Plot
This is a family drama which is portrayed against the backdrop of Durga Puja, West Bengal's biggest festival. The story is about a cultured Bengali family, different members that have gathered in their native house on the occasion of Durga puja. Bhagabati has four children: two sons Asit and Nishith and two daughters Parul and Keya. It is festival time and all the children are at the main house to celebrate. Meanwhile, Shishir, a relative who is also a big real estate agent, is interested in buying the house. Most of the family members want to sell the house. The old and traditional house is not a place for everyone's interest and they have individual problems to solve with money. None of the sisters are looking forward to the family reunion as they all are more concerned about their own problems.
