About the film

Hailing from a poor family, blind man Kanai Chakraborty chooses the daring life of a swimmer. But his success in the sport couldn’t ensure him a job, and hence he has to keep swimming to retain a respectable identity at the age of 40. As he continues stumbling off the water while sailing smooth on it, the film chronicles the roller-coster journey of a gritty man who constantly negotiates with destitution, desire and destiny while chasing his dream.
