Fair means happiness and festivity. But amid this festivity, there are people with their misfortune. Shonai, Boshir, Dalimon, Rustom, Bonosribala and Chayaranjan are amongst these people and 'Kittonkhola' is their tale. Rural culture, festivities contrast against the gross reality of their life struggle. This harsh reality forces Bonosribala to commit suicide. Shonai, Boshir, Chayaranjan and Rustam are baffled by their profession. Darkness looms around them.
In the summer 2001 issue of Cinemaya, film critic Ahmed Muztaba Zamal wrote "The most outstanding performance in the film is that of Tamalika Karmakar". He also commended the presentation of characters Sonai and Chhayaranjan, but commented that director Abu Sayeed "has been less successful in presenting the other two important characters", Banasribala and Idu Contractor, and said the film "disappoints in places, with its technical imperfections."[1]
