Bhooth Bangla (भूत बंगला)

The rain won't stop.

We must've missed our train.

Who should we ask?

Let's ask the station master.

Come on.

Over here.

-Hello, sir. -Mister.

Did we miss the 1:00 a.m. passenger train?

Who is he?

Kumbakaran's uncle.

-Hello. -Brother, get up.

Sir.

Did we miss the 1:00 a.m. passenger train?

A train has to arrive before you can miss it.

The tracks are flooded.

All the trains are running late.

When will the train arrive?

You'll know when it arrives.

Come on, man. He sounds like my father.

Hey!

It's freezing.

-Jassi bro. -Yes?

Look, someone's lit a bonfire.

-Let's go there. -Yes.

-Let's go. -Yes.

Uncle, greetings. It's very cold. Can we sit here with you?

Uncle, are you a local?

He isn't talking.

We came from Delhi to attend a friend's wedding.

People told us that years ago, no one could get married here.

The bride would disappear on her wedding day.

There was a time when that happened.

But that was many years ago.

What time is it?

It's only seven o'clock. Don't worry.

We'll reach Lucknow in an hour.

The flight leaves at 10:30 p.m. We have plenty of time.

What's happening?

You can't go any further. A tree has fallen due to the heavy rains.

But we have to reach Lucknow in an hour.

You can't use this road.

Several trees have fallen.

Take the Mangalpur route.

Mangalpur?

What are you thinking?

Just follow the route he's suggesting.

We have a flight to catch.

But… it's dangerous, sir.

What danger?

Sir, newlywed couples are forbidden

from using that route.

Why?

Sir, people say demons abduct brides there.

What nonsense.

We don't believe in that kind of folklore.

Come on, start the vehicle.

It's not folklore, sir.

I'm from Mangalpur myself.

The last bride disappeared 12 years ago.

Since then, no one has gotten married here,

and no bride has passed that way.

We're going to miss our flight because of your folklore.

Just turn the bus around, and let's go.

What happened now?

Sir, the tire is flat.

Oh, God.

Everyone will have to get off.

Get some rest. I'll call you once I change the tire.

It's really cold.

Come over here.

Sit here. I'll get some tea.

-Yes. -Come, sit.

-Grab a shawl. -Yes.

The weather suddenly turned cold today.

Doesn't matter. Have this hot cup of tea.

Mother-in-law.

Oh, man!

Uncle, there's no signal.

I don't think we'll catch the flight.

Oh, God. What mess have we landed in?

-It's getting colder, too. -Tea?

Yes, thank you.

Stay with me.

Now I understand why you kept saying

that Dushyant Maharaj didn't want to meet anyone.

The doctors said

he had a terrible contagious disease.

He didn't step out of his room for 40 days.

We last met on the night of the full moon.

He had come to the palace for the veneration.

He said he wasn't feeling well.

He didn't step out of his room for two days, not even for meals.

The plate was kept outside his door.

This morning, when I came out, the plate was still lying there.

That's when I realized he…

Dushyant Acharya was a great man.

No one was by his side during his final moments.

I wonder who is destined to inherit all this wealth.

Now repeat it exactly the way I say it.

Say it.

Pronounce the mantras properly. Say it.

Where did you find this dimwit?

Where did you find this dimwit?

Are you making fun of me?

I'm not making fun-- You asked me to repeat what you said.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Call the bride.

Shiela, please bring the lady.

She's here.

Who is bringing the bride?

Only the bride's father may escort her for the rituals.

Pass the garland to the bride.

You fool… Hold the garland in your right hand.

In your right hand, Arjun.

Now garland the tree, child.

Now anoint the tree.

The tree!

The tree.

Now hold the sword.

The sword is over there.

Cut it.

Cut the tree. The tree!

Then say it clearly. I don't perform this ritual every day.

You are unbelievable.

Cut it.

Maharaj, this is why the wedding keeps stalling.

The entire family is flawed.

Now Meera and Rahul… can marry.

On Ekadashi, the 11th day of the Kartik month.

Meaning the 13th of November, according to you.

Dad.

My wedding destination has changed again.

-Isn't it Udaipur anymore? -No.

Because the Udaipur Palace is surrounded by water.

And Rahul's grandma is afraid of water, so…

If she's afraid of water, doesn't she bathe?

Arjun?

What about the Gujarat Fort?

The Vaastu is bad. That's not possible either.

There you go.

I was always against this marriage.

I only agreed because you love Rahul.

They can get married in hell if they want.

Just call me, and I'll perform the rituals.

And by the way,

I'm flying to Sydney tomorrow for a seminar.

I don't want you two calling me with questions.

Dad.

Here you go.

You still haven't told me what you decided about him.

"Look, I'm a poor man."

"This house is all I have."

Look, I'm a poor man.

This house is all I have.

Correct.

But he has several loans to repay,

and people have filed cases against him.

"Did I tell him to borrow money?"

Did I tell him to borrow money?

Usually, after school, kids learn things

that help them in life.

That's a new one.

And what did he do?

He went to catch an anaconda.

He went to learn taekwondo.

Whatever.

Who spends their father's money learning to fight?

Yes, yes!

Of course, I'll be there.

There's no one on the phone. You heard everything, didn't you?

Or should I repeat it?

Listen…

he is my son after all.

Once your wedding is done, I'll help him out.

But don't tell him this.

Otherwise, he'll borrow even more money.

Why are you laughing?

-Bye. -Bye.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

But don't tell him I told you this, otherwise he'll kill me, okay?

Does he still love me?

"Does he still love me?"

He does.

Listen, if anyone asks about me,

tell them I'm dead. What will you say?

I'm dead. Listen.

Idiot.

Yes?

Do you know where I might find Ms. Meera Acharya?

That's me.

Ms. Acharya.

My name is Richard Gardener.

With Smith and Associate Law Firm.

I wonder if I may speak with you for a moment?

May I come in?

Sure. Come in.

Thank you.

Your grandfather, Mr. Dushyant Acharya,

has died.

My grandfather?
