Plot
[edit]The story is about Professor Sukhendu Dutta (Soumitra Chatterjee), a well-educated poor orphan, who lives with his aunt in a small apartment in Kolkata. Along with his regular job in the university, he also earns his living by private tuition. He met Archana Bose (Dutta) (Suchitra Sen), a well-educated woman of rich family background in a private party thrown in honour of a student of Sukhendu.
