Plot

Indrajit, a superstar Tollywood actor, comes to his native home in Ballabhpur village on hearing the news of his father's death. His family consists of his younger brother Partho, his mentally disbalanced sister Ila and Partho's pregnant wife Rai. However, wherever Indrajit goes, be it the burning ghats or his native home or his friend's house or his guest house, he is always accompanied by his assistants, bodyguards, policemen and above all, hundreds of his fans. Even a mourning ceremony at his native school turns out to be a fiasco as all the villagers flock the place not to mourn for the deceased soul but to have autographs and selfies with the hero. Partho gets disappointed with this. On one hand, he is jealous of his brother's success and popularity as he himself had always been a better actor than him. On the other hand, he feels that why a man who cannot even remember when he last visited his native village should preside over everything just because he is the elder son (jyesthoputro). He feels that as he has alone taken care of his family for so many years, he should alone perform his father's last rites. On one night, in a drunken state, Partho reveals to Indrajit his inner feelings and says that he is the real jyesthoputro as he could serve his father in his old age which Indrajit did not do. Indrajit realizes the inevitable truth in Partho's words and leaves at early dawn.
