Bapi Bari Jaa 2012

Five childhood friends – Bapi, Dola, Jijo, Hasna and Riju – are just out of college and hang out together. Bapi is the younger son of a wealthy Kolkata jeweller, and his generosity often funds the group as they search for footing in the real world. While he steps into the family business, his friends chase their own opportunities, with Jijo starting a romantic relationship with Hasna and Riju navigating a romance that seems to involve a girl five years older than him.

One night, when Riju’s world is upended after meeting the older girl’s fiancée and hearing her refer to him as her brother, he ends up getting drunk and abandoned outside a bar by the very friends who once stood by him. As the night ends and the group drifts back toward the safety of familiar faces, Bapi realizes a quiet, growing pull toward Dola. When Dola visits Bapi’s home, a moment of awkward tension surfaces: he asks her, > who is Bishwayan da? The question hangs in the air as a spark of something more dangerous and thrilling flickers between them. Their exchange ends with a kiss on the cheek and a stubborn admission from Dola that they are just friends, followed by a teasing reminder that Bapi isn’t exactly the mysterious, manly type she craves.

Meanwhile, a troubling family moment arrives when an elder relative uncovers adult magazines and hints of masturbation, pushing Bapi’s family to intervene and push for marriage. This pressure forces Bapi to confront the possibility of a conventional path he might not want, and he travels to meet a prospective bride named Sheuli, a middle-class girl who could offer him stability. Sheuli asks bluntly whether he loves someone else, and Bapi must confess that his heart still leans toward Dola. Sheuli offers a pragmatic solution: she will help him win Dola, but only if he calls off the arranged match. To win points with Sheuli’s plan, Bapi introduces her to his circle of friends, hoping the connection will smooth over his own growing confusion.

As the days unfold, Dola seems at first guarded, even a touch jealous, as Sheuli’s presence complicates the dynamics. Bapi tries to reinvent himself as a salesman on Sheuli’s guidance, hoping the job will give him the chance to prove himself to Dola. Yet an unspoken truth begins to emerge: Sheuli and Bapi start to fall for each other, while Dola slowly recognizes that her own feelings for Bapi run deeper than she’d admitted. The tension mounts, and the trio navigates competing desires, lingering doubts, and the ache of unspoken love.

The situation intensifies when Bapi visits Sheuli’s home only to be told to stay away, and Sheuli herself confronts life with the return of an old boyfriend to the city. Amidst these shifting loyalties, Dola finally gathers the courage to open up about her own heart, telling Bapi that she loves him and urging him to stay true to his own path rather than sacrificing his job or happiness for a rushed romance. The story spins a delicate web of affection, ambition, and the messy but hopeful search for who you truly are, as the five friends clash with expectations, friendships, and the possibility of lasting love.
