Plot synopsis
Arko, an aspiring bowler, wants to pursue his career in cricket. However, a torn ligament puts an end to his dreams. He tries his luck in various other jobs, but all in vain. Frustration and depression continue to take a toll on him. Then, suddenly, life starts lighting up after the birth of his son, Babai. While Arko stays at home and takes care of Babai, his wife, Riya, goes out to work. On the other hand, Kartik Mondol is a poor bus driver, who lives in a slum with his mother and wife and drives the buses owned by Madan Patra. Then, there is Swapan Chakraborty, an honest insurance investigator, who lives with his daughter and specially abled father. One morning, while Babai is going to school, he gets involved in an accident. Kartik's bus runs over little Babai, killing him. Arko's life is shattered. Though Kartik is arrested, he is made a scapegoat for the greater negligence by bus owners, the testing centres, and the corporate giant, Axle Motors. Swapan, who takes up the case, finds that the bus itself is a defective model. After obtaining bail, Kartik teams up with Arko and Swapan. Their protest, overcoming all difficulties, constitutes the main plot of the movie.[6]
