Plot

In the film, a young girl, Uma (Sara Sengupta) living in Switzerland, is fighting for her life with a terminal disease. She wants to see Durga Puja of Kolkata, the biggest celebrated festival of the Bengali Hindus. Himadri Sen, her father (Jisshu Sengupta) takes her to Kolkata to fulfill her dream by planning to set up a fake Durga Puja. Her father and family struggle much to make his daughter's dreams come true and find a director called Brahmananda Chakraborty (Anjan Dutt). The failed director sees this as his opportunity to create a masterpiece, by helping a dying girl. After several requests, the director agrees and makes a false set of Durga Puja. During this, they face many problems to make Uma's dream true.[4]

The plot is based on true events surrounding the life and death of Evan Leversage, who lived in St George in Ontario, Canada.[2][5]
