This non-linear structured story tells events that happened in two eras. The story jumps from the present era, where Raktim is a school teacher, to the story of Amal, an extremist of the ’70s, in the house of his ex-girlfriend Manjari.
In the early ’70s, Amal, a Naxalite, flees to the home of Manjari. The film tells a tale with a reincarnation spin. In 2020, Raktim Chowdhury is a temporary Bengali teacher in a school in Hooghly. The students wrote ‘Dracula Sir’ on the blackboard due to his two protruding teeth. Raktim learns about Amal, how he was hiding in Manjari’s house and how Manjari could not save him from getting arrested. The tale moved him very much. Raktim starts to think himself as the reincarnation of Amal. He starts to hallucinate about Manjari.
Later, he is taken to psychiatrists who discover that he has a mental disorder and as a result, is associating himself with Amal. Raktim gradually gets cured after gathering enough evidence of not being Amal. He finally meets the real Amal, an old man who was once a naxalite, thus proving he is not Amal’s reincarnation. However, Raktim later visits Manjari’s house, where Amal is hiding. In the house, Raktim finds a photograph of Manjari with a person who looks exactly like him. Raktim starts to hallucinate Manjari again and tells the audience,“Is it any disorder or memories from the past life? Let’s keep the question aside”.
