The word 'fair' means happiness and festivity. But amid the festivities, there are people experiencing misfortune. Shonai, Boshir, Dalimon, Rustom, Bonosribala and Chayanajan are among them, and Kitonkhola is their story. The contrast between rural culture and festivities and the harsh reality of their daily struggle is striking. This harsh reality forces Bonosribala to take her own life. Shonai, Boshir, Chayanjan and Rustom are perplexed by their profession. Darkness looms around them.
In the summer 2001 issue of Cinemaya, film critic Ahmed Muztaba Zamal wrote "The most outstanding performance in the film is that of Tamalika Karmakar". He also commended the presentation of characters Sonai and Chhayaranjan, but commented that director Abu Sayeed "has been less successful in presenting the other two important characters", Banasribala and Idu Contractor, and said the film "disappoints in places, with its technical imperfections."[2]
