Plot

Mehul (Subhashree Ganguly) is infatuated with her tuition teacher, Babaida (Ritwick Chakraborty). Mehul believes Babaida reciprocates her feelings. Babaida tells her that he has something to say to her and she assumes he is going to propose. On Holi, while she is waiting on the terrace (with abeer and vermillion), Babaida introduces Sayantika, his new girlfriend. He puts the abeer and vermillion on Mehul and tells her now she has to shoulder the responsibility of not just him but his better half too. Mehul is heartbroken and starts avoiding him. One day, a distressed Babaida hands her a letter, which she takes reluctantly. Three months later, she is told that Babaida committed suicide. After seeing his body, she breaks down.

Four years later, Mehul is working in a government company with a low-paid salary with which she sustains two households - her own and Babaida's, where only his bedridden mother lives. Her colleague Ananda encourages her to go to an interview at a big corporate company called Unicorn. Mehul does so and is hired. On her first day, she meets her boss, a young man, Ranadeb (Gaurav Chakrabarty). Mehul gives herself a makeover, dressing more provocatively and boldly, and catches Ranadeb's attention. Babaida's mother dies in the meantime. One day, Ranadeb invites her for dinner and tries to sleep with her. Suddenly, his phone rings and Mehul sees his wife is calling him: Sayantika, Babaida's girlfriend. When she provokes him, Ranadeb asks her who she is and attempts to rape her but she escapes.

In the next scene, she runs to a police station in bare feet, messed makeup, and her dress torn, indicating that she was raped. It is then that the mystery behind Babaida's suicide unfolds. From the letter he gave her, Mehul learned that Babaida and Sayantika were college friends and had entered Unicorn as interns. Sayantika started to change after Ranadeb began showing interest in her. One day Babaida entered Ranadeb's cabin to find Sayantika and Ranadeb making out. Enraged, he attacks Ranadeb. Sayantika and Ranadeb conspired against Babaida. Sayantika ran to the police station the same way Mehul had and falsely accused Babaida of raping her, for which Babaida had to face legal charges. The rape charge was too much to take as well as his career ending, and he committed suicide. Sayantika and Ranadeb married after Babaida's death. Before dying, he figured only Mehul would believe him as she loves him.

In present day, Mehul falsely accuses Ranadeb of rape the same way and he is arrested. He and Sayantika are also charged with fraudulence. Thus it becomes clear that Mehul had entered the company with a motive to avenge Babaida's death. At the end, she speaks to Babaida's portrait and tells him that she considered herself his wife as he had put vermillion on her head that day on Holi, four years ago. Being his wife, it was her duty to give him justice.
