Patna (पटना) is the capital of the Indian state of Bihar, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world. ...

Life goes on smoothly for Shyamal until he learns that a consignment of fans meant for exports is defective just before the shipment of a prestigious export order and Shyamalendu is held to blame. He hatches a plan with the labor officer to provoke a strike at the factory.A factory watchman is badly injured and false riot is organised and a lock-out declared.

For his 'efficient' handling of the crisis, Shyamalendu is promoted and there is congratulations all around.However Shyamalendu has fallen in the eyes of both Tutul and himself. Shyamalendu is left successful and desolate - at the top.
