Story

Tanvir (Zahid Hasan) is a gambler who never wins, so his family relies on his wife's income. His wife, Rita (Moushumi), borrowed money from her relatives for his business, but he lost it all gambling. Tareq (Mosharraf Karim) is a wealthy but lonely man who has a cousin named Babar who works for him. One day, Tareq meets Tanvir in a park, where he is playing imaginary cards alone because he has no money.

Tareq lends Tanvir money to gamble with and watches him play. As the story progresses, Tanvir borrows thousands of pounds from Tareq. One day, Tareq refuses to lend him any more money, even though Tanvir has a good hand and is about to win. Tanvir offers his wife as collateral to Tareq in order to borrow more money. However, Tanvir loses the bet, leaving Rita heartbroken when she finds out. She leaves Tanvir's house and moves in with Tareq. While the lovesick Tanvir waits outside Tareq's house, hoping Rita will forgive him, Tareq tries to win her over. Rita neither forgives Tanvir nor accepts Tareq's love. Ultimately, she leaves Tareq's house without informing anyone and becomes a teacher in a remote village.
