Kony | National Award Winning Bengali Movie | Soumitra Chatterjee
It’s so many times I’ve been
there including this time.
The same old lean bodies,
a handful of foolish faces.
The batch I’ve got
this time, Khidda..
..has many good boys and girls.
I mean very good material.
Jibon.
So many times you showed me
good material including this time.
Why? They brought eleven medals
in rural from Patiyala.
And then?
– And then.
You know what happens
to children of poor families.
Earning food, household work,
endeavour to earn money.
Everything gets ended in all this.
So you understand, why they
couldn’t make progress?
Actually.. actually they’ve
forgotten to..
..have big expectations
being beaten everyday.
Hey Subir, not done.. not done!
Move your hands; a little
more better, a little more!
Subir! Supriti.. Supriti! Yes..
yes! Yes.. yes.. yes!
What’s your name?
– Murshadhali.
What does your father do?
He’s a farmer and
a coolie at the station.
Do you study in school?
– I study in class four.
What’s your name?
– Sudhir Gayen.
What does your father do?
– He’s dead.
Who earns then?
– Mother fishes.
And sister serves
at the BDO’s house.
Do you go to school?
– I used to go.
Okay, now you all go.
Do whatever Jibonda says.
And regarding food..
Okay you all go.
Well, Jibon..
..have you ever wondered..
..why to teach swimming?
I mean what do you want; money, fame?
All this is not for a coach.
Then? – I feel happy to teach.
When they win I feel I too have won.
They win fighting whom?
What kind of happiness is this?
How long does this happiness live?
Tell me what a coach
can do for swimmers?
Can show them the correct track.
Then the devotion,
hard work, desire to go ahead..
..on that track has to
be in the swimmers themselves.
And to awaken this desire,
to motivate is a big matter!
And when you try
to do that you’ll find..
..poverty, superstitions,
illiteracy as hindrances!
But you can’t give up, Jibon.
Fight! Fight! Fight!

Gopla, look these mangoes are bigger.
Sell them at higher price.
Hey! What times have come, Lord!
The mangoes offered to
Mother Ganges are being sold!
Why don’t they die!? Die.. die!
Dadu, Koni is picking up
all the mangoes, looting big way.
Wait, Chandu, I’ll see to the rascal!
Apply the crowbars!
Play the sitar!
Beat the drums!
Play the harmonium!
Why laughing!?
What’s going on;
massage or musical practice?
Whatever; why are you concerned!?
So much fats?
Do you have digestion problem?
Why are you interested!?
How much is your blood sugar,
cholesterol?
Have you got it checked?
– Don’t you talk much!
Have come to bathe
so go and take bath!
I’ll do that.
But it won’t be able to bear.
No, it won’t be able to
bear much longer in this way.
I mean your heart
won’t be able to carry..
..the load of this
mountain much longer.
But I haven’t heard a hippo
or elephant ever suffered coronary.
I wonder what to say to you!
– My wife says the same to me.
You.. you.. you are a nuisance!
Yes, many of my club
members say the same.
You’re insulting me! – Shame.. shame..
I didn’t insult you.
You called me elephant!
Called me hippo!
Don’t I know hippo
means hippopotamus!?
Am I ignorant!? – I didn’t say that.
I’m saying your weight,
is dangerous for the heart.
Well, would I die due to it?
– You could.
And moreover,
suffering long with disease.. – Then!?
Look at me, much older than you.
I do exercise daily.
Exercise!
You may be four thousand
times richer than me.
But could you make
your body a slave like me..
..even after spending
four lakh rupees?
Could you;
do the arch, do the peacock? Look.
What? Could you?
They pulled her leg.
Yes.
Scoundrel, come out of water;
I’ll teach you a lesson.
Well, tell me how
to become lean? – What?
You’re a bit late.
Even then try and see;
give up greed of food a little.
Start walking five miles
every morning. – Five miles!?
And about a hundred sit ups.
– Hundred sit ups!?
See what happens.
‘I say give me!’ ‘Hey Dadu,
I warn you; it won’t be good!’
I say give it to me; that’s my mango.
Look how they have dirtied
the banks of the Ganges!
All rascals disowned by
father and dismissed by mother!
Moreover a tomboy has joined in!
Who is the tomboy?
– Look properly for once!
God has given you two eyes;
look for once!
Give me I say!
Won’t give!? Finally you had to.
How sour it is!
Should Mother Ganges
be offered such mangoes?
Kony!
When did you come, Belo? – Long back.
Isn’t your sister-in-law at home?
I came to see you.
Some one from the shop
came for sister-in-law Leela.
She went saying to be back.
I’m guarding the house since then.
– That’s very fine. Come.
Come.. come. Come.
Where have you been, Khidda;
got so late?
To the Ganges. – Ganges?
Early morning I saw the
tube well at the square is broken.
Shortage of water at home,
so I went to the Ganges.
Didn’t go for many days.
Today is a good day.
Got to bathe and earned
virtue as well. Go.. go.
Belo, make some tea quickly.
– If sister-in-law comes.
Then leave it. But why did you come?
Would you go to the
club meeting this evening?`
Yes. – But the meeting
is to expel you from the club.
I know. – Everyone has
formed a group at the club.
Horichoronda, secretary Dhiren Ghosh.
Even the swimmer boys are with them.
They would make group is understood.
As they’re uncomfortable
with my presence.
The club..
has become a place of selfish motives.
Horichoron wants
to be the chief trainer.
Amiya is Bengal champion;
has left the club.
They want to bring
her back to Jupiter.
Reason?
Reason is that Amiya’s father
is chief of purchase in a big company.
Mr. Horichoron will
get benefited in business.
And this Dhiren.. has made Binod
Bhor the new president of the club.
Binod is MLA; influential man.
So Dhiren is trying
to build high rise.
Selfish, understand;
everything is selfish?
Khidda, give up this
habit of giving lectures.
Let them do whatever one is doing.
Why you bother?
This is a principle; matter of ideals.
You.. you won’t be
able to understand that.
They will insult you!
– Let them; I’m not scared.
Sister-in-law has come, I’ll leave.
Belo, eat and go; it’s very late.
– No, sister-in-law.
Food at home will get wasted.
They’d be waiting for me.
It would be better
if you don’t go, Khidda.
Would be better if
you don’t go means what?
Means, there’s a meeting
in the club this evening.
He was saying some people
might insult me there.
So that I might leave the club.
– It would be good then.
Why would you be expelled from club;
what’s your fault?
Why did you go to the shop?
Have you ever cared for the shop?
You neglected business
and all for your club.
I’m a woman;
I had to take care of the shop.
Okay because we don’t have children.
Why? I too used to run the shop.
– Did you?
Did you really?
How long did you use to
sit at the shop? Not even an hour.
Just club and swimming.
That’s why half the
materials got stolen.
The house rent got
pending for four months.
The landlord would have thrown us out.
Just because I pleaded miserably..
That was your bravery, Leelavati.
What would have happened
if you hadn’t pawned..
..your ornaments to
take charge of the shop!
Today your shop.. is doing well.
Just your ornaments
couldn’t be brought back.
You know the place
is really falling short.
I’m searching for a bigger place.
Have come to know about
a bigger place in Hatibagan.
I went yesterday;
lot of money is needed.
‘Come.. come; be seated.. be seated.’
‘Let me introduce with them all.’
They all are members
of our executive committee.
Prafullo Bosak,
Baidinath Chatterjee, Amiyo Dutta.
Kartik Saha.
Jogeshwar Bhattacharya.
And he is Horichoron Mitra.
And he is Mr.
Binod Bhor MLA, president of our club.
Greetings.. greetings.
Do you have only one agenda today,
or some more?
Well main item is just one;
and the rest are minus.
No, actually I’m
in a hurry that’s why.
At eight I’ve a meeting with
the labour adviser of the company.
I see.
A strike is going on in the company;
he is a little worried.
No.. no, we’ll get over soon.
Shall I arrange for some
tea and sweets? – Well..
Jaggu.. – Yes allow me?
Later.
I got a little late.
– Not much; about four minutes.
Mr. Dhiren,
you’re the secretary of the club.
You tell me what are
the allegations against him?
Well I mean..
The allegations against Khidda..
..are from the boys of the club,
means the swimmers.
Who are bringing in medals from
various competitions year after year.
Making the club proud!
They are the life of the club.
The modern outlook has
to be recognised to handle them.
Modern outlook means..
to give up discipline?
They won’t do training,
will come and go at their will.
Do I need to be modern
keeping pace with all this?
Khidda.. Khidda has insulted
Shyamol I front of junior boys..
..by comparing his time with that
of a twelve year old American girl.
Amiya is Bengal Champion.
Bela.. Bela is brilliant swimmer.
They have left Jupiter
because of Khidda!
Khidda wanted them to trim their hair.
He used to quarrel everyday
saying they should..
..exercise with
instruments like the boys!
Used to criticise everyday
for their make up, their dress!
Yes. I told them to trim their hair.
I also told them to
exercise with instruments.
And I said many things
about their dress as well.
Because,
I feel sports is like a penance.
So one, who follows it,
should be like an acetic.
Khidda, do you want the
club to turn into a hermitage!
Calm.. calm.. clam.
President sir, I’ve something to say.
The boys and girls should
have faith on the coach. – Right.
Khidda himself doesn’t swim.
I don’t know he participate
any competition.
To say I don’t know swimming
Bodu must be meaning..
..that I’m not a Bengal
or national champion.
I’ve never won any medal
in any competition as well.
What, isn’t it? – Absolutely.
The coach should have a reputation.
Horichoron was champion of India;
went to Olympics also.
You went to the Olympics!?
– I represented India in Olympics.
Oh.. ho! What was your result?
I missed the bronze for
point five seconds. – Oh.
I’m sorry.
The gold winner told me;
I got charged..
..because you were on the side.
But I said; before coming here,
the time I made in India.
If that time..
Are you suffering with cough?
No.
Jealousy. – Khidda is
unable to tolerate Hori at all.
Absolutely.
Do you have anything else to say?
If you permit,
the swimmers waiting outside..
..they could come in and say. – Yes.
Leave it, that’s not needed.
I know what they’ll say.
But, as the allegation
has been raised.
So I’ll have to give a reply to those.
If you have something to say,
then we’ll certainly hear it.
Sure!
Twenty five years back..
..when I came for the first
time as a trainer to this club..
..Dhiren also came then.
I didn’t come to this
club with any selfish motive.
I came with ideals.
Not to make carrier,
but to make swimmers.
‘No.. no.. no.. no.. no.. no.. no!’
‘Half an hour more of practice;
another half an hour.’
‘Why don’t you understand the world
is progressing so much in swimming!?’
‘How would you catch
them if you don’t toil?’
‘No, Anita no;
you are late by twenty minutes.’
‘Today you can’t step in the water.’
‘Discipline is ahead of everything.’
I too love the club;
like all the others.
I too want the glory of Jupiter.
I want Jupiter to
become the best in India.
But I’m compelled to say..
..there’s no room for
ideals in this club today.
This has become a dirty
pool of selfish motives!
What do you want to say?
The same that I’ve told so many times.
We’ll have to toil.
By spotting the talents boys
and girls will have to be discovered.
Will have to bring them in.
And they will be found among them..
..who have to fight
for living everyday.
But they can’t be asked for donations.
Instead the club has
to spend money on them.
Nonsense talks! – Nonsense!
Yes! – We can’t give
membership to just anyone!
Our club has a status, has modesty!
Modesty!?
What modesty?
Whose modesty, Dhiren?
Human has just one modesty.
Modesty of labour.
You started political lecture, Mister!
– Exactly.
If you have something to
say then say it, or else stop!
I’m saying the actual matter, sir.
I don’t know what politics is.
Sports is now a selfish Moti..
– Again political statements!
Right. No more nonsense matters.
The actual matter is that Khidda
is completely worthless as a trainer.
I can show that these same swimmers..
You want to become the chief trainer?
I’ll send my resignation
tomorrow itself.
I won’t come to the
club from tomorrow.
It’s not necessary,
that you have to be..
..a famous swimmer
to become a trainer.
All the famous coaches of the world;
Calvert, Carlyle..
..Callaghan, Hayes, Councilman.
None of them are Olympic champion.
They don’t have to teach
by stepping in the water.
The swimmers could be watched
much better from above the water.
I’ll leave.
I’ve scolded you all a lot;
have said lot of harsh words.
From now on you don’t have
to listen to all that anymore.
I’m not the trainer
of this club anymore.
Do the swimming with devotion.
Khidda.
Tell me what should I do?
I’ve become completely jobless.
Shall I say something;
you won’t get angry, right?
You better go to Apollo;
they’ll receive you with pleasure.
What are you saying!?
They are enemy of Jupiter!
Some selfish,
greedy fools made a group to expel me.
Does it mean I.. No.. no.
There you’ll get water,
will get boys and girls to teach.
Tell me what’s the use
to justify true and false?
No. No.
“I stayed among
friends like an enemy.”
“I’m not an enemy..
I’m not an enemy..”
‘Twenty hours continuous
walking marathon is on.’
‘From 8 pm last night to
4 pm this evening.’
What rubbish! Look at your watch.
My brother-in-law doesn’t
know how to announce.
Move.. move.. move.
The competition has been
inaugurated by renowned..
..football player of
yester years C. S. Das.
The prize will be distributed
by famous public leader..
..and our patron, Mr.
Bishtochoron Dhar.
Koni!
Eight out of twenty two
competitors have withdrawn.
Hey, Mr. Kshitij I see.
What are you watching;
the sports of Bengalis?
What else to do you say?
We didn’t arrange
anything for their sports.
They themselves have
arranged for themselves.
Huh.
It got very late!
She went without cooking;
that means she’s very angry.
Would she be able
to make it to the finish?
There is potential in her?
‘The competition of continuous
walking is coming to an end.’
‘Only eight out of twenty
two competitors remain now.’
‘Chief guest Mr.
Kshitij Singho has come.’
‘Today’s chairman Mr.
Bishtochoron Dhar..
..means our Bishtuda has arrived.’
Hey; this is that hippo of the Ganges.
Be seated.
Greetings. – Greetings.
The competition is coming to an end.
This is the last lap.
‘Garlanding ceremony for
the chief guest and the chairman.’
‘Now Ms. Malobi Mukherjee
will sing the inaugural song.’
‘Come.. come.’ ‘Set the mike for her.’
“Let’s go..
let’s go.. let’s go.. let’s go.”
“Lets’ go step by
step in search of truth.”
“Let’s go for the
joy of unconquered life.”
“Let’s go on the path of freedom.”
“Let’s go on the chariot
of victorious heart.”
“Tear in pieces..
tear in pieces.. tear in pieces..
..the breaker of
dreams tear in pieces.”
“Forget all the pain.
Forget the sorrows.”
“Say all hail!” “Say
all hail!” “Say all hail!”
“Brothers, say all hail to freedom.”
“Let’s go..
let’s go.. let’s go.. let’s go.”
“Let’s go,
traveller on the path of labour.”
“Let’s go day and night;
do the victorious march.”
“Say all hail!
Say all hail! Say all hail!”
I won’t compete in
walking marathon anymore.
Scoundrel there’s no first, no second;
all stupid drama!
Didn’t I tell you it’s
all four twenty (fraud)!?
I thought it’s done for money.
Kanti said people come
and stuck money in your waist.
But nobody did?
Scoundrel the people
here are hopeless!
Hey Chandu,
hey Kanti see what prize is there.
Been out of house for a day.
If I don’t take anything along,
mother will kill me.
“Brothers, say all hail to freedom.”
“Let’s go..
let’s go.. let’s go.. let’s go.”
Set the mike up.
Now the chief guest will address you.
Mr. Kshitij Singho. Come.
Honourable chairman, my young friends.
And competitors.
I want to speak just
a few words to you all.
As much enthusiasm
is needed in sports.
So much discipline is also needed.
Hard work and training is needed.
The value of a big
sportsman for a nation..
..is not less than that
of a big army commander.
Both are hero for the nation.
But one of them is symbol of war,
destruction and death.
And the other one, sportsman;
is the symbol of life.
The symbol of the living
strength of the nation.
If I ask who is the
prime minister of Brazil?
How many people know the answer?
How many will be able to answer?
But if I ask who is Pele?
Then everyone knows.
Everyone will be able to answer.
Everyone knows,
Pele is the all time best..
..football player of the world.
Africa was called the dark continent.
That Africa has a small
and poor country called Ethiopia.
How many people did
know about Ethiopia?
But the day Ethiopia’s
dark man Bikila won the..
..gold medal in marathon
race in the Olympics.
That day Ethiopia’s
name became brightened..
..on the world map overnight.
People who bring honour
for the nation like this.
Brings happiness for the countrymen.
They awaken the inspiration
for the race to live on.
The nation and the race
also have a duty toward them.
They should be able
to live healthy and strong.
Should be able to keep
practicing for sports.
The race will have to
take up that responsibility.
They should be able
to get proper meals.
They should be able to
get a shelter over their head.
The society will have
to take up this responsibility.
Gopla, did mother say anything?
Mother is very furious.
She said she’ll rip off your skin!
And brother? – Brother has fever;
didn’t go to work.
Mother will have to
be cooled down with this.
Would you learn swimming?
I know swimming. – No you don’t.
Do you know?
– I saw you in the Ganges.
That swimming won’t do.
Swimming is worth learning.
– What I know is enough.
I can swim across the Ganges
from one end to the other.
Khidda..
Khidda! Bishtuda is calling you.
Come.
You spoke very well,
Mister spoke very well.
You will become my speech writer.
I mean you’ll write lectures for me.
I’ve decided to contest
the coming elections.
I’ll pay you for this.
– But, I belong to sports line.
I don’t know anything else.
– That’s why I need you!
Don’t understand; Binod Bhor.
Binod Bhor; sitting MLA.
Now he is the president
of so many clubs.
Now he has got involved
in the line of sports.
I too will campaign
within the line of sports.
I won’t contest on
a political party’s ticket.
I’ll be independent.
Binod has to be defeated!
You’ll agree I suppose?
‘Attention please.. attention please.’
‘The one mile competition
organised by Calcutta..
..sports association is
going to get started in a while.
Wish you all the best. Hello. – Hello.
Hello. – Hello.
Pronobendu Biswas is
introducing a new girl.
It’s said the girl will
become an excellent swimmer.
Remember,
first five hundred absolutely normal.
If someone is getting away let it be.
Don’t get excited.
Next five hundred, okay?
‘There are twenty two men
and eight women competitors.’
‘One more announcement;
the referee in this competition..
Look.. look,
Khidda that girl in red costume..
..is exactly like a doll of wax!
And who’s that beside her?
– Hey, it’s Kony.
Kony!
‘Kony!’
‘Kony!’
‘Kony!’
‘Kony!’
‘Kony!’
Who is that boy Khidda?
May be a family member
of some competitor.
‘Kony!’
Well done.. well done! Splendid!
Would you learn swimming?
That girl in red costume
has learnt swimming.
So she defeated you.
On learning swimming you
will be able to defeat her.
Who is that? – My brother.
‘Respected friends,
in swimming our boys and girls..’
I’m a swimming coach.
I want to teach swimming to sister.
My name is Kshitij Singho.
– I know you.
My name is Komol Pal. – Oh.
I used to swim for Apollo once. – Oh!
I used to watch you
in Jupiter from distance.
We are very poor;
don’t have the money for coaching.
You don’t need to pay me.
– No.. no, I’m not saying that.
There are a lot of expenses
in learning swimming.
Expenses on food.
Who all are there in your family?
Don’t be so formal with me;
I’ll feel embarrassed.
I have four siblings
and our mother in the family.
Father isn’t there.
We live in the slum.
Once I too had the
desire to learn swimming.
But, it didn’t happen. – Why not?
Father got killed..
..in an accident.
I had to give up school.
Couldn’t continue swimming as well.
Are you the eldest? – Yes.
What do you do? – I work
in a motor garage in Maniktala.
I get a salary of
hundred and fifty rupees.
What does your second brother do?
Last year.. while attempting
to cut wires of a train..
One brother lives
with aunt in Kachrapada.
We five live together
along with mother.
It’s my responsibility
to teach swimming to your sister.
Khidda! – You’ll take responsibility?
That is very fortunate.
But I won’t be able to
spend even a single penny.
Yesterday I bought
her that cotton costume.
She promised she’ll
win among the girls.
You saw what happened.
Work throughout the day in the garage.
Overtime;
I return home very late at night.
I fail to do anything for them.
Koni has interest in sports.
She keeps loitering day
and night with the street boys.
People say so many things about her.
I get angry to hear; I beat her up!
I fail to do anything more for them.
So I’ll leave now. – Your address?
Number twenty six,
slum in the Roopchand Saha lane.
Our house is near the Ganges.
I’ll leave.
‘The patronage of our members,
and well wishers..
..we shall be able
to reach our goal soon.’
‘Before I conclude I must
convey my sincerest thanks..
..to the president, chief guest
and other distinguished guests.’
‘And express our gratitude
on behalf of our association.’
‘The winner among
girls is Hiya Mitra.’
‘From Baligaunj swimming club.’
‘Her time is twenty eight
minutes twenty nine seconds.’
‘First runner up is Kalyani
Rai of Calcutta sports club.’
What are you looking at, Khidda?
‘Her time is twenty nine
minutes fifty five seconds.’
Her face..
‘The second runner
up is Kamoshree Dey..’
The agony of humiliation.
‘Her time is thirty one minute,
fifty four seconds.’
Her.
Kony.
Make a sign on this form; here.
In English or in Bengali?
As you like.
K,A,N,A,K.
C,H,A,P,A.. – Do you go to school?
My name is taken off. P,A,U,L.
Do you know Komoldighi? – Yes.
Keep waiting near the
big gate at four this evening.
Okay? Take the costume and towel.
– Don’t have a towel.
Okay I’ll take it.
You come at the right time. – Yes.
Swimmer? – Yes
Have to give a trial.
Trial? I’m recommending..
There’s a rule of the club.
Whom the trainer recommends,
is a swimmer.
Anyone will recommend
any one and then..
..if any accident happens in water?
I.. I’m anyone now?
Okay; take the trial.
Come.
Didn’t they admit me?
Tomorrow we both are on test.
The test to endure humiliation.
The costumes are so beautiful,
aren’t they!?
Speedo; imported.
– They are very rich, right?
You’ll have to fight them.
So, did she pass, Bondona? – Yes.
Not possible.
No more members allowed in the club.
Strict order of the secretary.
Prafullo, what does this mean?
Means this, no more space in water.
Then why wasn’t I told earlier!?
– Didn’t remember.
Oh.
A little higher.
A little more like this. Like this.
Pull it. Pull it beneath water.
– Horichoron.. Horichoron!
Horichoron,
what is all this going on!?
What has happened?
– Why wasn’t my girl admitted!?
Oh. Didn’t Prafullo tell you?
– I’ve heard all that nonsense!
You wanted to become
the chief trainer, you have.
Now you are up to dirty politics!
Keep watching that same girl
will make you embarassed one day!
So Bengal is getting
a swimmer from the streets?
Not Bengal..
not Bengal; India will get!
What nonsense are you shouting Khidda!
Go from here! – What?
You’re.. you’re dismissing
me from the club?
Yes.. yes the door is open!
Go from here go! – Oh!
Okay.
Okay!
Kshitij.
How come you here?
– Jupiter has.. dismissed me.
You!? What nonsense are you saying?
Would I get a place
at your place, Nakulda?
Kshitij, you.. – I’ve found a girl.
I need a place to coach her.
I don’t need any money.
Just some waters.
Would you?
All right. Come inside,
let me hear everything first.
But I will.. never become Apollo’s.
Then why should I admit you?
– Admit the girl.
I just want to coach.
Whatever honour the girl brings
will all belong to you people.
Okay.. okay.
Come in.
– No. first tell me you agree.
You are everything in Apollo.
I’ll enter only if you promise.
All right.. all right. Come.
Faster! Yes. Yes. Yes.
The hand.. the hand! Watch the hand!
No.. no. No..
no.. no.. no.. no.. no.. no! Not done!
Why is the elbow breaking!?
The hand falling like a plank!
I’m telling you so many times!
Come get up.. get up.
Get up. Get up.. get up.
Yes. yes. Push, pull, recovery.
Push, pull, recovery.
Push, pull, Recovery.
Push, pull, Recovery.
No, your elbow is still
not bending properly.
Try to understand. Come on do it, go!
Why is the head line
getting disturbed?
Understand the way of
breathing properly. Come.
If you breathe turning
the head to right..
..when the left hand
is entering the water.
Then turn neck and breath.
Pull back the chin towards the chest.
It’s two weeks you failed
to learn even one thing properly!
I am! You’re simply saying not done..
not done!
Then what else should I say;
it’s done!? – I don’t like this!
Listen.. listen.
If you learn the stroke I’ll
give you a beautiful nylon costume
I don’t need!
Look, Amiya and Bela
are still swimming.
Amiya is Bengal champion.
How will you defeat
them if you don’t toil!?
Why am I toiling so much for you!?
Try to understand.
Are you hungry?
I think I’ll arrange two eggs,
two bananas and two toasts.
From today?
Yes.
Come. Come get into water.
But I’ll take home to eat.
– At home; why?
Just like that. I won’t eat outside.
Then you’ll have to stay
in water for one more hour.
What am I doing?
With the greed of food I am..
Am I an animal?
Bela, who is that girl?
– Khidda’s discovery.
Didn’t you hear what
Horichoronda said that day?
Khidda has vowed to put
down Jupiter by that girl.
What are you saying!?
The girl hasn’t even
learnt to pull with hands yet!
I’ll go to Jupiter next year.
I won’t stay where Khidda is.
– I too would go with you.
Getting in competition
the girl will have to bow to me.
Mr. Kshitij! Hey, Mr. Kshitij!
– What’s the matter, you here?
I’m looking for you.
That day you wrote the speech for me.
I’m not getting
complete mastery on it.
The meeting is this evening.
If we could discuss a little.
But now I’ve to go to market.
– Get into the car.
After finishing marketing
I’ll drop you home by car.
Sitting there..
What about food?
Oh. Eggs and bananas for you.
Give me the money; I’ll buy.
Can you get me a job?
– A job.. for you?
I need money desperately.
About three hundred will do.
Where could I get?
– Why? You have business.
Writing lectures
like this through life!
Okay, I’ll think over it.
You took out all this again;
what’s the matter? – For Kony.
Kony who?
A girl. There’s talent
in her you know.
If I can shape her up a little..
I’ll bring her and show you.
The girl is very poor;
doesn’t get to eat properly.
I was thinking..
I was thinking to keep her at home..
I’ve decided to take
up the room at Hatibagan.
A deposit of five
thousand rupees is needed.
No extravagance at all now.
What’s the matter, Khidda?
Your girl didn’t come yet?
No.
What’s the matter?
You didn’t come yesterday.
Came half an hour late today.
What’s the matter after all!?
You said you’ll give me food.
Would you give me a couple
of rupees daily instead?
What do you mean!?
You’ll learn swimming;
and I’ll have to give money daily!?
Is this my father’s last rituals!?
Wow! You’ll make me toil so much.
Can’t give money in return?
You are a complete devil.
Have recognised me. Come.
You lost to that beautiful
girl at the lake.
Do you remember her name? Hiya Mitra.
Amiya has said she’ll
make you bow to her!
Go again. – Kshitij,
how’s your girl’s training proceeding?
Going on. So, what’s up in the club?
Don’t you keep yourself informed?
Dhiren Ghosh conspired and got me..
..out of BSA selection committee.
Why are you getting so
upset on getting out of BSA?
The club is much more
important than status vision.
The club makes all these swimmers.
They just pose headman.
But this politics of groups could..
..ruin the life of a sportsman.
The financial condition
of the club is not good as well.
Look out,
if you could get some rich men.
We’ll make him president.
Okay; I’ll try.
What’s about your brother?
He didn’t come even for once.
Let him come once and
watch how you’re learning.
Brother is very ill.
Couldn’t go to work for two days now.
Oh. Then I should go to see him.
Don’t worry.. don’t worry.
Everything will get all right.
Listen, now the exercises
have to be started.
After consulting the doctor,
after doing all the tests..
..a diet chart has to be made.
What vitamins will be needed;.
have to make a list of all that.
Khidda, will you give
me money for two more days?
Advance? Why? – I’ll buy rice.
Because brother is
unable to go to work.
Okay.. okay..
okay..; you don’t need to rise.
How are you? – I’m.. finished.
What has happened to you; influenza?
Yes. The disease is communicable.
Don’t sit beside me for long.
Why are you getting so nervous?
You’ll be fine.
Where is Kony?
– Perhaps.. she’s out somewhere.
Is swimming possible..
for her? – Possible; if she tries.
Works hard.
Have got one of my brothers
to work at the tea shop.
I’m thinking.. if she can..
I’ll get Kony.. work in a thread mill.
The salary will be about sixty rupees.
That means..
she won’t be able to learn swimming!?
Perhaps..
..she won’t be able to anymore.
But you know; I wish.. she gains..
..much success in swimming;
so much successful.
Okay now step down.
She is a little underweight.
Something needs to be done for that.
I’m prescribing a tonic.
She needs to take two spoonful
of that tonic twice daily.
I’ll give a diet chart.
And a chest X-ray, blood count.
She’s already doing exercise.
Consider honey,
butter, eggs, meat in food.
Khidda, didn’t Koni
come even today? – No.
This is the second day today.
She didn’t miss even
one day during last two weeks.
Instead she came before time. – Then?
I wonder; this is not supposed to be?
Hey Kshitij, what happened?
I asked you to look for few donors?
– I am.. I am.
Hurry up. At last the club will..
You can’t do anything
to a man like Binod Bhor..
..by just giving him
only one down in lecture.
Something as such is needed to be
done so that he gets a down regularly.
How’s that!?
I’m thinking over it since a few days.
No.. there’s no other
way apart from this.
Tell me clearly!
Binod Bhor has entered
into some organisations.
You too will have to enter
the rival organisations. – Right.
Suppose, he goes to drama club.
You too will have to go to drama club!
If he becomes patron of charity home.
You too will need to
become patron of charity home!
If he goes to swimming club..
– Jupiter!
Binod Bhor is president
of Jupiter! – Yes.
Then you too should go
to the rival club.. – Apollo!
But, how could I get in there?
Well, I’ll try things
and make that arrangement.
I’ve even talked with
Nakul Mukherjee in a way.
But..
Seven thousand will be needed.
– Seven thousand!?
Donation.
Binod has already offered
five thousand for his brother.
To bring down seven
thousand rupees a little..
Not possible. Not possible!
Binod is MLA.
Moreover he stands a
chance to become minister.
Everyone will want such a man first!
Delay will not do.
If you don’t say within today
or tomorrow then Binod’s offer..
Sir. A woman has come.
Bring her in.
I’ll give seven thousand.
Come in.. come in.
have you brought the money? – Yes.
Come to the adjacent room.
You be seated for two minutes.
Your receipt and all is kept ready.
So then you take
possession tomorrow itself.
What’s the matter?
What is the money for?
I have a room in Hatibagan.
For her tailoring shop.
Tailoring? – I mean that..
Five thousand rupees?
– How come you know!?
She is my wife.
Taking money from her
means taking money from me.
I didn’t know.
Now you came to know.
Tell me what will you do? – Mean!?
Mean will you take the money,
or will you return it?
But this is my business matter!
I’ll leave.
I’ve to meet Binod Bhar for once.
– Listen.
Consider a little
for the Club donation..?
All right;
two thousand rupees for Apollo.
And hundred and fifty
rupees for a nylon costume.
And you’re returning
that deposit money.
On giving all this.
I can recommend your
name for the president ship.
Look.. today onwards I won’t
be able to write your lectures!
Listen! You wait; I’ll come..
I’ll come.
Is she, really your wife?
Why; don’t you believe?
Five thousand..
Here..
That’s it.
What were you doing there?
– Why did you go there?
To give the deposit money. – Oh ho!
Why didn’t you tell me this?
Bishtu Dhar has no worth
to take money from you!
He is in my.. – Tell him and see.
It’s a lot of money;
I felt uneasy while giving.
Yes. But.. I was thinking to arrange..
..for Kony’s food at his house.
So in this condition it won’t
be proper to ask the money back.
I mean I’m making the girl toil a lot.
Something needs to be done for her.
Anyway leave it.
Give me the towel; let me take bath.
You are so concerned
for someone else’s girl!
And I’m troubling myself so much..
..trying to establish
the shop inch by inch.
Can’t you help me a little!?
– All right.. all right.
Okay. Listen;
I’ll see what can be done.
Kony!
Kony!
Why didn’t you come for so many days!?
Today I’ll tell your brother;
nothing will come out of you!
What kind of human are you!?
The girl’s brother died last night..
..and you’re scolding the girl today!
Who.. who died!? – Kony’s brother.
He spilled blood from mouth;
then finish.
Khidda, what will we eat now?
The girl will get lost
in absolute darkness.
You’ll need a helper in the shop.
If you employ her..
..her swimming coaching
won’t get ceased, Leela.
If she learns swimming
when will she work in the shop?
She will ..
she will; I assure you she will.
You’ll have no inconvenience.
Tell me, why are you
doing so much for the girl?
What’s your gain?
You’ve been doing this
throughout life. Why?
Why?
Stay. Stay.
I beg at your feet, Khidda;
I can’t anymore today!
You’ll have to! You’ll have to anyhow!
I won’t listen to anything! Wait..
Don’t get up! I say don’t get up!
I warn you don’t get up!
I’ll burst open your head!
How dare you!
I’ll die! I’ll die, Khidda!
– Die! Better you die! Die!
I’ll crack your head!
You’ve to stay in
water for one more hour!
Khidda, leave me now;
I’ll compensate in evening.
No, I want work as per routine!
Won’t allow you get out now!
Go! Go! Go! Come on, go! Go!
I know, dear you are suffering.
Limbs are getting numb.
Your lungs are getting burst.
Let it.. let it.
You know well, when hunger comes,
devours you in pieces.
Then how it feels.
You learn to make use of it.
You get it defeated!
Fight! Fight, Kony fight!
Get lost; I don’t need you!
This is your work; then why
do I have to tell someone else!?
I got late, sister-in-law;
won’t happen ever again.
Go, clean up the shop
and fill up the pitcher.
Did you go home?
– I came here from the club.
Didn’t you have breakfast?
Sister-in-law,
may I go home for a while? – No.
Cut and keep these ready today.
Cut the cloth pieces as per size and..
..send with Kony by tomorrow morning.
What time did Kony
go to sleep last night?
Same time that she
goes to sleep everynight.
Are you telling the truth?
Then why did she get tired so early?
Don’t hide anything from me.
Last night Kony went to
watch drama along with friends.
She’s a little girl;
she’s supposed to get tempted.
But if she wastes
relaxation time and..
..keeps awake at night
it will be harmful for her!
You’ll have to keep
a watch over all these!
You have to be strict if needed!
When did Kony eat?
– She’s of no use to me.
Just keeps napping!
I didn’t let her sit today;
so she was sleeping while standing!
I made her toil very much today.
So what’s my gain in that!?
You saved five thousand rupees.
And getting it
recovered the other way.
Why? I give fifty rupees
for her food every month?
Milk, eggs, honey;
does that all come in fifty rupees?
Brother. – What?
Brother, you said
you’ll show me crocodile?
I’ll take you to the zoo one day.
And we’ll go to many other places.
You’ll go to many places.
Tour the world.
Look.. look how royal.
Just like a king.
Khidda, the crocodiles
were lying so lazily.
Well, do they eat human? – They do.
Will eat you up as
well if they get you.
Come now let’s eat our food.
Oh, what a big mistake;
didn’t bring water bottle.
Khidda. – Yes?
Should I ask them?
How do you know they have water?
There; don’t you
see the drum of water?
Go and see.
Water? – Go away. Get out.. get out!
Didn’t give, right?
– School of rich people’s daughters!
So what? – They hate the poor!
Who told you all this? – I know!
Brother used to say.
Come.
Listen.
Our teacher Ms.
Nandi’s temperament is like that.
I apologise for her behaviour.
I don’t need your water!
Our tap water is fine!
I.. I apologise for her behaviour.
I will scold her badly.
– Then this glass of water..
Give me.
I’ll leave. – Okay.
Kony’s future competitor.
You know what did the girl tell me?
She said; the girl lost to me,
so she is jealous.
Come.. get up now. – No, Khidda.
I’ll do two more two hundred
and one more four hundred meters.
You keep the time.
Khidda. – What?
Competition of all
the clubs has started.
Amiya and Bela are competing
for state championship from Jupiter.
Won’t Kony compete? – Not this year.
She is almost levelled to Amiya
in hundred two hundred and five.
Then let her compete and see. – No.
She has to do more practice.
Faster!
Hey! Come up. Come up.
Roma Joshi..
sixty one point five seconds?
Sixty one point five!?
Practice for day and night.
Nothing is impossible.
By this year you need
to time sixty seconds..
..from sixty one point five seconds!
So I fixed it in front of the eyes.
Come on, I’ll escort you home. Come.
Khidda.
I’ll break only Amiya’s record.
Why?
She came to our shop
today to make blouse.
‘You do this work here?’
I was feeling very embarrassed.
My handwriting is very bad.
Or else I could have done
the job of writing measurements.
Will you say to sister-in-law?
Then I’ll practice hand
writing daily. – I will.
But you can’t win everything
with embarrassment.
You’ll have to win with ability.
Your actual embarrassment,
actual pride is in water.
Remember, you are a swimmer.
You know Kony;
as people like you have no rights.
Similarly the black
people of their nation..
..also didn’t have
any rights anywhere once.
Have you heard the names of Joe Louis,
Mohammad Ali..
..Sobers,
Pele, Jesse Owens, Wilmer Rudolf?
How could you hear?
They all are sportsman.
They have won with ability.
They acquired the right
for black people like themselves?
Whom should I acquire for?
For people like you;
who have no right anywhere.
Send Kony’s name for Jupiter’s
competition this year.
She’ll compete this time.
And now she’ll practice along with..
..the boys who has
the best time in the club.
Fast! Faster! Come on! Fast!
Khidda, have you heard;
Jupiter refused Kony’s entry!?
What; why? – Nakulda is calling you.
All this is Dhiren and
Horichoron’s conspiracy!
They won’t let a poor
helpless girl prove her worth!
Binod Bhor is behind this.
Shouldn’t we expose him to public..
..through a press conference!?
But the club has the
right to refuse entry.
They are saying last date is over.
But they didn’t mention
when the last date is. So..
This is a matter of morality!
Are you sure; Kony can
defeat Amiya now? – Off course!
Then..
..then.. then something
has to be thought of.
Yes let’s think of something.
‘Ladies and gentlemen,
you are enjoying annual aquatic..
..competition organised
by Jupiter sporting club.’
‘I find the gallery
perfect to the temperament.’
‘Now, viewers presenting
before you the most..
..fantastic and exciting event.’
‘That is hundred meters
freestyle ladies final.’
‘Now, competitors please get ready..’
Hey what’s the matter?
– ‘And take your positions.’
Someone is entering
from that side as well?
That’s what I see.
‘Amiya Sen,
as you know is the reigning..
..Bengal champion from
Jupiter swimming club.’
‘Bela Debcaudhary..’
– What’s the matter?
‘Also from Jupiter swimming club.’
That girl is entering,
from that side? – Yes.
‘Khidda is making Kony enter from..
..Apollo’s course out of competition.’
Kaligaunj swimming federation,
Sonali Banerjee.
‘Shyambazar club, Molly Sarkar.’
‘Canning federation,
Aparna Chatterjee.’
‘Bali swimming club,
and Sharmistha Mukherjee..
..Baligaunj swimming centre.’
Kony, come up.
‘Hello.. hello, officials,
judges, inspector of terms..
..and timekeeper, please get ready.’
‘Hello!’ ‘Hello.. hello!’
‘Now this is the announcement..
..for hundred metres freestyle
ladies final. Final call.’
Kony.. – ‘Competitors,
please get ready.’
‘And report at the starting
platform immediately.’
On the block!
Take your mark!
Come on!
Go, Amiya! Go.. go!
What a race!
Wonder why Khidda did
this ridiculous thing!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Kony! Kony!
Fight, Kony fight! Fight!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on..
Come on.. come on.. come on!
Come on.. come on.. come on!
‘Our next event..’ –
Where are you Horichoron!?
Show your face for once!
Can swimmer be made
by bluffing about Olympics!
‘Reigning Bengal champion
Amiya Sen.’ – Crazy.
Why were you dancing in
front of people at this age!?
I was feeling so embarrassed
in front of the shop girls.
You.. you.. did you went there?
Who informed? – I said.
Would she have allowed otherwise?
Oh.
Khidda sister-in-law has
said she’ll make a frock for me.
And on doing India record, she said..
..she’ll give me a silk sari!
You also take one.
No more, sister-in-law.
Will you give some to take home?
Take the whole pot.
I’m proposing in this
meeting of BSA that..
..no one from Apollo club
will be taken in Bengal team.
Not only that;
they should get suspended.
The unsporting behaviour
they did in Jupiter’s competition!
Shame.. shame.. shame! Shame!
I propose to suspend Jupiter.
Then let this proposal be accepted.
– ‘Yes off course!
‘Yes what’s there to hesitate?’
I propose let Apollo
be warned instead.
Apollo’s Kanakchapa Paul has to be
taken in the team, for Bengal’s sake.
No.. no! Never! What’s the need!?
Quiet.. quiet! quiet! – Strange!
You yourself saw what happened..
..in state championship, Pronobendu!
Yes. Not only me;
many people saw it that day.
In the hundred meters breast stroke.
Kanakchapa Paul and
Hiya turned together..
..during the fifty meters turning.
What happened, Bodu?
Underwater double
kick while taking turn!
What; underwater double
kick while taking turn!? – Yes.
My god!
Kanakchapa Paul has been disqualified.
‘She took underwater
double kick after turning.’
‘Such a rule.’
‘Is not supposed to be.’
That day,
my head got bowed with shame.
Because Kanakchapa Paul
was disqualified unjustifiably.
No, it’s not correct!
Then in two hundred metres freestyle.
Kanakchapa Paul touched
the finishing board.
Amiya behind her.
‘Hello.. hello.. hello.’
‘Amiya Sen stood first
in two hundred meters..
..freestyle for ladies.’
‘She took a time of
two minutes five seconds.’
‘Dhiren!’ ‘Dhiren,
what is all this going on, Dhiren!?’
‘What else would go on?’
‘Kony touched first.’
‘Get the glass of your specs changed,
Kshitij.’
Nakul Mukherjee protested.
‘I oppose the result of
this competition!’ – ‘Stop it!’
‘No!’ – ‘The judges are
there to watch! Stop it!’
That’s not the end; there’s more.
Two hundred metres individual medley.
There Kanakchapa caught
up Amiya after taking turn, then..
‘Wait I’ll see.’
‘Dhiren, there’s a limit to cheating!’
‘Bodu raised the flag in advance!’
‘Who said he raised flag in advance!?’
‘Didn’t he!?
– Your girl took a faulty turn.’
‘Teach her.. teach her!
Teach her the technical matters.’
‘You didn’t teach her anything
apart from harassing Jupiter!’
‘Should I learn technical
matters from fools like you!?’
‘Okay.. okay we’ll see tomorrow!’
‘Tomorrow we’ll see what
you do in hundred metres freestyle!’
‘I’ll see how you resist tomorrow!’
But, there are many ways to resist.
Mr. Kshitij didn’t know that.
Jupiter’s Ira was placed
in lane five defying rule.
lt was against the rule.
‘Take your mark!’
‘No one apart from competitors
and officials allowed inside; go!’
‘Foul! – Foul.. foul!’
‘Come on.. ‘Foul!
But couldn’t avoid the last outcome.
Amiya first, Hiya second.
Kanakchapa Paul..
‘Dhiren!’ ‘Dhiren,
what is going on here!?’
‘Don’t you have some
other place for doing fraud!?’
‘You’re doing politics in sports!’
‘Won’t a talented
swimmer get chance!?’
‘What have you all started!?’
‘Foul play with sports!’
‘Foul play with sports!’
‘Is sports your father’s property!?’
‘Your foul play won’t be tolerated!’
‘Won’t be tolerated!’
‘Let go of him!’ ‘What
dirtiness is this!?’
‘Beating a respectable man!’
‘How low you’ve degraded
the sports world!’
‘Leave, let go..
leave!’ ‘Leave I say!’
‘Get lost!’
‘You won’t be able to!’
‘You won’t be able to hold
us back for long like this! – Go!’
We must forget groups,
and think about..
..Bengal’s repute and honour.
I strongly believe.
If Kanakchapa Paul is present!
Bengal’s chances to become champion
will increase by seventy five percent!
What made you believe that there is..
..seventy five percent chances?
I understood by watching
her finish that day.
No.. no! We will not
accept this at all! No, never!
Then you’ll have to make the team..
..without the girls
of Baligaunj swimming club.
I am withdrawing my girls.
No.. no.
how is that possible? – Exactly.
Right.
Well, Mr.
Dhiren what’s your inconvenience..
..to talk Kanakchapa in the team?
Pronobendu is blackmailing us!
This is unjust!
Yes, exactly! – I wonder
what Pronobendu’s interest is!
I have no other
interest than to stop..
..Roma Joshi of Maharastra
from gathering gold.
Is this any justification!?
– All nonsense talks!
No, I won’t stay in this meeting!
Get up! – Yes!
Yes let’s go!
This is a personal attack.
Let’s go. – Let’s go.
This is an insult. – Yes.
Khidda, if you don’t accompany..
..such a little girl,
so far in Madras..?
Let her go alone.
Should I stay along for ever?
And where is the money?
Kony’s journey expense
has to be arranged.
I wonder how to do it? – Ask Bishtuda.
Bishtu has got the opening now.
Why would he need me anymore?
He won’t give money.
Now the only hope;
is your sister-in-law.
Don’t leave the girl alone.
Dhiren Ghosh is the team manager.
Horichoron is the coach.
Amiya, Bela all the
girls are her opponents.
Only Pronoti Bhaduri among
the girls is a small hope.
What; won’t you be
able to fight alone?
Give!
When will Hiya come, Amiya?
She’ll come along her parents
by flight after two days.
Then she’ll join us in Madras.
‘Coolie.. coolie.. coolie!’
Hey. – Khidda!
Do you remember?
Go to sleep exactly at ten.
No. why didn’t you say you’re coming?
Who said I’m coming?
I’ll return back from here.
Oh, go let me see! – Why should I go?
Do you ever think about me?
Do I think or not you know that.
You forget me when in water.
I see the trouble
is also coming along.
I’ll come tomorrow morning
again in Bohorompur. Okay?
Ticket. – What? Yes.
Ticket!
Listen I.. I got.. – Ticket please!
No I got my ticket all right.
Get up. Come on.
Pronotidi, father has come with car.
I’ll do breakfast
with father in the hotel.
I’ll go to the pool from
there along with Pronobenduda.
When will you come back?
Will you have lunch here?
Off course.
Pronotidi, when will we set off?
– Exactly at nine.
Do the shopping and all.
Nobody will be allowed to
go out when the championship gets on.
If anyone wants to practice
then can stay back.
Who will stay? We all will go.
Hey, are you all ready? Come on.
Won’t she go?
No. – Why?
She has nothing to shop.
So shall she remain alone here? – Yes.
Yesterday I noticed
my cream used by someone.
Oh my! My paste also got a lot empty.
Someone may get upset
so I didn’t say anything.
Pronotidi, the room should be locked.
Then where will Kony stay?
Hey, where did everyone go?
I’m going to my father’s friend Mr.
Sarangapani’s house.
When Pronotidi comes tell her,
I had come.
I’m going again.
I’ll have lunch there and come.
Don’t you eat? – No.
I know why you won’t eat.
You are suffering with complex.
You are angry on me for nothing.
Father was saying; Roma Joshi won’t..
..get six gold like last time.
If Ms. Paul can swim as she
finished hundred in the state meet.
But I say; you can’t!
So much jealousy is not good.
I care damn to be jealous!
Giving chocolate!
Tricks of rich people!
Are you alone?
Didn’t they return yet? – No.
I’ll practice. – You?
The real competitors are not here.
What should you practice for?
Your name was submitted
in four events.
But I don’t find even in one.
Perhaps some mistake
happened somewhere.
Listen, when Pronoti
comes tell her to meet me.
Your sari is excellent!
– Your one is not bad either.
Look, my cream bottle is open.
It was closed when we went.
Now it’s a lot empty.
There was no one in
the room apart from Kony.
Search her bag;
if she has stolen something!
What have you applied;
what’s on your cheeks!?
Cream. – My cream.
Now I understand who took my paste.
Kony wants to become fair.
I was feeling upset since morning.
If Beladi suspects us to be thief.
Hiya applied cream on my face;
I don’t use cream!
Hiya? You lair, blaming her!
You know how rich her father is!?
She can keep ten girls
like you as her maid!
I’m saying the truth.
She came, gave me chocolate and said..
..I’m going to father’s
friend’s house.
Then on my cheeks..
– Write story, Kony.
You’ll be a very good story writer.
Then a second part
should be bought for her.
What’s the matter? What happened?
You believe me, sister;
I didn’t take her cream!
Hiya did..
You ask Hiya when she comes!
You all should have waited for Hiya.
Go; have your food!
Amiya, you have two hundred
and four hundred heat tomorrow.
You must keep good time in heat.
Bela, you are in Joshi’s group.
Some girl named some
Kaur from Punjab..
..has come with very good time.
You should try whole heartedly.
You all will try.
Go.. go have food.. have food.
I wonder why they
didn’t accept your name.
They say the name wasn’t submitted.
Actually it’s all to hide their fault.
Anyway, shouldn’t neglect practice.
It’s okay if not this year;
the national is there ahead. Okay?
There, Hiya has come.
Kony called you a thief today.
– What!?
Sit.. sit; listen to the matter.
I know, she is very jealous on me.
But, such a dirty allegation!
She stole cream,
applied on face and got caught.
Now she’s saying
you applied on her face.
Yes, I applied cream
on her face. – You!?
You!? – Yes,
I applied from your cream box.
And applied on her face.
I took yesterday also.
Sorry; I didn’t take your permission.
You may have a lot.
I’ve only that much cream.
If everyone uses.. – Okay, dear okay!
I’ll give you two good creams.
Because of you I got slapped today!
I was called a thief!
I’m not jealous of
you even at the slightest!
You are a very rich girl!
I’m a slum girl; illiterate.
How could I compete with you?
But if I get you in water for once..!

Amiya has entered the finals
of all the three events of freestyle.
Bela in two hundred
and Hiya in hundred.
Why did you withdraw Hiya’s name
from two hundred and four hundred?
Exactly; why withdrew?
– ‘By the mayor.’
Then she’d have missed
gold in her sure events.
But she’d have got two bronze.
That means two points
for Bengal! – Yes!
Bengal has fare chance
for the championship!
You are thinking only about Hiya.
Didn’t think about Bengal even once!
Do you people think about Bengal?
Then why is that girl
sitting in the gallery?
Bengal would have become
champion for sure if she was there.
You people victimised
that girl by conspiracy.
Now you’re crying for Bengal’s favour!
I’ll see..

What’s this;

What about the relay team!?
There’s no time left!
We are thinking.
– There’s no time to think!
Let Kanakchapa Paul

There is no time for but, Dhirenda.
Anju can’t do at all!

chance if she competes!
You people sit and think!

Kony! Kony! – ‘The final
day of the championship will be..
..one of the highlights
of the whole championship.’
Kony, you have to compete in relay;
in Amiyadi’s place.
Me? – Yes.
There’s no time; put on the costume.
No, I won’t compete.
Bengal won’t be able
to be champion, Kony.
Let not; I won’t compete.
Don’t you love Bengal?
I don’t.
If it is to be loved you do.
I’m poor, illiterate, ugly looking.
I heard so much.
Kept me sitting by cheating.
Now you’ve come being in trouble?
I didn’t come for myself, Kony;
I’ve come for Bengal.
You’ve come for yourself.
Even more than Roma
Joshi you are.. – Kony!
You are unsporting, Kony.

I didn’t bring costume.

Can do everything on

A lot!
You have to go very far.
Fight!
Kony.. fight!
