Snehamoy(Rahul Bose) is a school teacher in the interiors of Sundarbans, West Bengal. In his college days, he send to the letters to a Japanese woman Migaya (Chingusa Takaku). He found her name in a magazine under ‘pen friends’. Slowly they become good friends and decide to get married without met each other. They stay married for 15 years. There’s a lot of caring between the two. Both worry for the other. She sends him photographs, gifts and even a huge box of traditional Japanese kites. In response, he sends her rain-drenched champak blossoms carefully wrapped in plastic with the hope that they will retain their fragrance until they reach her. His aunt Maashi (Moushumi Chatterjee) was shocked at first, but later she is ready to accept her absentee niece in-law. However this unusual relationship comes under a cloud when his aunt’s god daughter Sandhya (Raima Sen), a young widow comes to stay with Snehmoy along with her eight year old son (Rudranil Ghosh). With Sandhya, Snehamoy discovers a bond of home life and with her son Paltu, he discovers the joys of fatherhood. This movie is about love that has no geographic or cultural boundaries. In addition, this movie is blessed with all good things including good performance of actors, humour, photography and music. Hope that this film will be super hit in coming days.
