Professor Sukhendu Dutta (Soumitra Chatterjee), a well-educated poor orphan, who lives with his aunt in a small apartment in Kolkata.

He met Archana Basu (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.
