[2][3] Adda is a modern-day fable of four interconnected tales of love, friendship, karma, and catharsis.

The film is about two naughty angels, Black and White, who come down to Kolkata to spy on the lives of four jobless friends, an aging freedom fighter, a struggling actress, and a self-righteous journalist in order to decide humanity's fate and in the process become witnesses to bumbling attempts at happiness.

Adda opened to generally positive reviews[4] but a tepid response at the box office owing to a lack of big commercial stars and huge publicity.

[5] The film drew both appreciation and criticism for its stylistic approach which included shaky camera movements, long monologues, and incomplete narrative threads which are all uncommon in Bengali Cinema.

The director Devayush Chowdhary originally conceived the film in 2011 and it took him seven years to write the screenplay.
