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.
