A night in
war time Calcutta.. The siren suddenly warns of an impending
|
|
attack..
Mamata
(KANAN)
takes shelter with brother Dulal at a trench,
|
|
but Dulal is
inquisitive and runs out to see the fun and Mamata runs
|
|
after him…Prakash(Dhiraj
Bhattacharya)
,who had also taken shelter
|
|
runs after
them in case help is required and they come to know each
|
|
other…The
siren sounds all clear and Prakash and Mamata go
|
|
their
respective ways and thereafter it strikes to Prakash that he has
|
|
not taken
their address…
|
|
Prakash’s
father Satyashib
(Sailen Choudhury)
runs a rice mill and |
|
leaves
Calcutta for fear of bombs but his son stays back in the pretext
|
|
of looking
after business. Prakash meets Dulal by coincidence and
|
|
goes to their
house to find their impoverished condition. He offers to
|
|
help Mamata
in a number of ways but she declines to accept. Prakash
|
|
even secures
a job for Mamata in his own office but she refuses again.
|
|
The city gets
flooded with posters of a film under production a nd
|
|
Prakash
learns that Mamata is working here as an extra. He buys a
|
|
share of the
film company and also plays the hero of the film. By then
|
|
Mamata’s
talent is recognized and she is elevated to play heroine.
|
|
A dispute
with the producer sees Prakash being left out of the project.
|
|
Satyashib
learns about the adventures of his son from news papers
|
|
and comes to
Calcutta but instead of sorting out matters gets into a
|
|
quarrel with
his son and drives him out of the house…
|
|
Days pass and
the father repents his action and comes to the studio
|
|
to enquire
about his son. The film company has closed down by then
|
|
no one can
trace Prakash…The old man is told however that
|
|
Prakash’s
whereabouts can be found from heroine Mamata. The
|
|
father then
starts his search for the heroine, the hero, for his son…
