BANKA LEKHA
|
|
DebkantaRoy
(Bipin
Gupta) commits suicide when he is declared
|
|
insolvent and
his children Rama (KANAN) and Kunal
(Anup Kumar)
|
|
come to
Calcutta in search of work. Kunal is yet very young and
|
|
makes demands
to elder sister Rama, who finds it difficult to make
|
|
both ends
meet. Prof. Guha is their neighbour in Calcutta and they
|
|
develop a
relationship that is sometimes friendly and sometimes not.
|
|
Rama is
attacked by hooligans while on a search for a job and is
|
|
rescued by
Asit. Finally she takes up governess’ job not knowing
|
|
that the
child Chhabi (Hashi) is Asit’s daughter. When she meets
|
|
Asit here, he
tells her that he had no role in her appointment in his
|
|
house but it
was really Chhabi’s choice. Rama’s involvement in the
|
|
affairs of
the house increases, so does the time that she spends with
|
|
the family.
She gets close to Asit and when his aunt, Mashima
|
|
(Suprabha
Mukherjee) gets a hint, she Rama to leave. Rama loses
|
|
her job but
is haunted by lingering memories. Kunal feels that his
|
|
sister is
moving away from him and in a moment of uncharacteristic
|
|
ruthlessness
writes a letter with a crooked hand that changes the
|
|
course of
Rama’s life………
