    Producer: Roudra Movies
    Director: Reshmi Mitra
    Cast: Rahul, Priyanka, Papia Adhikari, Rudranil Ghosh, Kharaj Mukherjee
    Raj, the grandson and sole heir to the property of the Sanyal family, falls in love with a flower-seller Kusum, who besides suffering from abject poverty is burdened with the responsibility of an alcoholic father, a sick sister and an admirer with strong streaks of violence. She refuses to fall for Raj but finally relents. The cootchie-cooing begins in real earnest. Raj walks out of the clutches of his Hitler-like grandmother Nirupama Sanyal only to land in a real mess. He fails to get a job because the grandma warns everyone not to give him a job. When Kusum’s sister falls critically ill, Raj sees a hoarding announcing a kick-boxing contest that will fetch a prize money of Rs10 lakhs. He persuades the Muslim owner of an akhada to train him in a couple of weeks so that he can bag the prize. Meanwhile, Kusum’s admirer Bishu has clinched a deal with her. He will marry her and foot the hospital bill for her sister. Raj, who is hurt in the boxing contest despite winning the championship, pulls off his tubes, totters into the marriage mandap, and forces a reluctant Kusum to bend to his lisping baby talk of which she is so fond. But Bishu knifes him in the abdomen and twists the knife several times. The crowd breaks into a chant that goes Bhalobasha zindabad and all’s well with the world though we do not know whether Raj survives the knife attack on not.

    ... contd.
