Story of the film-Nouka dubi
The time period of the film is 1920s. This is a love film with lot of events, conflicts. Ramesh, a law student felt in love with his friend’s sister Hemnalini but to some extend was forced by circumstances to marry another girl Susheela from his village. After marriage Ramesh and his bride set out on a river boat journey back to Kolkata where Ramesh was studying.
Hemnalini knows nothing about this marriage. She knows that Ramesh has to go to his village home for some urgent work and will come back soon.
The boat capsizes in the river due to heavy storm. The couples were separated and later in the night Ramesh finds himself in a deserted shore. He finds a bride in the unconscious form and mistakes her as his Susheela. They take a train to Kolkata.
In Kolkata, Ramesh gradually comes to know the actual fact. The lady is not Susheela, she is Kamala. On that nouka dubi night she was traveling with her husband Dr. Nalinaksha Chatterjee. Ramesh tries to trace out Dr. Nalinaksha Chatterjee and puts Kamala into a boarding school. In the mean time the story of the film takes a turn. Akshay, Hemnalini’s would be suitor comes to know every thing and informs Hemnalini. Helpless Ramesh goes to Gorakhpur with Kamala for hiding.
