Plot

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. After that, they fell in love and got married. Archana's mother was not happy with the marriage from the beginning, considering the poor income of Sukhendu. Eventually her mother’s intense interference in the married life of Sukhendu and Archana led to a mutual separation.
