Antony, the foreigner? -

- I don't quite... -

Must be a Frenchman.

Marcus Anthony?

My name is Anthony Gonsalves.

I want to spend my whole life

Antony? -

- Yes.

What? A school?

I am the night and you're my moon-

- Uttam Kumar played

the role in Bengali...

...and Amitabh Bachhan in Hindi.

No. -

- You mean Uttam Kumar?

Shakespeare.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen;

lend me your ears, I have

come to bury Caeser.

Not to praise him."

ATV star? -

- No idea.

The Zamindar families here?

Ask there. You'll find him.

A Bengali film.

We're ordinary people. All we're

concerned about is our daily bread.

Open the gill. -

- What's the address they've given?

Chandannagore is a huge area. -

- I've acted in plays in college.

Kundu Villa is nearby, go there. -

- Antony and Cleopatra.

I played Cleopatra.

I get all that

but who is Antony?

Excuse me. -

- Yes.

Which way is the

Central Library?

Go straight,

take a right and then left.

Yes?

Needed some books on 19th

century Bengali culture.

Name of the book?

Who is the author?

I have it on my mobile.

Just a second.

Yes, Ishwarchandra Gupta's...

'A Poet's

Biography', Prafulla Chandra Pal's...

'Ancient Poet's Song',

Niranjan Chakrabarty's

'19th Century Scriptures...

...and Bengali Literature'.

And Madan Bandopadhyay's...

'Singer-song-writer,

Antony, the Foreigner'.

Kushal, see what he wants.

Assistant librarian by profession.

Voracious appetite for books.

Name:
Kushal Hajra.

Hello. These books...

...Ishwarchandra Gupta's... -

- Not available.

Huh?

The four books you want,

we don't have them.

We've the fourth edition

of Asith Bandopadhyay's...

'History of Bengali Literature'.

I can give it to you.

But if you want to know about

Antony the singer-song writer,

you won't get more than two pages in it.

Umm... I mean... err...

...can you tell me where

can I find these books?

Not in Chandannagore. Try

College Street in Kolkata.

But people usually don't

keep these books anymore.

You could take a chance at the

Bengali Literature Association.

Okay.

Thank you.

But you won't find.

But...

...you just said... -

- You'll find the books.

Not Antony.

And definitely not his times.

So where can I find

Antony and his times?

Do you have the

time for that?

And the patience?

Try me.

Fine.

Wait behind the Sacred

Heart Church at 8pm tonight.

I will...

...take you to Antony.

The government is about to get

into a pact with Bangladesh.

Before that they want to

organize some sort of a...

...a Fraternity concert

and all that, you know.

As in involving student

communities of both the Bengals.

Some kind of a, you know... rock fest...

...or a rock band competition
