1
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Monirul!

2
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Ma'am.

3
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Ma'am.

4
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Are you sleeping?

5
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,960
There we go again.

6
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160
What do you do
with that broken, old radio?

7
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Go back to the past?

8
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
You haven't told us the menu
for tomorrow.

9
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,800
You'll rush
in the morning.

10
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520
And blame me
if anything goes wrong.

11
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720
What a hassle!

12
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Yellow mung lentil soup.

13
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,360

00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,640
Dry pumpkin curry.

15
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,840
And see if you get
fresh mullet fish.

16
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,280
-Is the fish fresh?
-Yeah.

17
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Hurry up.
Ma'am needs to get on with the cooking.

18
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Yeah, yeah.

19
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Steamed rice.
Yellow mung lentil soup.

20
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Fried eggplants.

21
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160
-Don't have eggplants.
-We'll get it.

22
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,920
Dry pumpkin curry,
mullet fish in mustard sauce

23
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,520
and elephant apple chutney.

24
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,360
Elephant apple!

INDUBALA'S HOTEL

41
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,600
Joba, please switch on the water pump.

42
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,200
-Why didn't fill the tank?
-Please do it.

43
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,720
(indistinct chatter)

44
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Make sure
tomorrow the fish is fresh too.

45
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Yeah.

46
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,240
(indistinct chatter)

47
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,600
Isn't mashed taro on the menu today?

48
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,880
You haven't made mashed taro today?

49
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,840
(indistinct chatter)

50
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Have you had lunch yet?

51
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,840
Where do you live?

52
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,840
In the hostel nearby.

53
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,400
I moved in today.

54
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,360
Too late for mashed taro.

55
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Dhona will warm up
some rice for you.

56
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,960
There's lentil soup
and pumpkin curry to go with it.

57
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Flat bread will take some time.

58
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Want some roasted eggplants
with mango pickle oil?

59
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,320
S**t!

60
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Sorry, Grandma.

61
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Can you repeat, please?
I want to record it.

62
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,560
Get the jar from the shelf.

63
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,880
I'll have some rice
with roasted eggplants.

64
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,160
-What's your name?
-Sanchari.

65
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Put it down in the register.

66
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Wow.
It's a lovely name.

67
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,640
Who named you?

68
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040
-Your mother?
-Nope. She couldn't.

69
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,360
She died the day I was born.

70
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,040
My dad named me.

71
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Even he's no more.

72
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,040
My uncle and aunt
are my local guardians.

73
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,520
I'm from Krishnanagar.

74
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,560
But my college is here,
so I've to live in a hostel.

75
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,680
I saw more pickles
on the shelf.

76
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,320
What other pickles do you have?

77
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,840
Just hearing about pickles
won't fill your stomach.

78
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Pickles are meant to be tasted.

79
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,920
They're meant to be eaten
with hand.

80
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,800
My granny loved pickles.

81
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,320
She had huge jars
full of mango pickle.

82
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Sometimes elephant apple pickle.

83
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,640
Sometimes plum pickle.

84
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,480
Sometimes, tamarind.

85
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,520
A pickle for every season.

86
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,920
And it wasn't just pickles.

87
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,800
She'd separate the oil
and cook with it.

88
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,920
It's a big hassle.

89
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040
I can't do all that.

90
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Your lunch is ready.

91
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Why do you care about my gab
and my rundown shop?

92
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,920
Are you kidding me?

93
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,360
The social media group
for Indubala's Hotel is very popular.

94
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,440
I'm a member too.

95
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,120
But I'm no longer a virtual member.
I'm an official member now.

96
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
I want to vlog about your dishes.

97
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:04,080
I have an online channel
with 157 subscribers.

98
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,960
Hmm.

99
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,840
So, when are you making
mashed taro?

100
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,320
We don't serve mashed taro.

101
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,720
Delicious!

102
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,560
What do you mean
you don't serve it?

103
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Amalendu has praised

104
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,040
your famous mashed taro
with coconut and green chillies.

105
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,120
Who is Amalendu?

106
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400
He was a regular customer here
in the '80s.

107
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,560
He's a Physics professor
at Krishnanagar College.

108
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:39,920
Do you recognise him?

109
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,600
So many people
have eaten at my restaurant.

110
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,240
Can't remember them all anymore.

111
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
I've grown old now.

112
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,400
What are you looking at?

113
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800
You eat exactly like my granny.

114
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,560
I'll use this grandma connection
to blackmail you.

115
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,760
I'm dangerous!

116
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Anyway, good for me.

117
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,920
So, when are you making mashed taro?
Tomorrow?

118
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960
I'm posting it on social media.

119
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
I'll certainly make it for you
one day.

120
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,600
-Don't post anything--
-No excuses.

121
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,680
You have to make mashed taro
for me.

122
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Lunch was great!

123
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,360
I'll be back for mashed taro tomorrow.

124
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Bye.

125
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Dhona...

126
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,360
-Dhona.
-Hmm?

127
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Run the hot water for my bath.

128
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,240
This girl is hell bent
on having mashed taro.

129
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080
Why didn't you tell her
we don't serve it?

130
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Rubbish!

131
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Go on before the water gets cold.

132
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,000
I'll keep it there.

133
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,080
(song playing)

134
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,120
THE MAHABHARATA

135
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,240
(reciting from the Mahabharata)

136
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,040
Mom!

137
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,960
The money lender is back.

138
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Anyone home?

139
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,160
They haven't given back
the money they owe me.

140
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Where are you?
Come out, you jerk!

141
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,560
Give back my money.

142
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920
I'll take my money
no matter what.

143
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,880
Come out!

144
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280
-Won't leave without my money today.
-Sold off everything.

145
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Didn't leave a penny for his family.

146
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,400
Not fit for society!

147
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440
Throw these beggars out!

148
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,320
Go live in the slums.

149
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,360
-Don't care if your husband died.
-Exactly.

150
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,520
Cut the drama!

151
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,000
I'm not leaving
without my money.

152
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Come out, you hear me?

153
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040
She won't.
She's going to sit tight.

154
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,320
Can you hear me?
Come out!

155
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,640
Give back my money.

156
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,320
Her husband taught her well.
She won't come out.

157
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,960
How many times
do I have to repeat myself?

158
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,840
That thief took off with my money.

159
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,400
Bloody cheats!

160
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,520
-Kick them out!
-Right.

161
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,040
The husband was always
with some broad.

162
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,640
He obviously didn't have money.

163
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,360
-What's a broad, Mom?
-Hush!

164
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Huh! What do you expect?

165
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,600
The sons will turn out to be
like the father.

166
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,440
-Right you are.
-It's in their blood.

167
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,440
-What a disgrace!
-Stop hiding, you coward.

168
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,360
I want my money back.

169
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,440
-(reciting from the Mahabharata)-Come out at once! You hear me?

170
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,040
-(reciting from the Mahabharata)
-(indistinct chatter)

171
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Hey!

172
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,160
Wait a minute.

173
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,480
-What's the matter?
-You thief! Come out!

174
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,440
What's that stench?

175
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,720
Me.
It's coming from me.

176
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,000
-Who are you?
-It's the stench of fish.

177
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,800
I'll show you.
Come here.

178
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,120
-Come, I'll explain everything.
-Tell me.

179
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200
-Ma'am asked for some time, right?
-Yeah. But I want my money.

180
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,960
-Is it time yet?
-Yeah, it is!

181
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,760
Mom, Lachmi aunty is here.

182
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
-Why are you making a scene here?
-I want my money.

183
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,240
-Get out.
-How dare you?

184
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,560
I'll show you!

185
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,800
-What will you do?
-Just wait, you swine!

186
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,320
-What can you do?
-Get out!

187
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,080
-Get the hell out!
-Stop it!

188
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,920
-Out! Right now!
-You can't talk like that.

189
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,160
-Go away!
-Shut up.

190
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
-Go! Sort it out later.
-I won't leave.

191
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
-Another whore. Who the hell are you?
-Me?

192
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,320
-I'll tell you who I am.
-Hey! Who are you?

193
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,640
I'm warrior Queen Lakshmibai of Jhansi.

194
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080
-Get out! All of you!
-You can't do this!

195
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,840
-Oh! A broad is a warrior.
-Quiet.

196
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,760
That's our very own Lachmi aunty.

197
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,240
-Get out!
-Hey!

198
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,440
-Give me my money.
-You'll get it. Now get lost!

199
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,880
-Out!
-He's a bad guy.

200
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,560
-Get lost, all of you!
-(indistinct yelling)

201
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,200
What are you waiting for, you geezer?
Get out!

202
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,360
-I won't spare you.
-Hey!

203
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Get lost, a**hole!

204
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Her husband just died
and they're here for money.

205
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,360
Bloody bastards!

206
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Ma'am.

207
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,240
Ma'am--

208
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,680
What are you looking at, huh?

209
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720
-Get lost! Go on.
-Yeah, yeah, we're leaving.

210
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,080
-Let's go.
-Don't talk to the lowly fish monger.

211
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,800
Just watching the show!

212
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,240
(reciting from the Mahabharata)

213
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Ma'am.

214
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,120
(reciting from the Mahabharata)

215
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Why are you scared?

216
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Mom, everyone's left.

217
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Bro!

218
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600
This is your house, isn't it?

219
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,120
How can anyone throw you out?

220
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,040
Don't worry about the loan.
We'll figure out a way.

221
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Now listen.

222
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,120
I'll be having lunch here.

223
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,680
I missed my usual train.

224
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,880
If I don't eat something now,
how will I pull through till night?

225
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,360
Here.

226
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,120
You know something, Lachmi?

227
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Back in our house in Kolapota...

228
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,080
we never let anyone leave
without a meal.

229
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,600
There was never a dearth of food.

230
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:25,040
Take this.

231
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,400
(song playing)

232
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,960
Pradip.

233
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,200
-Pradip!
-Yes, Mom.

234
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,800
-Hurry up.
-I'm here.

235
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,160
-Get some rice from Tapan's shop.
-Okay.

236
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,560
-Wear your shoes.
-Yeah.

237
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
-Come back soon.
-Okay.

238
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,480
(song playing)

239
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,200
I'll get fresh fish for you tomorrow.

240
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,000
From where?

241
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,520
Straight from the sea.

242
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,160
It's making me hungry already!

243
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Mom, lunch!

244
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,000
-Let's go, kids.
-Yeah.

245
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,520
Let's see if your mom's done cooking.

246
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,760
Ma'am!

247
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,520
-Ma'am! Ma'am!
-Ma'am!

248

249
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:50,480
-Ma'am, I'm leaving.
-Here's the rest of your money.

250
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Why?

251
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,640
I'll have lunch here tomorrow again.

252
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,720
I can't give you change every day.

253
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,600
And Dayaram will be here too.
He's from my village.

254
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,680
Please keep some food for us.

255
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,720
Okay, bye.

256
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,720
See you tomorrow.

Mom!

259
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,720
There'll be many people tomorrow.

260
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,040
What will you make?

261
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,520
