Anjan Dutt, Amyt Datta, Lew Hilt, Nondon Bagchi, all in their mid-50s are members of a successful Bangla-band. They go for a show in North Bengal where Ranjana performs a small opening salutation.

Once in Kolkata, Ranjana stays at Anjan's house with him and his housekeeper, Kanchan Mullick. One night Anjan tries to seduce Ranjana but, due to too much drinking, he faints allowing Ranjana to run. But she stays and nurses him.
