Plot

The story involves a rich girl, Purna Chatterjee, who gets accidentally married to an uneducated vagabond Shantu Gunda, a goon living in a slum in a twist of fate. Shantu, once a bright student Digbijoy Roy, gets jailed for 3 years for a crime he committed accidentally and later gets hired by Gogon Makhal, the leader of a local political party. Purna is the daughter of Justice Barun Chatterjee, the judge responsible for Shantu's imprisonment. Born and brought up conservatively, she never thought of meeting a man and falling in love with him, thus agreeing for an arranged marriage with Ritam. Shantu, on the other hand applies sindoor on Purna's forehead in a fit of rage just to prove his point about marriage, but he later regrets it. Though shocked and distraught at first, Purna leaves Ritam on the very ritual whereas Ritam supports Purna and says he loves her irrespective of the accidental sindur which is not really a marriage by law. But Purna forcefully enters in the slum as a newly wed bride, much to the chagrin of her father as well as Shantu. Ritam continues to love her but Purna ignores him and keeps chasing Shantu, who is also loved secretly by his childhood friend Radha. However, destiny makes many events occur in the life of Shantu and Purna which eventually make them both gets close to each other.[1]
