Plot

When Shyamal Chatterjee gets to know that he has failed in the semester, he plans a road trip with his family. He thinks that trip would be the best solution to get rid of his fear and deviate his family from knowing the actual truth. Everything has been planned perfectly so that no problems come up during the journey, but then many difficulties wind up on the way to their destination. The story is of the time of late 1970’s when Jharkhand and Bihar got partitioned into two different states.

There was chaos everywhere amongst the people where to go and find shelter. Most of the people decide to shift to Kolkata. During all these partition and shifting, death occurs in McCluskiegunj. The movie is thriller with many suspense and revelations. The cast has put an excellent effort in the film. The story goes in flashback, and then all the truth comes out. The climax is quite fascinating when the real mystery behind the death in McCluskiegunj is out.
