What happens in Chander Bari from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 1-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The Sanyal clan is a sprawling, multigenerational brood living in a sunlit mansion in Bhawanipur. At its head sits the nonagenarian grandfather [Haradhan Bandopadhyay], whose quiet authority anchors a household that feels more like a small village than a family. His son [Ranjit Mallick] runs the home, while a formidable daughter-in-law rules the roost with a sharp eye and a firm hand. Their children—the daughter [Koel Mallick] and the son [Rishi Kaushik]—grow up under the same roof, in a house that seems to have more servants than relatives, embodying the long-standing ideal of a joint family.
