[bunniefuu]

[Title Montage]

[Song playing on radio]

[Sujata] The lyrics of

this song are so sweet, Right?

- [Yawns]

- Sorry.

Ronnie, why did you have to come?

You're so tired.

I would have gone on my own.

[Song playing in radio]

Sweetheart,

it's the just the airport.

If I could, I would've

dropped you to London.

And if I could, I would

make you stay there for good.

Forever.

- Soon. - [Radio Announcement]

This is Aakashwani.

Very soon. - [Radio Announcement]

An important announcement.

[Radio Announcement] The threat

of the increasing epidemic

has forced the government

to take strict actions.

The airport staff have

been given orders to screen

all the passengers

flying out of the country.

This means the security at

the airport will be really tight.

They'll test me for Cholera.

[Radio Announcement]

To take stern measures.

I'm going to miss

my flight for sure.

What happened?

Why did you stop the car?

See.

You are Dr. Ronoy Biswas's

daughter.

Dr. Ronobir Chatterjee's

future wife.

[Ronobir] You grew up in London.

You can't be affected

by these diseases of the poor.

Third world diseases like

Cholera can't even touch you.

That's well and good.

But who is going to

tell that to the airport staff?

Me.

In case, you haven't noticed

I can convince people.

[Madhu] Kusum, have food.

Mom, I am not hungry. I will

just have tea.

[Door closes]

[Song playing]

[Ronobir] You know I like you.

[Song playing]

[Knocks on door]

[Song playing]

[Door opens]

[Song playing]

I don't take no for an answer.

So will you come

with me to the prom?

With me?

[Song playing]

And open the door as well.

[Knocks on door]

[Door opens]

Oh. You?

Come.

Thanks

for getting flowers for me.

Thank you so much.

[Door closes]

[Madhu] Ratan?

- Come.

- Aunt.

[Ratan] These are for you.

So sweet. Thank you.

At least someone values them.

[Knocks on door]

[Kusum] Where are you going

all dressed up?

People dress well for the prom.

You are not ready?

I am not going.

Oh. I was wondering

if we could go to together.

[Sprays perfume]

Ronnie. Just see if it's okay.

No.

In my cupboard, second shirt

from the right. It will suit you.

[Indranill] As if putting

on your

shirt will give him

a luck like you.

[Subhash] Seriously.

[Subhash] I still

can't believe

what happened at your

birthday party.

You kissed someone.

But put the ring on someone else.

That's why I don't believe in luck.

[Ronobir] When I see

something, I go for it.

Did you call the driver?

[Writik] Yes.

He is downstairs. Getting the tea.

Perfect. Boys, we leave in five.

[Indranill] I need to change.

Wait, guys.

[Writik] Whom are

you going to the prom with?

Is it some new girl?

That will be a bit much, right?

I'm glad Sujata is in London.

So guess what?

It's going to be us and lot of fun.

Indranill, these communist colours

doesn't suit us.

Change it.

There are two bow ties on my table.

Get both.

You.

You don't get to party with us.

- Wait, Ronnie. - Alright, boys.

It is time to move.

- Ronnie. Are you serious?

- Absolutely.

Come on, Indranill. Hurry.

- Indranill, come.

- [Indranill] Come on.

[Music playing]

This is going to

be the best punch ever.

Hello.

Get up.

Get up.

It is a scientific fact, my friend.

The more drunk a girl

is the more handsome I look.

[Sucks teeth]

Oh. Mrs. Jones.

Mrs. Jones, I must say you look

really beautiful in this dress.

Subhash. Look at you. All grown up.

[Mrs. Jones] Or mature?

It was the first year of college

when you had chickenpox, right?

I know your mother

was so worried about you.

It's going to affect your manhood.

Take care. Enjoy the party.

[Song playing]

Look over there.

Geek queen and nerd king.

Big deal.

Thank you.

[Paromita] Wow, Kusum.

We just couldn't recognise you.

You look so different.

- Thank you.

- [Girl 1] Oh look. Rono is here.

What a bh.

[Music playing]

- Should we dance?

- Sure.

[Footsteps]

[Song playing]

[Ronobir] You are turning me

down for this patriotic nerd.

You could have done

better than that.

Your evening hasn't

even started yet.

And you cannot be

faithful to your date.

[Kusum] How dare you, Charu?

Did you forget what happened

at the birthday party yesterday?

[Charulata] What, Kusum?

What's the problem?

[Kusum] You.

[Kusum] I shared my

feelings and you just

I just what?

Ronobir is not your property.

So go give him what he wants.

I will.

So you stay here

and protect your virginity.

I am not easy like you.

You're a prude.

Boring, dried up virgin.

Protect your virginity.

I know how to live my life.

[Song playing]

I will show you.

[Footsteps]

- [Kusum] Come.

- What?

Pappy Van Winkle who was

a really big whiskey baron.

He once said.

To bring out the taste of whiskey,

you should mix just

15ml of water in 60ml whiskey.

Neither more nor less.

The taste gets spoiled

if it gets a off balance.

Dad, you said Monday.

And it's Wednesday today.

[Dr. Ronoy Biswas]

Tell me something.

Are you sure about this?

Will Rono be able to add

the right balance to your life?

Yes, dad. I am very sure.

Please tell me that you have sent

his recommendation letter.

William will send it today.

And Ronobir should

receive it within a week.

[Chuckles]

Dad, you're the best.

- [Sujata] I love you.

- [Kisses]

- Love you, dad.

- Love you, dear.

[Sujata] Bye.

[Footsteps]

- I am not a prude.

- No?

Okay.

No! This is wrong.

But I want to be with you.

[Thundering]

Why?

So that you can show

that you're not a prude.

Don't do it to show it to

someone else.

I love you.

[Song playing]

You love me, right?

[Song playing]

[Ronobir] For Kusum, that moment

was no less than magic.

Except that it was happening

in the real world.

She saw heaven in my arms.

And her present and future in me.

And me

[Chuckles]

Jackpot.

One more strike

among the many strikes.

It was not like I

was not in the moment

or I didn't enjoy it.

But I mean

You know what I mean.

Good morning, mumma.

Good morning.

Are the results out?

No. Next week.

Why are you so cheerful?

- [Kisses]

- [Song playing]

[Tram moving]

[Song playing]

[Charulata] Paro, what's the time?

It's time for someone

to get dumped, my darling.

[Song playing]

Strawberries.

They are an aphrodisiac.

[Song playing]

I don't want it.

[Song playing]

Is it working?

[Song playing]

[Kusum] Baby.

[Song playing]

Baby?

[Song playing]

[Door closes]

[Ronobir] And the

day finally arrived

when I got the

recommendation letter

which was my ticket to London.

[Footsteps]

[Knocks on door]

[Door opens]

Do you live alone?

Where are your parents?

[Ronobir] Darjeeling.

They own a tea estate.

They come here only for

Goddess Durga's veneration.

So it means it's just us here.

[Music playing]

- [Screaming]

- [Heavy breathing]

I love horror films.

It's okay.

[Kusum] Okay, listen.

I am going to go

and use the washroom.

Sure.

Sharmila.

Sharmila.

- Kusum, how are you?

- Good.

Wow. You got married?

- [Sharmila] Yes.

- Congratulations.

[Sharmila] He is Uday.

- Are you pregnant with his

- No.

Uday is a good husband. Nice.

[Sharmila] Good job.

Good house.

The boy who impregnated me

in college

he couldn't take

my responsibility

Kusum, you find

many boys like these.

Popular. Handsome.

The girls are crazy for them.

They excite you.

But when excitement

increases in life,

you hurt yourself.

But what about love?

Who said there is no love?

This is also love.

And it's enough.

I'm very, very happy.

- You have changed, right?

- What?

You love me.

You are not like the other

boys who can leave someone.

Right?

You have changed me, Kusum.

It's 22nd today, right?

Have your periods started?

It will in a couple of days.

[Ronobir] The pregnancy test

was positive or not.

These tests used to

happen back then as well now.

Just the methods have changed.

But there is still

no method to check one thing.

To see if the emotion was positive.

Damn it. There is no test for it.

[Footsteps]

[Kusum] Baby, come on.

Come on.

- [Subhash] Oh. Baby. - [Kusum]

Come. I need to talk to you.

Kusum, where are you taking me?

[Ronobir] Kusum, we get it.

Back office.

What are you doing?

[Kusum] You asked what's important.

This is important.

Our life is important.

[Ronobir] What could it be more

important than the pictures?

I'm pregnant.

[Ronobir] What?

- Are you sure? - Yes.

I did the blood test.

Listen. No one will know.

[Kusum] We will get married

before that, right?

We can manage this at least.

Everyone will feel the

child is arriving early.

I'm so happy. We'll be so happy.

We'll be happy, right?

Ronnie.

I don't think this is true.

You have to abort

the fetus right away.

Do you understand?

- [Sighs]

- Right away.
