Plot

The film is the story of an 18-year-old boxer, Rony, who has reached adulthood after making many mistakes, but must move on. The boxing ring is a metaphor for life; every hurt and injury is a lesson in life, as he strives to win not a trophy but his first love, Jinia.{{cite news|url=https://www.kolkata24x7.com/actress-ena-saha-wants-to-be-a-bengali-teacher.html|title=অভিনয় ছেড়ে শিক্ষিকার ভূমিকায় এনা?|publisher=kolkata24x7|access-date=14 December 2017|archive-date=30 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171230172224/https://kolkata24x7.com/actress-ena-saha-wants-to-be-a-bengali-teacher.html|url-status=dead}}
