Gandharva Kumar's arrival disrupts the festive mood of Durga Puja at Ratanlal Babu's house. Gandharva captivates Ratanlal's grandchildren, Habul and Tinni, with his magical tricks. He then reveals a long-forgotten secret wherein he claims to be heir to Ratanlal's ancestral property. This shocks the entire family and casts a gloom, following dramatic incidents.
