Plot

A village near Bolpur, divided into two territories - Uttarpara and Dakshinpara, are ruled by two power-seeking personalities: an MLA Deepak Dutta and a doctor Ashim Samanta, respectively. Both characters turn out to be corrupt in their own ways, and employ a group of hooligans who do their dirty work. The leader of Dutta's group is named Bhombol and the head of the doctor's group is named Rana. Rana is the son of a school teacher, but is unemployed, which leads him to ask Ashim for a job. Thereafter, the corrupt doctor begins exploiting him, involving him in anti-social activities. Similarly, MLA Deepak utilizes Bhombol for the sake of his power and position.

Shubhankar Chowdhury, a hard-working and honest doctor, comes to the village with his sister Roma and he soon combats local corruption. He fights with Bhombol and his companion to save a pregnant woman and her child, eventually taking the lady, along with her father, in his car to seek help. Bhombol and his group plan to kidnap Shubhankar's sister as revenge for Shubhankar refusing to pay their extortion money. Bhombol has a change of heart though when Shubhankar offers to operate on his mother's heart without a fee. While collecting protection money, Rana tortures a tailor to make her give Rs. 500/- to him. Roma hears about this and reports the incident to the police, but the police officer refuses to act. It turns out that Dr. Ashim pays him bribes. Rana is instructed to cut Roma's hair in public as an act of revenge and does so.

Shubhankar recognises Rana's father as their childhood teacher and gives him basic treatment for some wounds. When news of Shubhankar's treatment is related to Rana, he feels ashamed for cutting Roma's hair and asks for forgiveness from Shubhankar and Roma. Dr. Ashim makes plans to kill Bhombol's mother and then to accuse Shubhankar of the crime, but the fact that Deepak is the culprit and Bhombol is the victim gets proved in the court with the help of a few photographs.

Deepak's son Rohit and Ashim's daughter Soma are in love with each other and denounce their father's corruption. Ashim makes a confession in court regarding the conspiracy he made with MLA to kill Bhombol's mother. Deepak and Ashim are imprisoned for five years.
