This film was directed by alternative Indian filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak in Kolkata (then Calcutta) based on the same name novel by Shibram Chakraborty.[4] The plot is about a misbehaving boy who runs away from his village and goes to Calcutta.[5][6]

Plot

Kanchan, who is eight years old is always up to pranks and mischief in his village home. He finds his father a cruel demon who keeps his mother oppressed and imprisoned. In his dreams, the big city is El Dorado, i.e. Kolkata till he reaches there. But the glimpses of reality are harsher and the victims he meets give him a different view of the city. He gets to know the dialectics of life in the city of joy, love and hate, honesty and dishonesty. He meets the small and loving girl Mini and her family, folk singers, street hawkers, footpath magicians, beggars, thieves. He himself has to struggle for survival and experiences life as it is, only to go back to his village home. This time as a mature person he realises that his father is no demon after all, but yet another victim struggling with poverty and still a loving father.[7]
