The plot is about Giribala‚ a housewife who leads a lonely life in her in-law’s home. Giribala and Gopinath had a loving, romantic relationship when they got married but soon Gopinath fell out of love and started seeing a glamorous theatre actress, Labanga. The charm of Giribala’s youth and beauty could not keep Gopinath in the house as her husband doesn’t care at all about her anymore. Frustrated with her daily life of utter loneliness, Giribala leaves her house after Gopinath escapes with Labanga. Giribala decides to make the most of her life and comes out of the situation much braver, stronger and empowered.
