Description The year 1964. Kolkata is ravaged by communal riots.
A woman named Nanibala seeks Byomkesh Bakshi's help as she believes her adopted son Prabhat, a book seller by profession, is in mortal danger. Bomkesh is intrigued but no sooner than he sets out to investigate, Anadi Haldar, Prabhat's employer gets murdered. The plot thickens.
The story is a maze of twists and turns set against the backdrop of those turbulent times, with a curious lineup of puzzling characters. Shiuli, a bar crooner, desperate to get a break as a film actress. Anadi Haldar's nephews who spy on Anadi's household. Batul - the local goon who runs a protection racket. Keshtobabu, who alone knows how to live off his close-fisted old friend Anadi Halder.
A complex of greed, lust and betrayals - intricately woven by the master story teller Saradindu, recreated on celluloid with equal finesse by Anjan Dutt, supported by an extraordinary star cast.
