	Back in Ramesh's new home in Kolkata, the facts of mistaken identity gradually come to light. She is Kamala not Susheela. Her husband is a doctor named Nalinaksha Chatterjee.

Ramesh returns and finds her suicide note, searches everywhere to no avail. He does not know that she has been rescued by a courtesan and deposited in Kashi under Nalinaksha's mother's care.

[[File:60431813-322x242.jpg|[[Raima Sen]] as Hemnalini and [[Jisshu Sengupta]] as Ramesh|thumb|right]]
A tender romance blossoming in early [[Kolkata]] between law student Ramesh and his friend's sister Hemnalini, is nipped suddenly when his father sends an urgent and mysterious summons from his village home. There, the dutiful son is peremptorily ordered to marry Susheela, daughter of a helpless widow. Ramesh refuses, confesses that his heart belongs to another. But the widow's fervent plea softens him ultimately. And he concedes, albeit with a heavy heart. The wedding takes place with due ceremony; and Ramesh sets out with his bride on a river boat journey back to Kolkata.

Soon a fierce storm arises; the boat tosses helplessly and finally capsizes in the churning waters. Later that night, Ramesh comes to his senses on a deserted shore under a starlit sky. Some distance away, he sees the unconscious form of a young bride. Her pulse is still beating, and in response to his voice calling 'Susheela' she opens her eyes at last. There is no one else in sight, alive or dead. The two move off, take a train to Kolkata, the bride wondering why they were not going to [[Varanasi|Kashi]], but trusting his judgment implicitly.

Hem, his true love, knows nothing of all this. Ramesh has been missing from the evening of her birthday party. They have learnt of his hasty departure from the city, but nothing else. Though she pines inwardly, she is confident that he will return soon.

Back in Ramesh's new home in Kolkata, the facts of mistaken identity gradually come to light. She is Kamala not Susheela. Her husband is a doctor named Nalinaksha Chatterjee. Ramesh writes an advertisement to trace his whereabouts; but he does not have the heart to break this news to the helpless trusting young girl in his care. He puts her into a boarding school instead. But soon, Hem's would be suitor Akshay comes to know of Ramesh's secret and brings proof positive to Hem. Ramesh, unable to handle such a scandal, seeks hiding in [[Gorakhpur]] with Kamala. A devastated Hem is brought to [[Varanasi|Kashi]] by her father to help her forget. There she meets Nalinaksha and they warm up to each other.

In the meanwhile, having read the advertisement in an old newspaper, Kamala realizes the enormity of the lie she has been living, and walks out determined to drown herself in the river. Ramesh returns and finds her suicide note, searches everywhere to no avail. He does not know that she has been rescued by a courtesan and deposited in Kashi under Nalinaksha's mother's care. Kamala now sees her real husband for the first time, but cannot speak up, for he is betrothed to Hem.

Finally, the advertisement she keeps knotted in her [[Sari|saree]] is discovered, and the whole truth comes to light. Ramesh finally traces Nalinaksha and arrives at his house.

The story raises many questions of head and heart and the validity or otherwise of social conventions. The viewers are left wondering whether true love will finally triumph.

== Reception ==
The premiered as the opening film of the ''Indian Panorama'' section during the 41st [[International Film Festival of India]] (IFFI), Goa on 24 November 2010, in the year that marked [[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s 150th birth anniversary. It later had its commercial release in January 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?701489|title='Noukadubi' to Premiere at IFFI Goa|date=17 November 2010|website=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref>

The film reviews were generally positive. [[Pratim D. Gupta]] of ''[[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]]'' called ''Noukadubi'' "an enriching ride on stranger tides" and wrote "on the surface, this sexless love game may come across as tepid and tame, slow and sombre compared to the roller-coaster passion play that was ''Chokher Bali'', but ''Noukadubi''’s charm lies in the lingering aftertaste, the enduring pleasure in the pain".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110521/jsp/entertainment/story_14008122.jsp|title=The floating hearts|author=Pratim D.
