GUNDAY !!!

Bengal, the land of wild and hot-blooded tigers got partitioned by the British people. Later on, in 1971, around 90,000 Pakistani soldiers of East Pakistan surrendered in front of the Indian Army. After the 2^nd World War, this was one of the biggest surrenders committed by any military unit of any nation. Therefore, a new nation, Bangladesh got its Independence, though; there were so many people who were living in refugee camps as they lost their houses, family members and money due to the Indo-Pak war on Bangladeshi soil. Bikram and Bala were at the Geneva Refugee Camp as orphans. ‘Kya naya desh usse nayi zindagi dega, unki aankhon mein baash yehi sawaal tha’.

Hunger compels a human being to do just anything. ‘Khaana khaoge? Kaam karoge mere liye?’ Khaana milega! Joh bologe, karenge.’ Both Bala and Bikram became gun couriers of Latif. Why a Bangladeshi Rifles (BDR) Jawan was gunned down? Latif Mama died as he tried to save Bala and Bikram from the other BDR Jawans.’Yakeen hain maaf karega, tabhi hoon dar pe khada. Mann kunto maula, Maula Ali Ali.’ Bala and Bikram boarded the ‘Dhaka-Sealdah’ Train to reach Sealdah Station. In Kolkata, they were treated as refugees only. ‘Jish koyle ne jaan bachai hain naa, aab bhookh bhi wohi mitayega.’ Why Bala slapped that Restaurant owner? Both Bala and Bikram grew up as coal stealers. ‘Daur-e-ishqa ek jashan hain, lekin apna alag tashan hain. Jashan-e-Ishqa.’

What happened to Dibakar, another coal stealer? Both Bala and Bikram became big businessman of Kolkata. Bikram Bose and Bala Bhattacharya got the Indian nationality certificate. No one used to regard them as Bangladeshi refugees after that day. ‘Aag ke liye paani ka hona jaroori hain.’ Just 3 weeks before the Assembly Election in Bengal, ACP Satyajit Sarkar visited the Kolkata Police Headquarter at Lalbazar and accepted the criminal files. But, Mr. Sarkar burned all those files and opened a new file. ‘Ho aap wardiwaale, par aapka tebar hain gundowale. Ish khel mein majaa aayega.’ Inside the Bikram Bala Sadan, Bose Babu introduced Himanshu. ‘Saala pehla bangaali dekha hain, jise football pasand nahi hain!’ They planned to make the deal inside the Calcutta Cabaret Club (CCC).

The beautiful woman entered inside the Gents toilet. The two men fell in love with the woman at first sight. ‘Ishq hain woh aatish Ghalib, joh jwalaye na jwale, bujhaye na bujhe. Ashalam-e-Ishqum.’ The Kolkata Policemen raided the Club but failed to catch the big fishes. The two friends made a deal to impress the girl. Nandita gave 1 week time to both Mr. Bose and Mr. Bhattacharya to steal her heart. Whosoever steals her heart would become her hubby. ‘O sundori tomar mon ta diye jaao, taratari ese jaao. Tune maari entriyan re, dil mein baaji ghantiyan re. Tang, tang, tang.’ The lady gave them two tickets of Metro Cinema Hall. Inspector Banerjee observed the changes in the behaviour of Bala and Bikram. ‘Gulaabi nahi Banerjee, lal. Ishq ka rang lal hota hain aur hoon ka rang bhi lal hota hain. Pistol ki goli aur laundiyon ki boli jab chalti hain toh jaan dono mein hee khatrein ki hoti hain.’

While watching the sexy song of the film, ‘Mr. India’, who fired a bullet inside the Metro Cinema Hall of Dharmatala area of Kolkata? Bala went to Dhanbad. Did Bikram kept his promise? Himanshu gave information to Bala. Subho Bijoya Dashami! Well; who got hospitalized after that firing in Babughat on the Bijoya Dashami day? The poison got injected inside the relationship of true friendship. ‘Newton Mama ka ek Law hain. Har action ka ek equal aur opposite reaction hota hain. Aab joh hoga, woh apne aap hoga.’ Was Dibakar’s younger brother still alive? ‘Yeh joh shatranj ka khel hain, iska wajir kaun hain? Tum ho, Himanshu’. Bikram went to Dhanbad to meet Bala to divide their partnership property into two equal halves. ‘Lekin aaj hisaab barabar. Zinda chorh ke jaa raha hoon.’ Nandita requested Bikram to come out of the world of anti-socialism. Was Nandita truly in love with Bikram? ‘Mein begaana sa, tha deewana sa, mujhko teri chahat ne basaa diya. Jiya, main na jiya.’

Diwali Mubarak ho, Bikram! Who kidnapped Nandita? The cop extended their net and Bikram decided to become the Government Witness against Bala. ‘Lekin woh Hira hain, par tum sirf Koyela ho’. After hearing the brutal truth from Nandita, Mr. Bhattacharya repented. Bikram understood the entire game after seeing the ID Card of Inspector Gautam Biswas. ‘Mujh se main rutha, mujh mein main toota. Saayian, hun main ki karaan.’ What was the real identity of Miss Sengupta? ‘Agar aagli baar Bangaali payda hua naa, toh football jaroor khelna.’ Who murdered Himanshu? ‘Lekin kya kare Sir, saala Zameer bada Ziddi hain, maanega nahi.’ ‘Mujhe jaana hoga’. Ultimately, did their soul remained as a soul of a “GUNDAY”?
