+The radical filmmaker Niranjan Chakraborty
+(Chatterjee) witnesses his friend, police officer
+Ratanlal, commit a murder. The assassinated
+man is a noted intellectual and Niranjan’s
+erstwhile Communist mentor. In a drunken
+moment Niranjan discloses what he saw to a
+young journalist, causing a major political
+scandal. In the end, he denies having seen
+anything incriminating and rescues the corrupt
+officer from a prison sentence. The plot is
+padded by the journalist turning out to be the
+filmmaker’s illegitimate daughter by an earlier
+wife (Shankar) who rejected him because of his
+unprincipled opportunism. The epilogue has
+the filmmaker win awards, his radical
+reputation intact. Much of the film depends on
+local references to actual people and events,
+e.g. the murder in the film evokes the
+assassination, during Siddhartha Shankar Ray’s
+ministry, of noted Naxalite poet and intellectual
+Saroj Dutta by the police which it is commonly
+believed was actually witnessed by the star
+Uttam Kumar. The radical filmmaker
+character is seen as a caricature of Mrinal Sen
+and Utpal Dutt.
