However, Jhilmil is apparently killed during the exchange of the ransom even though her dead body is not found. Over there, another demand of ransom is made during the process of interrogation at the police station. After a comedic and entertaining chase, Inspector Dutta manages to arrest Barfi and take him to Darjeeling. Soon, Inspector Dutta learns about Jhilmil's loss, travels to Kolkata, and bumps into Barfi. Shruti files a missing report of Jhilmil in the police. She rekindles her friendship with Barfi and they begin to grow closer again, much to the jealousy of Jhilmil who then goes missing. Later, Barfi cleverly escapes from Inspector Dutta along with Jhilmil and the two soon move to Kolkata.Ħ years later, Barfi unexpectedly reunites with Shruti who is unhappy with her marriage with Ranjeet. A dejected Barfi leaves Jhilmil at her caretaker's house but she refuses to stay over there and makes him take her away from there. Her father hands over the ransom to Barfi but his father unfortunately dies just after he makes the hospital payment. He hides her in his apartment and sends a ₹7000 ransom note to Jhilmil's family. After an unsuccessful attempt of robbing a local bank, Barfi finds Jhilmil in an abandoned van and drives away along with her. Meanwhile, Barfi's autistic childhood friend Jhilmil Chatterjee suddenly gets kidnapped and her wealthy father Durjoy Chatterjee asks Inspector Dutta to search for her. Shortly after Shruti's departure, Barfi's father suffers from kidney failure and is hospitalised, and Barfi is asked to arrange ₹7000 for his surgery. Shruti unwillingly agrees to her mother's advice, marries Ranjeet Sengupta, and leaves Darjeeling, breaking all contact with Barfi. However, Shruti's mother advises her over avoiding to marry him due to his disabilities and lack of money. He is smitten by her heavenly beauty and charm, thus falling in love with her.
