In this way, they live their life.
All are going well, but the movie goes a tragic turn when Anita's father gets injured in an accident when come to his house. For that cause, Nita leaves her study and find a job, in search of money to support her family. Sadly, the worst life of her is started at that moment.

Sanat comes to Anita's house to visit her. But her mother does not see that in the good eye, as she doesn't want to marry her daughter Nita because of her main contribution to their family's poverty. Suddenly Sanat falls in love with Nita's sister Gita. And they get married. After that Sanat join a new job, leaving his dream of research.

All of the reasons hit her heart. After day by day, her health becomes affected. The hospital nurse tells her to test her body. But she does not. After that, she discovers that she has a tubercle when she sees red blood in the fringe part of her saree which she used to cough. Despite all these horrible days of her, she does not stop her working to support her family.
After discovering her disease no one takes care of her except her elder brother Sankar. He takes her to another place for her cure. In the end scene, we see Nita throwing herself in the arms of Sankar and crying deeply in the hills, saying to her big brother that 'I wanna live brother, wanna live.
Through this story, the director Ritwik Ghatak shows the power and full truth of our daily life story. We must learn to live ourselves as we live for our special members. In every story, we forget our dreams and come to our responsibility, which starts breaking down us, firstly mentally and then physically. So we don't forget our dreams in every situation. Here we see two characters Sanat and Sankar, Sankar loves to become a singer, and after hearing many bitter words and strong practice, he gets his dream job. But in another, Sanat, who wants to do research but he can not of her small feelings, he finds a job, alas he has no interest in doing this job. Here we get another clue that Sankar gets her dream job, and Montu gets a job for the sacrifice of nita. So we say that if any person who achieved something in his life had the support of someone. The person's sacrifice makes this person successful in his life.
In this movie, we find each character in our family. The responsible daughter, artist brother, young sister-brother, teacher father, and haughty wife are all characters are real. The responsibility and smile of nita in difficult situations, Sankar's practice every morning to get his dream, and the comical lines of her father make the movie really perfect and unique. The music of this movie in every scene is very good and makes realistic the scene. Finally, All the actors and actresses really play a good role in their characters.
