The story takes place 5 years after the events of
Belaseshe. Arati has been diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease. She fails to recognise her husband Biswanath, and has forgotten everything about her marital life except her 3 daughters - Malasree, Kaberi and Piu, and her son Barin. She recognises Bijon (Malasree's husband) and Sharmistha (Barin's wife), and remembers the existence of Jyotirmay (Kaberi's husband) and Palash (Piu's husband), but is unable to recognise them. Because of Arati's decreased tolerance to noise, Biswanath moves her from
Kolkata to
Santiniketan. In spite of his own advanced age, Biswanath single-handedly takes care of Arati, refusing to hand over her responsibility to their children or to any nurse. Biswanath states that he wants to take care of Arati alone without anyone's help as penitence for his inability to devote time for her during their married life. In spite of his efforts, Arati is completely unable to recognise Biswanath as her husband (who, she believes, has abandoned her), and regards him with contempt for violating her privacy. She often sneaks out of the house & roams around the village in her quest to return to her native village in
Faridpur and meet her childhood friend Atindra. In an attempt to help Arati regain her memory, Biswanath decides to take Arati to her native village. They are accompanied by Malasree, Bijon, Piu, Palash, and Jyotirmay. At Faridpur, they meet Atindra and try to reconnect Arati with her childhood memories. Arati becomes visibly happier and starts to recall the day of her marriage. She recalls her husband's name, but still fails to recognise him. In a last attempt to help Arati recollect her memories about Biswanath, her family recreates the day of her marriage, complete with all the necessary customs, which she gladly recognises. Although Arati's contempt for Biswanath had gone after the re-enactment of her marriage, she is still unable to recognise him as her husband. Biswanath finally gives up all hopes of Arati ever recognising him as her husband, but continues to take care of her. Parallel to Biswanath & Arati's story, the film shows the story of their children & their spouses. Barin (who was his father's assistant in his publishing house in
Belaseshe) is now a successful businessman who runs his own publishing house in Kolkata. He had been apprehensive about Sharmistha (who was portrayed as a middle-scale cloth merchant) outshining him professionally. This has now culminated in Sharmistha divorcing Barin. Sharmistha has shifted to
Mumbai with her son & daughter, where she runs a large
boutique frequented by big names of
Bollywood, and is considering marrying her colleague Kunal Bharadwaj. Arati doesn't remember Barin's divorce, and keeps asking him about Sharmistha. In an attempt to help Arati recover her memories, Barin personally requests Sharmistha to visit Arati. Sharmistha initially declines but later she visits Barin & his family at Shantiniketan after they had returned from Faridpur. Here, Barin apologies to Sharmistha for not allowing her to work freely during their married life & accepts her to be more talented than him. As a result, love is rekindled between them & Sharmistha refuses to go back to Mumbai. Bijon & Malasree haven't produced children in spite of being apparently happily married for many years. Malasree is pressured by her family to consult a doctor, but refuses. Later she reveals to Biswanath that Bijon is
gay, was forced by his family to
marry her for the sake of appearance. Biswanath urges Malasree to divorce Bijon, but she retorts that Biswanath himself has proved by his dedication to the now intellectually-disabled Arati that married life isn't centred exclusively around children. She states that both she & Bijon had tried to end the marriage by indulging in extra-marital affairs but failed to do so because they found solace in each other's companionship. Malasree believes that their friendship transcends physical desire, and Bijon would prove to be as faithful and devoted as Biswanath if she ever became like Arati. Palash has abandoned his position as a director in
Bollywood, and works as a TV actor in Mumbai. Piu, too, left the film industry to work as a designer, but then stopped working because she wants to bear children and enjoy motherhood. However, their attempts in this regard have not yet borne fruit, and Palash has become too busy with his work to devote time to Piu. Piu was becoming frustrated with her married life, but when she finds Biswanath regretful for not having spent enough time with Arati, she decides not to repeat the same mistake with Palash. It turns out that Palash is stressed by severe competition among small actors to remain relevant in the television industry, and is suffering from
oligospermia. He is initially reluctant to accompany Piu to Shantiniketan, but is eventually persuaded by Arati's repeated insistence to see him. At Shantiniketan he is able to reconnect with Piu. On the eve of the family's departure for Faridpur, Palash takes the monumental decision to pull out of the television industry and spend more time with his wife. On the day when Arati's marriage to Biswanath is re-enacted by her family, Piu reveals to Palash that she is finally pregnant with his child. ==Cast==
