Mitali, a concerned mother, is facing a significant challenge as her 5-year-old son, Gogol, has once again been denied admission to a prestigious school. This marks the fourth rejection, and Mitali’s anxiety grows as she becomes increasingly determined to secure a spot for her only child. Her husband, Laltu Dutta, who runs a chemist's shop, focuses all his energy on supporting his business and family, striving to fulfill his wife's aspirations.
The family's plight becomes even more complex when multiple schools turn down Gogol. In her frustration, Mitali seeks the advice of a friend and hires a tutor for Gogol. However, after a short period, she becomes disheartened by the tutor’s lackadaisical approach and resolves to take matters into her own hands by teaching Gogol herself. Concerned about his wife’s escalating stress, Laltu decides to make extravagant efforts to bring her some relief. In a desperate bid, he approaches a tout, offering a substantial amount of money in exchange for securing admission for Gogol into any school. The tout demands a staggering Rs 10 lakh for his services, leaving Laltu grappling with how to acquire such funds while fearing the loss of his savings.
Amid this turmoil, the family decides to visit Bolpur, located in Birbhum district, West Bengal, where Mitali's parents live. This visit is significant as Mitali's brother is returning from abroad with his foreign wife, Jennifer. Jennifer expresses a genuine interest in embracing traditional Bengali customs and learning the language, contrasting with Mitali's fixation on enrolling Gogol in an English-medium school. She challenges Mitali’s ambitions, branding them as “linguistic imperialism.”
While Gogol enjoys a delightful holiday with his grandparents and new aunt, Mitali anxiously anticipates the interview call for her son’s potential enrollment. When the call finally arrives, the family rushes home. However, during the interview, Mitali feels that Laltu’s comical and ill-timed responses jeopardized Gogol's chances of winning a spot at the school. Fueled by frustration, Mitali knows she cannot abandon her hopes just yet. She resolves to enhance their chances by attending a coaching class aimed at preparing parents for school interviews. Initially hesitant, Laltu eventually agrees to join Mitali in this endeavor.
What follows is a blend of heartfelt moments and comedy as Laltu navigates the complexities of learning proper etiquette and improving his confidence for the interviews. The kind teacher at the coaching school helps them understand the nuances of the interview process and the broader aspects of life’s challenges. As the story unfolds, viewers are left wondering whether Gogol will finally triumph in his interview. Will Mitali achieve her dreams, or will she discover a more profound lesson about the happiness and well-being of her child? Can she prioritize Gogol's passions, such as his admiration for birds and the wonders of nature, over her own ambitions? In this emotionally charged narrative filled with various life lessons, Mitali finds herself needing to confront these questions and ultimately seeks to align her desires with what is genuinely best for Gogol. The film captures these pivotal experiences in a poignant manner as it approaches a gripping climax.
