Plot

Shatadal meets Madhuri after a long time in a railway station and their story is narrated through a series of flashbacks. They actually were a happily-married couple. Satadal was a successful engineer who lived with his wife Madhuri. But day-by-day, their relationship runs into emotional stress due to childlessness. Madhuri cannot bear a child and her husband Shatadal is fond of children. Finally, the couple decided to break up. When they meet in the station, they realize their fondness for each other has not died.
