Mrityunjoy
(Sanu
Goswami)
is a lawyer in Bhagalpur. His only son Arabinda
(Bhaskar Deb)
studies
|
in Calcutta
and is a frequent visitor to the native place of friend Nitai
(Indu
Mukherjee). On such a
|
visit to
Nitai’s village Arabinda has to marry Manorama
(Padmabati)
to save her honour. His mother
|
(played by
Manorama)
accepts Manorama as daughterin law but Mrityunjoy refuses to
recognize
|
her on the
ground that she did not bring enough dowry to find a legitimate place in
the household.
|
He forces
Manorama to leave the house and sends her back to her parents and tells
his son not to
|
have any
connection with his wife…………….
|
Arabinda
cannot disobey his father and to keep him happy, he remarries. The new
bride Brajarani
|
(played by
KANAN ) is educated but proud and ulta modern without a heart to
understand the
|
finer
feelings of Arabinda…….
|
Meanwhile,
Manorama gives birth to a son Ajit
(Binoy Goswami)
who grows up with a
constant urge
|
to see his
father. He wishes to study in Calcutta but does not have the resources
while Arabinda,
|
now
independent and on his own refuses to help his own son remembering his
father’s last wishes.
|
Finally,
Arabinda’s childhood friend Nitai arranges for Ajit’s education in
Calcutta but Ajit’s only job
|
in the city
is to search for his estranged father, so that he even fails to respond
to his mother’s
|
desperate
calls to be close to her at her death bed. Arabinda also suffers from
poor health and very
|
late in the
day Brajarani understands the reasons behind his illness, his guilty
conscience…….
|
Brajarani
visits Manorama’s place to bring her back, but it is too late. She finds
Manorama gasping
|
for breath…….
But Manorama lives long enough to hand over son Ajit to Brajarani and
her last words
|
for son Ajit
is to accept Brajarani as his mother………
