In early Kolkata, a tender romance blossoms between a law student, Ramesh, and Hemnalini, the sister of a friend, whose quiet devotion lights up the city’s bustling streets. But a sudden summons from his village home drags him away, and his father presses him toward a different path: an arranged marriage to Susheela, the daughter of a vulnerable widow. Ramesh struggles with the duty before him, admitting that his heart truly belongs to Hemnalini, yet the widow’s impassioned plea tests his resolve. He yields, though with a heavy heart, and the ceremony proceeds. He then accompanies his new bride on a river voyage back to Kolkata, the weight of the arrangement resting on his shoulders.
