rich.

Researching on ghosts.

Haunted house are being sold at a high price.

-Hey! Think you're real smart, huh? -Oh, that's nothing.

The scoundrels are ruining our house, Haren.

I asked for my money and they sent me legal notices!

-Then shall we finalise the deal? -Finalise...

-Let's go to Nischintipur for a few days... -Say no!

You can have their famous sweets and return with lots of money.

Let's get there and then we can...

Oh! So no deal now?

-No. -Oh!

(radio playing)

Bye then.

(radio playing)

(indistinct chatter)

(humming)

(singing)

"Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall."

Welcome, Mr.Bhootnath.

Welcome.

Who are you?

We have some...

business with you.

Who are you?

Do you ever heard of the Begum?

What do you want?

A bit of help, sir.

Come to the point.

We want the weapon.

-What weapon? -Oh really?

The one you mentioned in the seminar.

The sleep machine.

I even don't know where it is.

Very well.

Let's look for it.

Together.

How could you expect that?

Duggi.

Take a look.

Just a second.

How dare you?

(indistinct yelling)

-Nehla! -Yes, boss?

Tell him.

That his friend used his formula to make an...

-Earthquake bomb. -...for us.

Does he get that?

Got it, Professor?

Salil Dutta?

Salil fled from the laboratory a year ago.

But I never thought he took these documents....

You've been working with us for a year now.

At least, that's what the documents say.

You are designing illegal weapons for us.

If this information gets leaked, your carrier will get ruined.

Wait for further instructions.

If you inform the police, your photo will out in the papers and...

Game over.

Hey! Golam!

Nischintipur, 3rd August, 1858.

Some strange things happened in the last few days.

So I didn't get time to make dairy entries.

Today it's time to write them down.

My aunt's prayer room was infested with mice.

Aunt didn’t want them killed as mice are Lord Ganesha's mascot.

So I tried to sedate them and...

I think I've invented an extraordinary machine.

Last Tuesday, Chang aimed my gadget at a crow.

And it immediately put the crow to sleep.

Yesterday, after a week's slumber, he awoke and was cawing away as usual.

Today, I am convinced.

That my machine can put any living being to sleep for a long time...

...with the help of some primitive sounds.

Next, I'll try it on my cat with a higher frequency.....

...and observe how long he sleeps for.

For last few days, Waikiki been pretty restless.

He has heard strange sounds on my wireless set in the underground chamber.

He believes the sounds are from another planet.

I can't overrule his exceptional Native American auditory instincts.

My Chinese assistant however, isn't bothered at all.

Chang loves machines.

F-sharp...

F-sharp...

They will be the end of me!

Rats are eating the bottle gourd in the garden.

Are you waiting for them to eat us too?

Just wait and watch, Aunty.

They'll all go into hibernation.

Huh! As if!

You are struggling with machines to put few rats to sleep.

If I'd asked the witch-doctor instead, he would have done it in seconds.

-Here, your master weapon. -Don't give me all that.

I asked you so many times to get married.

To settle down.

But you got hold of a couple of jokers!

Huh! That's supposed to be a greeting?

(vocalising)

Spends all day with these bottles and machines...

-F-sharp... -I'm so fed up.

What do you keep doing all day--

Please sing. I'll play.

You're always busy doing nonsense in this underground chamber.

-Be careful... -Oh my!

My gout is killing me...

(vocalising)

You stay here with your machines. I'm going to Kashi.

Why do you get angry Aunty When the machines start dancing?

Every machine runs On the power of science

Miracles happen

Miracles! Miracles!

In our underground chamber

The machines are dancing

The force of water Spins the fan

The force of water Spins the fan

The wheel runs To keep the room lit

Flip and flap

Oh the wheel

The force of water Spins the fan

The wheel runs To keep the room lit

Science is showing Its wonders everywhere

Miracles happen

Miracles! Miracles!

In our underground chamber

The machines are dancing

Colourful water, books and jars

The math of the moon and stars

Colourful water, books and jars

The math of the moon and stars

My sleeping gadget Is a miracle of science

-A miracle of science -A miracle of science

Miracles happen

Miracles! Miracles!

In our underground chamber

Why do you get angry Aunty When the machines start dancing?

It's Vik from planet Earth, sir.

It's Vik...897321XBCZT.

Hello? Hello? Nyapcha?

What is it now?

I've found a gadget.

A hatchet?

Not hatchet. A gadget.

A sleeping gadget.

So what?

If I bring it, will you take me back?

What?

I mean, everyone in Nyapcha suffers from insomnia, so...

If you try to come back, I'll break your legs.

Worthless fellow!

Nyapcha...

There it is.

It's back.

There it is again.

Aghor! What an ill-omen!

Oh Heavens! It's the apocalypse!

I knew this would happen!

Dooms Day!

Lord Krishna's sword is coming at us!

For last three days, it's been hovering over us.

You had to pull it down on us?

Your machines won't save us now.

Oh Lord, forgive me.

I'll never ask for a mouse-trap again.

Please take back your sword.

(chanting)

The tin-ghost is circling over our heads!

(chanting)

My God!

-All hail the goddess! -All hail the goddess!

Hello, sir.

What news, Shyama?

It's useless to loot the royal palace of Murgihata.

The mutiny sepoys have swiped all the treasure.

Imbecile!

-No wealth in the palace. -None.

-No gold with goldsmiths. -None.

-No grain in the barns. -None.

But tomorrow on new moon night, we have to loot something.

How about we look up try Aghor Sen's house, sir?

-Who? -The one who dabbles in machines.

-Oh really? -I've heard he has a lot of money.

Is it so?

Yes, sir.

He buys diamond, pearls and gold.

-I'm sure he has a mint at home. -Is it?

Shyama, tell sir.

Sir, he counts his guineas all night.

He tells his aunt that he has something very unique.

Excellent.

Tomorrow Aghor pays us taxes.

But he has ghosts.

To guard his house.

Do you know that, Priest?

I've heard rumours too.

To hell with your rumours!

He has two lackeys. But they aren't human, Boss.

I've seen one grow as tall as the moon in the evening.

And the other's no hair.

That man's got a tin ghost too.

It hovers in the sky.

Sh-Shut up... Shut up!

Is it true that he has a mint ?

-Yes sir. -Alright.

-All hail the Goddess! -All hail the Goddess!

I told you my Arthritis pills are affecting my memory.

Stop with your music! Can't you see we're arguing?

I wanted Krishna's role but you didn't listen.

You won't always get what you want.

Where's Putna?

Put it over your ears.

-Bhoja, do you remember the lines? -Yes.

Say, "Aha, a baby like a blossom."

Aha... Aha...

Yes, go on. Keep trying, you can do it.

Blossom... Blossom... Yes, keep going.

Don't be nervous.

He can do it.

Now try.

Blossom.

Nonsense!

He will take a long time.

Why don't you finish my scene first?

I have to open my shop also.

Try, you got this.

Let's do the Kangsa's scene first.

What?

-Is this play a joke? -Don't make a scene.

Fine! I don't cares.

Bhoja, you are off. We will do yours tomorrow.

Say your lines.

"Your nemesis is growing up in Gokul."

Oh my! Look at him!

Hey, don't ruin the food.

Good God!

"Your nemesis is growing up in Gokul.

Beware! Beware!

-Beware!" -Is he acting or playing football?

"...growing up in Gokul."

Hey.

Hey!

This is the place.

"Whose voices do I hear? Whose--"

-Who are you? -I'm Subuddhi Roy.

-Who? -Is this Kusum Kunj?

Is this Kusum Kunj?

-Yes. -Thank God.

But the deal was that the house will be sold after the festival.

We will not sell our house. We will stay here.

He is the owner of this house.

Did the witch-doctor send you?

They're also talking about ghosts, Keto.

The lawyer said this is our house.

Which lawyer?

But we always thought this house...

-Had no heir? -Exactly.

That's not true. The snake charmer gave it away.

-The snake charmer? -Who?

Here, we have the deed.

-Let me see. -Take a look.

It's written on the front page.

What's your name?

I'm Subuddhi Roy and this is my nephew, Kartik Bose.

-Oh. -And you?

-We are locals here. -Yes.

Putting up a play for the Durga festival.

We hold rehearsals in this vacant house.

Very good.

Now that you're here, we can rehearse somewhere else...

No, no. Why will you leave?

-You'll be living here. -So?

-We don't want to bother you. -We won't have a problem.

Keto, go get our bags.

(indistinct chatter)

These are binoculars, not a soda bottle.

Oh!

(indistinct chatter)

So lively.

(indistinct chatter)

(indistinct chatter)

These are all back dated plays. These won't work.

Theatre is a serious thing.

In the city, I used to act and direct the plays.

Your play is too out dated.

But we have been working on it for a long time so changing it now...

Siraj-ud-Daulah! Heard of him?

The name sounds familiar.

I know I've heard it somewhere...

Sit down.

He was related to grand daughter-in-law of Bahadur Shah.

The ruler of Bengal who was killed.

Mir Jafar! Yes, yes. Mir Jafar had killed him.

Mohammed Ibaig killed him with a dagger.

"Linping Lang!"

Stop your gibberish.

Show me what weapons you have brought.

If I like it, I will pay for it.

The Big Battle Box.

Start talking.

All you do is give a box each to your soldiers.

You will win the battle.

This box has everything. Guns, bombs, bedrooms, bathrooms...

She smiled!

The Big Battle Box!

For God's sake, fire the damn gun.

Quickly! Quickly!

The Big Battle Box.

Begum!

Throw them out! I will feed them to the lions!

Please calm down, ma'am.

I don't obey you!

Broke everything...

This is what I get for spending tons of money?

-Stop! -Catch him!

Is Tekka back?

Is he back or not?

He isn't. I knew it.

Spouted nonsense about a sleep machine and disappeared!

Remember if I don't get that device, I won't let anyone sleep a wink!

Connect me to Nischintipur.

"No, Your Highness, no.

My dreams have been shattered by the cries of the people of Bengal."

The cries of the people of Bengal...

"This throne brings no more pleasure."

(indistinct)

"There is only misfortunes in Bengal's fate today."

Hello! Hello! Operation Sleep.

Hello! Tuning in... Nischintipur.

Hello! Operation Sleep. Hello! Tuning in to Nischintipur.

What's happening, Uncle?

Silly detective plays.

Go to sleep.

Begum here.

How long will you loiter around?

Your Highness.

Work was going on well.

The Doctor had just one more house to go.

-In Kusum Kunj. -Where's the weapon?

Just one more week.

Where's that idiot doctor?

Uh, he is...

If needed we will get the house vacated.

Or else I will play football with your heads.

Goal...

This isn't a play.

They are talking about Nischintipur.

About our house.

Uncle.

Hey, Uncle!

(singing)

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Beautiful village, isn't it?

No worries in Nischintipur.

(singing)

Oh no!

-Hey, Keto, look at this. -What?

What's this? Are they all blind?

Uncle!

All hail the Lord. Vegetables from my Garden, Gobindo.

Keep them in my balcony.

Let's go.

Are you new to this village?

-Yes, that's the house. -Yesterday.

Guessed as much.

Or you wouldn't have looked at me and walked with me.

That's what I want to know. What's going on?

The villagers are fumbling about as if they're blind.

Didn't you hear me?

You can search from Kashi to Gaya.

But you won't find a more inauspicious man.

-Inauspicious man? -Huh?

Harbinger of bad luck.

Nobody wants to see my face in the morning--

So they shut their eyes and run home?

Good! He is a bright boy.

-Brother? -Nephew.

What about those vegetables?

That's my fees.

I am blessed with a client or two.

Oh. Are you a lawyer as well?

-Didn't you understand? -No.

Have a grudge against someone? Want someone to suffer?

Just show them my face and they'll be doomed for a week.

You're a walking hazard!

Dangerous!

Just a glimpse of my whiskers and you're damned.

And you are?

Subuddhi Roy.

My nephew, Kartik Bose.

Just moved here.

I am Gobindo the Inauspicious.

No surname?

I used to have one.

It's 'Biswas'.

But with time, I became Mr. Inauspicious.

You can call it a surname or a nickname.

-Uncle, move! -Keto!

-Uncle! -You shouldn't have seen my face.

What the hell? You almost run me over!

-Sell your house. -Huh? What do you mean?

"Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after."

What Jack and Jill?

You have to days.

Sell us your house and get lost.

No.

-Two days. -We won't sell the house.

Oh my God!

"If you look at me by chance..." I knew it!

No, no. Don't look at me.

Tell me if you need any help. I don't take fees from neighbours.

Okay, bye.

-"You can search from Kashi to Gaya..." -All hail the Lord!

(indistinct chatter)

"Flee?"

"You ask me to flee?

Me, flee?

You expect me to flee?"

-"What of my kingdom, Mir Qasim?" -What of my kingdom, Mir Qasim?

Mir Qasim! Right, right.

What of my kingdom, Mir Qasim?

Your lines, "Mir Qasim!"

He's worthless!

-Say your lines, dammit! -"You first have to to take our land--"

"A smidgen of our land."

-"A smidgen of our land." -I give up.

I just got a new set of dentures.

-To hell with that! -Idiot!

(indistinct yelling)

-Just give him that role instead. -Oh, yes!

Uncle! You play the role of Mohammad Ibaig.

Who is Mohammad Ibaig?

It's a small role. You can easily memorise the lines.

Just knife Siraj-ud-Daulah in the last scene.

-That's all. -Can't do it.

I can't stab anyone at my age.

-Why not? It's just a play... -Impossible...

Kanu! My dear Kanu!

You've played a villain before.

And an epic villain.

-Then why don't you take this role? -What role?

The role of Mohammad Ibaig.

Are you crazy?

I can't be a villain who murders.

Can I do it?

-Who's that? -You'll play a dead soldier.

Get out!

(indistinct chatter)

Hey! Look in front.

There he goes.

How about your nephew, Subuddhi?

-Keto? -Yes.

He's too thin. Looks like a potato on a stick!

Won't suit the character of Mohammad Ibaig.

He can only play the princess.

-Look this is no good. -Right.

If we don't find someone suitable, let's think of another play.

-Change the play again? No way! -No need, hear me out.

-I'll find the perfect Mohammad Ibaig. -How?

If not, I'll play the role myself.

You will murder and get murdered?

-That won't do. -It'll be okay.

How?

Can you play this?

Ricket-rocket, pond a picket, Ghoul a googly.

Just stop singing.

Please stop.

I can play any role You want me to

I can play any role You want me to

Keto, did you get the prawn?

He's a powerhouse!

What happened? How did you get hurt?

These are crude village roads.

He's probably not used to riding the bicycle in the dark.

So he fell....

-Move! -It's okay, I'm not hurt.

-Make way. -Leave me, I'm fine.

-What happened? -No need to worry...

He fell off his cycle.

-I'm alright. -You shouldn't ride in the dark, son.

-This must be your bag. -Thank you.

Don't worry, he'll be fine...

Bring him to me. I'll give him a tetanus shot.

You might give him the wrong pills by mistake.

Idiot!

-Who are you? -I'm Bhootnath Nandy.

-I'm new here. -Oh.

-I'm Subuddhi Roy. I'm also new here. -Hello.

Just got here recently.

That's my nephew.. If you weren't there...

-Tea? Milk? -No, thanks.

He is Dr. Bhola. He is Samaj Mitra.

He is...

-Bhootnath Nandy. -Right. He's new to the village.

Mohammad Ibaig...

Oh yes, do you act? Will you act in our play?

-Me? No way! -You can do it.

Impossible. I'm not cut out for it.

I should get going.

-Bye, Kartik. You're leaving?

For today.

-Please come again. -Of course, I'll come to see you.

Remember to be careful, okay?

Be smart and don't be afraid.

If you need anything--

(indistinct chatter)

Bhootnath?

Samaj Grandpa says these sculptures have been here since when he was a kid.

Bravo!

(humming)

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and lives no foot falls.

Those who tread the middle path, Will solve the puzzle.

-Hey, ghost-doctor. -Yes, sir?

"Those who tread the middle path..."

Let's see your pretty face.

So, what did you tell the boy?

Told him to be smart and to be brave.

Pearls of wisdom.

And what about breaking into that house?

Let me deal with that.

If you cross the line, you will suffer.

What will you get by scaring a little boy?

A lot. We'll get a lot out of it!

Where's the weapon?

In the underground chamber.

-When will you open it? -After I crack the riddle.

Then crack it!

What the hell!

You'll know your place when you get a taste of Begum's whip.

-Hey, let it go. -Trying to override me, huh?

I am Tekka!

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls."

Let it go.

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls."

(indistinct yelling)

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls."

Rolly-Polly eight little dolls...

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls."

Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls...

Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls...

Worthless!

Who's there?

If you haven't solve the riddle yet...

Who is it?

You don't deserve the gadget.

Who's there? Come out.

-Who's there? -It's me, Aghor Sen.

Good Lord!

Why do you look like you saw a ghost?

Feeling scared?

Yes...a little bit.

Rubbish!

You call yourself a scientist?

What's so scary?

Do you freak out...

when you listen to songs by a dead person or see their pictures?

But that's only an impression.

Understand science properly.

Then you'll understand the spirit world.

They're impressions too.

The faint past.

Suffering the results of counting your chickens before they've hatched.

Yes.

(vocalising)

You haven't suffered the worst yet.

What do you mean?

Vik...

It'll be hell when he wakes up.

Vik?

Who is Vik?

Idiot! Don't even know him?

-How would I know? -Why?

There is nothing in about it in your diary. It ends right here.

Oh.

I didn't write it?

Vik...is from another planet.

It was a new moon night.

Everything went Topsy-turvy that night.

If I was alive, I'd still get goose bumps.

I had just sat down for dinner.

That's when I heard the robbers' cries!

The skies lit up with a flaming red.

I saw from my balcony...

Madhai's bandits had broken the main gate.

Waikiki on the other hand...

had climbed up to the terrace.

With a fish net tied to his waist.

Bandits entered our house.

Chang tip-toed through the darkness.

My gadget? Where is my gadget?

I was lightning struck when I remembered...

that it's in the underground chamber.

And that's where...

...my aunt was.

Meanwhile, Madhai was hollering at me.

"Aghor, hand over your minting machine. Or we will kill you all"

He really thought I had a minting machine!

Then suddenly...

Waikiki threw his net...

...over the bandits.

All except Madhai and two more got caught in the net.

Chang jumped into the courtyard...

...with a sword in hand.

At that very moment...

the backdoor opened with a slam and in came Vik.

A bandit screamed out.

"That's the old man's tin-ghost!"

Vik took out something.

It looked like a water pistol. The moment he pressed the switch...

The courtyard was filled with a red light.

Madhai and his robbers vanished into thin air.

Everyone disappeared.

Vanished!

Then? What happened then?

I'd lost my mind.

I grabbed a lantern...

...and ran towards Vik.

Vik also aimed his weapon at me.

Suddenly, I heard my gadget play.

It sounded so magical that night.

Vik went quiet for a moment before he collapsed...

...and fell asleep.

I turned around to see my aunt weilding my gadget.

Has Vik woken up yet?

Any time now.

He might ravage Nischintipur till he finds the gadget.

He has brawn, but no brains.

What should I do now?

Use your brains and fight.

If you can, hand Vik over to Planet Nyapcha.

He's a piece of trash.

It's time for me to go.

I'm late.

I've to attend Archimedes' lecture at the Science Council.

-And then Newton. -Wait--

Where can I find Archimedes.., I mean, Vik?

I'd left him by the marshes.

in the Nilkuthi Forest.

(humming)

Nice.

You know, Bhootnath, this place is haunted.

What?

Don't you know?

"The bandit spooks." They sacrifice goats as offering on new moon nights.

Is it so?

Goats have ghosts too?

I swear it's true.

They'd once come for tea to Potol's tea stall.

When asked to pay, they just cackled and vanished!

Really?

And what happened to Potol?

I've read many ghost stories.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Hocus, pocus, bogus Abracadabra!

See?

How did you do that?

If you're aware, it's just a magnet. Or else, it's a ghost.

Last night, an old man in a white robe appeared.

He had a big mustache, a long beard and ragged hair.

-You know what he said? -What?

He said that if you believe in science...

then ghosts are a kind of impression.

Prescription?

What?

A prescription?

Do you know how many ghosts haunt Nischintipur?

How many?

Millions and billions!

Who told you that?

You don't know anything.

Some people are buying old houses to research on ghosts.

A ghost-doctor has come to the village too.

And he came with four men.

-Who? -Bad guys.

Don't you know? That black car is theirs.

How did you know?

They came to buy our house.

-They gave us two days to vacate. -Is it?

There are many ghosts in our house so it's selling at a high price.

Have you seen the ghost-doctor?

He is invisible.

Why?

Is he ghost too?

No! But he wears a cape and wanders around at night.

-A cape? -He is this tall!

He holds a candle in one hand and a telescope in the other.

Telescope?

Yes.

Doctor Grandpa saw him when he was outside smoking a joint.

I found a riddle.

Let's see if you can solve it.

Riddle?

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls.

Those who tread the middle path, Will solve the puzzle.

Here's a conch and here's a ring, Those who seek will find the thing.

Step on the lotus, To get to the underground chamber."

What do you think?

Why the lotus?

Because it's the flower of Paradise.

-Do you know what the riddle means? -No.

Bhootnath, what is in the underground chamber?

Hidden treasures?

Something even more precious.

It's about 150 years old.

An amazing sleep machine.

(humming)

I think the ghost-doctor is looking for that machine.

Ghosts aren't real, right?

Maybe.

But it's not just him. Everyone is secretly looking for it.

Kings, queens, barons, counts... You, me, Vik from Nyapcha... Everyone.

Vik from what?

Nyapcha.

Which country is that?

What if I say it's not on Earth?

Impossible!

Do you trust me, Kartik?

That old man in the white robe told me.

He said that Vik is from Planet Nyapcha.

He came to look for the sleeping gadget but fell asleep himself.

How did the old man know?

He knows everything.

Who is he?

Aghor Sen.

My head feels heavy.

It's bound to. You slept for 15 long years.

I was asleep?

Sleep...

Does it...

Does it make you feel all fuzzy?

Yes. It's worse if you're a dimwit.

Who's the dimwit?

It's you, my dear.

What exactly happened?

Jog your memory and you'll remember.

I can't remember anything when I'm hungry.

My soul is parched for a bowl of "Larentharium" soup.

Glutton! Old habits die hard.

Yes, now I remember.

I remember!

I'd eaten something.

And...they threw me out.

Vik was thrown right out!

Straight from Nyapcha to Earth in his rickety space ship.

Shut up, you jerk from Nyapcha!

"Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top..." The old man's men threw him by the marsh.

Yes, they threw me...

Hoards of bats came charging at me in the old man's house.

A tune...

I felt dizzy and fell asleep.

The fool snored for 150 years.

But you just said 15 years.

On Earth, it's 150 years.

So confusing, 15 or... 150!

What's that? Looks so...

...delicious and twisted.

Twist and rack your brains like that or you'll be in trouble.

I've forgotten!

He thinks he can get away by putting me to sleep?

Before anything else, I'll yank that hag's head off

Don't start eating instead.

I will, you jacka**!

As if!

Isn't it tasty like a sweet?

Eat the powder from Nyapcha if you're hungry.

You eat powder! Disgusting creature!

Where are going dressed like that?

Why?

If you go out dressed like that, you'll be lynched.

Lynched?

Just take a look.

What's this?

Where is the old Shiva temple?

No... Where's that old banyan tree?

What happened?

Everything has changed in 150 years.

You'll go crazy trying to find the old man's house.

You have to find that sleep machine at any cost.

But Nyapcha doesn't want it.

So what? Once we get that gadget...

...everyone will be in our grip.

Just think about it.

Everyone will be asleep and you'll have all the food to yourself.

Greedy, weedy, ugly, wiry feet

The devilish gang from Planet Nyapcha

No one can best us In strength and intellect

Skulls filled with megabytes Hearts filled with ram

We are a super race Lords of the galaxy

Our clan begins Where history ends

The universe is just a fraction Of our world

You loot and rob For our satisfaction

Your brains are our programmed In our systems

We will pour radium jelly Into your eyes

If that doesn't scare you Let the atomic gun speak

You can't flee anywhere You are our guinea pigs

Rock and roll Rock and roll

A horse's egg can sprout A trillion winged beasts

If you act too smart We'll break your legs

The devilish gang from Planet Nyapcha

Greedy, weedy, ugly, wiry feet

The devilish gang from Planet Nyapcha

Bhootnath.

I'm Vik from Nyapcha!

I have a gun!

Bang! Fire!

Bang! Boom!

Hey, Bhootnath.

Can you float with a pot in hand?

-No. -I can.

Kartik, have you heard of Archimedes?

No.

An ancient Greek scientist.

He did extensive research a lot on what will float and what will drown.

Bhootnath, where did you get this diary?

My grandpa had an auction shop.

There were so many strange things.

Antique telephones...

African wooden masks...

Chandeliers from royal households...

Wax records...

All sorts of clocks.

They all talked to each other.

Crockery used by the kings...

Tiffany glass table-lamps....

Pens and ink pots... Maps from around the world...

Ivory toys...

It was a fantasy land.

I'd got there every chance I got.

A few months back, I went there again.

My Grandpa chuckled and handed me an ornate box.

I asked him what was inside.

He said it has either the philosophers' stone or a ball of mud!

The next morning...

...he passed away.

Inside the box was a silver nutcracker...

a couple of gold coins...

...and this diary.

-Bhootnath. -Yes?

You'll be really happy if find that gadget, won't you?

Don't know.

Why not?

Scientists have nothing to call their own.

I planned to thoroughly research it.

But things became...

If my uncle gets the gadget, he'll snore forever.

Your uncle is very happy, isn't he?

-Yes, he's playing the lead role. -I see.

Every morning he goes out in search of the villain.

Then tells me...

to inform Poritosh the prompter if I see anyone who looks like a killer!

"'Bleeding Plassey."

A spine chilling, historic play, "'Bleeding Plassey."

"Bleeding Plassey." Don't miss it.

Hey!

-Come to see the play. -I will.

A spine chilling, historic play, "'Bleeding Plassey."

Bhootnath, will you go to see the play?

Your uncle had asked me to play the role of the murderer too.

The role wouldn't suit you.

-Why not? -You don't look the part.

I've fixed a spring in my toy car just like you told me to.

Good.

Did you see the black car again?

That car really scared you, didn't it?

Those men. They scared me.

Are you scare of me?

Come on! I know you.

What if I say that I'm the ghost-doctor?

That those goons work for me?

What do you mean?

I'll explain you everything.

Maybe you'll understand.

I don't hunt haunted houses anymore.

If you are looking for a haunted house...

Do you have Aghor's instrument?

Huh?

Look at that!

The boss is not here now.

I'm not looking for your boss.

I'm looking for Aghor's instrument.

A musical instrument?

I thought you were looking for the boss.

We have lots of musical instruments.

I'm repairing one right here. We have new ones too.

What else do you have?

Percussions, cymbals, trinkets...

We can even get you a keyboard from the city.

Please come in. This way.

Hey...

He's a foreigner! Talk in English.

A for Accordion, B for Bongo, D for Drums, G for Guitar.

H for Harmonica, K for Kendang, M for Marimba, O for Organ.

P for Piano, S for Sitar, T for Trombone.

V for Violin, X for Xylophone, Y for Yamaha.

Good morning, ma'am.

You will get all these here.

No.

I'll take these two.

And...

And this.

-How much? -He wants to buy right now.

But boss is not here.

But he's paying for it.

It's coming to 4000 bucks.

Master, let me put these in your car.

Rs. 4000.

Mohammad Ibaig...

Mohammad Ibaig...

It's so difficult to find person for the role.

So tiring. This is pissing me off now.

What a ridiculous village!

Not a single theatre troupe.

Useless clowns, all of them.

Your Highness Siraj-ud-Daulah, please get me an Ibaig--

Rolly-Polly...

Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls...

Uff! Impossible!

I can't do it properly.

I can't pull the strings of the puppets right.

They puppets will simply follow your lead.

Come here.

Come to me.

Hold it like this, got it?

Watch me. Left hand like this and the right like this.

And this is the head.

-Oh! -Can you do it?

Yes! Want to see?

Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls.

Those who tread the middle path, Will solve the puzzle.

Here's a conch and here's a ring, Those who seek will find the thing.

Step on the lotus...

Oh! I got it wrong again.

Is that music or a battle cry?

Oh my God!

Is it a choir of ghosts?

God save me!

If the ghosts live here, there must be a king too.

The King of Ghosts blessed me with a boon

The King of Ghosts blessed me...

Who's that?

Stop! Stop! You'll break that too!

I am Subuddhi Roy.

Thank God.

Ah! You're hungry and so...

That very face! Those very eyes!

Excuse me, sir.

I used to play at weddings. May I play this?

Once more.

Yes, yes.

Do you live in this village, sir?

Oh! You must be acting in plays.

Please do me a favour.

For three days I've been going crazy looking for someone to play Mohammad Ibaig.

You are just perfect for the role.

Please act in the play. Please say yes.

-Play it once again. -Of course.

Whatever you say, sir.

(vocalising)

What's your name, sir?

-Bhabol. -Oh.

Bhabol! What a unique name.

-What happened? I'm looking for...

Aghor's musical instrument.

-Do you know? -Yes, of course. I know everything.

I know all kinds of musical genres.

The instrument you just mentioned? I have loads of it at home.

Please come with me, sir.

If you can get me Aghor's instrument...

...you'll get more gold coins.

You know, Kartik? This house belonged to Aghor Sen.

Maybe it was up for sale as there was no owner.

Maybe your uncle bought it at an auction.

Who knows?

But the underground chamber lies underneath this house.

Remember those sculptures of dolls we saw?

-In our courtyard? -Yes.

Look at Aghor Sen's diary.

-Exactly the same drawings. -Yes.

Eight Rolly-Polly dolls.

These are called Rolly-Polly dolls?

That's what the shop said.

Eight Rolly-Polly dolls!

Oh, that's right! "Rolly-Polly eight little dolls."

Bravo!

That sketches on the courtyard lead to the underground chamber.

Then let's open the underground chamber.

We can go somewhere far away with that sleep gadget.

Those goons will never find us.

The rest of the riddle is yet to solved.

"Fear not!

I shall bravely lay down my life--"

Hey, no need to be shy.

"Fear not! I shall bravely lay down my life."

-There he goes again. -Subuddhi Roy has found the villain!

Who is this? -Let me introduce you.

This is Bhabol. He'll be Mohammad Ibaig.

Did you bring him from a jail?

-Tell me something. -Yes?

Did you find him at a graveyard?

I heard murderers lurk there...

See how I efficient I am?

For real, where did you find him?

-After a long search-- -Hope he's not a real killer.

Of course not.

This has been around since I was a kid.

Why are you mumbling? Speak clearly.

He'll give a fat donation...

(indistinct chatter)

I'll manage that.

This is a sun dial.

-What time is the rehearsal? -At four p.m.

-He wants to know your name. -Bhabol.

-Where is he? -Hey, Bhabol.

-Bhabol! -Yes, that's his name.

You and I will rock this play!

I'll be Siraj and you'll be Mohammad Ibaig. Got it?

The rehearsal’s at four p.m. Please be there...

-Is that the instrument? -Instrument?

Excuse us, please.

What musical instrument?

Let them leave, first. Or they'll want a share...

-I'll give you gold coins. -Speak softly!

-Keto is here. -Uncle! Bhootnath gifted me this doll.

Hello, Bhootnath. That's very nice.

-Today I'm relieved... -Found a villain?

Oh, the best one. Let me introduce.

This is Bhootnath Nandy. And this is my nephew, Kartik Bose.

And this is our Mohammad Ibaig, Bhabol.

Is he going to wear that outfit for the play?

So he's finally doing the part?

This is Subuddhi Roy for you. A man of his words.

I'll kill you, you baboon! Did you get the weapon?

Yes.

I mean, not the weapon. But we found the house.

What house?

The one where...

...the uncle and nephew stay.

-Kusum Kunj'. -Yes, yes.

Sure?

Yes, sure.

I saw that guy...

I saw the doctor... The scientist...

I saw him getting excited about the map of that house.

Call the over smart one!

Here he is.

Hey!

Bhootnath here.

You'll lose your life and fame, Doc.

if you want to live, hand the weapon over.

I'm not sitting idle. I'm trying.

A big foreign client will arrive on the next full moon day.

To buy this weapon.

I want it before that.

You think annoying innocent people and parading about it all over town...

...help to get it faster?

I've information that you're playing tricks...

...on Tekka.

What tricks?

Listen up.

I know what you're up to.

You won't get away if you try to trick Begum.

Hey, Bhabol!

Hello, Mrs. Owl Please hoot for me once

Why do you moo Like a silly cow?

Music instrument.

Hello, Mrs. Owl Please hoot for me once

Why did you leave that place And come to me?

Okay, you've done with tea and snacks.

Let's rehearse properly now.

Say your lines.

"Is what I saw the truth? Is what I heard false?"

Is what I saw the truth? Is what I heard false?

Very nice, very nice. Just add a little emotion.

Is there a problem? Okay, wait.

Suppose, this is Mir Jafar.

You said I just need to kill someone.

Yes, but that's not all. The murder is right at the end.

-Siraj hasn't a clue before. -Who is Siraj?

That's me.

I want Aghor's instrument.

Yes, of course.

But let's rehearse a bit before that--

First the instrument, then rehearsal.

Oh.

-What a hassle-- -What did you say?

Nothing, nothing!

Don't look at me like that.

Okay, okay. First the instrument.

My tenant is refusing to leave, Gobindo.

I've mixed cow dung in his water.

Thrown rotten fruits at him.

Go on. I'm listening.

I'm making his life hell. but he's still refuse to leave.

Meanwhile, haunted houses...

I mean, the old houses are selling at high rates.

When does your tenant return home?

In the evening.

After sunset, I'll give him a death stare as he goes home.

Sixty bucks and twelve pennies is my fees.

That's too much for me... Please...

If you bargain, I'll set my eyes on you instead.

No need to sell haunted houses. You'll become a ghost yourself!

-All hail the Lord! -Wait...I'll pay.

Next client.

Bhabol, is this really a gold coin?

As rich as a king!

Musical instrument.

It's playing... This is it.

Find me Aghor's instrument and I'll give you more coins.

More?

Pannalal, Chunnilal, Abirlal...

I'll find Aghor's for sure.

The world is full of hope...

Oh, it's Kanu.

Your niece, her husband and their nine children...

have been freeloaders for the last nine months.

Right?

How did you know?

The savior must be aware of those who are in danger.

Oh!

They are damaging my furniture.

The children have destroyed my pillows.

I'm broke. Can't make ends meet.

They will leave soon.

Pay fifty bucks and send some milk pudding tomorrow.

Okay.

Next!

No...

No! Kananbala, Nanibala... None matches his choice.

This is too much....

No, no. no! It's okay, relax.

My nephews are stealing all my mangoes.

I can't even say anything to my brother-in-law.

It's my third love marriage, after all.

So if you could cause him to hit his head...

-It would be great... -Later.

-What about the evil eye, then? -Need to cast it here now...

You may leave.

Looking for someone?

No.

-Out for a walk. -Oh.

Have a light?

If you look at me by chance

Know you brought trouble on yourself

Stinky old fish!

Then let's listen to Khan Sahib's songs? Classics.

(vocalising)

Where is it? Found it.

You'll definitely like this.

Come. Quietly.

Slowly.

Hey. Stop.

Just a minute.

Keto! What did you break?

This boy is really... Keto!

Leave no witnesses.

Fire!

Oh my God!

Is he dead?

Can I take the boy?

No... Let it be... Forget it...

CULTURAL FESTIVAL BY NISCHINTIPUR SPORTING CLUB

Stop pushing me.

I've brought some sweets and curd for you.

Please wreck the play.

I refused to play Mohammad Ibaig, so they kicked me out.

Let me eat the sweets first. Then I'll think about it.

Make yourself scarce now.

Okay, good night.

What's your name?

-Kartik Bose. -Huh?

The nephew?

Didn't go to your uncle's play?

No.

But why?

The whole village is there.

That's why we didn't go.

Bhootnath? What's going on?

We really need your help.

Oh...

"A look from me is all you need

To make your luck rot for sure"

Never thought I'd use my unlucky face to guard an underground chamber.

-Bhootnath! -Yes?

I brought a lantern and the iron rod.

Good but I can't figure out where to start.

Where do we start...

Wait.

I think this says "five".

Yes, this is five.

Then where is six?

Here's seven.

-That means... -Then this is eight.

-Go and stand on it. -Yes!

Good evening...

(booing)

Hey! That could hurt!

Wasted my whole life casting evil an eye.

Good God...

Let's start.

"Rolly-Polly eight..." Step on it.

"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls, On sevens and fives no foot falls."

Don't step on seven!

"On sevens and fives no foot falls."

"Those who tread the middle path...

Will solve the riddle" Step there.

"Here's a conch..." There it is.

Wait, I'll help you.

Conch and the ring... Step there.

"Here's a conch and here's a ring, those who seek will find the thing."

The lotus is here... Wait! Stop!

Let's do it again from the beginning. Go back.

Remember how to do it?

Bhoja's announcing is just waste of time.

-Why? -He's worthless!

-Calm down. -Everything will work out.

Your Mohammad Ibaig is not going to come.

But this morning he promised to come by four p.m.

I told you many times to give me the role of Krishna.

-Don't get so agitated. -Told you not to take him!

-Can't over-rule your luck. -Shut up, idiot!

I told you not to take strangers.

That man...

He's always eating sweets.

What will happen to my kingdom... I mean, my play?

It'll go down the drain!

The audience will throw shoes at us!

And rotten eggs!

Poritosh! You are Mohammad Ibaig!

-What? He? -Is this a joke?

You know the play by heart.

But then who will prompt?

Moreover, I'm blind without my glasses.

Listen, I'll give you two gold coins. I'll wrap you in gold!

Giggling like a child.

That man playing the king...

I was supposed to kill him.

You still have to finish the game.

Why? I've already ruined the play.

Constantly nagging me!

The real play is going on in the underground chamber.

That old man put a slab on top of the underground chamber.

None can lift it.

Just because you couldn't, doesn't mean no one can.

-"Rolly-Polly eight little dolls..." -Yes.

"On sevens and fives no foot falls." "On sevens and fives no foot falls."

"Those who tread the middle path..." "Those who tread the middle path..."

"Will solve the puzzle." "Will solve the puzzle."

-"Here's a conch and here's a ring..." -"Here's a conch and here's a ring..."

-"Those who seek will find the thing." -"Those who seek will find the thing."

-"Step on the lotus..." -"Step on the lotus..."

-"To get to the underground chamber." -"To get to the underground chamber."

Why are you nagging me?

What's the matter?

Look who's there in the underground chamber.

Take a look.

And the gadget?

Finders keepers.

Remember, a cool head will always wins.

Use your vanishing gun carefully.

Be careful of that scientist's side-kick.

He is dangerous.

What's this, Bhootnath?

I think this is...

Aghor Sen's device for electricity.

Switch it on.

Nothing happened...

Wait.

Now try.

Bhootnath!

That sleep machine.

There he is! The ghost-doctor.

Come out! Come out!

Doctor!

Doctor.

If you want to live, come out with that weapon.

-Come out with the weapon. -Do it.

Bhootnath, what if this tarnishes your reputation?

-Doctor! -Let them do whatever they want.

-Don't try to act smart. -Be quiet.

Or you'll die a cruel death.

Doctor!

Let go.

Doctor!

Come on out.

There he is.

I see the vermin right there.

The ghost-doctor.

Keep the weapon on the ground.

Step back.

He is very disobedient.

First let Kartik go. Then you will get the gadget.

-You brat! -Let Kartik go.

Kill him.

This is where the story ends.

Your time...

...is up.

So sad.

Hey, what are you doing?

-Catch that boy! -Get him!

-He's escaping! Catch him! -Let him go!

Now you face the music.

Let him go!

Please!

-Let him go-- -What the hell?

Who's there?

-What happened? -Ghost-doctor, come here!

-Ghost! A ghost! -Find him!

I found him!

You jack**!

Power cut again?

Found him! I got him this time!

Where are the soldiers? Come here right now!

Found him!

When did you come? I have no weapon.

Who is this?

Where is my soldiers?

They've all vanished.

Will you sell this weapon?

In exchange for the musical weapon.

You won't sell it?

Blow him up!

You filthy punk!

Bhootnath!

Use the gadget!

Bhootnath, use the device.

Bhootnath...

That's mine.

Bhootnath.

Switch on the gadget.

(chanting)

Bhootnath!

Bhootnath?

Hey, Bhootnath? Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Go check on Gobindo.

He's alone up there. Go, hurry.

I'll be back in a jiffy.

No point crying over it.

This...

This broke.

It just slipped out of my hand.

Good riddance.

But what about Vik?

Don't keep this trash on Earth anymore.

It won't do any good.

Take him and come with me.

What are you wondering?

Archimedes, Galileo, Newton...

Don't you want to see the Milky Way?

(radio frequency)

(indistinct radio frequency)

Kartik?

Hey?

Kartik...

This is Bhootnath.

Kartik?

Kartik.

Bhootnath, It's me, Kartik. Can you hear me?

Yes.

Where are you?

Bhootnath?

I am in space.

In space?

I'm traveling to Nyapcha in Vik's spaceship.

And Vik?

He's with me.

Sleeping soundly.

Kartik.

How is Gobindo?

Hope he isn't hurt.

Kartik?

Can you hear me?

What about your uncle?

Hey, why aren't you responding?

Kartik?

Kartik?

You left me without telling.

It feels amazing here.

An endless black expanse...

...with silver shinning through.

From here, Earth appears even smaller than your toy car.

I'm mesmerized.

Entranced.

Why didn't you take the gadget?

Throw it away.

Why?

Man still hasn't learnt to use...

scientific inventions for their true purpose.

You saw how they tried to use it like a weapon.

No one bothered to understand...

...it's true potential.

I've been wanting to tell you, Kartik.

Science is....

Bhootnath? Bhootnath!

Bhootnath?

Maybe there's a lot more in that underground chamber.

Diaries...

More gadgets...

Incomplete inventions...

Look for them.

I'm sure you'll find them.

But this search must only be for the joy of discovery.

Nothing brings more happiness.

I know, you can do it.

Remember, I'm there for you.

I'll always be with you.
