Bapi, the younger son of a rich jeweller in Kolkata happens to be the money contributors for his friends. While Bapi joins his family business, other friends are looking out for jobs. Jijo gets into a relationship with Hasna. Riju thinks that he is into a relationship with a girl five years older than him. One day Riju's world was shattered when she introduced Riju to her fiancé, and calls him her brother. Riju got himself drunk, and all the friends left him alone outside the bar. While returning from the pub with Dola, Bapi realised that he must have got some feelings for Dola. One day, when Dola came to Bapi's house, he asked Dola "who is Bishwayan da?". They got into an argument and Bapi kissed Dola. Dola freed herself and told that they are just friends, but gave Bapi another kiss on his cheek. Further, she told that Bapi is not manly enough and lacks any mystery in his life. Another day Bapi's sister-in-law found adult magazines and evidence of masturbation, asks Bapi's elder brother to get Bapi married.
Bapi goes to see his prospective bride, where he meets Sheuli, a middle-class girl. Sheuli asks Bapi if he loves someone else. He confesses that he loves Dola. Sheuli told that she will help him to get Dola, but he must call off the marriage. Bapi introduces Sheuli to his friends. Dola seemed jealous about Sheuli and asked Bapi that this is not the ideal time to marry. Bapi gets a job of a salesman on the advice of Sheuli and struggles to impress Dola. In the meantime, Sheuli and Bapi seem to fall in love with each other. Dola realises that she loves Bapi and wants to be with him. One day Bapi went to Sheuli's home, where she asks him to stay away.
