Newlyweds Kiriti Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Krishna Roy, Arunima Ghosh, head to Puri for their honeymoon, hoping to enjoy the sea breeze and the new chapter of their lives together. The trip begins with a cultural evening at Navrang Theatre, where a chance encounter with Kali Sarkar—Kiriti’s childhood neighbour who once taught him to play chess—stirs questions. Kali casually claims he was in an accident in Puri and extends an invitation to the couple to visit him the next day at the hotel he’s staying in, Blue View. Kiriti senses something off, since the accident actually happened in Kolkata, not in Puri. The air grows even more puzzling when a strange Sardarji appears, proudly wearing a locket that bears the symbol of Lokenath Baba, hinting at hidden connections and secret histories that might be closer than they think.
The following day, the duo moves to Rainbow View and learns that Durga, the hotel’s owner, had left the premises the previous night. Kiriti meets Rana Sanyal, the hotel’s proprietor, who reveals that a room is always booked for him, a detail that deepens the aura of mystery around the place. While waiting for Kiriti in the reception area, Radha notices a woman who seems to keep a careful watch on the couple, adding a layer of surveillance and unease. Outside the hotel, they also encounter Pitaji, a familiar figure who appears at crucial moments, suggesting there are local threads pulling at the case from behind the scenes.
Their curiosity leads them to the Konark Moon Temple, where Kiriti begins to recount the temple’s history to Krishna. A physics professor with an interest in history joins the conversation and corrects a point in the narration, underscoring the theme that fact and interpretation can blur, especially in a place steeped in legend. The return journey is interrupted by the news that a dead body has been found on the sea beach: Mona Ali, a waiter at Rainbow View. Kiriti examines the body and soon finds himself drawn into a real investigation, his skills and instincts tested by a mystery that seems to be spiraling beyond a simple misfortune.
That very night, someone enters Durga’s hotel room and searches for something, a disturbance that Rana notices with growing concern. The next day, Kiriti discovers a scarf abandoned on a balcony and Kali’s diary, which is filled with cryptic notes on chess moves. The diary points to a hidden pattern, revealing that Kali had accumulated a shocking amount of black money and used to visit Puri frequently, a thread that seems to tie his presence to more than casual tourism. Kiriti also meets Harit Sanyal, Runa’s husband, whose presence adds another piece to the puzzle and hints at the tangled relationships simmering beneath the town’s sunlit surface.
As he pores over Kali’s diary, Kiriti spots a suspicious entry: a seemingly wrong chess move written as “2 RMRJ 4.00,” alongside mentions of the legendary Capablanca. The discovery adds a chess motif to the real-world intrigue surrounding the case, suggesting that literal moves may mirror more personal, strategic gambits being played off the board. Krishna, meanwhile, reveals she has seen the woman at the hotel’s reception and the Sardarji, confirming that several characters in this story are keeping secrets close.
The narrative builds toward a gripping climax that lays bare the complexity of human relationships and the darker currents that can drive people to act against one another. The tale threads together love, deceit, loyalty, and motive, painting a portrait of a seaside town where the surface glitter of a honeymoon is overshadowed by a web of hidden loyalties, concealed wealth, and the menacing possibility that the past is never truly left behind. In the end, the film withdraws into a reflection on how intimate bonds can fracture under pressure, exposing a poignant, sometimes unsettling truth about what people are willing to do when the stakes are high.
