Jalsaghar Movie Quotes
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
[laughing drunkenly, deriding the moneylender's son, Ganguly]
He failed. He failed!
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
[now talking to his servant Ananta, who is refilling his glass with liquor]
He couldn't do it. He couldn't do it! That moneylender's son! He wanted to be king of the mountain. What arrogance, huh? What arrogance! A dwarf reaching for the moon! He couldn't do it. You know why he failed?
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
[speaking directly to Ananta]
Blood! The blood in my veins! You know whose blood flows in my veins? You want to see? Come...
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
[proceeding to point out portraits on the wall of his elders]
My father... my grandfather... my great grandfather... my great-great grandfather.

Huzur Biswambhar Roy
Have you seen Ganguli's new house?
Roy's Servant
Yes, master.
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
What do you think? What's it like?
Roy's Servant
Quite modern. Not as royal as our palace. No music room, no fountain, no garden, no temple - as you might expect.

Mahim Ganguly
When you came to my house this morning on that old elephant, crowds greeted you in the street, but they threw stones at my new car and scratched the paint! What about that? And I was in the car!
Roy's Servant
The master will see you.
Mahim Ganguly
And you know why? Because I'm a self-made man. No pedigree.

Huzur Biswambhar Roy
I opened the doors of the Roy house that day. A thousand people took refuge inside. The burden of my virtues is not negligible.

It's all gone now.
Mahamaya, Roy's wife
We still have my jewels.
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
Your jewels? Oh, I had to mortgage all those, but I'll get them back.
Mahamaya, Roy's wife
What's that? You know how much you spent this time?
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
Spent? But I have to spend, woman. Khoka is my only son, the wick to keep the family flame burning. Was I to skimp on his sacred initiation? My prestige is at stake.
Mahamaya, Roy's wife
But mortgaging my jewels to pay a singer!
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
That woman's no ordinary singer. Her beauty - her voice. You'd understand if you heard her.
Mahamaya, Roy's wife
I have no intention of hearing her.

Singer
[singing]
My eyes fill with tears, When my beloved is away, My eyes fill with tears, When my beloved is away... Clouds gather, And darken, Clouds gather, And darken, Clouds gather, And darken, I tremble with anticipation, In my beloved's absence...

Close the music room.
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
Why? And be deprived of music?
Mahamaya, Roy's wife
It's a dangerous addiction of yours. Khoka has inherited all your vices. He's mad about music and has no time for his studies.

I had a nightmare last night.
Huzur Biswambhar Roy
You know what I dreamed about? In Indra's music room, a great musical gathering was taking place. Rambha was singing, Urvashi was dancing...
