00:03Don't you think it's astounding that our planet supports 7 billion of us?
00:11And counting.
00:20Learning to survive in a crowded world is our biggest challenge.
00:27But there's one corner where we're already well on our way to adapting.
00:37Welcome to India.
00:40Over 1 in 6 in the world live here.
00:43And in a few years, we'll be the most populous nation on earth.
00:52We're resourceful.
00:55And we're tactical at playing the long game.
01:01It's not just the here and now that matters.
01:04Still I'm waiting for one chance.
01:07It's the future of our family over generations to come.
01:15The cycle of life might be one of our spiritual beliefs.
01:19But in a crowded world, it's also a material opportunity for a better future.
01:50Meet Swapan.
01:51One of the shrewdest dealers in Kolkata's main fish market.
01:55We'll see you in the new mundo.
02:00We'll see you in the new world.
02:02We will see you in the new world these days.
02:05We will see you in the new world that we have to win.
02:07You'll see us again.
02:08And in the new world, we'll see you in the new world that has no one.
02:12And this time the Phoenix area has a lot of success and we'll see you in the new world.
02:18Swapan has fish sent up from the Ganges delta every night.
02:21Amid gutthroat competition, he employs every tactic to sell them at the best possible price.
03:09Having started his working day at 3 a.m., Swapan heads home for a short rest.
03:17He lives with his wife, Ruma, and his two daughters, Ahana and Anesha.
03:44I got a chicken, I got the chicken with the horse, he got killed them.
03:50I got a chicken in the house, a little something, a bit of a chicken.
03:55I got a chicken next to him, and he's like, I'm going to go to the right side.
03:58I don't want to do this.
03:59I'm not going to do this.
04:01I love my life.
04:02I don't mind.
04:05It's really bad, it's really bad.
04:11There's a lot of fish.
04:14There's a lot of fish.
04:15There's a lot of fish.
04:16There's a lot of fish.
04:24On top of his old consuming fish business,
04:28Swapan's volunteering the little time he has left
04:30to organise his neighbourhood's dharga puja celebration.
04:34There's a lot of dharga puja.
04:35There's a lot of dharga puja.
04:36There's a lot of dharga puja.
04:39But he's not just on his local committee for the prestige.
04:42He hopes that the goddess dharga's blessings will help his business.
04:53All over the city, rich and poor are building fantastical temporary structures
04:58known as pandals to show their devotion and creativity.
05:02And ideally, to upstage the neighbours.
05:13The construction part is going on.
05:15Within seven days, I think we'll finish our total job.
05:21Swapan's excited about his contribution to this year's design.
05:37The committee are still considering his ambitious plan of a stocked pond as the star attraction.
05:44What do yei maith have all the way back here?
05:46Who eat maith have all the way to the starting point?
05:49The maith have to eat or eat maith have to eat.
05:51Why not?
05:52The maith have to eat maith.
05:54What is it?
06:01What is it?
06:01What is it?
06:02What is it?
06:02What is it?
06:02The beans.
06:10What we have to eat?
06:19We should win the heart of Bengali people. That is our prize.
06:49The responsibility for supporting the family is a huge, all-consuming task.
06:57From the moment our kids start school, the expectation of expanding the family's fortunes is placed squarely on their shoulders.
07:06Welcome to Kaf Parade.
07:09This illegal settlement in the thick of downtown Mumbai is home to two brothers facing the full pressure of their
07:16family's ambition.
07:19I really love you. I really love you from my heart.
07:25I really, really, really love you. Please, will you marry me?
07:36I love you.
07:44That's called acting, you know. This acting, this is my life.
07:52Prakash is striving to launch his lifelong dream, to be a Bollywood actor.
07:58I want to do like Rakshay Kumar is a stunned man. It's a struggling guy. This guy is working waiter,
08:05steward. It's a hotel. This guy also do it. Why not I?
08:10Prakash lives in the family one up, one down. He shares it with his parents, his elder brother and sister,
08:17their partners and their young kids.
08:20You have already bedroom, you have already fan, AC, you have already computer, laptop. Sorry, man. I have already this.
08:26This is my bedroom.
08:29My dad sleeping there. We have a two and this half must. You know, kind of fully happy. Enjoy. Don't
08:37worry. No tension.
08:37Do you have one of Sally? Backseat boys. Rihanna. And the latest guy, Justin Bieber. That's it. And my Michael
08:55Jackson.
08:56My favorite one. Wait. I'll show you a perfect moonwalk. It's with Michael.
09:18Obviously, Michael Jackson.
09:20Obviously, Michael Jackson.
09:21Obviously, Michael Jackson.
09:31Mark Werner.
09:35Richarderd Prakash has secretly been putting aside some of the salary from his job in the harbour.
09:41After six months, he's finally got enough to get photos taken for his portfolio to send off to the city's
09:47acting agencies.
10:02But while he's busy chasing the Bollywood dream, his younger brother Mangesh is about
10:09to come home from his first year studying software engineering at a Bangalore university.
10:14It's a contrast, not lost on their mother.
11:07Our dreams of a better life must be given the best possible chance of success.
11:13So focusing a family's combined resources on our most promising child is simply a pragmatic
11:20strategy.
11:20I don't know what to do.
11:50After one year, it's been a while, right?
11:52It's been a while, right? Why not?
11:54He will take a loan, take a loan, take a loan, but he will fill it up.
11:59He will fill it up. He will fill it up. He will fill it up.
12:02He will fill it up.
12:15Once a family has carved out a lucrative business,
12:18it can be passed down the generations
12:20for as long as it remains profitable.
12:24Clay teacups are essential for the serious chai drinkers of Kolkata,
12:29and their demand is guaranteed by being disposable.
12:33It's an ingenious use of local mud.
12:37Let's show you our world. Come here.
12:41My brother.
12:43My brother is here. Time passed.
12:45He wants to talk about time.
12:47He wants to talk about time.
12:49He wants to talk about time.
12:50I'll say something about time.
12:54This place is our place.
12:56This place is our place.
12:58We are prepared for the meat.
13:01And I am Sujid Kumar.
13:05You can eat and eat in your eating.
13:12Sujit turns his clay from the Ganges into several thousand cups a day, working 13 days
13:18in every fortnight.
13:46For all their ingenuity, Sujit and his colleagues need to run a slick operation to make ends
13:52meet.
13:58We will give a lot of money, and we will give a lot of money.
14:00Oh, it's a pink.
14:01How much is it?
14:06The gold is in the sky.
14:08It's time to be filled.
14:09It's time to be filled.
14:11It's time to be done.
14:14After getting started,
14:16we had a solid vintage.
14:19We had a vintage vintage.
14:22We had a vintage vintage.
14:22We had a nice vintage.
14:23We had a vintage vintage.
14:32After this, we will put it in the tea shop.
14:35We will seal it in the tea shop.
14:41We put a light on it.
14:44It has been a lot of work.
14:48Come on, come on.
14:52This is Chacha Ji's girl.
14:54She's sleeping now.
14:57Sujit's own wife and kids live in his village, 400 miles away.
15:02Renting space here is simply too expensive.
15:06Like many who come to work in the city, Sujit sleeps where he works
15:10and can only return home every six months.
15:15My brother, my sister, and my wife.
15:20When we see this, we feel like this.
15:22We have a video.
15:24If you take it for it, then you take it for it.
15:28One dress.
15:29One dress.
15:31One dress.
15:31One dress.
15:32If you put it, you know that we have put it.
15:37If there were other six months, we often talk and talk about it.
15:40It's too hard to think.
15:42It's a long time to think about it.
15:46He's hoping that the approaching Durga Puja festival
15:49will boost sales enough for his family to visit.
15:52But for now, he tries not to dwell on the situation.
16:22Sujit's workshop is a short stroll from the Ganges.
16:25Handy for bath time, not to mention the all-important mud.
16:55Ganga Ji doesn't come, it doesn't come to us, it doesn't come to us, it doesn't come to us.
17:01It's so big that I am in the world.
17:12For us, the Ganges is a sacred being.
17:16We worship her as a goddess.
17:19She can wash away the sins of a lifetime, and when we die, she bears us up to heaven.
17:26She also performs more everyday tasks, satisfying the needs of the megacity of Kolkata,
17:33and washing its effluent away down choked canals and into shallow lakes.
17:42These man-made wetlands are the largest sewage-fed fisheries in the world.
17:55The decomposing waste from the city nourishes the pond's ecosystem, which feeds the fish
18:02of over 250 fish farms.
18:09It's an unlikely oasis, but it supplies Kolkata's 15 million people with 30 percent of their
18:16fish.
18:17A recycling service, care of the mighty Ganges.
18:27Swapan, the fish merchant, has come down to the river to mark the final run-up to the
18:33Derga Puja festival.
18:36It's a very simple fact.
18:36It's the Kisda, the sea to the plunge, as well as thelettget, yol.
18:45It actually runs the best done.
18:54It's a really good được.
19:00It's been a very good day for us.
19:01Being a little girl I know in this park.
19:01This is not a good day.
19:01It's not a good day.
19:02I am a good day and I am a good day.
19:05Swapan and his fellow bathers are praying that their forefathers will bestow health
19:10and wealth upon them.
19:19No pilgrimage to Mother Ganga is complete without devoting some hard cash.
19:27But we're happy to make money here too.
19:45Gandal and his best friend Rajesh use the magnets from old speakers for their very own form of drawing.
20:06It's the river that provides 19-year-old Gandal and his family with their main income.
20:11It's like that in Ganga we spend the money here all the time.
20:15We spend money here all the time.
20:18We spend money here too.
20:19We spend money here at all.
20:19God's name is from the name of God, but we spend money here.
20:22It's money here.
20:24It's like when we were born here.
20:28We were born here as a gardener.
20:32We were born here and we were born here.
20:41This is our house.
20:49This is our big sister.
20:57Gandhal and his entire extended family live on unclaimed land just a couple of hundred meters down the riverbank.
21:04The riverbank is very good.
21:06There is no need for the riverbank.
21:11The riverbank is very good.
21:13The riverbank is very nice.
21:17Our children are making magnets,
21:20put them in the mud,
21:21put them in the mud,
21:21put them in the mud.
21:24We are going through this.
21:26What happens in the mud,
21:28we are going through the mud.
21:29We are going through the mud.
21:36Once Gandhal's reeled in enough money to pay the family's food bill for the day,
21:40he heads home.
21:44We are going through the mud.
21:48Set advice?
22:02We are going through the mud this morning.
22:03The interior world was themarket stairs in the mud.
22:06First we are going to find a particulareremberill program
22:10I don't like the model in the model.
22:12If you wear the clothes, you wear the clothes,
22:14then it will look good.
22:15So, we have three parts.
22:17I'm ready to go.
22:20Black shirt.
22:22Black juta.
22:24Matching.
22:25Oh, it's always handsome.
22:27I buy the clothes.
22:30Oh.
22:31Oh, yeah.
22:33It's different.
22:34It's different.
22:34It's different.
22:35It's different.
22:40It's different.
22:41It's different.
22:42I'm saying, how do you feel?
22:43I'm saying, body spray.
22:46We're not ashamed to dream of being rich.
22:50I'm saying, this is a good house.
22:52It's a good house.
22:53It's a good house.
23:00We're not ashamed to dream of being rich.
23:06For us, wealth is quite simply the mark of success.
23:14Prakash is at work, earning the cash for his brother's education.
23:19Six months ago, he talked his way into a job as a cleaner on a luxury yacht more close to
23:24his home.
23:25I have to come early in the morning, 9.30, and I have to be clean for a proper clean.
23:31This is my boss cabin.
23:35No gas allowed inside.
23:38If you want to see your face, don't see your face in mirror.
23:42Because my cleaning, see your face in this.
23:46It's proper cleaning.
23:49My salary, 12,000 goes to my family and my brother.
23:57I'm really missing my brother.
24:00If I become a rich guy, I'll buy at this boat.
24:06I finger my cross.
24:08Always pray.
24:11Prakash's daily brush with the high life is a constant reminder that he's still waiting for a response from the
24:18acting agencies.
24:24To keep his moves up to scratch, he runs a free dance class for kids from his illegal settlement.
24:32We don't have a music system, we don't have a fan, you don't have air condition, we don't have a
24:38stage.
24:38Finally, we have a small cell phone.
24:40Let's go.
24:41Let's go.
24:42There's nothing to do with this.
24:45Let's go.
24:494, 5, 6, 7.
24:54Come here.
24:556.
24:57Let's go.
24:59Lovely, come on.
25:01Dance is huge here.
25:02And not just as escapism.
25:05My son.
25:06Lovely.
25:07Lovely.
25:07It can be a real route to fame and fortune.
25:11Come on.
25:12Come on.
25:14I've been eating so tired in my life for the money.
25:18I don't want to charge my children to my mom and dad who don't pay.
25:241, 2, 1, 2.
25:27Relax.
25:2811, 12.
25:29I am not pregnant.
25:32I don't want to charge my children to wear the shoes.
25:34That they don't pay for the dance class even once in a while.
25:39All of them do the same.
25:40Okay?
25:48Prakash is especially excited tonight.
25:51His brother is back from university in Bangalore.
26:00It's the first time Mangesh has been home in six months.
26:03Let's go on, nice.
26:10Hi, Dad.
26:13Hi, Mangesh.
26:15Hi, Mangesh.
26:16Hi, Mangesh.
26:16Hi, Mangesh.
26:18Hi, Mangesh.
26:18Hi, Mangesh.
26:19Very nice.
26:21Very nice.
26:22Hi, Mangesh.
26:23How you doing?
26:23Yes, my papers are all good.
26:25How did you get your papers?
26:27Yes, my papers are all good.
26:28You're finished.
26:29I'm finished.
26:30You're the only ones who are here.
26:33You're the only ones who aren't in the house.
26:35You're the only ones who are in the house.
26:41You're the only ones who are in the house.
26:45I want to be in a moment and be proud of me.
26:49like Mangesh.
26:51I can do it. I can do it from my heart.
26:54I can do it from my...
26:57That's called Buddiwala Dhimak.
27:00I can do it.
27:02I'll show you I can do it.
27:04But still I'm waiting for one chance.
27:13With only days to go before Durga Puja,
27:15Sujit is up early to tackle his first task of the day.
27:21We go to this day.
27:23We have to take a drink from the kitchen.
27:25Look.
27:27It's broken.
27:29It's broken.
27:31It's broken.
27:33It's broken.
27:35Everything is broken.
27:37Everything is broken.
27:38It will be repaired.
27:39It will be repaired.
27:41It will be repaired.
27:49We'll give the spending for another half ofisi.
27:52Of course, we will have to take five more hours.
27:54When we are ready for this thing,
27:55to get a profit you can do it.
27:55Then I'm a good help.
27:56And if I'm ready for the a special money,
27:58if we're ready for five hours,
27:59I'm ready for five hours.
27:59And this time we're ready for five hours.
28:00So the money is ready for money.
28:02All the money is broken is out.
28:03So we can do it for money.
28:04It's their little work in the little village.
28:09Getting just 25 rupees or 30 pence for every 100 cups, Sujit's lucky if he keeps back
28:152,000 rupees or 25 pounds a month.
28:19But he's got a plan to increase his margins that might allow him to have his family stay
28:24in the city too.
28:25This is my goal.
28:29This will go down.
28:33He wants to rent a space like this to stockpile cups when they're easy to make in the dry
28:38season and sell them at the top of the market when drying is hampered by the monsoon.
28:44This is where you can put all the places in the upper and the upper and the upper and the
28:47upper and the upper.
28:49This is a big room.
28:51In the middle of the water, it will cost 50-50 rupees.
28:56It will cost 50-50 rupees.
28:57If we have to get more money, it will cost us a year.
29:04But it's not a problem.
29:06Now, we have to take two things.
29:08One is to take a camera for our family and one is to make a stroom broom.
29:12I remember what to do.
29:21Right now, Sujit is missing his family more than ever.
29:42I thought, what do you see in the room?
29:47Now, when it comes to the room, it doesn't taste like a cherry.
29:52But it doesn't matter how much water is in the room.
30:07Teacups are not the only use for Ganji's mud in this part of town.
30:10It's in huge demand for the upcoming Durga Puja festival
30:14and is being shipped in by the boatload.
30:25Hundreds of artists apply the sticky river mud over a wooden straw structure
30:30to create vibrant idols of Goddess Durga and her exotic entourage.
30:48Swapan, the fish merchant, and his daughter are here to collect the idol commissioned for their neighborhood pandal.
31:05The cave-like structure has been progressing fast.
31:09The cave-like structure has been progressing fast.
31:15Back at the pandal itself, the cave-like structure has been progressing fast.
31:27Swapan's keeping a close eye on his fish pond.
31:31Mataji, as his body-like structure is-
31:32He was painting on the wall by the other side.
31:37The inner propitiate is as much sand as they went,
31:42the inside the plastic, and the inside the ground,
31:42the inside of the house is in a small barn.
31:43Now, if he was thinking and John is growing up,
31:43But are you ready to clean it all?
31:45Not ready?
31:46No.
31:49This is now completely complete?
31:50Yes, on the inside of the house,
31:54What are you起ing up?
31:56Yes, on the inside of the house.
31:57The inside of the house is next.
31:59When the wood-like structure has remained its in the right direction.
32:00After opening in just two days, Swappan's given the go-ahead to source his fish for the bandle.
32:11After a full night's work at his market, Swappan sets off to make his purchase.
32:26He goes to the market that sells the wetlands fish, farmed in the city's waste water.
32:38He goes to the market, he goes to the market, he goes to the market.
33:00He goes to the market, he goes to the market and he goes to the market.
33:05Playing the customer is a new experience for Swappan.
33:12This is a new experience for Swappan.
33:28A last minute splash of colour with some goldfish, and the morning's hole is sped back to the bandal.
34:09Swapan realizes he's fighting a losing battle, but he's not one to let a business opportunity go to waste.
34:47The stress hasn't taken long to find Swapan's big weakness.
34:52He's a big fan of Swapan's big weakness.
34:59He's a big fan of Swapan's big weakness.
35:17what the problem would happen.
35:19Nothing has changed yet.
35:21It is difficult for me to live no matter where I live.
35:24But every other day, I will be to live very well.
35:27It has become a great pleasure.
35:29But every week I will know…
35:32…that I can't live alone with,
35:35so I will show my life very well.
35:35I will live alone with.
35:36upon the time, I will get a good place.
35:49In Mumbai, Prakash has just received a call from one of the agencies he sent his portfolio
35:55to.
35:56They want him to come in and audition for a part in a TV soap opera.
36:07It's the break Prakash has been waiting so long for.
36:12Mangesh comes along for support.
36:16Let's see buddy.
36:17I'm very nervous.
36:21Excuse me.
36:26I'm coming for an audition.
36:32Sit Mangesh.

39:06Yeah, just not do an audition or from a screen test
39:08and you become an actor.
39:10It doesn't go like this, you know.
39:11It's just not only about dreaming big.
39:13It's also about doing it big.
39:18Ready, Prakash?
39:22But I think.

40:07In Kolkata,
40:09the energy levels are mounting for the great four-day Durga Puja festival,
40:13starting tomorrow.
40:17Gondal and his friends on the riverbank have spotted a new opportunity.
40:22Everyone across the city will need Ganges mud to place in front of their mother Durga
40:26idols.
40:27It's a heaven-sent opportunity to cash in.
40:44The water is made in one side.
40:48The food is made in one side.
40:49Strong boy.
40:51You can see that everyone's good at home and all of the children are good.
40:54They are good at home.
40:56They are good at home.
40:58They are good at home.
41:00They will have a lot of fun at home and a lot of fun.
41:05They are good at home.
41:09The Ganges are good at home.
41:11This is our atrium.
41:20It's time to get to bed.
41:34Gandhal and two friends spend the night shaping his mud pile into conveniently sized balls.
41:51At sunrise, representatives from every pandal pour down to the river and celebrate the start of the festival with a
41:59dip in the Ganges.
42:01But with so many holy mud ball sellers here, it's a buyer's market and Gandhal struggling to shift his balls.
42:24They are big saints.
42:27Tough market conditions demand bigger balls.
42:36Gandhal's strategy soon pays off.
42:44Daibaizyabu.
42:47The river has come for the past.
42:51The river has come to sell all the rivers in the bézay and the river has come.
42:57And the river has come to the river.
42:59And the river has come to the river through the river.
43:00And he's growing up with a river in the river and there's no grass.
43:04With over 500 rupees fresh in his pocket, it's a bumper day.
43:10There's not a moment to lose.
43:30How much is this?
43:32About 750 rupees.
43:34How much is this?
43:35You said Gandhi will increase.
43:36Give me 5-2 packs.
43:41Give me.
43:43Give me.
43:45I'm wearing a shirt.
43:48It's full of warm.
43:49It will be done.
43:52We'll go with your friend.
43:54We'll do it.
43:56It will look good.
43:57Enjoy.
44:12The festival is in full swing.
44:15And the city's out for a good time.
44:19I like it.
44:21I like it.
44:21I like it.
44:23Enjoy.
44:25Enjoy.
44:25I like it.
44:27I like it.
44:31Sojit's joining the crowds visiting the 2,000 or more pandals across Kolkata.
44:39On top of the 15 million-odd residents, thousands of visitors have poured into the city for their celebrations.
44:46As much as the city of Svapanz has been in the fields, the old food is made from the city
44:51of Svapanz.
44:53As the plant is made from the city of Svapanz, the Pandal is being finished in the nick of time.
45:13and with the pond filled with water, he can at last deliver a fresh load of fish.
45:37There's just time for Swapana and the family to put on the new clothes they've bought for the occasion.
45:43This is our choice.
45:44Our choice is to put everything together.
45:49We are asked to do the best job.
45:53I am the one who is a child.
45:55I'm the one who is a child.
45:59When we look at our children, we have a great place.
46:03We have a great place.
46:06I am the husband best.
46:13First, they pay their respects at their bandle.
46:24Mother Durga, personifying the triumph of good over evil, is reborn out of the Ganges mud for the duration of
46:31the festival.
46:32Showing her our devotion is important for securing future success and prosperity.
46:45Then it's time to party.
47:17Svapan's daughters aren't the only thrill-seekers.
47:20Today, we have a lot of fun.
47:22We are going to the top of the village.
47:25Let's see.
47:29Father.
47:30Father.
47:43Father.
47:45Father.
47:49Holy�.
47:50Father.
47:55Father.
48:08Swapan decides to take the family to pay their respects to the holy Ganges.
48:14But to get there, they pass through a different kind of ceremony.
48:28Even as the city celebrates, some of its charges have come to the end of their stay.
48:34They're closing their own circle and returning to Mother Ganga.
48:41They're all big.
48:44They're all big.
48:46The Pugayers' name is the Pugayers' name.
49:05Will you be here?
49:07No, no.
49:09Don't send us a rope.
49:10You don't have to leave the rope.
49:13Come on, come on.
49:14Let's go.
49:36Next morning, Sujit's up early again. With so many extra tea drinkers in the city for
49:43the festival, he's busier than ever and has had a run of record sales.
50:01He's decided to send for his wife, two-year-old daughter. He's decided to send for his wife,
50:04two-year-old daughter and new baby. They've boarded a train to the city and are due to arrive
50:09any moment.
50:11Balu says, if you reach the city soon, you'll be angry. If you're angry, you'll be angry.
50:18If you're angry, you'll be angry.
50:20You'll be angry.
50:35Today, we'll be able to reach the city soon.
50:38When we reach the city soon, we'll reach the city soon. We'll reach the city soon.
50:52We'll reach the city soon. We'll reach the city soon.
51:02We'll reach the city soon.
51:32For the first time in over eight months, Sujit sees his wife, Sheila, and meets baby, Kajang,
51:40at last.
51:43My child.
51:47What happened?
51:48I don't believe it.
51:51It looks great.
51:53It's good.
51:55It's good.
51:57It's good.
51:58It's good.
51:59It's good.
52:06What happened with the wife and the baby?
52:09We don't believe she was supposed to be in the other country.
52:11We're not saying our story directly.
52:14Come on.
52:15Play it with me.
52:17I won't.
52:19No, you won't.
52:20I won't.
52:20No.
52:21I won't.
52:23I won't.
52:23I won't.
52:23I won't.
52:43Flush with his festival bonus, Sujits managed to put down a deposit on a room close to his work.
53:21But to pay the rent, the room must earn its keep.
53:24We will make a position.
53:28We will stock a little bit.
53:30After that, we will make a new store room.
53:32We will make a new store room.
53:34Come on, come on.
53:37Hi.
53:44See you.
53:45Let's pay attention.
54:13The festival's at an end.
54:29The idols must be taken out of their pandals and transported back towards the river where
54:34they came from.
54:59We may be sad to see Mother Darga go.
55:03But we make sure we send her off in style.
55:08It's carnival time.
55:10Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
55:51Hey, hey, hey.
56:23Hey, what are you doing?
56:23Leftovers won't go to waste.
56:26Next morning, Gondol and his friends are watching the river more intently than ever.
56:53As soon as the river falls, the river falls down.
57:05In the slals, we've got 10-15 murtis.
57:08So, we'll get 3-4,000 rupees.
57:11When we grow up, we'll be happy.
57:14So, we'll have money in our hands.
57:17How much money can happen?
57:20Where are we going?
57:21How much money can happen?
57:23How much money can happen?
57:29Once the idols have been stripped of mud and straw,
57:33Gondol will sell the wooden frames back to their makers.
57:38We'll get the wood.
57:39We'll get the wood.
57:40We'll get the wood.

58:07But the casting agency have put him on their books.
