Just before she walks into the room where they wait, she peeks inside, then looks down at the shoes left outside the door. The year is 1977, the marriage is arranged, and their first encounter is perfect. Ashima (Tabu) makes her first appearance as she scurries to meet Ashoke at her parents’ home. Still, he reveres his family and traditions, and in the film’s third sequence, he selects an Indian wife to accompany him back to America. In fact, he moves to New York City, with a PhD in fiber optics, and becomes a university professor. Though the movie doesn’t specify the process of his coming decisions, this briefly held image intimates his thinking. Ashoke next appears in bed, his face bruised nearly beyond recognition, his leg in a cast. In this moment, amid wreckage and noise and moaning survivors, The Namesake begins again. An older man encourages him to “see” the world: “You’ll never regret it.” Ashoke smiles, “My grandfather said that’s what books are for, to travel without moving an inch.” Quiet and respectful, their exchange lasts only a minute or two. Inside a train car, a mother fans her child, a thin arm dangles from a bunk, and the camera picks up a young man, Ashoke Ganguli (Irfan Khan), his head buried in a book, Gogol’s The Overcoat. Crowded, raucous, and large, the place is full of travelers going in different directions, mothers and fathers, sons and sisters, imagining themselves into unknowable futures.

The Ganguli family will be destined to travel to India again soon - this time under very different circumstances - and after all have endured life-changing events.The Namesake begins at Calcutta’s Howrah train station. Gogol falls in love with Maxine Ratliff and moves in with her family, while Ashoke spends time traveling, and Sonia moves to California, leaving Ashima all her by herself. The second time they travel to India is when Gogol and Sonia are in their late teens, and after a memorable visit to Kolkata and then to the Taj Mahal, they return home. The family then buy their own house in the suburbs and travel to India for the first time after their marriage.

Shortly thereafter they become parents of a boy, who they initially name Gogol, and a few years later both give birth to Sonia. The train meets with an accident, and after recuperating, Ashoke re-locates to America, settles down, returns home in 1977 to get married to aspiring singer, Ashima, and returns home to New York. While traveling by train to visit his grandfather in Jamshedpur, Calcutta born, Bengali-speaking Ashoke Ganguli meets with fellow-traveler, Ghosh, who impresses upon him to travel, while Ashoke is deep into a book authored by Nicholai Gogol.
