Niren Lahiri directs this social-minded melodrama concerning the sophisticated relationship between a standard Hindu household headed by Madhab Thakur (Choudhury) and their progressive next-door neighbor Mukherjee (Chhabi Biswas). Thakur's daughter, Malati (Sheila Haldar), and Mukherjee's son, Robi (Robin Majumdar), run a faculty educating conventional Hindu values which they hope will develop into a national franchise. Their deliberate nuptials are impeded when Malati's older sister is compelled to marry a Brahmin towards her will, leading to a full-scale revolt in each households. Finally, the rift is settled, the hero and heroine marry, and a kind of Hindu-laden modernity reigns within the two households.
