| Summary: | After 20 years, Padmini, a retired film star comes to India from the US to launch her second husband Sambit as the director of his debut film in Kolkata. Kakoli, the proposed heroine of the film, is infamous for her narcotics addiction. On the first day of the shoot, Mallika, an aspiring journalist who lives with Rangapishima, her widowed aunt, appears for her maiden film assignment. Mallika accompanies Kakoli home after the shoot for an exclusive interview, only to remain the lone witness to Kakoli's sudden accidental death. The media is ripe with assumptions, and the police are misled with ever-changing clues. At this point a second death occurs. Rangapishima, an avid fan of Padmini, intervenes and conducts an investigation of her own, setting the stage for a complex dramatic narrative. |
