Paltan.. - I am coming.
Will you not come to play with us?
I am coming, you go ahead.
What were you doing all these time?
Nothing.
You go ahead, I am just coming.
Aunty, please serve the food fast.
Do you remember what your father said yesterday?
If you don't come back before its dark and open your books..
..he will be very angry
In the evening I'll go to Hari temple..
..if it's too late then have the food.
Okay.
Your father's food will also be there.
And listen, don't eat any rubbish from outside.
There is news of people getting sick from all the places around.
Okay.
Come back soon, don't be late.
Now Biju is bowling..
..he is right-handed bowler and he bowls really well.
Manic will be facing him, he is ready, Biju has bowled..
He hit it hard but no.
There was no contact with the bat and the ball.
The ball has gone to the off-side.
Wicket keeper Paltan is running after the ball.
He caught the ball and returned it to the bowler..
..there is no run.
Hey Ajay, what do you think of the match till now?
Well, we will have to wait for the next player waiting..
..to see what happens..
Out!
We can see that he has been chased with the bat..
..but he doesn't want to be given out.
Manik give the bat back. - No, I won't.
Hey, Jagat sir!
The smelly radish is coming!
Namaste, you are very clean, but you smell a lot..
..so the school is given off today.
Let's go then..
In which year did Akbar defeated Ibrahim Lodhi?
You! Get up! Get out..get out.
Why were you screaming at that time?
Had Bahadur heard you, he would have taken you to the Head Master.
But where are we going?
Come on, I will take you there.
It's the Doel bird.
You have good aim, can you hit it?
Yes, I can. But I don't kill birds.
Hey Poltu, it's your father! He is riding the cycle!
Thank God! We have just escaped!
Had he caught us, then..
Come, let's go, its Tiffin break now.
Now she will come. - Who?
Poppy.
There she is.. that's Poppy.
Where is she?
The one in the middle with the spectacles, a clip in the hair.
With the curly hair.
You know, Poppy knows me, she smiled at me yesterday.
Did she smile at you?
Sure she will, you are such a stupid boy!
Biju that will be very bad for you!
Did you see that she smiled at me?
When did she smile at you?
She saw no one, she just glanced this side, that's all.
Look, you are just feeling jealous, you are a jealous person.
Am I jealous?
Well then, listen up, from tomorrow onwards Poppy will know me too.
She will smile at me.
Huh!
What will you do?
That time will tell, but listen up..
..from tomorrow onwards Poppy will smile at me.
Here it is..
Here, take it. Is it okay?
You are laughing?
What did you just play!
I made a mistake.
Here..take this.
Father..
Please check this.
What is it?
Oh, yes. Let's see.
Why are there so many spelling mistakes?
If you don't mind, can I light a cigarette?
Definitely.
So, dear Paltan, which class are you in now?
7.
That's very good!
It's all right, you can go now.
Oh, I forgot to tell you Paltan..
..your aunty wrote a letter from Kolkata.
It's in the pocket of my shirt which I wore to the office, take it.
Whose turn is it now?
What did you just play?
What did you do? - What?
It was your turn then how can you again start with the color?
How come you do that?
Dear Paltan.
Hope you are not doing any nonsense over there.
From the letter you wrote to your uncle I came to know that..
You ordered 1 more box of bullet.
You finished 500 within this time?
Be careful not to kill people to show off your aim.
When you come here, I'll show you something new.
We bought a television, they will be showing the cricket match.
We will go to your house during the summer vacations.
Rumpa is writing a letter to you.
You take care.
And why do you buy rubbish things from the market?
People are falling ill so often.
Keep writing to me. I remain, aunty.
Television..?
Brother Paltan, I am well and I got admission in class 1.
The teachers are really good, they never scold.
When will you come? I remain, Rumpa.
That boy!
Now wait and see what I do tomorrow.
No. It's my turn now.
You know the result of our class test is out today..
..a large number of girls failed.
Did Sanchita pass? Her father..
Who said she passed?
Tell me, if you fail just by 1 mark how will you show the copy?
I wrote so nicely but the way the copy was checked is useless.
There he is!
You stupid boy!
What has happened, girls?
Sir, that boy has taken a shot at Poppy.
What? Did she die?
She isn't but she could have.
These kids have grown up like an adult!
They will be dacoits when they grow up!
Just imagine what would have happened had it hit the head?
Hmm..isn't he the son of the Post Master, Mr. Subodh?
I've to inform him.
Where is the rascal?
I'll throw him out of the house.
Does he think can escape the punishment if he hides?
I'll beat him up to hell today.
I was insulted so badly in front of everyone in the office today!
He is becoming a loafer, day by day.
Why are you quiet, sister?
Because of you, that boy has become so spoilt!
He has gone to the dogs! Absolutely!
You'll see sister, he'll grow up and become a goon! A gangster!
Just because he doesn't have a mother, will you treat him like this?
You and that aunty of his!
He doesn't study at all..
..and wants to show gun tricks.
And he has all the useless books lying here!
I will throw away everything!
What is this now? I will really throw it all away!
Is this real gun? - Yes.
Let me see the gun, please.
It's from abroad!#
That one!
That one!
That one!
Come and see! Game of the gun! Game of the gun!
Come and see! Game of the gun! Game of the gun!
You see with your eyes, I am the gunman!
With just one shot, the skull will be smashed!
Take up the gun, blast the balloons, it's only for 5 paise.
Take up the gun, blast the balloons, it's only for 5 paise.
You'll get everything here, you'll see the real game here.
You'll have the real taste today, I am the gunman with the gun in hand.
Come, come..
..per bullet is 5 paise.
60 bullets is 3 rupees.
Come, come.
What is this? What is this?
This is a cigarette's bud, cigarette's bud.
And what is this?
This is a bullet.
Now, I'll keep this here, on the brick.
Now you watch.
Very good, bravo my son!
You have a wonderful aim!
Can you hit what I tell you to hit?
Yes.
Please kid, can you lend me some of your marbles?
Now, hit the white marble. Shoot from here.
See that it doesn't hit the other marbles.
Wow! Bravo, bravo!
Now, can you hit this?
Just missed..
You couldn't, let me try.
Oh my God!
Don't worry you also will get it one day.
What is your name? - Polton.
Polton, wow!
Keep practicing and keep your mind straight just like the bullets.
Then you'll find that no barrier is a barrier for you.
Bye.
Is the game over?
Do you know the person who came just now?
He is Buro sir.
He lives in the village of Shalbon.. and he's a very good man.
He has wonderful aim.
So is it nearby?
See the Sal forest, it's beyond that.
Is it very far from here?
No no..it's like 2 miles from here.
Where are you going? - To Shaltuli.
Oh my! It's so sunny!
Is it a matter of joke to walk 3 kilometers?
I had gone to offer prayers in the Trimurti Temple.
The gods will be pleased.
I have come out of the house, a long time ago.
And now the sun is above my head now.
And my throat has become so dry, out of thirst.
Dear so, will you get me some water please?
Here is the utensil.
Please get some water from the well and bring it to me?
Let your stuff be. I'll watch over them for now.
Oh my! It's as if I got my life back!
What's your name? - Paltan.
Where do you live?
What do you do with all this?
Do you hit birds?
No.. I roam around places and show tricks.
I make money.
People pay me to aim at objects, shoot balloons..
That's nice.
Do you want a sweet?
Is there any water left?
So where will you go?
Where will you show your tricks now?
Here, nearby.. in the village of Shaltali.
Going, just like that..
Shaltali? That's where my house is.
Whose house will you go to, dear child?
I will go.. there is someone..
Someone I know.
That's good.
The day is setting and night will fall soon..
I'm old now, so I can't see well..
Come the, we'll both talk on the way and go.
My house is in Kanchi locality there.
Will you help me to my house? What then? Alright?
Come then, let's go?
I have left Khuki at home alone!
Who knows what she must be doing!
Khuki is my granddaughter. My elder son, Shadhu's daughter.
Shadhu stays in Kolkata.
And he works in a very big factory there.
And he has left his daughter with me.
I have never seen such a naughty child before!
I put her in a lot of schools here.
But she won't go!
She will cry so much!
My younger son advised to let it be.
He said that she had been spoiled by her father!
So then no school and no studying at all!
But she loves me very much.
She is very dear to me, as I am to her.
All my troubles are for her!
I don't know what I'll do with her.
Shadhu comes here only in August or September.
They have a lot of restrictions for holidays.
It is a very big factory, that's why.
He came during Durga Puja, and got me two sets of clothes!
And my younger son cannot live without me.
He is the master of the primary school in the Shikari locality.
He goes to the school early in the morning..
..and comes back in the afternoon to have lunch.
And then he sleeps to his heart's content.
When I go now, I'll see that he's still sleeping!
We are near now.
I am telling you so many times to stay the night here!
But you won't listen at all!
Anyway.. there are some nice sweets at home, have them before you go.
And how will you return at night? Come now, come..
Come in.. sit here. I will keep these and come.
Did you pick up the clothes? - Yes!
Here, take some prasad.
Mother, I will just.. hey..
How did you come?
I was coming to you!
I will stay here! I'm not going anywhere!
You will have to teach me how to aim!
What are you saying? What will I teach you..?
All that I don't know.. but you will have to teach me..
What now..
Do you know this boy? Buro?
It's a long story..
This is the man I knew..
So Brother Buro, you will teach me right?
That we'll see.. come inside now, come..
You know mother, I was returning from the school..
..through the market, and I saw there was a lot of crowd at a place.
I peeked to see that this boy was showing his tricks.
I asked him if he could hit whatever I asked him to aim at.
And he answered yes!
I gave him a hard target, you know..
But he shot it!
And then I gave him an even harder target, which he missed..
But it was very hard!
Hey, where do you stay?
Rampur..
So have you run away from there?
Tell me the truth!
Do you hear this!
A few days ago, I had heard that a boy was lost from the Rampur village.
Hey, what is your father's name?
No, no.. I'm telling you truth..
..I will go home as soon as I learn how to aim from you.
If my father finds out, then he won't let me stay here.
He'll take me forcefully and beat me up to death!
I will really go back.
You promise to?
Okay then.
When you're done then I will take you back home.
But be careful, don't go anywhere away from this house.
Or else you see this?
I will beat you up!
How much have you studied?
Till class seven.
Do you know the 10s table?
Division and all?
Everyday.. I want you to solve 5 math problems everyday!
Whose heart did you brake and come, dear?
Who knows how much your mother is crying for you!
I don't have a mother!
I don't even remember when she died!
When will you start teaching me?
Huh.. from tomorrow.
Are you sure?
Absolutely!
Here look, I will throw the box like this.
And it will fall.
So, however high you may throw the box..
..it will go up to a certain height and then start to fall.
So what will you have to do?
You will have to see where the box stops, when you throw it.
And then when it's falling, you will aim at it and shoot.
You understand? Sure?
Hold this box.
And give me your gun.
You see?
Now, give it.
And go bring me the box.
Hold it..
Now aim up.
Didn't hit. Wait, try again.
Fill the bullet.
Here, hold it properly.
Why are your hands shaking?
Will I be able to do it? - Why not!
If man wants, he can do anything.
Man is not like sheep or cow, he has a conscious brain.
If he decides that he will do something, then who can stop him?
Here.. Hold it well. Now shoot!
Amazing!
Buro brother?
Who..? Debu?
You've come.. go sit, next to the pillar.
Buro, we want some tea.
How many of you?
Myself, Shibu, Nanda.. and Haran will you have?
So us four and you. So total five.
Okay.
Mother, please make 5 cups of tea.
Alright.
You will do the math problems..
..from page 17, numbers 13 to 20.
Khuki, when you finish writing, then call Paltan..
Call us okay?
And .. don't get up.
Finish all the math problems.
Khuki? Paltan?
This is for you.. and this is..
For you.
Go wear it and show me, if it fits even.
I got my salary, that's why..
Brother..
Come here, let me see you properly!
Great!
Some days, you know we have a lot of fun there..
Say, that a boy from this village is going to marry..
..a girl from the next village.
The groom is on his horse..
..followed by all his friends and relatives.
Suddenly, they see that the girl's side..
..is on the road and won't let them enter!
What is the matter?
The groom shall have to pass a test.
On a very high tree, there is a coconut that has been hung.
And that coconut has to be tipped by the groom and shoot down.
And then they can enter, and marry the girl.
Can they do it?
Why not? They have a very good aim.
When will you teach us to shoot by sound?
Not now, in the night maybe..
Buro brother?
Who is it?
It's me, Shibu. - Here, go..
What is the matter?
Will you not go tomorrow?
Where?
To that meeting?
No.. no, I won't go, I have said that before.
It will just irritate and anger you!
Naran will be very angry when he finds out.
He knows me for long. And understands me.
He won't mind.
And you that I do just as I say.
It's not good, what you have done.
Here.. light it..
Like a boy..
Is it done?
What.. have you done it?
Yes..
How many fingers are there, tell me..
Four! - Alright then..
Now Paltan, go and make a sound with them.
Hit and run..
A tin can..
..a glass..
..a glass bottle..
..a tin box.
One more time..
A tin can..
..a glass..
..a glass bottle..
..a tin box.
Now hit any one you like, and run!
Who is it?
Oh.. Naran..
Was watching you aim.. cannot be compared..
Who is this one? A follower of sorts?
Anyway, what I was saying..
I know what you have come to say..
And I don't like all the noise and blabbering!
Paltan go open those things..
Come, let us sit..
Come Shibu..
What is it?
Then let it be so..
And the bet?
If I lose then I will do as you say..
..and if I win then you will listen to me.
So, if I lose then I will have to go to your meeting, right?
Alright then..
Come on Shibu..
Naran! Shibu!
Naran!
Oh God!
Why are you so late?
Don't ask, some people beat up Haran.
Oh my God!
Yes, he is in hospital now.
Me!
No Buro, it's not a matter of joke.
You keep this.
What is this! Nanda, Debu, have you all gone mad?
No, you don't understand... - Stop it!
I understood everything, keep this, keep it.
Come with me...get up! Come fast.
Do it quickly.
It's okay now.
Keep it. It's okay. Now go home.
Go safely.
Shame, shame, shame...
Where is Nanda?
-Nanda ran away.
What were you doing?
I'll go, I'll go right now.
No no, Buro, listen...
Mother, I am going out..
..it will take 2 or 3 days to return back.
Don't worry.
Okay then.
Come.
May God be with you.
Then Draupadi came in the royal court.
The whole court lightened up.
The wheel was spinning over the head.
There was a fish on the wheel.
The image of the fish was on the water,
Looking only at the image on the water..
..the arrow has to hit the eyes of the fish.
No one can hit it, no one can hit it.
Then Arjun came and stood in the royal court.
Then?
Then Arjun hit the eyes of the fish.
Everyone was in praise of him.
Then?
What else but Draupadi came running and put the garland on Arjun.
I know the story.
You keep quiet.
I don't like this knowledge about everything.
Search the house, you go that side.
Where is Badal Mondal?
I mean Buro, your son?
He is not here.
He is not here! Then where did he go?
I don't know, he didn't tell me.
You don't know? You know everything.
Did you get anything? - No sir.
I knew that you will not get anything.
What is this? Whose is this?
It's mine.
Huh! You all go now.
Into politics!
Paltan, Paltan.
What?
What is meant by politics?
You don't know what politics is?
Didn't you see the crowd saying vote for vote...
Do the police catch you if you do politics?
You'll not understand that now..
..I'll explain everything to you when you grow up.
Let's go.
Son Sadhan, please come back home fast.
I am much anxious..
For the last 2 days, Buro hasn't returned home.
The police came to our house last night.
I am all alone here.
I don't know what to do, please came home..
..as soon as you receive this letter.
I am really afraid.
The kid is okay, your mother.
Now, read what you have written.
Son Sadhan, please come back home fast. I am much anxious..
For the last 2 days, Buro hasn't returned home.
The police came to our house last night.
I am all alone here.
I don't know what to do.
please came home as soon as you receive this letter.
I am really afraid. The kid is okay, your mother.
Is it okay?
-Now run and put it in the mail-box.
Oh, from tomorrow the fair will start.
-What fair? Sitala fair.
You find so many things..
..many people come to visit it. Everyone decorates their house.
Oh! I have a wonderful plan! You didn't see my shooting, now you will.
Watch me what I do in the fair. Come, come.
Grandma, what did Arjun shoot at?
First there was the wheel, and then the fish..
Arjun saw the reflection on water...
Do you have a plate? Plate?
Plate!
This time I'll be the Arjun and show my skill.
What will I dress up like? I too want to go.
Its okay, I'll dress you up like Draupadi.
Have you finished? How much time will you take?
It's nearly finished.
Mother...mother...
Khuki...Khuki...
Father!
Khuki...you have grown up fast!
Mother, had Buro returned?
No.
He generally says that he will be back in 2 days..
..and then returns after 10 days.
It's nothing. But what is with the police?
Oh...is this the boy?
Well, Buro has written everything about it in his letter.
You please sit, I'll tell you everything.
When will Buro have some maturity?
Now even the police is coming to the house...
He will lose his job too..
..and if the boss knows then even I'll be expelled from my job.
Then we will starve to death.
Father, bye.
Grandma, bye.
Where are you going? - To the fair.
They all are crazy.
Shh, we will startle grandma!
Grandma...
Father, are there elephants in Kolkata?
Yes.. in the zoo.
I'll get you admitted in school.
Good then, brother Paltan and I will go to school together.
I will not go.
I won't go anywhere.
The bus is coming.
Get up now, stand here.
The bus will be crowded.
My son.. Paltan, how do I even stop you from going?
The one you had come for is not here anymore.
Go back home now, dear.
How long will you keep roaming around dear?
Now return back home.
And listen, there is a judge in Sadar city..
..he can catch the criminal, and punish him.. do a lot.
If you ever go there, then tell the judge about your Buro brother..
Tell him everything.. that he may catch the ones who have killed him.
That he may get them punished.
Come on now.. the bus is almost here.
Where is Sadar City?
There.. in that direction.
Do you see the mountain range? It's after that.
Straight on this road.
How far is it from here?
Can you walk there?
Walk there? Yes..
But.. it's a mountain road, so there are a lot of cliffs..
If I go now, when will I reach?
You will reach before nightfall..
Will you go now?
No, I will go later.
I just wanted to know the way.
Stop there!
Dear Paltan..
Dear Paltan..
Just nuts and bolts, eh..
Do you have anything on you..
Nothing.
Dear Paltan, let's see what you have in your bag..
Oh let me see it!
What a trouble! See please..
Why won't you let me see?
Oh.. let it go?
Let it go.. let it go now.. I said leave!
Oh, why are you screaming?
Paltan, give your bag to Shibu.
We want to see what's in it.
Buro taught you to aim and shoot, right..
We want to see what your brother, Buro has given to you.
Naran..
This will go where it has to.
Where were you going with it?
What will you do with it?
Go now, runoff..
Hey.. give back his things.
Ready? - Yes ready!
Everybody look here! Look very carefully!
I will show you what no one has ever done before.
King Dasharath's arrow that injured the blind hermit's son..
..which was shot only by hearing the sound..
In the same way, my bullet will also hit the target that you will tell me.
And my eyes will be tied.
And I will make no mistakes.
Here.. you can see these objects hanging infront of you.
Hit on any of the glasses and my bullet will hit it.
And my eyes will be tied.
Someone come and tie my eyes please?
Yes, come please.. And please be quiet.
Quiet, quiet.. don't talk please.
Hey there.. boy.. hey boy!
Go go, the judge is calling you.
Go on, don't be afraid.
You have a very good aim! What's your name?
Paltan.. - Paltan! Very good name!
Come inside, let me show you something.
Come in.
Here, let me see your gun.
Nice..
Now look at that wall.
At one time, even I had a very good aim.
At that time, I could better you!
Now I cannot.
Now I have grown old, so my hands shake.
Here, take a look.
Have you seen anything like this before?
Hmm.. pure foreign stuff!
Made in England, Dave and Peter.
They don't make guns like this anymore.
It shoots 52 bullets at one time.
Let me show you how to put the bullets.
Here.. you pull this and put the bullets here.
The steel cycle bullets, they work too!
And then you put it back inside again.
Alright, as long as it doesn't fall.
And then.. here!
Now shoot!
Not just birds, even bigger animals can be attacked with this!
And you know, this bullet travels very far.
Oh no, no.. I give this gun to you.
It suits you better.
There is no one in my house to use this gun.
Do you not see how much dust it has gathered?
What.. happy?
So, you are the judge? - Yes..
But why?
Judge sir, you know.. I had a brother.
Buro brother.
He used to live in Shaltali village.
He taught me all that I know.
Oh.. is that so..
He was a very nice person.
Then one morning, he went away from home.
And then the next day, police came home.
Police? - Yes, police.
But believe me Judge sir..
.Buro did not rob or steal or do anything like that.
He was good at heart.
And then one day, some people killed him..
Judge sir, if you want then you can catch them.. punish them..
The ones who killed him.. killed my brother.. can you not catch them?
Can you not punish them?
Dear Paltan.. there is nothing I can do in this matter.
You are very small now, and you may not understand it all.
Grow up and you will understand everything.
Why will I not understand? If I try, then I will!
Here see, this is a clip.
This shiny object in the middle?
I aimed at it from a distance of 20 feet.
The bullet didn't hit the right target.
And then I practiced a lot after that.
Now I can aim at it perfectly from a distance of 30 feet!
Now tell me, why can you not catch those who have killed Buro?
Why can you not punish them?
Son Paltan, everything is not like aiming a bullet, so straight.
This world is very complicated.. very hard to be in..
Actually, all this is not for you to know..
I really can't do anything for you.
There is nothing I can do..
Everything is not like aiming a bullet, so straight.
This world is very complicated.. very hard to be in..
Keep your head as straight as the bullet goes.
Then you'll see that you can do it all!
Man can do what he wants.
He is not like sheep or cow, he has a brain!
If he decides that he will do something, then who can stop him?
I can do nothing.
Nothing can be done now.. we'll have to find another field.
Field is fine, it's the football..
Oh the football is okay - It's fine..
Hey, isn't it Paltan?
He's come back?
Hey Paltan, Paltan.. - Oh Paltan..
He went? Come then, let's see..
"There is no sunshine here."
"So let's go to the garden then.."
"I have my water pot."
"Where will I find it now?"
"There is no sunshine here."
"So let's go to the garden then.."
"I have my water pot."
"Where will I find it now?"
Rumpa!
Brother Paltan!
He's there!
Mother, mother.. Paltan has come!
Paltan has come..
Paltan?
Paltan! My son! You've come!
Look, Paltan has come!
Paltan, where have you been all this time?
No one will say anything to you!
And I will take you to Kolkata.
I will never let you go.
Tell me, tell that you'll never leave us and go!
Where were you all this time, you scoundrel?
Wait!
What is this? It is a clip!
It is a plastic clip you wear on the head.
And what is inside? It is a button.
A nice shiny button. This is my aim.
Now see..
