Description

This Bangla movie with English subtitles has a duration of 120 minutes, and carries interactive menu of scene selection.

Sometime in the 19th century, the savage practice of Sati had been banned but not quite banished. An old decrepit Brahmin, Sitaram, is brought to the holy river to invoke divine blessings when an astrologer suggests that he can earn some merit by marrying again. The suggestion is accepted and a poor and needy Brahmin found willing to offer his young daughter, Yashobati, for the purpose.

Despite protests from the “untouchable” Baiju, the cremation ground attendant, the marriage is solemnized. But death tarries and the relatives to heed the call of more mundane matters. The down-to-earth and rebellious Baiju however is overcome by anger and passion. The result is stormy and somewhat unpredictable.
