(indistinct yelling)
What's going on?
Who are they chasing?
Murderers!
Then catch the culprit!
(indistinct yelling)
Boss, we're still in the danger zone.
Past 33. No more danger.
In another three kilometres, we'll be out of Balai.
Three times three is nine. We will be fine.
We're on the last lap. Then it's game over.
Turning right will be trouble.
Who's the boss? You or me?
You are the boss, Md. Ali Abbas.
And I'm your trusted assistant, Md. Selim Miyan.
AKA Selim.
Then zip it.
Hey! Stop!
(indistinct yelling)
Boss, I'll quickly check it out.
Hmm.
Hurry up.

WANTS TO MARRY A FOREIGNER NAMED HIS TRUCK WILD HORSE
Come out!
-Come out! -Come here!
-Drag him out! -Come out, bastard!
Don't let him go!
-What the hell, man? -Move it!
What's the problem?
-Where is the birdie? -What?
-Stop! Stop! -Where is she?
What bird? No idea what you're talking about.
-You're Abbas, right? -Who is Abbas?
I'm truck driver, Jashim.
-This truck has six wheels too. -All trucks do.
-Open the boot! -Why?
You're talking too much.
Tie him up.
How dare that bastard Abbas do this?
Stole my Sundori! Where is she?
Search the truck! Fast!
Cool down, sir. Your blood pressure will spike.
It'll spike if I don't get Sundori back.
Hey! Search the truck!
How dare that Abbas try to ruin me?
How long does it take to search a truck?
Idiots!
Where's my Sundori?
Have we reached?
We're home.
Will have rice and meat bhuna.
Where's the house?
I only see mango trees!
SUNDORI KHATOON
GEMINI
DAUGHTER OF A LATHI FIGHTER
SCARED OF HUSSAIN
LOVES MAKING VIDEOS
HOPES TO VISIT MOTHER IN SILIGURI
I first saw you hanging from a mango tree.
On a PikPok video.
Love at first sight.
So these mango trees are your home.
They really have houses in trees abroad.
They're called tree houses.
I'm loving this!
Feels like I've been released after 17 years of jail.
I want a photo here. In honour of my freedom.
What freedom?
I can't click photos. Get down.
-Hurry up! -Why are you getting mad at me?
What, you expect me to take you in my arms and kiss you?
Yes, exactly what I expect.
But I was wrong.
Fine, I'll leave.
I'll marry Hussain.
He's taken care of Grandma. He has expectations.
Hey, I didn't ask you to leave.
But marrying you is a problem. Eight means not.
What problem? That's all you've been telling me.
-But can't tell me what problem. -A prob...
I'll explain.
Bloody Abbas! Where is my Sundori?
I told you, I'm not Abbas.
I'm Jashim.
You people have lost it!
They got the wrong guy.
He's not Abbas.
Damn Abbas ran away with Sundori!
The girl I provided for for 17 years!
Don't mess with Hussain, former chairman of the ninth union.
Tear the heavens and earth apart but find Abbas!
I swear on my dead brother.
I vow to tear him to pieces!
Cool down, sir.
-Shove that up your a**! -Cool, sir, cool.
Your blood pressure, boss!
What the f**k are you laughing for?
Think it's funny?
I can't marry her.
PikPok has messed with her brain.
She doesn't get my problem.
You said you liked me on PikPok.
What's the problem now?
You're pushing your problem on to me.
That's my problem.
But where will she go, boss?
That guy wants to keep ploughing with his rusty tools--
Shut up! I've told you not to talk like that.
Haven't I told you to get your head out of the gutter?
I'll drop her off where she wants.
But I can't marry her. Won't invite trouble.
Fine, drop me to my mom's place in Siliguri.
Naima Pal's house.
Huh! What demands!
Across the border with this truck?
Nonsense!
Stop the truck. I'm not going anywhere with you.
No way!
Stop the car.
Damn it!
Come.
-Can you do it? -Hmm.
Boss.
Don't get emotional if she turns around.

BOHEMIAN HORSE
Meat curry in Khorgun's Diner can't be this colour.
Problem is not the curry. It's your eyes.
Little imp!
Has no manners.
Your beloved Abbas is here.
How are you, Abbas?
Who's this?
I'm Sundori. Sundori Khatoon.
I'm his lover.
We're getting married today.
I'm starving! Last ate hours ago.
We're not getting married.
She's high. Spouting nonsense.
Nonsense? Fine, I'll leave.
Wait, wait.
Sit down.
Eat something first.
Can't keep a cool head when you're hungry.
Won't you eat?
No.
Fine. I'm hungry so I'm going to eat.
This tastes familiar, uncle. Do you use ground spices?
It's delicious!
How did you know?
We use ground spices too.
Where's your house?
This diner is my home.
How can a diner be your home?
Where's your family?
I had it all, once upon a time.
But not anymore.
Where are they now?
Dead.
Three days after my wedding...
my wife and I were on our way back from a music show.
Our boat sank.
It was raining heavily.
Couldn't escape fate.
Anyway, it's a long story.
You eat.
Selim, what's going on?
Don't understand?
It's about marriage.
I'm in the South.
We'll meet soon.
-What's your name? -I'm Chhotu.
(indistinct conversation)
Hey!
-Took a photo? -Yeah.
Show me.
Nice.
That truck is mine.
I'll tie you to it and drive so fast, you'll become a photo on the wall!
Get lost!
F**ker!
I have no idea.
I don't know what you're talking about.
No use holding a gun to my head.
Sir, please give my cattle back.
Let me go home.
Shut up, you oldie!
You put ideas into Sundori's head. Stop giving excuses now.
You don't believe me?
That hurt, Chairman.
If you married my granddaughter, she'd live like a queen.
I always wanted that.
You spoiled her by buying her a mobile phone.
Her PikPok videos made that driver fall for her.
Shut up! I provided for her for 17 years.
Now that Abbas has lured her away.
Get every detail on him!
Find him and bring him to me!
Sundori?
Who's that?
Who are you?
Where have you brought me?
Boss...
Grandma's memory has been formatted.
Needs to be reset.
Should I pop a cap?
Huh! Her brain will still short circuit.
She has no idea. Let me drop her home.
You guys will drive me crazy!
How did Sundori manage to escape on your watch?
What the hell were you doing?
Go find her!
And get this crazy hag away from me.
-Cool, boss, cool. -Come, grandma.
Can't cool down till I find Sundori.
Too much excitement is unhealthy.
Please return my cattle.
Let me go home.
-Abbas. -Hmm?
Marry her.
It's your duty.
It's complicated, man.
You won't get it.
Marriage will make it easier.
-Marriage will be a disaster. -Stop talking rubbish.
She's a nice girl.
Extremely kind.
See that?
How soon she made friends with Chhotu.
Never seen him this happy.
She's a very nice girl.
You're absolutely right, uncle.
I agree but... Marriage is off the table.
Still talking nonsense!
Every problem in the world has a solution.
You can be stubborn but I'm calling the marriage registrar.
Don't care who you call...
I won't budge.
I know the dangers. Eight means not.
-I'm calling the officiant. -Finally.
Start the preparations.
Get dressed, Sundori.
-Wear the cap. -What the...
Begin the ceremony.
-Groom's name? -Eight means not.
-Ali Abbas. -Not... Not...
-Bride's name? -PikPok Sundori.
What?
Mango Tree Sundori.
-Sundori Khatoon. -Yes.
Do you accept?
I've been waiting!
Then you must say "qubool" thrice.
"Qubool", "qubool", "qubool".
-Now you say. -Not "qubool"!
"Qubool", "qubool", "qubool"!
(all cheering)
(singing)
What's wrong?
(song continues)
Birth, marriage, death.
They say, these are the only truths of life.
Now, on my wedding night, I'm reminded of my birth.
I've heard that when I was born, a storm blew our roof away.
At birth, at least, you had a roof over your head.
On your wedding night you have neither house, nor roof.
Don't need them.
I have you and your truck.
And all of Bangladesh to explore.
Just promise me one thing.
Promise to take me to my mom in Siliguri.
Of course.
But can't make you live in the truck with me.
-Where will you-- -Boss!
The truck is ready.
Let's see.
You've done it up so well!
Selim, I want photos with him.
Come.
The photos better be good.
Let me cover my head.
Yes, cover your head.
Perfect!
From the top.
This should be the best one.
Best of the lot.
-Show me. -Give it to me.
-I'm out. -Go, go.
-Show me the photos. -Let's sleep.
-First the photos. -Later.
Right now.
Your face isn't showing in a single photo.
Selim, what the heck!
We'll take more tomorrow.
Can't take wedding night photos the next day.
-Come on, now. -Selim!
-This girl... -Selim!
Selim!
Oh damn!
Ridiculous!
-Selim! -What a hassle!
Oh, come on!
-Selim! I want more photos! -Running about on our wedding night!
Curse the inventor of the smart phone!
Selim!
-Selim! -Selim!
Selim, where are you?
-Selim! -Selim!
Selim!
Where did he disappear to?
Boss, the truck owner is calling.
Put it on loud speaker.
Abbas, have you delivered the goods?
On my way now.
How long does it take, dumf**k?
Don't worry...
Pick up goods from Kaharole tomorrow morning.
Okay-- Why Kaharole?
That's what the client said.
Just pick up the stuff from there. That's it.
Not so easy, sir. There's always some hassle.
Why are we stopping, boss?
You know how far Kaharole is?
-No. -Then be quiet.
We're taking a break.
Why did we stop? Where are we?
We're taking a break.
Then sing a song, Selim.
A song...
-Selim. -Yes, boss?
What does that sign board say?
"Matrichhaya..."
A women's training centre and residence.
MATRICHHAYA COTTAGE INDUSTRIES AND TRAINING CENTRE
-Hey. -Hmm?
You look very handsome today.
Not your usual truck driver.
Because I'm in a shirt and pants?
Had to wear it for this occasion.
Don't cling to me inside.
Okay.
-What's your name? -Sundori.
-Sundori Khatoon. -Lovely!
And you are?
-Truck. -What?
Truck driver.
-My husband. -Oh!
-When did you get married? -Yesterday.
It's the truck owner.
You're here for a job.
First, three months of training.
Then six months of work.
Noorjahan will be your mentor.
Hello.
Hello?
It's a beautiful place.
WAY TO BOARDING SCHOOL
Then stay the night with me.
It's a ladies' hostel. How can I stay?
Look...
Let me earn and save up a little.
Then I'll get a place where we can stay, okay?
When will I see you next?
How can I give you a date? I'm always on the move.
Okay, two months at most.
How will I live without you for so long?
I'll miss you.
I'll tell Selim to get you a touch-screen phone.
Then we can stay in touch.
We can video call, okay?
Can't do it all on video call.
Hey, you're getting too excited.
Have patience. We need a place of our own.
We need a house, right?
True.
May I leave now?
Go.
Hello, Noor.
My Noorjahan.
Hurry up and come home.
There's double good news for you.
Keep the door open, honey.
I'm coming at double speed.
