Plot
The story centres on Professor Sukhendu Dutta, who is played by Soumitra Chatterjee. An orphan from a poor background with a good education, he lives with his aunt in a small apartment in Kolkata. As well as his regular job at the university, he earns a living through private tuition. At a party held in honour of one of his students, he meets Archana Bose (Suchitra Sen), a well-educated woman from a wealthy family. They subsequently fall in love and marry. However, from the outset, Archana's mother disapproved of the marriage due to Sukhendu's low income. Ultimately, her intense interference in their lives led to their separation.
