About the film

Raktim comes back to his town after five years to attend his sister’s wedding and is mildly struck by the few changes that have happened here during his absence. In this journey, he comes across three people—all coincidentally named Bokul—and observes the silent turmoil that pulls their lives apart. Raktim’s gradual journey opens up various aspects of the society to him, aspects that he was not aware of till now. He also realizes that though this journey of his has created a new awakening for him, other people (like his family) are still blissfully unaware of the intolerance and violence that is brewing within the society
