Plot

This is the story of Swarupa (Suchitra), a girl who is unable to get Kushal's (Uttam Kumar) attention, no matter how hard she tries. She is a quiet person and suffers in silence. Kushal favours another woman, Abala (Anubha Gupta), who is both rich and beautiful. However, when he suddenly loses everything, Abala leaves him for a richer man.
