Laughter… the familiar chink of glasses and crockery… the dazzle of the chandeliers… In a dark, dingy room smeared with grime, Sandhya Mondal is weeping……. Amarnath Mallick, the business magnate and powerful politician is celebrating. So is his socialite wife Rama…. over the engagement of their daughter Rinita to the young, rich and ambitious Rajat Dutta… who is the son of another business tycoon known to them…. Sandhya Mondal is encompassed by darkness….fear, dread, shame…..she is lost…she can see nothing but blackness ahead of her…..
The party is over. It was a grand success. The guests have departed. The sparkling jewelry that Rinita has received needs to be put away…….but that can wait. Now that the guests have all gone, the Mallick household will sit down to do a post mortem of the party. Arin, the non-conformist scion of the Mallick family will also sit to discuss the party with his Mom and Dad, Sis and Brother-in-law-to -be……The final flicker of light fades in Panchanantala bustee…..
There is a sharp knock at the door. The Sub-Inspector of Padma Pukur Police Station, Tinkori Haldar enters the fabulous Mallick mansion. The family is stunned. And furious….Who the hell is this Sub-Inspector to barge into the house on this auspicious day? “Forgive my intrusion, but I’ve come to inquire about the suicide of one Sandhya Mondal of the bustee…”
More rage and anger from the family…”What rubbish! How are we, a premier family of Kolkata, connected with the suicide of a slum dweller? We have never heard of any Sandhya Mondal!”
“But Sir,” persists Tinkori Haldar gently but firmly, “I would like you all to see her photograph…” The words strike home. But more strange is the man in front of them, the Sub-Inspector…who is he? How singularly odd he is. How uncanny. How surreal! “Look at the photograph carefully…” he drawls in his professional voice.
The family starts going to pieces. But why? Why the sudden change of manner? Only a minute ago they swore with full confidence that they had never even heard of the woman in the photograph…Then did the confidence spring from ignorance? Did they actually know her? Maybe even share a relationship with her? As the plot thickens, only one thing is clear…. there’s more to it than meets the eye…

There is an engagement party at Amarnath Mullick’s house on the occasion of his daughter Rinita getting engaged to Rajat. After the party is over and everyone has left,
a cop Tinkari Haldar arrives and tells them that a girl named Sandhya Mondol has committed suicide in the Goabagan Bustee. She has left behind a diary where all their names (Mr Mullick, his wife, his son Arin, his daughter Rinita and Rajat, Rinita’s would be husband names are mentioned).When all of them deny knowing her, Tinkari Haldar shows all of them her photograph individually and it is revealed that all of them knew her under different names and had done injustice to her in some way or the other.They all tell their own stories of how they had come across her and had done injustice to herAfter Tinkari Haldar goes away leaving behind the diary, it is discovered that there is nothing written in the diary and no cop by the name of Tinakari Haldar is there at Padmapukur Thana. Soon after they receive a call from someone saying a girl named Sandhya Mondol had indeed committed suicide at Goabagan Bustee and their names had been found in her diary and a cop was on his way to interrogate them. All of them then wonder as to who this person Tinkari Haldar actually was and maybe according to Arin, he was actually their conscience who had paid them a visit to remind them of a few realities in life.
