In the vibrant neighborhood of Shantinir in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, the story unfolds around Mobarak, a man who is deeply loved by his community. During a joyous Eid celebration atop the community center with his relatives, Mobarak takes to the stage to perform a song. However, just as he reaches a heartfelt note, he suddenly collapses and passes away, leaving the neighborhood in shock and mourning. His untimely death marks the beginning of a journey into the spiritual and emotional depths of the characters' lives.
Exactly one year after Mobarak's passing, his younger cousin, Jahangir, emerges as a central figure. Jahangir is portrayed as somewhat narrow-minded and self-centered, managing a decorative business in the same neighborhood. His reputation among residents is less than flattering, often being called "Khaishta Jahangir," which translates to rude or ill-tempered Jahangir, reflecting their disapproval of his behavior and lifestyle. Despite this, Jahangir receives a warm invitation from his nephew—who has returned from Canada—to celebrate Eid at his house. During this visit, he is gifted a Punjabi, hinting at the familial ties and cultural celebrations that continue to bring the community together.
As the night progresses, strange and supernatural occurrences begin to manifest within Jahangir's house. He is awakened from a vivid nightmare in which he envisions Mobarak’s spirit warning him about the unforeseen visits from ghosts. These spirits are determined to reveal to Jahangir his past, present, and future. The first ghost appears in the form of Chanchal Chowdhury, appearing as the "ghost of the Past." This spectral figure vividly recounts Jahangir's childhood, including the tragic death of his parents and the subsequent events leading to his current life. The ghost takes him on a journey to Mobarak's house, revealing the sorrow surrounding the death of Jahangir’s elder sister, and details his romantic involvement with a girl named Jesmin, whom he eventually marries under specific conditions: that Jesmin continues her studies and lovingly cares for his nephew Joy, like a mother.
The ghost then vanishes, and the spirit of the present appears, personified by Jaya Ahsan. She shows Jahangir how his current life has been affected by his evolution into a self-absorbed and rude individual. His attitude towards Jesmin, Joy, and others has strained their relationships. The loss of Joy—who is taken to London by his aunt—causes Jahangir to panic, leading him to hide Jesmin’s exam admit card in a misguided attempt to control her future. When she discovers the card and the truth, she is devastated, and their marriage dissolves through divorce, leaving Jahangir regretful and disconnected from his past actions.
The spirit of the future manifests in the form of Aupee Karim, who shows Jahangir scenes that will unfold the next day. He witnesses the hardships faced by his coworkers, the strained relationship between Joy and his wife, and sees Jesmin, now older, living with her family in Dhaka. These visions serve as a stark reflection of the consequences of his behavior and choices.
Realizing the importance of self-reflection, Jahangir confides in a doctor, who helps him understand that these ghostly visions are a manifestation of his past sins and regrets. Inspired by this epiphany, Jahangir begins to change. He visits Mobarak’s grave and starts treating his neighbors with kindness and respect. His newfound humility leads him to reconnect with Jesmin, who reveals that their daughter, Esha, is actually his biological child.
The story culminates in a heartfelt Eid celebration, where Jahangir, now a transformed man, invites Jesmin and her family to the community center. Esha, Joy’s child, joins the festivities, symbolizing hope and reconciliation. Jahangir announces his retirement, dedicates the community center to Mobarak’s memory, and commits to living a more compassionate life. The film concludes with the ghostly spirits, still appearing as the actors who portrayed them—Jaya Ahsan, Chanchal Chowdhury, and others—observing fireworks from a rooftop, embodying the enduring legacy of reflection, redemption, and the spirit of Eid.
