Plot
Pralay, an orphan, is given shelter by Kaka Babu, just like the latter had given to the brother- sister orphans, Mainak and Khushi. The three grew up like family members. Growing up, Pranay falls in love with Chandni, the daughter of Tridib Babu, the local don. Pralay and Mainak often clash with Tridib's men and always teach them a lesson. The entry of Sangeeta creates a misunderstanding between the two, as Mainak has a crush on her, but he learns that Sangeeta loves Pralay. Siddhartha is a college-mate of Khushi. He was not getting any scope of conveying his love for her. Ultimately he joins as manager in the Mainak-Pralay company.
