Samik Ghosh mejher marble er dikey takiye roilen kichhu-khon. Khocha khocha dari chulkolen du-tin baar swabhab-siddho bhongitey.

- "To be frank Suman, ekta act of violence, ekta hall er destruction .... egulo amar bhabar jinis noi ... tar jonno police achhey, haal-er owner achhey, insurance achhey, amar producer achhey. Egulo amar movie tar sathey connected noi, at least not in the way I am connected with it. These incidents have nothing to do with my creative bend. But..."
- "But what I have told Police ... that matters to you ...."
- "hmmm ... That was the worst allegation against me in my entire career."

Hasita onek khani bistrito hoyechhey ekhon Suman er mukhey, otakey ar chora hasi bola jay na.

- "Mr. Ghosh... allegation to astei parey, ekta foolish viewer apnar ekta movie dekhey ki react korlo tatey apni ki normally etota bicholito hon je breakfast korei tar bari giye hajir hon? Taholey kintu sara desh dourey beratey hobey apnakey."

Samik Ghosh dan haater angul gulo muthi korey dubar thuklen sofa-y. Norom sofay chhap porlo ekta alto.

- "To be dead frank... sotti ki otota kharap chhilo?"
- "Apnar nijer ki mone hoi"
- "Na maney, okayyyy ... it had some .. some weak moments. But was it so utterly disgusting that a person would throw a chair at screen and say that he was deceived! That was too much Suman."

Suman uttor dey na. Hasita dhorey rakhey.

- "Stop smiling on me and answer the bloody question! Ki emon bajey chhilo movie ta? Sara desh jurey otar acceptance jano? Already 3 tey film festival-ey cheyechhey ora. Subtitles er kaaj cholchhey 2 to language ey. And you... You have found it revolting?? You thought it was a ..."

- "A desperate attempt to amuse people. A copy of every good movie you have seen so far. Yes. I felt everything I have said. I felt deceived..... "

- "Dekho ..."

- "Not because the price was high, not because the chair was uncomfortable, not because I went to see some actress nude and only glimpses of her leg was shown. But because the intellectual capability I associate with Mr. Samik Ghosh was utterly missing there.

- "Hey...!"

- "Because I went to see an original idea captured in motion, not some gimmick to entertain people. Damn it!

- "Suman, you are ..."

 - "Jeta ami dekhlaam hall ey giye, seta kono movie chhilo na, ota chhilo hattali kuranor ekta show. Ami hattali ditey parini. Ekta chair diyechhi apnakey."

- "You have no right to say all these things, you .. you ... ki bhabo tumi .. ami bujhina ami ki baniyechhi .. ami janina egulo .... ami..."

Suman samner dikey jhukey takiye thakey Samik Ghosh er dikey, ek dristey. Tar mukher hasita onekkhon udhao. Ar Samik babu eliye achhen sofa-y. Drishti theme thaka fan-tay.

Minute duek porey jeno ghum bhangey Samik Ghosh-er.
