Plot

The film is set in a village called Vinsura, a unknown geographical location with a disruptive bio-diverse backdrop. Athhoi (Arna Mukhopadhyay) is a Dalit who comes to Bhinsura with his widowed mother. He has faced the wrath of "upper castes" and was always afraid of events like when his grandmother was burnt at the stake as people called her to be a witch. After he lost his mother due to poverty and malnutrition, Gogo's (Anirban Bhattacharya) father, who was the local landlord, gave Athhoi shelter at his mansion. Despite not having any blood relationship, he provided him proper education and always taught him never lose faith in human. Despite wearing Gogo's rejected clothes, he excelled Gogo in every field; n studies, football and even romance.

Athhoi grew up, came to Calcutta and met Diyamona aka Diya (Sohini Sarkar). They fell in love with each other. But Diya's father (Kaushik Banerjee) didn't approve this relationship because Athhoi belonged from a "lower caste". Despite of her father's objection, she married Athhoi. Anguished, he cursed Athhoi that if a daughter can betray her own father, then one day the same betrayal is waiting for Athhoi. By this time, both Gogo and Athhoi had become doctors. While Gogo pursued cancer research in USA, Athhoi dreamt of building a healthcare centre in the village. He was determined to become a doctor and provide medication to the people at low cost, because he did not want any one else to die due to poverty, malnutrition and inavailability of proper treatment like his own mother.

In the mean time, Gogo became jealous of Athhoi's fame and success, and planned to take revenge. He was determined to prove him evil in front of the whole village. He returned To Vinsura from US and maliciously ignited jealousy in Athhoi. In the vail of a good old friend, Gogo conspired to break the happy family of Athhoi. He constantly filled Diya's mind with false words which made her suspicious against her husband Athhoi. It lead to falling down of their well organized family. [20] [21]
