Ayan is an idler who dreams of making it big as a writer some day. The film opens with his voice-over as he pens his autobiography in a diary. The story is told in flashback, where he meets Smriti on a trip to Kalimpong with a bunch of friends. He learns that she is the daughter-in-law of the owner of the guest-house whose only son goes missing during the couple’s honeymoon. He falls in love with Smriti and proposes to her. But she says she cannot marry him. Why? She wants to hold back the truth from her father-in-law about his only son. Her husband’s body was discovered 10 days after he went missing. Her father-in-law, who is a heart patient, lives in the hope that his missing son will be back some day. She is morally bound to keep him alive. Ayan goes back to Kolkata, promising to wait for her till she is ready to marry him and pens his thoughts in a diary.

Technical Expertise
Sunit Bhattacharya was a journalist who assisted noted filmmakers before stepping into direction himself. His story had a good scope. But he messes it up by handling all the important areas of filmmaking himself and that too in his debut film. The weakest link in his characterisation is that of the hero, Ayan, who is a weakling of a man, defies his parents. But Ritwik does as much justice as he can to an ill-defined role. Biswajit Chakraborty as Smriti’s father-in-law and Sreelekha Mitra as Smriti are excellent. Bhattacharya’s story narration in flashback is not original but interesting, though the editing leaves much to be desired. The choreography of an “item” number sticks out like a sore thumb in the film.
Indrajeet as Smriti’s husband has nothing much to do in this saga. What stops him from screaming for help as he falls off the cliff demands complete suspension of disbelief!

Verdict
Just one star for the acting of the three main characters.
