The story revolves around a police officer who is falsely accused of murdering his wife and imprisoned as he has been investigating a rape case that involves the younger brother of a powerful MLA. The officer then manages to evade the prison and get his revenge.

The screenplay and dialogue of the film were written by N. K. Salil. The music of the film was composed by Jeet Gannguli, with the action sequences by Judo Ramu. It was an all-time blockbuster at the box office with a long run consisting of 180 days in the theatres and also became the highest-grossing Bengali film of 2005.
