- Synopsis
- Four friends from Calcutta city venture out to the forests of Palmau for a holiday excursion in car. They arrive at a little village in the state of Bihar. Not having made any arrangements for their stay, they come across a rest house. As they have not made reservations, they bribe the caretaker, who risks his job, as he needs the money for his wife’s illness. The four young men are full of the over-confidence of the big city and scant respect for the rural villagers. The group is led by Asim (Soumitra Chatterjee), the richest of the four. Sanjoy (Subhendu Chatterjee) is a timid person who always plays it safe. The sportsman, non-intellectual Hari (Samit Bhanja) wants to forget a girl who recently rejected him. Sekhar (Robi Ghosh) is self-confident and comical. The journey into the forest turns out to be a journey of self-discovery.
