Mr. Dutta!

We are late.

Inspector Dutta, do something!

Barfi.

Got to pee...

No, don't shut the door...

DROP RS. 7,000 A THE POST OFFlCE AT 11 PM.

Who goes there?

Open the door.

l Iooked after her for 15 years,

but you...

Couldn't take care of her for 15 days!

When did you get this Letter?

l got it this morning

in the Letterbox.

- I told you

not to take her away!

Money is all that matters to you!

I know what's happening here.

What are you trying to say?

How can you talk like that?

You don't know the facts!

There's a cop here.

Yet you're saying such things.

Inspector...

Please investigate this thoroughly.

- I think Jhilmil's family is involved.

- 210?

- 210.

- 211?

- 211.

What is the patient's name?

Jung Bahadur.

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe

Sir, the Senior Inspector wants to see you.

Sir...

Sir, my wife is...

Pregnant.

But you aren't!

Stay here.

Did he tell you?

He didn't tell me.

Did you tell him?

I didn't tell him.

What do we do?

- Tell me.

You tell me, sir.

What do we do?

He's already here.

Yes, sir, he is here.

Will you go?

Or should I?

There's an hour to go.

l will continue the interrogation.

We have got two ransom notes.

The first, for 7,000 rupees,

was written by Barfi.

But we don't know who wrote

the second note for 100,000 rupees.

'If your daughter's life is dear to you...

come with 100,000 rupees to...

Lona Kukur bridge at 11 pm.

Otherwise the girl is dead.'

So the Senior Inspector and Mr. Chatterjee...

went to the bridge at 11 pm sharp.

All night Long, many officers...

tried to look for Jhilmil

in the lake.

The strange thing about this case was...

no one could identify the villain.

lf Jhilmil were to be killed...

Who would stand to gain?

I continued with my interrogation.

l was sure of getting a lead somewhere.

l didn't get any leads.

But what I did get...

was emotionally shocking.

You can't get away!

Hey... wait!

- Do you want to go or not?

- Barfi...

Barfi!

CHATTERJEE GIRL MISSING.

KIDNAPPER ON THE RUN.

Sorry, sir.

The Senior Inspector wants to see you.

Excuse me!

Mr. Sengupta.

waiting.

Once again I lost my resolve

when I saw Ranjeet.

Once again I'd left Barfi behind.

But destiny kept bringing me

back to him.

Yet, I don't know why...

I never had the courage to follow my heart.

Perhaps that's why destiny didn't favour me.

Barfi could've taken Jhilmil anywhere.

But destiny brought him to Kolkata.

Or he came there intentionally.

Because he knew I had moved to

Kolkata after my wedding.

A...

B...

B for Barfi...

Barfi...

Barfi!

I never imagined

Barfi would enter my life again.

And when I met him

after all this time...

I wasn't just meeting Barfi.
