Arindam, played by Tapas Pal, is a successful businessman and is very much interested in Sukanya, played by Debashree Roy, who is very reserved and introverted. Arindam tries to win Sukanya's heart, but she is hesitant as she has many questions unanswered about her past.

In the meantime, a matrimonial alliance takes place between Sukanya and a wealthy businessman named Shyamalendu Mitra, played by Utpal Dutt. Sukanya initially agreed to the proposal, but when she found out that her prospective husband is already married and has children, she cancels the engagement. Arindam, who had been in love with her for a long time, comes to her rescue during this difficult time.

Arindam then seeks out Sukanya's father to ask for her hand in marriage. Sukanya's father refuses to give his approval as he has already pledged his daughter's hand in marriage to a wealthy businessman. Feeling crushed, Arindam takes the matter into his own hands and decides to compete with the wealthy businessman in a competition that will determine who will marry Sukanya.

The competition is an interesting one, and it involves testing the suitors on various skills such as cooking, painting, singing, and dancing.
