Belaseshe

Biswanath Majumdar, a 75-year-old publisher, and his wife Arati, 66, have spent 49 years together and raised four children. The family dynamics are tense, with each child navigating his or her own troubled marriage while the parents drift into routine obligations. This setting establishes the friction between tradition and modern expectations that threads through the story.

Sharmistha resents Barin's status as the father's assistant in the publishing house and suspects infidelity. Malasree, married to Bijon, engages in an extramarital affair. Jyotirmoy, a gold trader, is frustrated by Kaberi's reluctance to satisfy him. Palash, directing Bollywood, has little time for his wife Piu.

On Vijayadashami night after Durga Puja, Biswanath declares in front of the gathered family that he intends to divorce Arati. Arati seems unfazed by the sudden decision, while the children scramble for information. The confrontation jolts the whole household into crisis.

Biswanath goes to court and formally files for divorce, arguing that their married life has become routine and devoid of meaning. The family watches, unsure whether legal separation will resolve the growing distance between them. The case marks a formal breaking point in years of shared life.

The judge orders a 15-day vacation for Biswanath and Arati to spend together and reconsider. If they still want to part ways afterward, they can pursue mutual divorce. The decision shifts the focus from the courtroom to the couple’s hidden dynamics at home.

Barin and three brothers-in-law secretly install CCTV cameras in Biswanath and Arati's room to overhear their conversations. Their motive is to uncover the hidden reasons behind the divorce rather than rely on secondhand reports. The surveillance marks a drastic intrusion into privacy in the pursuit of truth.

The recordings capture decades of shared grievances, disappointments, and small joys. Despite emotional distance, Biswanath and Arati reveal a durable care for each other that has persisted through busy schedules and neglect. The revelations challenge the children’s assumptions about their parents’ marriage.

Watching their parents, the siblings confront their own marital follies and begin to see love as something that requires effort. The stark contrast between parental endurance and the children’s modern, volatile relationships becomes a catalyst for reflection. The family starts to reconsider what commitment really means.

After the revelations, Biswanath urges Arati to divorce so she can become self-sufficient and independent. Arati agrees reluctantly, recognizing the potential to stand on her own. The move signals a shift from mutual dependence to personal autonomy.

Four months pass and Arati demonstrates she can manage on her own, financially and emotionally. Yet Biswanath discovers he cannot fully detach and begins to feel the sting of loneliness. The emotional gap between them remains, even as Arati grows stronger.

Biswanath realizes he cannot live without Arati and chooses to return to her. The couple resumes a hopeful, emotionally connected partnership while the family heals together. The renewed bond signals a rebalanced dynamic for everyone.

With renewed love, the entire family celebrates Biswanath and Arati's 50th marriage anniversary. The event showcases a harmonized, supportive environment among all siblings and spouses. The family’s reconciliation stands as the story’s emotional culmination.
