Put your credit card number here.
-One second. -Ok.
Are you in a meeting?
Yes.
Oh, sorry!
What’s that sound?
It's raining outside.
What’s your official email address?
abbysen@primatv.com? Or 'senabby'?
What for?
I purchased a sofa set. EMI scheme is on till today.
Ma'am.
Got a beautiful mirror for free!
senabby@gmail.com
Won’t you give the official email address?
No.
Let's go.
Did you get the TRP of your special program?
At the beginning of the program
TRP was 30 percent, and at the end it’s 2.3 percent.
I have told you a hundred times, a wrong decision can mess up everything.
Such a stupid special program, made by the worthless Abby Sen.
It ruined the reputation of our channel.
Actually television audience wants entertainment, pure entertainment.
Exactly!
They hate to be taught, or fed with trash intellectualism.
What will you do now?
What happened now was just like a film...
I watched it at Nandan, the film center.
A man, lost his job, and did not disclose it to his family.
One day he was sleeping in the car. Right then, his wife called him.
Have you told her?
You’re creating a mess.
What will happen if your wife calls your office?
I will see to it then.
You can’t see,
but I can.
Mr. Abby Sen no longer works in this channel, Madam.
He has been dismissed this morning.
He is leaving right now.
You will get to know everything when he is back at home.
In more detail.
They should have served a notice.
At least 15 days back.
They don’t have any professionalism.
They will destroy everything.
One job after another... Why does this happen to me?
Remember that film? Upside Down!
The scene was quite like this. Bits of cotton floating around.
Sir.
Our company is for those households, who regularly have such a mess.
You may go for a yearly contract.
Whatever be the loss, you will get discount for repair and purchase.
For example, this sofa is gone. Our company will replace it.
Hey, I will damage you so badly that your wife will ask for a replacement.
-Oh God! -What are you doing?
I’ll kill this brat.
Please Abby, I’m sorry.
It won't happen again.
Promise.
I know you’ll get a better job soon.
Then we will buy everything again.
I remember the stores I bought them from.
Please.
I haven’t told him that you lost seven jobs so far.
We shall ask which channel is suitable for you.
My life always resembles some film.
Isn’t that strange?
Yes.
Something is happening somewhere.
Maybe, someday, there will be a film based on your life.
Abby Sen.
Presently, Bengali television is so competitive that a man like Abby...
He never understands what the audience wants.
If you want to do something at a higher level, then write a book.
People have stopped reading. So you have nothing to lose.
Abby is a big failure. No channel would keep him beyond a few days.
BBC says, there are only five people in the world...
Who are masters on the history of television.
Come in.
This man is highly qualified.
Be careful.
He is a bit crazy too. Otherwise, how could he live in such a place?
But such people are always like this. The mark of a genius!
Excuse me?
I wanted to have Luchi (a typical Bengali bread) desperately.
Did you see the guy frying potatoes downstairs?
I have invited a friend too.
I need to make at least 30 to 40 pieces.
Give me your hand.
I need yours too.
Don’t mind. Prepare it.
I told you about him over phone.
Hmm. Abby Sen.
There is no point in trying for a new Channel.
He’ll be out in seven days, or three months.
That happened seven times.
I have a database for everyone working in television.
But,
there is a Channel where he would succeed.
Which one?
Grand Channel.
Grand Channel? Where is it? Not in Bengal?
It could have been the first private Bengali television channel.
In the year 1979,
some people tried to launch the Channel, but they failed.
In the year 1982, the Channel closed down. But you must carry on!
Bravo! It closed in 1982 and now it is being relaunched?
Told you, big boss has the best scoops!
You carry on.
There’s no scope for a relaunch.
So?
It's the final stage. It shouldn’t get solid.
Which one would get solid?
This one... if you stop working on it.
Oh...
He will come up with something solid.
It’s a good deal if you get a job in exchange for this work.
Here it is.
"A new private television channel...
Needs candidates for the job of producers and assistant producers."
You should apply for this.
Deadline is 15th January 1980.
-This is an advertisement for 1980! -So what?
He has no other option except Grand Channel.
He can’t get into any Channel here. The future is absolutely dark.
Don’t stop preparing it.
To hell with this! Let’s go.
Typical Bengali. Has emotion, but no motion!
What’s the problem with going to 1980?
The man is still in the city.
First page, third column.
Don't stop preparing. It’s the final stage.
Mr. Biswas,
I may use some slang in my speech.
Please chop them out. Ok?
Ok. I’m ready.
Last 14 years, that is...
the same period Lord Rama strolled around in the forest.
I was desperately after something. What’s that?
I was trying to make
a person go from one period in time, to another.
What’s popularly known as Time Travel.
Today,
I’m glad to inform you that
my research was absolutely successful.
Now,
I can take a person to anytime in the past or future.
And that’s 100 percent guaranteed.
Bullshit. How can you make a living person go from 2013 to 1980?
Just absurd! But I have a different point.
This man is uttering nonsense as there is no one to challenge him.
Hey, are you listening to me?
-Did you get my point? -No.
Just one interview. You will frame questions for him.
You’ve got two First Class degrees in science. What a career!
And you’ve seen more than a thousand science fiction films.
Not so much.
Ok, maybe a little less.
Just get a technical interview of this scientist.
We’ll submit it to a national News Channel. An incredible portfolio!
-No way! -Listen to me.
One technical interview of a scientist will get me a job at a National Channel?
The scorching heat has made you crazy.
It rained at noon, and now this heat! I know it will not get you a job.
But it will prove that your interview is different from others.
Let’s go. We should not be late.
If we put aside the quantum mechanical formula, parallel universe theory...
Whatever work done so far on time travel, is mostly on time dilation...
All of which have their roots in Theories of Albert Einstein.
Absolutely! Gravitational time dilation.
Based on Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
-And Special Theory of Relativity. -Perfect. Hmm.
He is my Guru. Dr. Ron Mallet.
He had been working on time travel for a long time.
He teaches Physics in a US University.
Oh God, you are just like Google!
Your friend even knows my Guru.
I am in perfect sync with you.
Do you have a time machine for the time traveller?
Not at all.
It's very simple. You only need to swallow a capsule.
I’m telling this to the world.
It’s neither a tale of science fiction, Nor a film. It’s reality.
Take it. Don’t be afraid. Take it.
This is... one such capsule.
It looks like an antibiotic capsule.
If someone consumes it, how far can he travel?
That depends on programming.
If you consume that one,
you will travel forward in time.
A direct flight to 2050.
-2050? -Right.
Wow! Retired life with grand children, no loan, no EMI.
Get me some water. I’ll swallow it.
And what if someone wants to go 33 years back?
33 years back? No one has kept his commitment.
But I will keep my word.
I’ll program that. Not an issue at all.
I have travelled many times. Both in the past and the present.
Now I want someone through whom
I can give the ultimate proof.
I am searching everywhere.
I need an ideal man.
Who is brilliant and at the same time, understands science.
Trust me,
I’m not trying to please you. You could be the right person.
Go on this unique journey. It’s an experience of a lifetime.
No one has ever done it before. Just think of that.
My God!
What a lovely proposal!
-Impossible! -Hey...
You don’t understand, It’s a big conspiracy.
He says I’m brilliant! No one has ever said that.
Why are you bothered about that?
He is giving you a brilliant option.
You can leave today.
Tomorrow morning, You will wake up in 1980.
Do you get it?
You don’t need to inform your wife that you lost your last job.
You are going away tonight.
Going away is not so simple. Who knows what’s in store there?
If you face any trouble, come back. No problem.
I will give you another capsule.
After you reach 1980, just take it and return!
-Back to pavilion. -That’s wonderful.
But that capsule will work for two days only.
Oh...
Then you will have to stay in 1980 for at least a year.
-Why don’t you get it? -I can’t. It’s absurd.
An unknown place, a full year, alone. Just impossible...
Kolkata is unknown to you?
I was not born in 1980. Even my parents were in Pondicherry.
-I do not know anyone. -I will give you a known person.
Don’t worry.
After you reach there, someone will recognize you as a friend.
I will take care of that.
But I have a condition.
I can do nothing regarding your job at Grand Channel. Sorry!
Here you have been going around for a job, all in vain.
No one is there to help you.
You will get a friend there.
Maybe he would be like me.
Maybe even more resourceful than me.
He will help you get a job in Grand Channel.
I’m always there with you. I will give this device to you.
Let me see it.
It’s a hot device!
Push the bottom twice. No, don’t do it now.
You may talk to me. Every evening 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.
Such an incredible offer, anyone would have accepted it.
You are not getting it. I could land in big trouble.
Besides, my life gets entangled with films.
Stop this nonsense about films.
I have shown you those films. You can’t remember anything.
If I meet Mom, like, in the film ‘Back to the Future’?
That would be a nasty mess.
-Your mother? -Yes.
How is that possible?
In 1980 your mother was in Pondichery. You said it right now.
But...
We have been discussing the same issue for the last hour.
No one did it before you.
When you come back, you’ll be an international celebrity.
Just shut your eyes and think of that.
How can I shut my eyes while driving?
You can turn the car around right? Or is that impossible too?
Your meeting went on till 11:00?
Sorry, it got too late.
I was bored the entire evening.
Not just your channel...
all channels are boring on a Saturday evening!
Take it with water and a pinch of salt.
You may wear anything.
I went to 1947 in shorts and a vest!
Whatever you take within your clothing, will go with you.
But it should have existed in 1980. Or else it would just be a toy.
Why are you wearing these clothes?
I have to go to the office.
Right now!
Where is the salt container?
Hey! What are you up to?
What happened?
You will go to the office this late in the night?
Putting salt in water!
Something important came up suddenly.
What are you taking?
Nothing, just a vitamin tablet.
I will be back soon.
Yes, tell me.
Go to bed after you take it.
Once, I fell down...
and broke my teeth.
I am not going to the office.
I have had a bad headache since this evening.
Vitamins are no cure for a headache!
-What are you doing? -I will be fine if I take a nap.
What happened?
You’re stressed out, darling.
Get some rest. You’ll be fine.
Abby, dinner is ready.
Abby...
What happened?
Abby...
Abby?
Abby!
"Someone is knocking. At the door of my mind."
"Waves lashing on the shore. In the distant river."
"Beneath the white canvas. Lying over the easel."
"The unfinished painting. Looks isolated in the dark."
"Like the blank page of a diary."
"With no image or words."
"Is it all a dream."
"Lying in a blanket of sleep?"
-Excuse me. -Yes.
-What’s the date today? -May 27.
-And the year? -1980.
"A new day wakes up. Tired from a long slumber."
"The sweet breeze of the dawn. Blowing stray and forlorn."
"Carrying the fallen leaves. Into a heap, one by one."
"And a lost world now emerges through alleys and pathways."
"Unfolding for those not destined..."
"To lead a path of convention."
"For whom the turbulent life..."
"Would always drive them astray."
Here is the name and address of your friend in 1980.
Very important document.
So?
You asked so many people. Could anyone tell you?
You asked me first... I told you,
there is nothing known as Vidyasagar Setu in Calcutta.
Where are you from?
Vidyasagar Setu is the Second Hooghly Bridge.
Searching for a friend.
Oh! The second Hooghly Bridge!
Indira Gandhi laid the foundation stone a few days back.
Yes... Get up, get up, get up please.
Can you see that big Banyan tree there?
-Yes. -The Second Hooghly Bridge
would come up right there.
Yes. Right there.
Hey, stop.
-Pass the ball. Pass the ball. -This side, this side.
-On the right side, right, right! -Front, front!
Hey, just kick it fast!
Hey, my friend, where were you!
-Where did you disappear? -What?
You simply vanished after Pele shot the goal on penalty?
We have met after such a long time!
-I won't let you go! -What are you doing?
I searched for you in so many places. Wait here, let me finish the game.
You don’t know him, but he will claim that you’re his good old friend.
What a crazy magic!
My friend, I am really excited. It's as brilliant as the bicycle kick.
I never imagined I would get you back like this.
It's as if God has suddenly granted a penalty kick!
This way.
What do you do?
I’m doing the same job, struggling at the same position.
Calcutta Football, Third Division, Referee.
Could not be a player in this life.
Anyway, you know all about me! Let’s go. This way.
Be careful. It's very slippery. Let me go first.
Be careful, my friend.
Here...
We have reached.
Come in.
Wait, let me put on the light.
This is the poor man’s den, make yourself comfortable.
Wait...
You may listen to a song, drama, game, or whatever you like.
I will get a TV too. Give me some time.
The third division football is not in good shape.
I got this grinding machine, and this welding machine.
Installed these two machines. Usually I get some business.
Two people work here daily.
I must go to that office tomorrow.
-Oh yes, what was the name again? -Grand Channel.
Grand Channel... Grand Channel.
Will it be close to the Grand Hotel?
What’s the office for?
It's a television channel.
Oh, the Doordarshan! That’s at Radha Studio in Tollygunj.
No, not the Doordarshan. It’s a private television channel.
Private... I will ask the boys of the Club. They should know of it.
Just a minute.
Yeah...
Here...
Keep it. Yes.
Thank you.
I will pay you back when I get the job.
I didn’t ask about that.
What’s the time?
Oh, you’ve lost your watch.
It’s already 6:20, I must go to the Club, or else the boys will leave.
Let me find out about the Grand Channel.
Yes, tell me.
You’ve landed safely. And I’m taking off.
Now tell me, how does it feel?
No one knew the guy’s address. It is from the Calcutta of 2013.
-2013! Oh... what a mess. -Listen...
Your mind-blowing experiences start from now.
Keep a note of everything.
You have to tell the press after coming back.
Luckily someone had a clue.
Otherwise, no one has even heard of this Channel.
When will the telecast start?
Maybe after two months.
They must give priority to sports.
Otherwise this Channel would never be popular.
Crowds gather before television sets only to watch sports.
Quite a nice building.
Wow!
-You should leave now. -What?
You are getting late, you have to go to the ground.
Yeah, it’s already 11 a.m. We have a meeting for referees.
Listen, keep your cool. And have a great interview.
May god bless you. I will hear about it in the evening.
See you.
Let’s leave after 3 p.m. I must watch something today.
Let me decide which one.
‘The King and Maiden’?
Or ‘Protect my chastity’?
We advertised in January!
You came after five months?
I got a little late...
A little! What’s more than this? Five years?
Nudity and scenes of seduction cannot run a show.
Is there any vacancy?
No. All posts are filled up. You may come after five years.
The sizzling dancers Miss Papia, Miss Julie... Can’t miss this one.
You may leave.
What’s playing at Rangana?
‘Joy Ma Kaali Boarding’.
and at Kashi Biswanth Manch?
‘Naam Jiban’. Soumitra Chatterjee.
Come, come. Climb up and get in.
Go! Go inside.
Satish! Hey, Satish!
There is a call for you. Hurry up. He is holding the line.
Someone is there at the entrance door.
Whom do you want?
-Is Mr. Ramaditya in? -Come in.
Sit.
Give me the book.
"Kamaladevi said, 'It’s not a joke, you may go hunting.'
Indrakumar kept silent.
Dropping the bow and arrow home, he went out.
He told the Prince,
'Brother, today was not a good day for hunting.'
Chandranarayan smiled and said, 'I understand.
Today is a day of trial.'
A lot of people have assembled at the ground outside the palace.
The Royal Umbrella and Throne are sparkling in the morning light.
The land is mountainous, high and low.
The people are overwhelmed.
All around, a wave of human heads seems to have risen."
Now you read by yourself.
Please read it once more.
-Don’t you have any homework today? -Yes, I do.
Let’s finish that first.
Abby, it's difficult to climb the ladder of success in life.
A lot of effort goes into it.
Impossible.
There is no point in talking to him. He is not bothered.
Let me go.
I’m not saying all this because you are my son-in-law.
I learnt the hard way from life.
Thirty years back, I was like you.
So naive that anyone could cheat me.
What have you done?
Yes...
You left this in the tram.
How did you get my address?
Sorry, I also found this.
I don’t need this.
I bought a folio bag and took all that I needed.
It’s old and torn.
I had no idea that people leave torn files in tram.
Missed this one. It’s important.
-May I? -Yes, you may leave.
Hey, lock the door.
Excuse me. Can I talk to you?
Are you Srirupa Chatterjee?
Mukherjee...
Oh, that’s the maiden surname!
I can’t talk on the road. Can we go somewhere to talk?
I don’t know you.
You teach Bengali, right?
You were teaching Tagore.
Yes. Private tuition.
That’s it.
I got your name from a student of yours.
I’m not a bad man. Please trust me.
I need to tell you something very important.
I came to return this man's file.
I learnt that its of no use to him. But I did my duty.
Please... I am requesting you. I won’t take much time.
But it’s a very important issue. Please.
You may think I’m crazy. You may think that I am talking nonsense.
When I saw you, I thought, you might give me right advice.
I can’t...
I can't make out anything. It’s all so strange.
Actually, the capsule to travel back...
-The one I told you about? -Yes.
That capsule will only work for 48 hours.
Already... What’s the time now?
4:10 p.m.
You see? It has already been 20 hours.
After 48 hrs, I have to stay back for one full year.
I have a friend... Parama.
Yesterday, she sang for Grand Channel.
Maybe she can help you.
Please try.
What if they want to know about your past?
It will not be wise to say that you are from the future.
Absolutely. Don’t ever say that.
I don’t know much about the present Kolkata...
It's better if you say I’m from Mumbai.
-What? -Bombay.
Ok.
Let me go now.
-Sorry to give you trouble-- -How can I contact you?
Give me your number.
Have you lost anything?
Yes, my mobile!
What do you mean by mobile?
Do you have a piece of paper?
I’ll give you Bila’s address, I mean the guy with whom I stay.
Oh, what have you done?
Your mother-in-law looked young and you blurted out your entire story?
I didn’t tell her that she would be my mother-in-law.
She would have fainted then and there.
I’m worried. Now someone knows your secret.
What could I do? I have never been in such a situation.
Since the beginning of civilization no one has been in such a situation.
You are the first man on earth!
Relax. No use thinking about what has already happened.
I don’t know how to get a job at Grand Channel.
Hey!
What’s bothering you?
Worried about the job? Wait, I’ll do something.
From tomorrow you will teach in our Club.
Hey!
What do you mean?
I know nothing about sports. How can I teach?
No... you will teach primary education.
Well, now I’m pretty sure.
Since fifty percent of the staff goes on leave regularly...
This channel will never get launched.
But sir... I left a foreign company and came here.
Who told you to come?
I ignored money for the sake of art.
Bullshit! Cheap sentiment.
Send Meenakshi Roy to my chamber.
She is on leave from yesterday.
What? She too?
Yes sir, maternity leave.
That’s brilliant.
Really! I have nothing to say.
All three female employees are on maternity leave at the same time!
Sir, Salil is absent today.
He is busy performing holy rituals in the temple for getting this job!
Dropping office for such a cause! Makes no sense!
Shamik, take a dictation.
To Mr. Salil Halui,
your service is terminated hereby, with it taking effect from...
Get his post details and other particulars from the office. Ok?
And his joining date too.
Serve it to him when he comes tomorrow with sweets from the temple.
Lost the job.
Is he your relative?
I feel for him.
Hello! Yes.
Niladri Roy speaking. Director of Grand Channel.
What? How strange!
Tomorrow? What do you mean by tomorrow?
No, he was supposed to come next week.
Really, I will go mad.
I can’t take so much pressure!
Hey, I can’t take so much pressure!
What happened sir?
What a mess I am in. It was much better in my Dad’s medical store.
Let me tell you something sir.
Why are you taking every responsibility on your shoulder?
Right. We are coming regularly.
Relax sir.
Hold the chair for him. Careful...
Don’t be tensed. Let us know what is bothering you.
That Central Minister on whom we’re banking...
For putting forward the proposal in Parliament...
So that we become the first private Bengali Channel.
The Central Minister will be here tomorrow, right?
No. His youngest daughter will perform Kuchipuri dance.
We have to produce a short film for half an hour.
I have to cover the football league match.
-I have to record some songs tomorrow. -No, it can’t be done that way.
We need someone who is an expert both in dance and filmmaking.
Sir, we have Rama Rao in the canteen. He’s from Andhra Pradesh.
Kuchipuri is from that place.
Listen, when you don’t have work, practice writing resignation letters.
Practice writing and signing, both.
Sir, suddenly I remember something.
Paroma Sen, the singer, referred to someone.
A television producer from Bombay. He’s looking for a job here.
May I know his name? I know everyone in Bombay.
-It took so long to remember this? -Yes, sir.
-Go and call him right now! -Go, go, go...
Silence. Please keep quiet.
Sit down please.
Please keep quiet.
Shut up, stop talking. Be silent.
It’s so difficult to manage them!
Silent!
I will crack your bones if anybody utters a single word.
Thank your ancestors that such an international player is coaching you!
Creating a nuisance.
That electrician teaches them, he knows nothing.
You’re a different breed! Start from the beginning.
There should be no nuisance. Please carry on.
Keep quiet.
You have to find a word with this alphabet ‘A.’
Come on, who will answer?
A word with ‘A’. Come on.
-Yes... -Aalu (Potato).
Aalu? What nonsense! That’s a Bengali word.
‘A’ for ‘Apple’.
A-P-P-L-E.
Oh! When did you get here?
Would you please come out?
Sure.
What is it?
I spoke to Paroma yesterday.
She asked your convenience for going to the channel.
-Just a minute. -Sure.
What’s going on? Be quiet!
What are you doing here? What do you have in your hand?
Hey! Hey!
What a mess! Who swallowed it?
A little boy. I asked about him. Nothing happened. He is fine.
Yeah. Nothing will happen.
Expiry date of the capsule is over. 48 hours... I told you!
Now you have to stay for one year.
Cam two. Ready?
Take, cam two.
Cam three, slow turn.
Take, cam two.
Cam one, ready?
Going to cam one.
Take, cam one.
Slow dolly, cam one. Focus... Check focus.
Ok.
Cam two, dancer's feet.
I’ve got nothing much to say.
A young guy, showed us how brilliantly a classical dance program is shot.
Brilliant.
Framing, cutting, panning, tilting. Every act is brilliant!
He is at least 20 years ahead of us.
He is being overrated! I was in Bombay for three months.
There are many people like him. Actually, it’s nothing.
If you follow dance movements of Hindi films, you can easily do this.
He is also a nice man.
Its apparent from his looks.
How strange. We have such an extraordinary man among us.
Don’t pose in front of the camera.
You can’t be photographed. Because you do not exist in 1980.
Are you Abby Sen?
-Yes. Hi. -Paroma.
Srirupa could not come due to some personal reasons.
She gave this for you.
I couldn’t come today.
But I’m so happy to get the good news.
See you tomorrow. Regards. Srirupa.
Thank you. I owe this job to both of you.
Is Abby your nickname?
Now the nickname has replaced the original.
My name is Abhirup.
The French father in my Pondichery school used to call me Abby.
That’s how it started.
Now I get it.
When Srirupa told me your name...
I asked her if you were from Birmingham?
Have you left Bombay for good?
Yes, I have to stay here for one year.
You look so sad, as if you left a wife in Bombay.
Hope you don’t mind.
This is the way I am.
Mom says, I’m quite like a boy.
By the way, did Srirupa bring you here?
Yes. Yesterday...
I knew it.
Actually, she met Sambit here.
So it’s lucky for her.
For me, it’s very unlucky.
My only affair broke up here, on this particular table.
I’m so sorry. I was unaware of that.
No issues. I got over it long back. Let’s go somewhere else.
-What happened? Come. -Yes.
This is Abby Sen. Don’t be surprised by his name.
He comes from Bombay. Not another planet.
He wouldn’t have done this if he came from another planet.
My Mom is dangerous. She works with knives. Beware.
Please sit. I’ll be back.
Please come.
-Sit. -Please get him something.
You made him walk out of a restaurant.
Hope you didn’t get a headache after meeting her?
No, but the option for speaking out...
Has reduced drastically, right?
After a while, you may forget to speak, and only listen.
I’m Enakshi. Cardiac Surgeon.
What do you do, Abby?
-Television Producer. -Oh.
Very interesting. And a pretty new profession.
I guess,
television will be a big industry in future.
Many employees, numerous projects, huge investment...
Hardcore competition, insecurity...
That’s common.
It is an integral part of modern life.
Wait. I’ll get something for you.
Parul, please come here.
Naukri, CID, Rikshawala...
The man who played the harmonica in these popular films
was an artist named Milon Gupta.
However, Milon Gupta’s ideology centred upon Rabindranath.
SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION
Did he get to look at it?
-Which year? -Last year.
Excuse me, sir.
I heard about you. You are very talented.
No one will tell you about me.
I’m Bijon Munsi.
Today, I shared the screen with the super actor in ‘Ogo Bodhu Sundari.’
So you’re an actor?
I feel ashamed to say so...
When I act with Uttamkumar... Oh! What a great actor.
I swear, he will remain an idol even after thirty years!
You’re absolutely right.
You are a talented man...
you must have some regard for the artist.
I can’t afford a regular meal. How can I memorize dialogues?
I have a malnourished brain.
You see, these ill-fated people live here.
We are all proud of you sir.
Hey... What’s going on here?
-Let’s go. -Actually...
I need to talk. Come with me.
What happened?
Come on.
I saved you some money.
-But he is an actor. -What? Actor?
He is an alcoholic! Come!
I got the job in Grand Channel.
That’s great news, my friend!
I knew you'd strike a double hat trick before half-time!
There will be a party today. We’ll celebrate.
Just a few days. And I have a new life.
New acquaintances. Each different from the other.
As if they are characters of a film.
I have been told to keep notes.
I have to tell the press when I return.
Would anyone believe the strange tale of my life?
Previously I thought my life was quite like the films I watched.
Now, at every moment, I can feel the projector running.
And the moving images creating magic on the screen.
-It’s quite normal now. -Hmm.
That’s good, got normal within a single day.
Don’t check my blood pressure in front of outsiders. Got it?
Ok sir.
Listen...
no one in the office should know that you are my brother-in-law.
Not at all. I am very much aware.
Come in.
Good morning sir.
Excellent morning. Come in, come in.
Welcome to Grand Channel. Please sit down.
Good morning sir.
Yesterday, you did a marvelous job.
Everybody appreciated you a lot.
Thanks a lot sir.
Sir, only football matches have been scheduled in this month.
No coverage for other sports.
First you should greet your new colleague.
Good morning.
If you were in Bombay, you should have this etiquette.
Good morning.
Television is a professional field. And a responsible field.
Art should blend seamlessly with skill and good taste.
It’s not a place for catering to baser instincts.
And our behaviour should reflect a modern approach.
Otherwise, how is it possible? Anyway, please listen.
We are really fortunate to get Mr. Abby Sen.
He is joining as a producer.
He’ll devise and monitor the modern approach of the channel.
Let me know how many of you have a problem with speaking in English.
I will arrange for a spoken English class. Got it?
Excellent.
These are miniature prints.
Originals would leave you fascinated.
Really nice.
The man is quite nice as well. You will love to be introduced.
You could have met him today. But he got stuck in some work.
Yesterday, Paroma and myself missed you badly.
I didn't have a choice.
The groom’s family came to see me.
Oh, you are getting married? Congratulations.
I will not marry.
Why not?
My father has no faith in people from the creative field.
A cousin aspired to be a poet, and ended up being a big failure.
Times have changed. Don’t you think so?
I will arrange everything, will you please help me?
What help?
You have to convince my father.
There is so much scope in the creative field.
Particularly for the artists.
I can’t marry anyone other than Sambit.
Who is Sambit?
Come on, you are in his house. You liked his paintings.
The groom who came to see you yesterday was Sambit?
No, son of my Dad’s friend, Prithwis.
Prithwis Chatterjee?
How do you know him?
No. Just a guess.
The surnames are similar.
Must be a good match.
Let’s go.
Tomorrow you’ll come to our house.
Your introduction will be Paroma’s friend,
and a senior producer in Grand Channel.
You must convince my Dad, so that I can marry Sambit.
You’ve created an extraordinary situation.
What have I done?
What’s the name of your father-in-law?
Prithwis Chatterjee.
And who is the fellow your mother-in-law is dating now?
-Sambit. Forgot the surname. -Sambit...
Now if your mother-in-law marries Sambit...
There would be a great mess. I hope you are aware of that.
No, I don’t get it. I am quite disturbed.
Why is that?
You’re a scholar of science. And this is a simple issue.
Your mother-in-law is supposed to marry Prithis Chatterjee.
Now, if she marries Sambit,
the genealogical order will get messed up.
And your wife will disappear! Forever!
What do you mean?
What’s bothering you?
Nothing.
You can tell me.
Srirupa wants me to do something for her.
I know. Don’t worry about that.
Even if you can’t convince her father,
Srirupa would marry Sambit.
She’s madly in love.
So don’t take it as a big responsibility.
And by saying that, I get the scope to be informal with you.
What a shocking lack of culture!
Kazi Nazrul wrote:
“The Big Child is playing with the universe.”
And you’ve translated ‘big child’ as ‘large baby’!
Sir, it’s impossible to translate everything into English.
This program will be in English, that’s an order.
Please remember. Our competitor is Doordarshan.
It’s a National Channel run by the Government. Understand?
Mr. Sen, would you like to say something?
Sir, here the term ‘big boy’ is allegorical.
Exactly.
‘Large baby’ can never be a metaphor.
It’s not a literal translation. Good.
Did you ask the Accounts department to pay advance salary to Mr. Sen?
Yes sir. It will be done today.
Good. Very good.
Thank you sir.
Don't thank. It is our duty.
Hey, my dear, are you through?
Yes sir, just a moment.
How much is he getting?
Sir.
I’m creating a new team to design programs.
To decide on program content,
mode of production,
Et cetera...
The leader of the team is Abby Sen.
-Mr. Jatin. -Yes Sir.
You will assist him.
Mr. Sen, I hope you accept this position?
Yes sir.
A Gold Spot for me.
Tell me sir. How can I assist you?
Please don’t call me ‘sir.’ We will work together as a team.
There is no leader here.
Wow! Do you represent the new government?
I don't understand.
The new State government, which came in power three years back.
Your words sound like their manifesto.
Isn't it?
Anyway, never mind.
For which studio did you work in Bombay?
I worked in many studios.
Actually, I’m a freelancer, so I roamed around.
You worked in television nonetheless!
Can’t you remember any names?
Perception.
Perception? Is this a production house?
Yes. Besides Adlabs, in Andheri.
Andheri? I’ll find out. I have many sources.
Any other name? Other than Perception?
-Our demands have to be met! -Have to be met!
-Unite against separatist policies! -Get united, get united!
Downsizing by inciting fear cannot continue!
The factory has gone on lockout.
These people have lost their jobs.
-Long Live Revolution! -Long Live! Long Live!
-Cannot agree, will not agree! -Cannot agree, will not agree!
-We are fighting. We will fight! -We are fighting. We will fight.
-Cannot agree. Will not agree! -Cannot agree. Will not agree!
We will fight till the end!
-Cannot agree. Will not agree! -Cannot agree. Will not agree!
-Our demands have to be met! -Have to be met!
-Unite against separatist policies! -Get united, get united!
It seems you have walked a long distance.
Yes. I couldn't board a bus. It was too crowded.
What a mess! But what brings you here?
Your decision is perfectly right.
I mean your decision regarding Srirupa’s marriage.
I know she is not at home today. So I came to meet you.
-Don’t do it. -Don’t get her married?
No. But not with the artist.
It’s an awful situation. Nothing has changed.
The creative field doesn't have stability.
There is no way out of insecurity.
Just what your cousin faced.
The one who wanted to be a poet!
How do you know that?
Just a guess.
Every family has one such sample.
Either maternal or paternal cousin!
You can’t even imagine what a miserable end he had.
Literally starved to death.
I know. She is such a nice lady.
Srirupa. Such a pleasing lady.
She must get a stable and secure life.
She will get that.
-Prithwis is a wonderful boy. -Absolutely!
You are a good soul too.
Nowadays, no one bothers to come up with good advice.
If anyone turns up, he must have some vested interest.
Otherwise, he won’t bother doing good for you.
Such a degeneration of the human soul. I wonder why it happened.
Here we are.
Oh, I almost forgot.
A small gift from a poor man.
A booklet of the film ‘Indrani’. A memento from 1962.
You’re a big fan of Uttamkumar, right? I got it signed by him.
Thanks a lot.
Good night sir.
It was a wonderful evening.
Won’t you get down?
No sir, I wish to enjoy the night like a king.
Taxi fares will hike up this Sunday. Starting fare would be 2.50 rupees.
Thank you sir.
Carry on.
Enjoy the night.
Good souls should emerge winners!
Sorry.
I’m not used to drinking country liquor.
But the place is very interesting.
I heard a lot about it, Khalashitola.
This is known as the prime den of country liquor. Right?
No, it’s the mother’s milk depot!
Why are you getting filthy?
Hey, don’t force me to blurt out more filth!
You’ve defamed me in front of others. You need a lesson.
If you utter a single word. I don’t know what I would do.
Thank you sir.
Definitely.
He is very talented. Sir. Sir.
Thank you. Sir?
Minister.
Information and Broadcasting Minister?
No. Father of the Kuchipuri dancer.
He has seen the film on his daughter’s dance.
And he is overwhelmed!
Where is he?
-Who? -Abby Sen.
Oh, what an exceptional person.
He is absent today.
Taken leave?
Not sure. I’ll check.
Uncle, someone is looking for you.
Yes?
Where is Abby?
I don’t know.
He is absent in office since yesterday.
Would you please ask him to call me when he returns? I’m Paroma.
Here’s my Mom’s visiting card. This is our number.
He left with his belongings.
Did he have any altercation with you?
Yes, I abused him. So he left.
I have no idea what happened between you.
But I’ll keep you posted if I get any information.
Don’t be sad. See you.
Hello. Yes, speaking.
Ok, got it.
Please, give me your address. I’m coming.
Get me a piece of paper.
He’ll never come back sir.
Don’t mind sir, it was not wise to pay his salary in advance.
I asked you to find his whereabouts.
I’m not getting any information.
He was staying in a slum,
he left the place day before yesterday.
Such a talented person, why is he staying in a slum?
Actually sir, his references regarding Bombay...
Nobody knows him in Bombay. I’ve inquired myself.
He referred to some studio named Perception. It doesn’t exist.
Sir, this is the latest Film and Television diary of Bombay.
You may check it.
Don’t you have any work? Let me know, I will give you work.
Don’t go around creating nuisance.
Our guest house is lying vacant, right?
Yes sir.
Arrange it for him.
Be careful.
Luckily, I found your card in his pocket.
Otherwise I had no clue.
Please come.
Last night, he was in delirium with high fever.
He had checked in a day back.
Abby.
What’s the matter? Why is there no light in this room?
I wonder why they keep all the doors and windows closed.
I am so lucky...
a well-known surgeon has come to my lodge.
Once I wanted to start a nursing home. A small one.
But I didn’t get the license. Now, maybe, you can help me.
-Call someone. He needs help. -Yes... Yes.
Hey, come up right here.
Give me his bill.
-It’s ready Madam. -Give it.
May I give you the papers for the license?
Look, I can do nothing about this issue. Sorry.
Bring the bill for Room 9.
-Do you know... -Hmm.
During British regime, this house was a mercantile firm.
British directors used to sit on that chair.
I have heard of it sir.
Someday,
my statue will be erected next to that garbage vat!
Certainly sir.
The epitaph would read...
This wretched fellow ushered in the darkest era of Bengali Television.
Hello?
I’m Parama Roy speaking. Abby is my friend.
Yes, tell me, where is he?
In our house.
He is quite sick.
I had a hunch, that he must be in trouble.
Please give me your contact no. Hey, note it down.
Here are your clothes.
Please give it to me. I’m giving you trouble.
If you say that to Mom, you’ll get a tight slap.
I’ve done something wrong.
I told Srirupa’s father...
I have already told you they’re desperate.
Last morning, Srirupa eloped with Sambit.
No one can stop them. They will marry.
What’s the time right now?
6:10.
What happened? Why are you getting up?
What’s the matter? What are you searching for?
Tell me, I’ll look for it.
It’s quite small. Black in colour. With a display panel.
Some device?
I think I’ve left it at Bila’s place. I can’t lose it. I must go now.
-You have a high fever! -I must go. Please.
Hey, listen.
Bila, I had a device.
My friend, I knew you would come back and forgive me.
I had a small device, black in colour with a display panel.
-Did I leave it here? -I haven't seen it. Let me check.
No, I can’t allow anyone.
A young couple is staying in the room.
I can’t disturb them. My business would be ruined.
Besides, the lady is too clever to leave anything behind!
Let’s go. Your Mom will be back from hospital.
You must send the car back.
I can’t decipher what you lost.
It's of no use now. Forget it.
Can I ask you something? Are you fond of Srirupa?
What do you mean by ‘fond of’?
If a boy is fond of a girl, he tries to ruin her marriage!
Are you crazy? She is my mother-in...
She is your...?
My friend... What else?
Why should I ruin her marriage?
All I said was...
In terms of career, Prithwis is a lot more stable. That's it.
Get in, we are getting late.
"I search for him in the clouds."
"Floating in the sky."
"He comes close to me."
"And then suddenly disappears."
"He dissolves in the crystal white."
"Merging seven colors of the spectrum."
"I search for him in the clouds."
"Floating in the sky."
"I search for him..."
"Amidst the lonely midday breeze."
"I search for him..."
"In the brilliant magic light of sunset."
"When the sun sets..."
"He escapes in the dark night."
"I search for him in the clouds."
"Floating in the sky."
An internationally famous person is in Calcutta.
And please keep this a secret.
I know sir. Myself and Suprakash would do the recording.
No. It can’t be done like that.
I...
Yes.
May I come in sir?
Hello. Come in. Come in. I was waiting for you.
How is your health?
"I search for him in the clouds."
"Floating in the sky."
"He comes close to me."
"And then suddenly disappears."
"He dissolves in the crystal white."
"Merging seven colors of the spectrum."
"I search for him in the clouds."
"Floating in the sky."
It's really beautiful.
You left in the middle of the recording, so I had to play the record for you.
Yeah. The meeting starts at 11:00 a.m.
Now, you are the VIP of Grand Channel.
I heard that you have been assigned a special program for tomorrow?
Yes.
-I heard something else too. -What?
They are allotting an office quarter for you.
Yes. They want me to shift day after tomorrow.
Do that. You are not comfortable here.
You will be quite at ease in your own place.
Are you busy tomorrow evening?
No. I’m not a busy person.
Will you come with me to have a look at the office quarter?
Are you sure I should go with you to that house?
Paroma...
Sorry.
What happened?
Srirupa has sent a letter to her father. She has married Sambit.
She will not come back to her house.
Oh my God!
Her Mom is quite sick. We must go there.
Abby, please don’t mind.
Going to cam one.
Cam three, dolly back.
Take cam three.
Take cam two.
Cam three, ready?
Ok. Going to cam one.
Sorry, I meant cam three.
Cam--
No more thinking. Just increase the volume.
What are you doing?
Nothing left to do. You lost the device I gave you.
Your wife has already disappeared.
I can make you disappear too.
Like a whirlwind? A nasty stormy wind!
Are you feeling sick?
No. I’m ok.
You have stopped recording.
Sorry.
Cam three, ready?
Please come in sir.
It's quite furnished.
Someone was staying here few days ago.
-Sir, should I bring tea for you? -Yes.
Come in.
How is it?
If you had a coy girlfriend, she would have said, "It's sweet."
What will you say?
This antique furniture should go. Curtains should be brighter.
And...
I need a piano here.
Piano? It’s too costly.
A music workstation will do.
What is that?
Music workstation.
Electronic keyboard.
What? Didn't they exist in 1980?
How is that possible? I have gone crazy.
Sorry.
Sometimes I think...
That you’re not from Bombay.
Like Rip Van Winkle...
You fell asleep for 20 to 30 years.
The sleep is still in your eyes.
It’s a power cut sir. Don’t move around madam, you may trip down.
I’ll get the lamp.
Strange, the street lamps are on!
Please don’t move sir. If you trip, you will fall asleep again.
This Vinay Prasad, is not just an international musician.
He is also a good friend of our I&B Minister.
Further, we have scored over Calcutta Doordarshan this time.
They didn't get the information.
We are ready sir.
Let’s start. Truly, it’s going to be an incredible experience!
What is this?
I think it’s the wrong tape.
You’re so stupid! Couldn’t you check the tape?
No sir, these two tapes were recorded last night.
Abby Sen has signed here. You may see it sir.
Then where did this cat come from?
Just a minute sir. Please fast forward it.
Yes.
Strange! You can’t even play a tape properly?
What is this? It’s still there!
-Please play the second tape. -Sure!
Yes. You may start.
The horrible plane crash took place only 12 minutes after take-off.
Sanjay Gandhi’s life ended in a tragic accident.
Sanjay Gandhi took off
at 7:58 in the morning.
Captain Subhash Saxena was with him.
Shortly...
the Airport Control Tower saw the plane dropping down.
Stop it.
-And then it crashed down. -Stop it!
There is no recording sir.
What do you mean?
Maybe there was a technical fault. So the recording was not done.
The cassette had cartoons and news reader auditions.
They have remained as it is.
After all it’s a machine. Technical faults always happen.
That is why we play back repeatedly to check the recording.
He didn’t do that sir.
Just a single checking would have avoided this mess.
Water.
-Get me... get me... -Water... Get some water.
Get some water.
Sir?
-What happened, brother-in-law? -Sir!
-Sir... Sir! -Sir, what happened?
What’s the matter with you? Left office at noon.
And no trace for so long? Really strange!
I was about to ask Mom to report to the Police.
What are you doing?
Will you leave me if I lose the job?
No one is leaving you.
Please open the door.
We are standing outside!
Sir.
-Sit down. -Thank you.
Sir, why are you still here?
Is there a new visitor coming?
Not coming, but leaving.
We need to record the farewell speech. Right sir?
Laxman.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
Why is the gardener here, sir?
The gardener should be in the garden.
But he has no place to stay. Their quarter is not ready yet.
So I asked him to stay in the studio.
You did the right thing sir.
Last night, he couldn’t sleep.
Why sir? Mosquitoes?
You kept him awake through the night!
Put on the lamp.
You entered the studio at midnight.
Took these cassettes out.
Erased the recording with the cartoon and news audition!
He is lying sir. He's lying!
How could he be lying?
He has a quality which you people do not have...
-He is morally upright! -Sir...
Please forgive me sir, it was a big blunder.
Believe me, this devil coaxed me to do it.
-He forced me! -Hey!
Don’t lie!
Shut up.
Laxman.
Sir... Please forgive me sir, I have two young children sir.
-Samik, are you through? -Yes, sir.
-Getting the envelopes ready sir. -Listen...
-Sir... Sir please, sir. -That's not needed. Leave it.
Listen, if I give your dismissal letters by hand...
Can you carry them in your pocket?
I don’t think you need an envelope.
Sir... Please, sir...
Is your job, the most important aspect of your life?
That’s the yardstick for everything.
Oh.
Really?
Your job at Grand Channel is more important than me?
Then why did you embrace me?
Go to your office and hug your job.
In class seven, I had a bad score in mathematics.
I was quite depressed.
I was crying bitterly.
Dad told me, why are you bothered with such a trivial issue?
You’ll face many exams in life.
Some will be good, some bad...
But always remember,
no exam is larger than life!
Next year, Dad was diagnosed with blood cancer.
He was only 45.
Days before he died, he told me...
Don’t cry.
Even cancer,
is not larger than life.
Oh sorry...
You need this hand to hug your job.
I should leave now.
I'll take the driver. It’s already late.
Dear...
My life...
always gets strangely similar to some cinema!
That’s great.
Then you have nothing to worry about.
As long as there is cinema...
Your dreams can't be stopped.
-Good morning sir. -Morning.
You’re doing the right thing.
Later on, there will be no scope to walk here.
There will be a huge bridge here. And no one could get below that.
Where would you walk? Very good. Carry on.
Correct. Doing the right thing.
Get a good stock of fresh oxygen.
In the future, there will be a wide road here.
Streams of vehicles would create too much pollution.
And no fresh air! Carry on. Carry on.
Very good... very good. Correct.
The number of lunatics are increasing rapidly!
It’s because of the stress.
If it goes like this, after 30 years...
Lunatics and non-lunatics would come to an equal ratio!
-Bye. -Ok.
"If she glances at me covertly..."
"Please do not notice it."
"No, do not notice it."
"If my beloved whispers..."
"sweet nothings in my ear..."
Oh!
Heard the golden voice after a long while.
Oh!
I’m Hiran Samanta. Good morning.
-Morning. -Priyangshu Sharma has sent me.
The scientist, whose capsule brought you here!
Your wife will drive me mad.
She reported to the police that I’ve made you disappear!
The police is threatening to arrest me.
What nonsense!
If he is arrested, the police would thrash him in custody.
And all microchips planted in his body would be broken!
So he will cease to have control over you.
Do you know what’ll happen to you?
You will keep rotating around the world like a satellite.
You’ll get nowhere!
At best you’ll be denoted as a satellite in Children’s Book of Physics!
A very small reference, like a dot.
You cannot stay in 1980 Or return to 2013!
Just a non-entity!
What should I do now?
You will go back with me. No other alternative.
I’m here to take you back. Here is our return ticket.
Two capsules. Let’s go.
No, I can’t go like this.
Then how will you go?
I need another capsule.
For whom?
Please connect with the scientist.
Why?
No. You take one capsule and go back.
And return with three capsules!
Is it a shuttle service? Going from one bus stop to another?
My wife is quite tensed already.
Convinced her on condition that...
I would buy gold at cheaper rate!
Take it and let’s go back.
No.
What’s bothering you?
I can’t go without Paroma.
Paroma? What about your wife?
My wife is gone. Vanished!
Vanished? I saw her yesterday.
What nonsense!
My mother-in-law has married someone else in place of my father-in-law.
So what?
The genealogical order has been messed up...
My wife would never come back!
Oh, now I know the source of the confusion.
Yesterday, a gentleman came to meet the scientist.
You say that good films are being made in Bengal.
But there is no audience!
I can’t vouch for others. But my film is of international standard.
Then you shouldn’t panic. Your film would certainly get an audience.
No! The audience is glued to television. They don’t come to the hall.
What can I do?
You’ve invented a capsule for time travel.
I need such a capsule.
For instigating the audience to watch my film!
Don’t worry, I’ve muscle power.
What?
I mean my men would forcibly feed the audience with the capsule!
How awful! And what a crazy idea!
You can’t do just anything with a capsule!
Quite impossible. Only government can help you.
-Government? -Yes.
What will the government do?
They could make watching films mandatory for all!
The Ration Card gets invalid if you do not use it for a while.
Similarly, if you don’t watch at least one Bengali film in a week,
your Adhar Card would be seized!
Next, please come.
-I need some clarification... -You may go now.
-What's this? -Mother...
Why are you here?
You have lodged complaint with the police. Go to them.
It’s not that. You are mistaken.
No, I am not.
The man who left right now was Sambit Bose?
Why? What do you have with him?
-He is my first husband. -What?
What! Your first husband? So you married twice?
Your son-in-law doesn’t know that. Oh my God!
My daughter knows everything.
Telling her husband is entirely her discretion.
No use telling people about a marriage which lasted only 72 hours!
Returned home this morning.
That scoundrel is a fraud.
The paintings were fake. Drawn by art college students.
Was married even earlier. Was a novelist then!
Rascal!
It’s all over Sree. You have come back.
No one can harm you now.
Hey...
One person tried to dissuade me.
I misunderstood him.
Who is that?
Abby. I didn’t tell you who he is.
"Neither for the purpose Of going yonder."
"Nor for the purpose Of acquiring anything."
"He has no demands at all."
"The key to Dreamland..."
"Has got lost to the world."
"Awake, I think this itself."
"I have heard the call beyond dreams."
Can I meet Paroma?
"Within my heart, bloom Unrequited flowers of yearning."
"The sky fills up..."
"with their wayward fragrances."
"He, who I search through song."
"He, who has descended."
"To the depths of my soul."
"It is he who has stolen..."
"The key to my Dreamland."
"Awake, I think this itself."
"I have heard the call beyond dreams."
When he called the price, I thought it was of silver.
I kept telling him, "The rate of gold! Not silver!"
He told me, that's what the rate of gold was!
I could never recollect that gold was so cheap!
But it’s difficult to carry.
After going back, we will be celebrities.
It would have been nice to stay back for a few more days.
My days, within my golden cage...
Did not remain.
O, those colourful days of mine.
Something incredible has happened.
The man who has been through this incredible feat...
-will appear before us... -He has proven that nothing is impossible.
Just a television producer, and now he's a part of history.
A strange journey.
The greatest scientific marvel of recent times.
-What a great story! -Everyone is talking about one thing.
-The man who has been through... -His name is Abby Sen.
-This is just incredible... -This man has achieved...
About 25000 people are waiting over here.
I knew you would skip the reception, and come to me first.
I will not go there at all.
But everyone is waiting for you. You are a big celebrity now.
I didn’t want to be a celebrity. Just wanted a job.
Nothing else.
The entire world knows you now. How many jobs do you want?
How are you dear?
I am almost dead.
How could you leave me? I love you so much.
You never thought about me. Left me alone.
You are so irresponsible. Never bothered about me.
You do not have any feelings for me!
"Alone and sleepless."
"At midnight."
"If you can hear The lost rhythm of life."
"Will you put the light on And flip open the diary?"
"To unburden your heart with"
"thousands of words."
If ever, a cinema is made on my life...
Should it end with the caption, "And they lived happily ever after"?
You have to decide on that...
Winning entries would be rewarded!
