The school of a remote and poor village shut down, the head master Krishna Prasanna (Chhabi) migrates to city in search of job. He moves with family, wife Labanya (Karuna), nubile daughter (Ranjana) and very young son. He takes residence with his wife's brother. He meets per chance one of his ex students, of whom he used to take free evening classes and many of whom got merit scholarship and became cream of society, a doctor, a judge, successful lawyer, manager of a big bank and so on. Can he cross the barrier and meet them? All have big bungalows and office with watchmen to stop. If he managed to meet them, will they recall his contribution and help their benefactor? If they do, what change he has to bring in himself? Can he? Exceptional performance by the actors and realistic portrayal of society and office politics.—S Basu

The village school closed, the old headmaster migrates to the city. Unwilling to continue teaching, he looks for other jobs. Will his ex-students, many now top echelons of society, help him, whose free evening tuition brought them there? Can they?—S Basu
