Ranirghat is a village made up of refugees from the then East Pakistan. Its current population is 148. The lives of the villagers take a new turn when a census official questions Faltus parentage. While it is wellknown that Faltu is the son of Sureswari Dasi aka Suri Khepi a mad woman on the street played Indrani Haldar, no one knows who his father is. Neither does Faltu nor he has even bothered with the question. He was happy with what he was doing driving a bus and ferrying villagers.The census officials question opens a Pandoras box. It turns out that many apparently upright men in the village including Ismail Biplab Chatterjee, who brought up Faltu and taught him driving raped Suri Khepi, taking advantage of her mental condition. Everybody knows that Faltus father is one of them, but nobody is sure of who that is. Faltu is not particularly concerned. He is more interested in earning his living, and pursuing his love interest Tuktuki Manjari Fadnis. ........
