2. 0:40Abba...
3. 0:42Is it really okay to just show up in Dhaka without even calling Chhoto Chacha?
4. 0:46What?
5. 0:47I'm saying... shouldn't we have called Chhoto Chacha before leaving for Dhaka?
6. 0:52Oh, come on!
7. 0:54I'm going to my own younger brother's house
8. 0:57Why should I call ahead?
9. 0:58When Osman used to visit us
10. 1:01Did he ever call first?
11. 1:03Did he ask for permission? Then why should I need permission to visit him?
12. 1:07Ugh, Abba! You always overcomplicate everything!
13. 1:12Once we’re in Dhaka, won’t I have to get admitted to university?
14. 1:15And I’ll have to stay at their place, too
15. 1:17Plus... Abba, most importantly, it’s going to cost a lot of money
16. 1:22Urgh, why are you stressing over expenses?
17. 1:25He has a good job. He earns well
18. 1:28You literally grew up riding on his shoulders when you were little
19. 1:32If he can do something for you now, it’ll make him happy. It'll make him genuinely happy
20. 1:37You're only thinking about it that way, Abba
21. 1:39But Chacha might not see it like that
22. 1:42Look...
23. 1:44Chacha isn't alone anymore, he has Chachi
24. 1:47And they have a little boy now, too
25. 1:50Besides... remember
26. 1:52When Chachi visited us right after the wedding?
27. 1:54She didn't even speak two nice words to me
28. 1:57And you just accused me of overcomplicating things
29. 2:01Look who's actually overthinking everything now!
30. 2:04She didn't talk much back then? She'll talk now
31. 2:07Osman is my own younger brother
32. 2:10What haven't I done for him in life?
33. 2:15Though, of course, I did it out of duty and responsibility
34. 2:19Now... it's his turn to fulfill his responsibility toward you
35. 2:23Just because it was your duty doesn't mean it's automatically his, Abba!
36. 2:27Look... I don't want Chacha to feel uncomfortable or put on the spot because of me
37. 2:33Unbelievable!
38. 2:35Why are you filling your head with such thoughts?
39. 2:39Listen...
40. 2:41There is no greater fortune in life
41. 2:44Than being able to do something for your own family
42. 2:47This is a happy thing. He will be happy. He'll love it
43. 2:50Ugh, Abba... you just refuse to understand anything!
44. 2:54Fine...
45. 2:55You don't need to explain anything to me. Just think back for a second
46. 2:59When you were little
47. 3:00Osman wouldn't even use his own favorite things
48. 3:04Until he let you use them first. Why?
49. 3:07Think about how much he genuinely loves you
50. 3:10Now you listen to me
51. 3:12Chacha used to do that. Not Chachi
52. 3:17Abba...
53. 3:19I never want you to have to be small or feel humiliated in front of anyone because of me
54. 3:25What's there to feel small about?
55. 3:27There is no shame in asking for help when it's for education
56. 3:31You just focus on your studies properly
57. 3:34Let me worry about the rest
58. 3:36Trust in Allah
59. 3:39All you do is talk and talk—just endless, useless talk
60. 3:43I can't even get you to understand anything!
61. 3:45You don't need to explain things to me, you need to understand things yourself
62. 3:47Do you ever actually listen to a single word I say?
63. 5:48I think the doorbell is broken
64. 5:52Osman?
65. 5:56Osman?
66. 5:59Farish?
67. 6:02Farish?
68. 6:03Open the door, look who's here
69. 6:11Osman?
70. 6:16Abba?
71. 6:18What did I just say?
72. 6:20Oh come on, they must have stepped out. Wait, let me call him
73. 6:27Why are you getting so restless?
74. 6:29Can't they have things to do?
75. 6:39Baba, Baba, your phone's ringing
76. 6:48Baba, your phone's ringing
77. 6:57Ammu
78. 6:59Ammu
79. 7:02What? - Baba's phone is ringing
80. 7:04Alright, go on, I’ll look into it - Alright
81. 7:18Abba, did Chacha pick up?
82. 7:24Did he pick up?
83. 7:34Maybe...
84. 7:36He's... probably busy. He'll answer. Why wouldn't he answer?
85. 7:39You just always blindly take his side
86. 7:41Wait, wait—hold on!
87. 7:53Abba...
88. 7:55What now?
89. 7:57Come on, let's just go back to the village
90. 7:59Please, shut up!
91. 8:01You always think you know everything!
92. 8:02There you go again—
93. 8:04Telling me I 'overcomplicate' everything! You're the one overcomplicating your life!
94. 8:07I don't even want to study in Dhaka. If I stay here...
95. 8:10If I'm not even there with you, who is going to look after you?!
96. 8:12Oh come on, shut up!
97. 8:15Osman! - Let's go. I don't need to study in Dhaka
98. 8:17Let's just go. Come on - What are you doing?
99. 8:19Take it easy, easy
100. 8:28Hey Abba, what are you doing?!
101. 8:30Ah, hold on, let me check... - You don't even know these people!
102. 8:33Let me check...
103. 8:36Adil?
104. 8:37Adil?
105. 8:39Yes, Amma?
106. 8:40Baba, go see who's at the door
107. 8:42Alright, checking
108. 8:44I honestly don't know what to do with you anymore...
109. 8:53Assalamu Alaikum - Walaikum Assalam
110. 8:56Son...
111. 8:57We came up to the second floor looking for my younger brother
112. 9:01I've been knocking on the door, ringing the bell
113. 9:06But nobody is opening
114. 9:08Uncle, nobody lives on the second floor
115. 9:11The people who used to live in this flat moved away two months ago
116. 9:16You don't say!
117. 9:18Do you know where they went? Did they leave a forwarding address or anything?
118. 9:22I couldn't tell you. We only moved into this building a month ago
119. 9:27Oh... I see. Alright then
120. 9:30Thank you
121. 9:31Sorry for disturbing you - It's okay
122. 9:36And this is why I told you that you never listen to a word I say. Do you see it now?
123. 10:10The number you called cannot be reached at the moment
124. 10:16Abba?
125. 10:19What happened?
126. 10:20It's... not going through
127. 10:23Must be a network problem
128. 10:28Abba
129. 10:30Osman Chacha isn't the same person he used to be
130. 10:33He's changed
131. 10:35Do city people really have the time to pick up calls from people like us?
132. 10:40Come on... no more talking, let's just go
133. 10:44Water... I need water
134. 10:57Brother... could you please give us a glass of water?
135. 11:00Oh—yes, of course. Please, come inside
136. 11:02Please, come inside
137. 11:04It's... it's alright, I can walk
138. 11:08I'm so sorry to trouble you like this... please don't mind. Just a little water
139. 11:14Who’s here now?
140. 11:19Adil? - Yes Amma?
141. 11:22Who’s here now?
142. 11:23Guests from second floor - Oh!
143. 11:48Can I help you with anything else?
144. 11:50Son...
145. 11:51We just came in from a long journey
146. 11:56Could my daughter please use your restroom?
147. 12:01Oh, of course
148. 12:02Come with me, please
149. 12:04Come please
150. 12:07Go on
151. 12:10Come - Let those be
152. 12:21Come
153. 12:23My mother
154. 12:26Assalamu Alaikum
155. 12:31Walaikum Assalam
156. 12:50They are the guests from the upstairs flat
157. 12:53Her father is also here with her
158. 12:55But the people who used to live up there moved away two months ago
159. 12:59She just needs to use the washroom
160. 13:02Oh!
161. 13:03Go right ahead, it's right over there
162. 13:07Go
163. 13:09Thank you, Auntie
164. 13:19The number you called cannot be reached at the moment
165. 13:23Please try again later
166. 13:32Your high-and-mighty attitude is never going away, is it?
167. 13:35You don't even know them, and you just blindly brought a young girl straight into the house?
168. 13:39Amma...
169. 13:40Aren't you the one who always taught me that you have to stand by people when they're in trouble?
170. 13:49Let me close it
171. 13:52Let’s go
172. 14:11My son
173. 14:13We've troubled you quite enough already - Oh come on, not at all
174. 14:16Would it be alright... could I trouble you just a little bit more?
175. 14:18Yes, please go ahead. Tell me
176. 14:20The call to prayer has already gone off...
177. 14:22And I have no idea where the nearest mosque is
178. 14:27If you wouldn't mind—would it be all right if I offered my prayers right here?
179. 14:31Of course. Please, head over to that washroom, you can make your ablutions there
180. 14:34I'll go get a prayer mat - Thanks
181. 14:38Let me finish my prayers first, then we'll leave
182. 14:43Give it to me
183. 14:47This way, right?
184. 14:48Amma, I'm taking the prayer mat
185. 14:50The prayer mat? Who is it for? - The girl's father. He wants to offer his prayers
186. 14:53Oh!
187. 15:06Here’s the prayer mat
188. 15:07Do you need a prayer cap?
189. 15:08I’ve mine with you, thanks son - Please come with me
190. 15:16You can say your prayer in this room - Alright
191. 15:43We've...
192. 15:47Troubled you so much. Please don't mind
193. 15:51The truth is...
194. 15:53We came from the village
195. 15:56My younger uncle used to live in this building
196. 16:01But... we had no idea when he changed flats
197. 16:05Abba tried calling him so many times, but...
198. 16:10We couldn't get through to him at all
199. 16:14It's alright. Please, have a seat
200. 17:17Why is he... here?
201. 17:23Your glasses
202. 17:30Let’s go Abba
203. 17:32Hand it to me
204. 17:33It’s okay
205. 17:34I can carry it. I’m alright now
206. 17:41Adil!
207. 17:43Adil? - Coming
208. 17:46My son...
209. 17:49We've troubled you so much
210. 17:50Please don't mind
211. 17:52Thank you so much
212. 17:54We'll be leaving now - Yes, uncle
213. 17:57Come
214. 17:58Assalamu Alaikum
215. 18:00Adil!
216. 18:04Amma?
217. 18:06Why was he here?
218. 18:07Who?
219. 18:08The person who just got out of your room. Why is he here?
220. 18:12I was telling you about him
221. 18:14He was the guest from the flat upstairs
222. 18:15His brother used to live here
223. 18:16They changed the house about two months ago. They didn’t know
224. 18:19And that girl is his daughter
225. 18:22So what?
226. 18:24Why are they here? Ask them to leave
227. 18:26They did leave
228. 18:27They left? - Yes
229. 18:34Why?
230. 18:36Why did they leave? - Why will they stay?
231. 18:40Alright. Go now. Just go
232. 18:44I asked you to leave. Just go
233. 18:49His brother used to live upstairs!
234. 18:55Adil
235. 18:56Adil
236. 18:57Adil
237. 18:58Adil, my son
238. 19:00Amma, please tell me what is wrong with you?
239. 19:02I’m...
240. 19:03Fine
241. 19:04Perfectly fine
242. 19:06Ask...
243. 19:08Ask them to come back
244. 19:11I just told you, they left
245. 19:13They left?
246. 19:15They are not supposed to stay
247. 19:16Oh!
248. 19:19Ask them to come back
249. 19:20Amma, tell me what’s going on with you?
250. 19:24Nothing
251. 19:25Actually...
252. 19:27They came all the way from the village with so much hardship
253. 19:32Look at the girl—without eating
254. 19:35Her face has shrunk to nothing
255. 19:38I don't even think she had a single glass of water
256. 19:40We should feed them something
257. 19:42Go, son, go bring them back
258. 19:45Where am I going to find them now?
259. 19:47If you go downstairs right now, you'll find them. They're still downstairs. Go
260. 19:51Alright, I'll go check - Go on, go!
261. 20:08Noor
262. 20:10Use your phone to give your uncle a call
263. 20:15We're in a massive mess here
264. 20:18Check if you're getting any network
265. 20:31Farish's mother... bring my phone over here, will you?
266. 20:48Abba...
267. 20:50Chacha just declined the call
268. 20:51Oh come on, why would he decline the call? He must be busy with some office work
269. 20:55Abba, today is Friday. Do people even have office on a Friday?
270. 20:58Today is Friday. And calls are just coming in one after another
271. 21:01You've practically turned this house into an office
272. 21:06You don't get it at all... you just talk, and that's it
273. 21:34Hey!
274. 21:36Uncle - What are you watching?
275. 21:37Was watching reels
276. 21:40Someone was beating a person for absolutely no reason at all. Seeing it just felt so awful
277. 21:44Look at this... - You know what's really sad?
278. 21:47Whenever something makes the news in our country
279. 21:51Or whenever some incident pops up on our reels
280. 21:53We react to it right away. We cry, we laugh, we get emotional. And then, a little while later, we forget all about it
281. 21:58You're absolutely right. It's almost like we're betraying our own conscience
282. 22:01People have just become so cold and heartless
283. 22:03Nobody bothers to think anymore
284. 22:05If we see something, some incident
285. 22:08Shouldn't we at least find out whether it's true or false?
286. 22:11We should look into what happened before and after it, too. But no, nobody bothers with any of that
287. 22:15Exactly
288. 22:16How can we know the truth without knowing the whole story?
289. 22:20Absolutely. We need to take the distinction between truth and falsehood seriously
290. 22:23Assalamu Alaikum, Ramiz Uncle
291. 22:24Walaikum Assalam
292. 22:25What's wrong? Why are you huffing and puffing like that?
293. 22:27Don't even ask... Abul Bhai, can I get a cold bottle of water? - Coming right up
294. 22:36Uncle, there you are!
295. 22:39I've been looking everywhere for you!
296. 22:42Why, son? Have we done something wrong?
297. 22:46No, no, Uncle. Amma asked me to bring you both home
298. 22:49Why?
299. 22:53Umm
300. 22:56Son, has she found my younger brother's address?
301. 23:00I'm not sure about that. Amma just asked me to bring you both back
302. 23:07Let’s come. Come - Here
303. 23:09Alright
304. 23:19Didn't even get a chance to drink his water
305. 23:22Must be someone important
306. 23:27Amma? - Hmm?
307. 23:28They're here. I've seated them in the drawing room - Have they settled in?
308. 23:31Go on, bring the girl inside - Which girl?
309. 23:34Abba.. - Hmm?
310. 23:36Let's go back to the village
311. 23:39How much longer can we take this?
312. 23:40Oh!
313. 23:42It looks like we'll have to head back now
314. 23:47But what about your admission?
315. 23:49Go
316. 23:56Uncle, my mother asked her to come inside
317. 24:04Go
318. 24:18Amma
319. 24:22Assalamu Alaikum, Auntie
320. 24:25Walaikum Assalam
321. 24:48What’s your name my child?
322. 24:52Noorjahan Chowdhury - Beautiful name
323. 24:57Really beautiful
324. 24:59You are really beautiful
325. 25:01Mashallah! Really beautiful
326. 25:05How’s your mother and father?
327. 25:09Father is here with me
328. 25:13And mother...
329. 25:17Is no more
330. 25:19It’s been two years
331. 25:22Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return)
332. 25:30Don’t feel sad my child
333. 25:34I am here. I am also like your mother
334. 25:38Mother
335. 25:42I am like a mother
336. 25:52Go serve him some puffed rice
337. 25:55Just the puffed rice? - No problem, my father likes only puffed...
338. 26:00Abba actually really likes puffed rice without anything a lot
339. 26:06A lot?
340. 26:09He likes it?
341. 26:16Uncle, just the puffed rice
342. 26:20I really love simple puffed rice
343. 26:23Thank you
344. 26:47My child
345. 26:49Your hands are really soft
346. 26:53It seems like you have a soft heart
347. 26:58Your... uncle?
348. 27:04He works in some company here in Dhaka
349. 27:07He has a son as well
350. 27:09Son?
351. 27:11He...
352. 27:14I mean his address?
353. 27:18I don’t have it, Auntie
354. 27:20My father tried to call him few times but...
355. 27:25He couldn’t reach him
356. 27:27You don’t know the address of your uncle?
357. 27:32No problem. You can stay here
358. 27:35What?!
359. 27:37I mean until you find your uncle
360. 27:42You both are going to stay right here with us. You'll stay in comfort
361. 27:59In your home
362. 28:02I figured there is your mother
363. 28:05Isn’t there anyone else? I mean... your father?
364. 28:13I am really sorry
365. 28:16I think I may have asked a wrong question
366. 28:18It’s okay
367. 28:23Is he...
368. 28:25Alive? I mean where is he?
369. 28:29I don’t even know
370. 28:30If he’s alive or not
371. 28:33I’ never met him. Don’t want to either
372. 28:36Oh! Uncle
373. 28:39Please don’t mind
374. 28:41I may have crossed my limit. I’m really sorry
375. 28:50Adil?
376. 29:33The cooking...
377. 29:36It's just like my mother's cooking. Exactly the same taste
378. 29:41My mother is an amazing cook
379. 29:43Pray for me. I'm off to tutor a student
380. 29:44You're going to tutor? Where did you find a student?
381. 29:46Mustakim Bhai set it up for me
382. 29:48Mustakim is a first-class fraud
383. 29:50Stay away from that guy
384. 29:52Can I ask you something?
385. 29:54Sure, go ahead
386. 29:56How long do you think you'll last?
387. 29:58Noorjahan!
388. 30:03Abba, I’ll be right back
