Their first meeting takes place at a musical night in which ''Bijoy'' is one of the singers. ''Thadoi'' is a medical student and also writes poems which are set to tune by ''Bijoy''. Bijoy's grandfather wants him to learn the art of swordmanship while the grandmother wants him to study music and singing. They are serious about his marriage. On the other hand, Thadoi's brother ''Kamaljit'' and his wife want her to marry a rich family friend ''Jiten''. ''Thadoi'' elopes with ''Bijoy'', but they get separated when ''Kamaljit'' agrees to perform ''kanyadaan'' for her, although this is a promise that he breaks.

When ''Bijoy's'' grandfather comes to discuss the matter, he is attacked by ''Kamaljit's'' goons and he dies. However, despite the obstacles that are put in their way by ''Kamaljit'', their love does not die. The plot is interspersed with several incidents that add a twist to the tale, such as the attack on ''Bijoy'', his grandfather's death, a pilgrimage and a kidnapping.
