An NRI producer and former leading actress, Padmini Chowdhury (Sharmila Tagore), has returned to India to invest in a film.

Padmini insists on casting a retired actress, Kakoli Sengupta (Kalyani Mandal), in a prominent role.

Covering the event are a journalist for a local magazine, Mallika Sen (Nandita Das), and a freelance photographer, Shubhankar Chowdhury (Anindya Chatterjee).

The production team also includes makeup artist Kalpana Sengupta (Moumita Gupta) and camera assistant Sunil Mehra (Rajesh Sharma).

Investigating officer Arindam Chatterjee (Tota Roy Chowdhury) initially suspects the husband, who is in an extramarital affair, but the poison is found to have entered her system while she was at the reception event.

She then places an anonymous piece in her niece's magazine, which is about whether infections during pregnancy can harm the unborn child, in the edition which is to carry Padmini's interview with Mallika.
