Rajatava Dutta as Felu Acharya rises as the formidable Don of Rajpur, navigating the turbulent hierarchy dominated by self-proclaimed (pseudo) intellectuals. In this constant moral and societal struggle, his primary opportunity for gaining social acceptance hinges on winning a theatrical competition, where he faces a critical dilemma between leveraging his raw power and upholding his ethical principles. The film's narrative revolves around the suspense of whether he can fulfil his heartfelt promise to his mother, ultimately crafting a compelling story of Felu Acharya's life, intricately intertwined with power, ethics, and the changing tides of the era's society.
