In Bombay, it is the last day of the semester at the Sir JJ School of Art.

Fellow students tease Phalke about his marriage, as they proceed to the auditorium where the annual awards are being presented to the studetns for their excellence in various arts and crafts.

Mr. Griffith, the Principal, and Mr. Terry, the Vice-Principal, present their annual report on the institution.

Mr. Tarry announces that they have been able to manufacture glazed pottery that can hold liquids, and have been commissioned to make ceramic insulators for the telephone company, that drawings have been made of all the caves of Ajanta, and that future jobs entrusted to them include building of the telegraph office, and the wood carving for the new station of the BCC and I railway line.

Mr. Tarry then introduces the ex-Principal, Mr. Kipling, and his son, to the audience.

Following this, he introduces Raja Ravi Verma, and invites the students to view his paintings.

The students leave for the exhibition hall. Phalke is accompanied by a young friend who is sceptical of art schools, opining that these schools are basically established to produce aluminium utensils for the Mission hospitals.

Later, while discussing their future prospects after graduation with his friends, Phalke discloses his intention to go to Baroda where his brother works with Romesh Chandra Dutt, eminent scholar from Bengal.

After the ceremony, Phalke walks from the JJ School to Elphinstone College, where his father teaches Sanskrit.

When he gets there, there is a commotion in his father's classroom. Phalke's father is objecting to the presence of a non-Hindu in his Sanskrit class.

Impulsively, he resigns his post and leaves the premises, taking his son with him.

The face of the non-Hindu boy leaves a deep impression on young Phalke's mind.

At home, they announce the news of his father's resignation.

He decides to return to Trymbak and resumes his old job of kathavachak.

Phalke's brother from Baroda is at home, paying the family a visit, and Phalke prevails upon him to take him back to Baroda with him.

Phalke goes to the station to see his parents off, and turns his back on the train as it steams out, homeward bound.

Standing in front of the huge Plaser-of-Paris statues of the Venus de' Medici, Apollo Belvedere, Apollo Saurochthonos and The Discobolos I felt as if in a dream...I went round and round the statues and yet I was not sated...
