Herbert is a 2005 Indian Bengali-language drama film directed by veteran theater director Suman Mukhopadhyay.
Krishna slowly introduced Herbert and Binu both, to the world of communism and ideology of Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Ho Chi Minh etc.
While leaving he hands him a copy of "Ten days that shook the world" and tells him he has left his books in one of the house's rooms, for him to read.
The film moves a few years in future and Binu comes back to Kolkata with his father to get admitted in Presidency College during the 70's.
He sets up a roaring business called "Dialogues with the Dead" for three years and for the first time in his life, earns money and the respect of others.
