Abar Bibaho Obhijaan Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Abar Bibaho Obhijaan (2023): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why did Rajat and Anupam believe Bullet Singh's 100 crore offer?

Rajat and Anupam were desperate for quick money after struggling to adjust to their changed lives. Rajat's newfound religious devotion had alienated his colleagues, while Anupam was caught between cooking duties and his wife's political activities. The promise of 50 crore each (half of 100 crore) within just three days was too tempting to refuse, especially for men feeling stuck in their mundane routines.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes early on that both men are dissatisfied with their current lives, making them vulnerable to get-rich-quick schemes.

  • bullet singh
  • 100 crore
  • rajat
  • anupam
  • scam
  • bangkok
Q2

How did the 100 crore gift turn into a 100 crore debt?

Bullet Singh was deceived by his fellow prisoner Zico. Bullet believed he had inherited 100 crore from his late father, but in reality, Zico had used Bullet's identity to take a 100 crore loan that went unpaid. When Bullet was released, the debt was transferred to him, making him owe the money rather than own it.

Foreshadowing: Zico's confession later reveals he deliberately shed Bullet from the scheme to avoid repaying the loan.

  • bullet singh
  • zico
  • debt
  • 100 crore
  • deception
  • bangkok
Q3

Why did Bolihari stop the execution when Rajat said Hare Krishna?

Bolihari and his daughter Matahari are devoted followers of Lord Krishna. When Rajat shouted "Hare Krishna" at the moment of execution, it caught Bolihari's attention and revealed that at least one of the prisoners shared his religious devotion. This prompted him to pause the execution and offer a alternative deal instead of killing them outright.

Foreshadowing: Rajat's intense devotion to Lord Krishna, established early in the film, becomes crucial to his survival.

  • hare krishna
  • bolihari
  • execution
  • matahari
  • devotion
  • lord krishna
Q4

What was the marriage condition Bolihari set for releasing them?

Bolihari offered to waive the entire 100 crore debt if any three of the four people (Rajat, Anupam, Bullet, or Madhusudan) married his daughter Matahari. This unusual condition stemmed from his devotion to Krishna, he wanted to see his daughter married before his arrest, using the debt as leverage to force a wedding.

Foreshadowing: Matahari's emotional distress about being unmarried is briefly mentioned, hinting at her father's desperation.

  • bolihari
  • matahari
  • marriage
  • debt waiver
  • condition
Q5

Why did Rajat collapse during the wedding ceremony?

Rajat faked his death during the vermilion (sindoor) ceremony to escape the forced marriage to Matahari. He was already married to Maya and did not want to go through with the wedding, so he collapsed at the critical moment, pretending to be dead to derail the ceremony and buy time for escape.

Foreshadowing: Rajat's hesitation and shock at the arranged wedding plan signals his reluctance to betray Maya.

  • rajat
  • wedding
  • collapse
  • fake death
  • matahari
  • vermilion
Q6

Who was Michael really and what was his connection to Matahari?

Michael, the hotel manager who welcomed Rajat and Anupam in Bangkok, was actually Madhusudan Dutta, a schemer involved in Kolkata's Saradha and Rose Valley financial scams who fled to Bangkok under a false identity. He had developed genuine feelings for Matahari but hid his real identity because of his history of deceiving Indian men for money.

Foreshadowing: Michael's suspiciously familiar behavior and his smiles during tense moments hint at his deeper involvement.

  • michael
  • madhusudan dutta
  • matahari
  • identity
  • scams
  • bangkok
Q7

How did the wives save their husbands at the climax?

When Matahari cornered Rajat, Anupam, and Bullet at the dock with a gun, the three wives, Maya, Rai, and Malati, intervened and stopped Matahari from harming them. Their intervention gave Madhusudan the opportunity to declare his love for Matahari, which led to her lowering the gun and accepting him instead.

Foreshadowing: The wives' decision to travel to Bangkok with police help demonstrates their determination to protect their husbands.

  • wives
  • maya
  • rai
  • malati
  • matahari
  • climax
  • save
Q8

What happened to Madhusudan and Matahari at the end?

Madhusudan Dutta revealed his true identity and declared his love for Matahari despite his criminal past. Matahari accepted his feelings, and they shared a kiss, forming a secondary romantic couple. Meanwhile, the families prepared to return to India with the criminals arrested and the truth finally exposed.

Foreshadowing: Michael's mysterious smiles and lingering looks at Matahari throughout the film hint at his genuine affection.
