We all have bad day maybe you missed the bus [girl ripping calendar sheets off]

00:05

or flunked a test or maybe you had a really bad dream where you flunked a

00:09

test while missing the bus well cheer up odds are that your misery is nothing [girl chasing the bus and wakes up in bed]

00:13

compared to that of Samad Miah Iqbal

00:17

well Samad works as a waiter but it's definitely not how he sees himself if he [Samad serving a man food]

00:22

had his way he'd walk around all day with a sign detailing his qualifications

00:26

as a student scientist and soldier that's a free meal after his shift is [Samad smashes a plate]

00:30

quite enough to keep Samad happy well for Samad the most important part of

00:34

his life is his relationship with his great-grandfather Mangal Pande who fired

00:39

the first shot in the Indian Mutiny even though there's plenty of historical [Mangal firing a rifle]

00:43

evidence that shows that Mangal was a bit more of a screw-up than a hero

00:46

Samad clings to the idea of his great-grandfather's heroism for dear

00:51

life because well it makes him important because believe it or not [Samad clinging to an idea and falls to the ground]

00:55

ageing waiters don't always get treated with all that much respect and it's not

00:59

like Samad's home life is much better than his professional one he fights with [Samad arguing with his wife]

01:03

his wife Alsana all the time whether it's about their children or habits

01:08

religion or who let the toilet seat up what's worse he has a horrible tendency

01:13

of ending his arguments by hitting his wife which is definitely not even close [Samad striking his wife then cries]

01:17

to being okay Samad's relationship with his twin son's Millat and Magid isn't that

01:23

much better it gets so bad that he even kidnapp's Magid ships him to [Samad shipping Magid to Bangladesh in a box]

01:27

Bangladesh not quite father of the year material here maybe worse father of the

01:32

year but that's not really a prize you're going to probably display on your [Samad receiving worst father of the year award]

01:36

mantle not to excuse his behavior but this kidnapping doesn't come out of

01:39

nowhere Samad does it because he's obsessed with the idea that he's a bad

01:43

Muslim an idea that brings him great shame of course kidnapping your son [Samad believing he is a bad muslim]

01:48

isn't exactly condoned by the Qur'an well maybe if Samad spent a bit more

01:52

time on his religious studies and a bit less time engaged in violence and [Samad studying the Qur'an]

01:56

kidnapping you'd have some better karma coming his way
