Plot

Non-resident Bengali Radhika marries thespian poet Indranil Mitra to settle in Kolkata. While Indranil is immersed in the surreal world of words, rhythms, rhymes, and imaginations, Radhika single-handedly manages the private and public aspects of married life. Radhika gets wholesome support from their housemaid Priyobala Das. While the apparently irresponsible and introverted Indranil carries out one selfish deed after other, Radhika stands like a rock to make the family financially sound.
All the reluctance and indifference from Indranil makes Radhika's heart gravitate towards Shekhar, her colleague and Indranil's biggest admirer. Radhika becomes attracted to Shekhar but cannot abandon the unpredictability and histrionics of her spouse.
