In the film, a young girl, Uma (Sara Sengupta) living in Switzerland, is fighting for her life with a [[terminal disease]]. She wants to see [[Durga Puja]] of [[Kolkata]], the biggest celebrated festival in Bengali culture. Himadri Sen, her father ([[Jisshu Sengupta]]) takes her to Kolkata to fulfill her dream by planning to set up a fake Durga Puja. Her father and family struggle much to make his daughter's dreams come true and find a director called Brahmananda Chakraborty ([[Anjan Dutt]]).
