The song even has glimpses of the antagonists played byAnirban Bhattacharya and Babul Surpriyo along with appearances by guest stars Raj Chakraborty, Arindam Sil, Debaloy Bhattacharya, RJ Mir and Kamaleswar Mukherjee.

The storyline is about a vibrant young girl named Uma who is fighting for her life, her helpless father striving hard to make his daughter’s dream come true of celebrating Durga Puja. How many hurdles and dangers would Himadri have to overcome to be able to bring a smile onto his daughter’s face?
