Plot

Jayanta is a responsible father from a remote village who will go to any lengths for his beloved daughter, Dubori, who studies at the local school. After Dubori is publicly reprimanded by a teacher for low grades, she turns to her father for support. Jayanta confronts Daisy, the teacher, explaining the struggles he has faced raising Dubori as a single parent. Daisy sympathises with his situation, and decides to help Dubori with her studies; they form a bond.

Street thugs later make fun of Dubori and Daisy in a park. Jayanta runs away instead of confronting the thugs, leading Daisy to think of him as a coward. That night, Jayanta (dressed as a robber) finds the thugs and beats them up one by one. Unbeknownst to Jayanta, Daisy sees this and is shocked. She asks Jayanta who he is, and he reveals his past.

In a flashback, Jayanta is a gangster for a powerful businessman in Guwahati. The businessman has a daughter, Manashi, who is studying abroad. When she returns home, she meets Jayanta and is attracted to his kindness; he runs a social service for the elderly, whom he considers his only family. Jayanta and Manashi begin dating, although Manashi has no idea that Jayanta is a gangster for her father. Manashi sees him threatening an innocent man, as ordered by her father; days later, he apologises to her and says he did it for the old people he helps. She tells him to get a legitimate job, and she will help support him. Jayanta quits being a gangster and finds an ordinary job. Manashi marries him, despite opposition from her father and her cruel brother, and becomes pregnant. She dies in a car crash, but the baby is saved. Manashi's father wants to take revenge on Jayanta by taking the baby from him, but Jayanta and his child escape to the remote village.

In the present, Manashi's father, brother, and gang are still searching for the child; they find Dubori, and kidnap her. Jayanta rescues his daughter; Manashi's father, realising his mistake, gives them both his blessing. The film ends with Jayanta, Dubori, and Daisy riding Jayanta's bicycle.
