Three years after the partition of India, Shibnath, a freedom fighter, returns from 11 years of imprisonment. He tries to pick up his life again but his past experiences make it impossible. Unable to come to terms with the changes the country has gone through, he retreats into a shell.

A poignant and thought-provoking lens on the struggles of a newly independent country trying to get on its feet. This is symbolized by an idealistic freedom fighter’s struggle to cope with the disillusionment he witnesses in free India. Featuring a compelling performance by Mithun Chakraborty.
